General Yunan

General Yunan is a supporting character in Amphibia. She is known for her accomplishment of becoming the youngest newt to achieve the rank of general in the Newtopian Army. From Newtopia, she is known to be skilled and ruthless as a warrior.

Appearance
She is a tall, pink newt with a slender build and white-blonde hair that protrudes from the back of her head. She has a lighter shaded underbelly, and a long tail, featuring darker pink spots. Her eyes are glowing yellow with black thin pupils when looked closely.

She wears Newtopian-issued armor, made of silver, including two pauldrons patterned with intricate swirling designs, similar to the rest of her armor. Her cape depicts the symbol of the Newtopia flag. Pinned to her chest is her military insignia, boasting her rank as general. Her armor features two long switchblades in each gauntlet. She also wears high black boots with white fringes on the top.

Personality
General Yunan is conceited and boasts about her past victories during the Sand Wars, especially her defeat of Ragnar the Wretched, whom she often quotes. She is insane and violent, as well as insightful, as shown by her ability to dupe Percy and Braddock into exposing Grime's location. Nonetheless, her egotistical nature is her hubris that results in her own downfall, as she gets too invested in introducing herself rather than staying aware of potential threats.

Despite this, Yunan has a sense of honor, as she was conflicted when King Andrias revealed his true intentions, and refused to work for him by "Olivia & Yunan".

Background
Prior to the events of the series, she achieved the rank of general among the Newtopian military's army branch at the youngest age yet. She also fought in the Sand Wars and defeated a foe known as Ragnar the Wretched, whom little is known about.

During "Toadcatcher", Newtopia sends Yunan to collect Captain Grime for military failure in the Valley, but she is defeated by him and his 1st lieutenant Sasha Waybright when they agreed to work together.

In "The First Temple", she returns to Newtopia and informs Andrias in his throne room of Amphibia's situation having persistent civil unrest, with the toad lords planning a meeting would spill disaster. before Yunan can tell Andrias about Sasha's whereabouts, the meeting is cut short when the king receives a letter from Marcy about her success, confusing Yunan once Andrias leaves the throne room.

In "True Colors", Yunan attacks the toads holding Anne's group captive, then tries to introduce herself to them, but quickly gets cut off by Lady Olivia due to urgency of time. She helps fight off the rest of the toad invasion, and silences Sasha when she attempts to warn Anne of Andrias' intentions at the castle. However, Yunan is shocked when Andrias reveals his real plan about Newtopia; during the ensuing battle, she protects Olivia from a Frog-bot flung her way by Grime, slicing it in half, before seemingly fleeing the battle with her.

In "Turning Point", which continues where "True Colors" left off, it's revealed that Yunan and Olivia are still within the throne room when the battle ended, having likely hidden themselves throughout the duration for a chance to escape unnoticed. When Andrias retrieves the Calamity Box after mortally injuring Marcy and inadvertently transporting Anne and the Plantars to Earth on their own, the two attempt to stealthily flee the scene but are quickly caught, with the king questioning them whether they were still "with him". Terrified of her liege's true nature and the power he now commands, Yunan swears fealty to him alongside Olivia. Andrias then orders the two to put Marcy into a rejuvenation tank to save the girl's life.

Name and Basis
Given that she is a newt, her name might be a reference to the, an extinct species of newt that was found in the Yunnan province of China.

Voice

Trivia

 * Her name is usually confused to be "Yunnan", possibly due to it being spelled that was in the captions as well as the Yunnan lake newt.
 * Although Yunan's retractable hooked claws are so sharp that they can slice down things from plates to trees like a hot knife through butter, they are not as durable and more brittle than Sasha's pink heron sword when the 2 claws on Yunan's right gauntlet shattered in half after constant clashes against Sasha's sword as seen in "Toadcatcher".
 * General Yunan is afraid of grubhogs as shown in "Olivia & Yunan", because one tried to bite her hand off when she was a child.
