Background

Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit who has taken human form. Though she has lived for many years, most of that time was spent in the forest, leaving her unfamiliar with the dangers and social manipulation of the human world. She conceals her true nature because a hundred-thousand-year soul beast represents an exceptionally valuable target to Soul Masters. 280 439 440

Before registering at Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu was abducted near Nuoding City by Shangguan Li and Qiao Di. Qiao Di implanted a transparent mass of energy into her body at Shangguan Li’s command; the energy left Xiao Wu unconscious and required her to sleep while she digested it. Shangguan Li intended to use Xiao Wu, Tang San’s closest companion, as an unwitting informant. 425

Xiao Wu awoke in the forest three days later with no understanding of how she got there. She hurried to Nuoding Academy to register, unaware that she was being monitored through a Soul Power-activated mirror and that the implanted energy could influence her actions. Qiao Di notes that controlling her is difficult because of the “destiny power” surrounding her. 425

Appearance

Xiao Wu appears as a young girl with an unmistakable rabbit-themed appearance that immediately identifies her to those familiar with her.

• Long black scorpion-tail braid extending past her hips. 281 427
• Large crimson-red eyes. 281 427
• Rabbit-ear accessories worn atop her head. 281 427
• Carries a Nuoding Academy school uniform when first entering Dorm Seven. 281 427

Personality

Xiao Wu is cheerful, playful, and highly competitive. She enjoys joining in on exciting events and readily challenges Tang San for Dorm Seven’s leadership, defeating him to become dorm head. 281 427

Her kindness makes her unusually trusting of Li Pei. Xiao Wu considers Li Pei a close friend and repeatedly puts Li Pei’s feelings before her own, even promising not to compete with her for Tang San’s affection. This loyalty leaves Xiao Wu vulnerable to Li Pei’s calculated guilt-tripping and staged displays of distress. 20 314 441

Despite her naivety in human society, Xiao Wu is courageous and protective. During an alley attack, she uses her Spirit Skill against a stronger Soul Elder and tries to create an opportunity for Li Pei to escape, even after being injured. 141 440
