Background / History

Gu Yuan sent Xun'er to the Xiao Clan when she was four years old, partly to keep her away from the Ancient Clan's internal power struggles. There, she grew close to Xiao Jin through their shared problems with damaged meridians; except for Xiao Jin's training journeys, they were almost inseparable for twelve years. 56 186 241

Xiao Jin supported her cultivation from an early stage. He gave her the eighth-grade Exotic Flame Fusion Pill to aid refinement of her Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Seed, then later entrusted her with the ninth-grade Emperor Blood Guidance Pill. The latter purified her Dou Emperor Bloodline, improved her cultivation speed until Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and prepared her body to refine the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. 2 21

After Gu Yuan learned of Xiao Jin's talent and the pills Xun'er had received, he permitted her to remain with Xiao Jin until the latter reached Dou Zun. Xun'er accepted Xiao Jin's impulsive description of the Emperor Blood Guidance Pill as a “betrothal gift,” and her father eventually approved their relationship. 21 32 57

Appearance

Xun'er is repeatedly described as a graceful, lotus-like young woman with an ethereal bearing. Her appearance draws widespread admiration among the Xiao Clan and later among cultivators in the Central Plains. 10 93 567

• Fair, jade-like hands and clear, bright eyes. 11 442
• A calm, elegant temperament compared to a green lotus or an orchid in an empty valley. 10 241
• Golden flames can be seen flickering in her eyes after refining the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. 241
• Bears a seven-colored Ancient Clan Mark following her Coming-of-Age Ceremony. 442 443

Personality

Xun'er is affectionate and direct with Xiao Jin, though she can become shy around elders and in public. She initially uses displays of intimacy partly to deter the Xiao Clan youths pursuing her, but her feelings for Xiao Jin are sincere and longstanding. 11 57 77

Despite her gentle demeanor, she is highly perceptive and politically capable. She investigated Ya Fei's sudden improvement in cultivation, recognized the danger posed by the Soul Clan's infiltration, and personally arranged for Ling Ying to deliver an urgent warning to Gu Yuan. 4 56 57

Within the Ancient Clan, Xun'er is resolute rather than submissive. She openly condemns the Elder Council's stagnation and Gu Yuan's concessions, intending to reform or remove the Council once she possesses sufficient power. 241 381

She prefers quiet surroundings to crowded social occasions and rebuilt an Ancient Realm courtyard to match Xiao Jin's former home in Wutan City. 302 546
