Appearance

Mo Ling'er is a graceful young woman with refined features, long black hair, and a striking presence enhanced by witch-like attire. Her bearing can shift sharply between the playful manner of a sheltered young woman and the imposing aura expected of a Witch Venerable. 179 240 241

• Often wears garments associated with Great Shang or Guixu witchcraft. 240 241
• Uses black runes that spread across her skin when activating her arts. 180
• Her Dharma Appearance manifests as an Ink Phoenix. 251
• Appeared publicly in yellow silk gauze with a longsword during the beast-hunting operation. 251

Personality

Mo Ling'er is willful, proud, and highly possessive, particularly where Zhao Rui is concerned. She initially pursues him across vast distances, attempts to bind him through the Phoenix Hairpin witchcraft, and later publicly asserts herself as his wife. 178 181 248

Her confidence is matched by a volatile temper. When Zhao Rui evades her in East Japan, she damages buildings to force him out; when frustrated or jealous, she acts impulsively rather than concealing her feelings. 179 253

Despite her domineering behavior, she is emotionally attached to her family and capable of protecting others. She returns to Great Shang after escaping Guixu, worries about Zhao Rui's safety, and saves Miao Miaomiao from a Golden Winged Chihu despite their rivalry. 221 241 252
