Power Progression

Background / History

Family and Dongxing City Academy

Jiang Nannan grew up in Jiang Family Village with Su Yuehua and Jiang Wu. Su Yuehua raised the children alone by washing and mending clothes. Although Nannan became a Soul Master, the family remained poor because her mother's heart condition required continuing medication 1 4. Jiang Wu was a foundling whom Su Yuehua brought home and raised as her son 11.

Nannan accompanied Jiang Wu to his martial soul awakening and proudly announced his Innate Full Soul Power to their neighbors and mother. She then arranged for Cao Wei to help him obtain his First Soul Ring 1 2. Afterward, she helped him register at Dongxing City Academy, collect his monthly subsidy, and become familiar with the campus 3.

When Jiang Wu offered to teach her Soft Skill, she accepted without pressing him about its origin. She learned its basics over two months, then completed his enrollment and escorted him to Dormitory Seven 4.

Shrek Academy

At eleven, Nannan received a recommendation letter and met Shrek Academy's entry requirements. Before leaving, she entrusted their mother's care to Jiang Wu. By then, Wang Dong'er had cured Su Yuehua's heart condition with a Black Tortoise Divine Pill 11.

When she returned home during a Shrek holiday two years later, Jiang Wu noticed that she had become taller, more beautiful, and more self-assured. She spoke positively of Shrek's strong classmates and capable teachers 17.

Star Dou Great Forest

Nannan accompanied Jiang Wu and Wang Dong'er toward the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain their Third Soul Rings. She gathered information about local Soul Beast activity, assessed suitable ring ages, and guarded both of them during absorption 17 18.

The group subsequently found the unconscious Huo Yutong near a dead Wind Baboon. Nannan questioned her about entering the forest alone and warned that she could have died without their intervention 18 19. After meeting Bei Bei and Tang Ya, Nannan proposed traveling together. She later accepted Tang Ya's invitation to join the Tang Sect alongside Jiang Wu, Wang Dong'er, and Huo Yutong 20 21.

Upon reaching Shrek Academy, she waited through Jiang Wu and Wang Dong'er's entrance examinations, helped them complete enrollment, and led them to their dormitories 22 23 24.

Appearance

• Hair: Long hair worn in a high ponytail, both during her Dongxing City days and after returning from Shrek 3 17.
• Clothing: Wears a clean, plain-colored long dress during her homecoming 17.
• Bearing: After two years at Shrek, she is described as strikingly beautiful, poised, and at ease, having lost much of her earlier small-town reserve 17.

Personality

Nannan is affectionate and protective toward her family. She frequently holds Jiang Wu's hand, reassures him before his awakening, and offers to intervene if anyone bullies him at school. Her care also takes practical forms: arranging his first ring hunt, handling enrollment, shopping frugally, and encouraging their mother to eat more 1 2 3 4.

She is perceptive enough to recognize Jiang Wu's habit of looking left when concealing something. Nevertheless, she respects his privacy and declines to investigate the explanation he gives for learning Soft Skill 1 3 4. She also enjoys teasing him, particularly about Wang Dong'er's habit of calling him “Mom,” though she tries to restrain Dong'er's laughter when Huo Yutong is still recovering 11 19 20.
