Unlike normal shamans, she can summon ghosts whenever and wherever she wants. It is revealed that You’s family has arranged his marriage with Anna to keep the bloodline going. You tells Manta that Anna is determined to make him the Shaman King as that will make her the Queen. Later, they are both surprised when she starts attending the same school as them.
Anna, You, and Manta go to see a film together. It stars Chinese actor Lee Pyron. A legend both in the entertainment industry and martial arts world, Pyron died under mysterious circumstances. It is later revealed that Tao Jun, Ren’s older sister, has sent them the tickets. Her family killed Pyron and turned him into a corpse puppet for her. She can control him with her daoshi abilities.
You eventually manages to defeat her with Manta’s help and frees Pyron. However, the late movie star realizes what the Tao family has done to him and attacks Jun.
