Personality

Initially, Pufferfish Douluo is a dutiful but passive subordinate who focuses on carrying out orders and combat assignments. Su Changge’s criticism makes him recognize that Qian Renxue had shouldered the faction’s strategic burdens alone, prompting him to become more proactive in supporting her. 23

He is serious and readily irritated by Su Changge’s inappropriate jokes, but gradually comes to view Su as a capable “young friend” and a valuable asset to Qian Renxue. 22 23 Despite his interest in Dugu Bo’s misfortune and the treasures at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he does not attempt to seize Su Changge’s gains because of Su’s value to Qian Renxue. 26
