An Si-eun's avatar has long, light-blue hair which is almost pure white, one of the most defining feature of Undine players. She also has calm deep-blue eyes shining radiantly beneath her drooping eyelashes, a long nose, lustrous lips and surprisingly slender body, all of which give off the feeling of an excellent Undine healer.

In town, she wears light, blue ordinary clothes, but in battle, she wears an Ancient-level, cleric-styled, white and navy-blue robe, a hat which poofs out like a cake, and she carries a thin silver staff in her right hand.

Personality
An Si-eun is kind at heart, but also somewhat sensitive and emotional. Si-eun is not as emotionally resilient as Yuuki, as she was ready to give up many times, but, after meeting her and learning that she had been going through the same pain all her life, Si-eun forced herself to continue.

Background
As with the other members of the Sleeping Knights, An Si-eun was diving into virtual worlds to improve her life quality, since she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She was treated with chemotherapy and became better, but after a year, she was sick again. As she was not compatible for a bone marrow transplant, she was given drugs and salvage chemotherapy to ease the pain.

An Si-eun also has a brother, who accompanied her to Yuuki's memorial service, but waited outside at her request.

Mother's Rosario
An Si-eun was first introduced in an inn on the 27th Floor of Aincrad as a member of the Sleeping Knights guild. She acted as a support player to her party during battles, not only healing, but also casting buffs on them. With Asuna's help, they managed to defeat the floor's boss. After the guild disbanded, Siune was the only one who faced Asuna and asked her not to look for them. After Asuna met Yuuki at the hospital, Siune, along with the other members, returned to ALO and cleared the 28th and 29th Floors. Throughout February, Si-eun received less medication, and while her doctors told her that her condition was improving, she believed she would soon die. The day after Yuuki passed away, the doctors informed An Si-eun that she had completely recovered and she was discharged from hospital.

A week later, after Yuuki's funeral had ended, An Si-eun approached Asuna, introducing herself and revealing that she has recovered. She revealed that she felt guilty about outliving Yuuki and the other members of the Sleeping Knights, but was comforted when Asuna said that thanks to Yuuki, she now knew what it meant to live life to the fullest. An Si-eun then thanked Asuna for making Yuuki so happy, and was pleased with the thought that it may be a while before the Sleeping Knights were reunited in death. Doctor Kurahashi soon arrived and congratulated An Si-eun on her recovery, saying that Yuuki would have been pleased with it.

Trivia

 * An Si-eun/Siune, originally An Shi En/Shiien in the web novel, is actually a Korean name. However, the name was changed in the light novel, because, when the author was working on the paperback version of his novel, he consulted a Japanese-Korean translator on whether the name he had used in the web novel actually existed. He found out that, although Shiien did not exist, Si-eun was a rather popular name.
