Background / History
Nuwa and her elder brother Fu Xi were gestated within a placenta formed by the converging Dao resonance of Buzhou Mountain. Both were born from Primordial Yin-Yang Qi: Fu Xi from the rising yang qi and Nuwa from the sinking yin qi. 3
She accepted the newly incarnated Fang Xun as her first disciple, granting him the Dao name Xuan Su. Although initially uncertain about accepting a disciple, she embraced the karmic bond with evident joy. 4
Fang Xun's first figurine gift resonated with her Creation Dao Marks and became her Opportunity for Enlightenment. Nuwa entered seclusion and emerged as the First Great Luo of the Primordial Wilderness, with her existence established across the River of Time. 7 9
As Fang Xun's master, Nuwa created the Xuan Su Scripture, deliberately designing it to lead directly toward Great Luo without forcing Fang Xun onto her own Way of Creation. 9 She later lectured to the Innate Divine Saints on the Great Luo realm, helping Grand Pure Daoist find the direction for his own breakthrough. 12
During her travels with Fang Xun, Nuwa pursued further insight into Creation. Her examination of the Witch Clan's vitality and bloodline, assisted by Houtu's revelation of part of her past, clarified the possibility of creating life. 35
Nuwa ultimately created the Human Race before the third Purple Firmament Palace sermon. Using Innate Five-Colored Breathing Soil, refined spiritual materials, Fang Xun's origin, her own creative power, and Primordial Spirits, she formed 129,600 humans in Pangu's Innate Dao Body. The Heavenly Dao rewarded her with immense Merit, and the humans recognized her as their Holy Mother. 38
After Hongjun's Dao Integration, Nuwa received the Heavenly Dao Myriad Phenomena Auspicious Cloud and numerous spiritual treasures. The cloud gave her exceptional access to Heavenly Dao authority, but she recognized that it could also expose her thoughts to the Heavenly Dao. 46 47
Her continued study of the Innate Five Primes eventually led her beyond Great Luo. She forged the Saint Mother Golden Body from Primordial Violet Qi, Creation Merit, and the Heavenly Dao Myriad Phenomena Auspicious Cloud, then later attained Wuji by reverse-proving Limitlessness through Creation. 135 393
Appearance
Nuwa's primordial form combines human and serpentine traits. Her appearance is consistently associated with sanctity, Creation Dao resonance, and seven-colored radiance. 3 9 246
- Human torso and serpent tail in her early Innate Divine Saint form. 3
- Described after attaining Great Luo as having a snake-headed human body. 9
- Wears Seven-Colored Cloud Brocade or a seven-colored rainbow robe. 9 246

- The Saint Mother Golden Body appears as a small golden, snake-headed, human-bodied sacred statue surrounded by white and purple qi. 152
Personality
Nuwa is deeply protective of Fang Xun. She shelters his origin from scrutiny, reacts immediately when his condition becomes abnormal, and is willing to confront Dao Ancestor Hongjun over threats to his existence. 7 11 71 101
Her care is not solemn at all times. She takes visible delight in Fang Xun's figurine, enjoys his admiration of her strength, and can be teasingly strict with him. 7 25 120
As the Holy Mother of humanity, she values life, vitality, and self-reliance. Her oath for the Human Race expresses her hope that they remain eternal, unyielding, and capable of strengthening themselves. 38
Nuwa can also be openly domineering when her disciple or the Primordial Wilderness is threatened. She challenges multiple saints at once and refuses to yield control of crucial matters to weaker or biased claimants. 203 247
