Background / History

Chen Xing grew up with her younger brother, Chen Kong. After a Beast Tide caused their parents’ disappearance, she became responsible for keeping them alive, leaving Chen Kong behind to search for food despite being a child herself. This catastrophe transformed her from a carefree girl into a resilient and determined survivor. 26 30

During the post-disaster period, she encountered Tiandao Siming near a supermarket while seeking supplies. Tiandao helped her, leaving a lasting impression that drove her to seek him out again. After failing to find him, she joined the Ember Organization and eventually reunited with him there. His later indifference became a central source of her desire to surpass herself and earn his recognition. 26 243

Chen Xing entered the Final Assessment alongside Chen Kong and Yagami Rin. She repeatedly confronted the Rank 2 Earth Dragon Lizard despite being injured, while encouraging her teammates to continue fighting. 10 11

Years later, she investigated suspected sentient Star Beasts on Caroline’s behalf. She uncovered artificially modified “defective products” and traveled to Steam Capital to continue the inquiry. 124 169

Personality

Chen Xing is proud, stubborn, and intensely competitive, particularly where Tiandao is concerned. She refuses to retreat from danger or accept being insignificant to him, turning their early connection into a fierce rivalry. 2 26 27

Her harshness toward Chen Kong stems from protectiveness rather than indifference. She believes that one must first possess the strength to survive before risking oneself for justice, a conviction shaped by the responsibility she assumed after their family’s collapse. 30 163

Her determination can become obsessive. During her struggle with the Demonic Blade, she was prepared to risk losing herself if it meant becoming unforgettable to Tiandao. 170 171
