Memory is the Gift used by Yeon. It allowed her to manipulate the minds of others through subtle yet potent mind control.

Description

A rare mental-based ability, the Gift granted Yeon the ability to manipulate the minds of others, manifesting as a pixel-like resonance that appeared to alter reality from the perspective of a target.^[1] It's triggered by Yeon making eye contact with her target. Hints of the Gift were first seen during Mind Shocker's probing of Ihwa's mind, as Kasha, curious about how she was resisting his own Mind Shock. After entering her subconscious, the Villains would then try to remove one of her "restricts" before he was stopped by a wraith-like figure that resembled Yeon, but Ihwa herself wasn't aware of the figure assuming that she simply punched him in her mind.^[2]

The Gift is arguably the greatest among mental-based Gifts, due to its control over the minds of numerous powerful combatants like Dusk and The Fingers, who were completely unaware that they were being manipulated and used.

Usage

Yeon was a highly lethal master and brilliant tactician with her Gift, having placed potent "seeds" within the minds of her "coworkers", the Fingers, the very moment they had met, foreseeing an eventuality of betrayal and confrontation with the deadly assassins and multiple Black Hand agents like Senshu, subtly using them as countermeasures to aid either her or her allies even after her death. ^[3] She also rigged vague commands like "forget Yeon" to be completely undetected by Shards or Gifts due to manifesting as a nice mixture of truth and lies.

The veracity of Yeon's death was depicted in two distinct different accounts; Chain's Ring showed her valiantly fighting against the Black Hand and struck down by the Second Finger's "Gift" but was stopped by Yushin, the Ghost of Dust City, from finishing her off later tragically dying in Ihwa's arms ^[4] and Majesty's first-hand account remembering a "fierce battle" that she, Nanzu, Immortal, Saint Light, and Seven, in its "Varius" persona, ultimately won, though, she had already slain over half of them. But the insane saint made no mention of encountering or fighting Yushin, claiming that it was "Varius" who personally volunteered to dispose of Yeon’s body.^[5]

And as testament to Yeon's power, the Gift is strong enough to negate other Gifts like it, overwhelming Saint Light's Light of the Messiah to the point of destroying his entire nervous system in a single clash and easily negating Mind Shocker's Mind Shock.^[6] With the Gift inevitably wearing off, Agent Number Seven began using its basic abilities to annihilate its victims, having killed the likes of Sledgehammer, a District Manager, with one-sided ease. ^[7]

Techniques

Image	Name	Description
	Protection	Yeon was able to implant mental safeguards in others; these protective barriers are capable of repelling other forms of Mental-based Gifts and presumably mental manipulation from Shards. Years ago, Yeon implanted a potent countermeasure in Ihwa's subconscious to protect her from future threats.
	Suppression	Yeon was able to seal and suppress Ihwa's emotions, intending to protect her from any unnecessary emotional pain in her youth. Bit by bit, these seals would eventually fade after Ihwa had reached a new level of mental and emotional maturity.
	Compulsion	One of the signature techniques of her Gift, Yeon compels her opponent and targets to commit suicide through a simple command like Everyone. Kill Yourself. Aside from self-harm, a victim could also be used to kill and attack their own allies with distorted illusions. And while already deadly, Yeon, in her empowered state, could compel powerful individuals to harm themselves regardless of their own willpower or prowess just from her presence alone.
	Implantation	Yeon was able to implant false perceptions of reality, commands, and memories within her opponents or targets.
	Memory Wipe	Her secondary signature technique and the most potent, Yeon was able to "delete" specific memories in a target's mind wiping away their mind and even their entire identities.
	"Memory of The Kasha"	Yeon's ultimate technique and her hidden "trump card", this empowered state representing the entirety of her power as the Kasha. This state allowed her to bypass her own restriction by generating a massive EST barrier around a specific area. Within the barrier, Yeon was capable of controlling all opponents, forcing them to obey her commands.

Weaknesses

While incredibly powerful, the Gift has a notable restriction and simple weakness. Its restriction prevents it from affecting a previous target or individuals ^[8]. Additionally, Yeon was unable to control the illusions or false events her Gift produced, as it was impossible to manipulate the minds of dozens of targets.

For example, Dalia Mendoza struggled to remember Yeon, her memories - a mixture of their early meeting, fight, and missions together. And Nanzu remembering the events of Operation Dusk failing with the arrival of Yushin, the Ghost of Dusty City, but succeeding in killing Yeon.^[9]
