Xiao Wu

Biodata

Background / History

Xiao Wu lives with Ah Rou and their daughter, also named Xiao Wu, on the outskirts of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. The family watches the Sky Screen’s projections of their daughter’s future in human society. 11 16

Before the projected events, Xiao Wu had fought the soul beasts throughout the Star Dou Great Forest and intended to enter its core zone in search of stronger opponents. Ah Rou considers the plan dangerously reckless and repeatedly tries to persuade him to remain with their daughter instead. 11 17

When the Sky Screen shows his daughter defeating Tang San with her Soft Skill and becoming Dorm Seven’s boss, Xiao Wu proudly celebrates her victory. He later grows furious over Tang San sharing a blanket with her and worries that the human boy is deceiving her under the guise of becoming her brother. 11 12 17

As the projected future reveals the risks of his daughter’s transformation and entry into human society, Xiao Wu becomes increasingly concerned that she will be exposed and hunted for her spirit ring and spirit bone. He regrets that he was absent in the future period when he could have protected Xiao Wu and Ah Rou. 54 96

Personality

Xiao Wu is intensely battle-driven. Ah Rou describes him as unusually warlike for a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, noting that he wants to fight from morning until night and is determined to challenge stronger soul beasts. 11 17

He is fiercely protective of his family, especially his daughter. His anger toward Tang San and his alarm at Xiao Wu’s future exposure stem from his fear that she will be exploited or harmed by humans. 12 17 54

Despite his bluster, Xiao Wu is susceptible to Ah Rou’s guidance. She can halt his impulsive plans by redirecting his attention toward their daughter and their family’s future. 11 17
