Yin Song (Chinese: 宋陰 "Song Yin") is a Chinese female anthropomorphic flora_fauna (plant) original character created by ZnHc. It is based from the Diphylleia Grayi species.

Based in the real species, Yin's petals can transition in a translucid ice/glass like blossom in presence of moisture, her mood may affect her bloom as well.

Lorewise she lives in an alternative Earth timeline where humans and plant-kind intelligent people coexists in the same civilization. She was born in Japan and raised and educated in Mainland China.

The common name of the flower species in the West is Skeleton Flower or Umbrella Leaf; not to be confused with the Umbrella Leaf from the Plants Vs Zombies series.

In real life, the Diphylleia genus from the Berberidaceae is native from Eastern Asia and Eastern North America and the glassy flower variant is the Diphylleia Grayi species, which has been documented historically mostly in northem Japan is also endemic of Asia; Relatively common in Hokkaido Island. It is commonly known in Chinese and Japanese as the "Lotus of the Mountains" (Mandarin: 山荷叶 pinyin: Shān hé yè; Japanese Hiragana: サンカヨウ romaji: Sankayō) this is because of the ressemblence of the foliage of the Nymphaeaceae family of lily pad plants but the Sankayou grows in relatively cold, template highlands.

In the Japanese Floriography Hanakotoba (Japanese: 花言葉) the flower's meaning is "Natural person; Love and happiness of the dear"
