Appearance
Dai Mingyue is a short adult man with the appearance and voice of a cute “little loli.” At his introduction, he wears a man’s suit despite looking like a girl; his stature is described as roughly Bai Ju’s height. 108
- Has an inherently feminine, melodious voice that can be mistaken for a woman’s. 174
- Insists that he is male and over twenty years old, particularly when others call him a girl or An Xinghe’s daughter. 109 110
- Frequently cross-dresses for missions, including as “Mingyue-chan” and as a dark-blue-Hanfu-wearing fortune teller. 119 169
- His feminine presentation readily attracts male NPCs, including Yang Wushuang, the Ghost King, and Zheng Yuan. 119 169
Personality
Dai Mingyue is socially inexperienced, emotional, and highly sensitive about his masculinity. Being called a woman or treated as An Xinghe’s daughter quickly provokes him, even when he cannot realistically win the resulting confrontation. 108 109 110
He is also pragmatic to the point of shamelessness when endangered. When kidnapped by Chang He, he initially attempts to redirect the threat toward his “President,” then immediately switches to calling An Xinghe “Dad” after recognizing his rescuer. 116 His loyalty to An Xinghe is genuine but often expressed through exaggerated flattery, dependence, and attempts to obtain equipment or Game Currency. 115 163 540
Mingyue is notably greedy and opportunistic. He accepts dangerous cross-dressing assignments for payment, runs fortune-telling scams for silver, and can become fixated on valuable items or even small profits. 166 168 540 574
