Background

Murong was conscious while still in her mother’s womb. Five months before her expected birth, masked attackers massacred the Murong family; Ghost Mask reported that all 532 family members had died. Born prematurely as a Demigod, Murong escaped after crushing the pursuing attackers, then vowed to hunt down everyone connected to her family’s destruction. Her first recorded killing spree claimed eighteen lives. 25

By age three, Murong had encountered both kindness and exploitation while learning how people behaved. Her investigation led her to the Qingyun Sect and the Three-Color Mask Gang. After discovering that the sect’s Grand Elder used heretical cultivation and collected high-cultivation corpses, she annihilated the sect and fell into demonic ways. After overcoming that influence, she became known across the continent as the Demon Slayer. 26 27

Murong later recalled receiving a puppet from her Master at age five and becoming the leader of a small faction at age eight. She subsequently led Piaoxue, gaining a reputation for personally taking the front line during its rapid expansion. 537 687

Appearance

Murong is consistently presented as graceful and imposing, with an aura that causes others to instinctively fear or defer to her. She most often wears a phoenix robe, though she also changes its style and color to match Zhou Hao’s clothing. 168 171 374

• Wears a phoenix robe that automatically adjusts to its wearer and can change styles. 171
• Can manifest ice mirrors and use makeup to alter another person’s appearance. 171 172

Personality

Murong is extraordinarily self-confident and openly aware of her own talent, strength, and authority. She can be blunt about killing when she considers it necessary, and her early life made her ruthless toward those she judges irredeemable. Even so, she honors promises, protects those under her care, and can distinguish between people who deserve mercy and those who do not. 22 25 618 885

Around Zhou Hao and their family, Murong is playful, teasing, and increasingly affectionate. She enjoys provoking Zhou Hao, collecting embarrassing memories of him, and winning their competitions, but she also patiently addresses his psychological barriers and guides his cultivation. 22 55 525 630

As a ruler, Murong is practical and strategic. She recruits promising talent through gifts and opportunities, negotiates from a position of strength, and delegates major responsibilities only to people she trusts. 37 583 824
