Background

Jiang Zhu enrolled at Blue Tyrant Academy while young and struggled to fit in because of her soft, timid personality. After encountering Mo Li—another student younger than herself—she gathered the courage to ask him to be her friend. The two quickly became close. 4

She was Mo Li's first friend at the academy. Although she initially believed him to be the child of an academy teacher, she later learned his true status from senior students. Frightened that she might lead him astray, she avoided him for several days until Liu Erlong reassured her; afterward, Jiang Zhu willingly resumed and deepened their friendship. 4

Her talent made her a prospective seed player for Blue Tyrant Academy in the Spirit Master Tournament. 4

Personality
