Background

Before entering human society, Xiao Wu lived in the Star Dou Forest as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. She took human form to experience human life, seek the meaning of her existence, and pursue revenge, while attempting to conceal her identity through her vulnerable growth period. 9

Xiao Wu initially became close to Tang San at Notting Academy because he was unusually composed, talented, and protective toward her. Lin Yi's Heart Voice revealed that her future involved sacrificing her life and soul for Tang San, causing her to reject that predetermined fate and seek a way to change it. 7 9

Knowing that Lin Yi possessed information about her identity and future, Xiao Wu attached herself to him despite his repeated attempts to distance himself. She gradually concluded that he did not intend to expose or exploit her, especially after learning that he sought a means to conceal her Soul Beast aura. 7 23

During the school break, Xiao Wu secretly followed Lin Yi into the Soul Hunting Forest to observe his actions and learn more of his secrets. After witnessing the power of his Sun God Spear, she became further convinced that remaining near him could help her alter her fate. 21 22

Lin Yuan, Lin Yi's father, confronted Xiao Wu over her motivations for following Lin Yi. He gave her a Breath-Hiding Stone, enabling her to mask her aura even from a Title Douluo unless closely examined, and asked her to motivate and supervise Lin Yi. 33

After refusing Tang San's invitation to Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu remained with Lin Yi and later joined Skywater Academy. Her transformed-Soul-Beast identity was eventually revealed to her Skywater teammates, who accepted her as one of their own. 31 74

Appearance

Over the years, Xiao Wu grows from a child with a baby-faced appearance into a spirited young girl. Her long hair is typically worn in a scorpion braid. 30 164

• Long hair tied in a neat scorpion braid. 102 164
• Lively, heroic bearing. 82 164
• Wears Skywater Academy's uniform during competitions. 82 102

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively, playful, energetic, and fond of teasing Lin Yi, but her cheerful exterior conceals anxiety over being discovered as a transformed Soul Beast. 50 74 113

Her discovery of her supposed sacrificial fate makes her fiercely independent. Rather than accept death for Tang San, she resolves to control her own destiny, pursues the means to protect herself, and chooses her own companions. 9 31 33

She is also protective and loyal. She shields Lin Yi from Dugu Yan's confrontation, intercepts an attack aimed at Shui Bing'er, and remains committed to helping Lin Yi after reassessing her reasons for following him. 43 53 54

Xiao Wu can become visibly possessive of Lin Yi's attention. She is uncomfortable when Huo Wu walks closely beside him, and reacts poorly when he privately compares other women to the Skywater Academy girls. 113 260
