Xiao Wu

Biodata

Background / History

Origins

Xiao Wu came from the Star Dou Great Forest and entered human society after taking human form. Her early experiences at Nuoding Academy were her first interactions with humans, leaving her unfamiliar with many human customs and expressions 8 10 20.

Her mother was the source of Bibi Dong’s ninth Soul Ring for her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul 40.

Dorm Seven

Before Yu Fan and Tang San arrived, Xiao Wu defeated Wang Sheng and claimed leadership of Dorm Seven. She insisted that the newcomers challenge her under the dormitory’s rules, refusing to accept Tang San’s concession without a fight. When he continued to refuse, she challenged Yu Fan, intending to defeat him and then make him fight Tang San 7.

Her Soft Skill attacks could neither injure nor throw Yu Fan. He grabbed her collar and threw her to the floor, injuring her ankle and ending her brief tenure as dorm boss. Yu Fan subsequently reset the joint using instructions from Tang San 7 8.

Xiao Wu accompanied Yu Fan to Dorm Six and supported his plan to collect protection money from its wealthy students. She offered to protect them once her ankle healed and happily accepted the Gold Soul Coin he gave her afterward 8.

Sharing Bedding and Learning the Brawling Analects

Unable to find bedding for herself, Xiao Wu asked to borrow Yu Fan’s. After he agreed, she pushed their beds together so they could share it 9.

She enthusiastically accepted his Brawling Analects, including his reinterpretation of a saying as using overwhelming strength instead of talking. Her sincere approval completed Yu Fan’s system quest and earned him the Way of Jin and Che. Its first demonstration frightened her, and she struggled to understand his explanation of a Self-Created Soul Skill 9 10.

The Roast Rabbit Incident

When Yu Fan returned from helping Tang San obtain his first Soul Ring, Xiao Wu complained that he had left without telling her. She quickly forgave him after he promised to notify her next time 18.

Her mood changed when Tang San revealed the roasted Soft Bone Rabbit they had brought back. Initially attracted by its smell, she became horrified upon recognizing one of her own kind. Tang San misunderstood her objection as concern over sharing the rabbit’s Martial Soul and continued encouraging her to eat it. She kicked him in the face and stormed away 18 19.

The incident soured their opinions of each other. By contrast, Xiao Wu believed Yu Fan when he claimed to dislike Soft Bone Rabbit meat, unaware that he had eaten it during the hunt 19.

Later, she questioned Yu Fan about his purple Anywhere Door. He withheld its function and warned her and Wang Sheng not to approach it. She agreed, then watched in surprise as he stepped through and vanished from her senses 20.

Appearance

• Human form: A small, young-looking girl with fair skin, rounded cheeks, and lingering baby fat 7 20.
• Eyes: Large and framed by long eyelashes, with a faint reddish tint 10 20.
• Clothing: Frequently wears skirts 10.

Personality

Xiao Wu is proud, competitive, and quick to act. She insists on settling Dorm Seven’s leadership through combat and dismisses Tang San’s warning about Yu Fan as cowardice. Even after her defeat, she openly challenges Yu Fan’s teasing and threatens to bite him 7 8.

Her mischievousness is paired with inexperience rather than an understanding of human conventions. She readily accepts Yu Fan’s justification for taking money from wealthy students and admires his distorted explanations of classical sayings 8 9.

She is curious and affectionate toward Yu Fan, repeatedly questioning his strength, activities, and possessions. Although easily upset by his evasiveness, she also forgives him readily when he reassures her. Her reaction to the roasted rabbit shows a much firmer boundary: she regards eating a Soft Bone Rabbit as eating her own kind 10 18 19 20.
