Seon-nyeo (선녀 Seon-nyeo?), also known as Player 044, is a participant of the Squid Games in 2024.

Seon-nyeo is a once-powerful Korean shaman, currently past her prime, whose role was to curse people and deliver prophecies.

Despite her misfortunes which led her to the 36th Squid Game, Seon-nyeo is a rather arrogant woman with a big ego, this being influenced by her past as a renowned Shaman. She is also selfish, outspoken and struggles with bouts of anxiety, which causes her to lash out at others.

She is able to read people well, having correctly deduced that Seong Gi-hun had played and won the Squid Game before, when the two first met. Seon-nyeo is fast to judge and turn her back on others. She broke her alliance with Cho Hyun-ju, Park Yong-sik and Jang Geum-ja, after completing the third game "Mingle", because in the heat of the moment, they left her behind in one of the rounds in the game, showing that she highly values loyalty. This value of loyalty would crucially lead Player 006 (whom she allied with) to become the only player in the third vote to change their vote from 'X' to 'O," resulting in a split vote and leading to the eventual bathroom and Special Game bloodshed.

Seon-nyeo is also very religious, believing in Gods and that they decide every human's fate and often prays to deities. She likely sees herself as superior to others because of the belief that she has a link to higher powers that others don't.

Seon-Nyeo is Korean for "fairy" (specifically female) in Korean/sino folklore.
