Background / History

Xia Xue is an orphan who survived alone in a secluded mountain valley from the age of five. The valley's shelter and a pool of silver fish enabled her to endure until she encountered her master. Her master taught her alchemy, then left her to train independently; she must become a fifth-tier alchemist before seeking him in the Great Xia Dynasty's capital. At seventeen, she remains a first-tier alchemist. 9 10 13

She lives near Greenwood Town in the eastern Xia Dynasty, gathering herbs from the dangerous surrounding forest and refining pills. Her alchemical status makes her widely respected in town, where she sells pills to the Mad Blade Martial Hall and trades with the Hundred Herb Pavilion. 8 9 10 11

Xia Xue meets Chu Xiaotian while fighting a pack of giant wolves. After he saves her, she gives him Recovery Pills and later explains the Moon-Refining Continent's cultivation system. Despite initially hesitating to house a man in her isolated home, she permits him to stay under the condition that he not enter her room without permission. 7 8 9

Personality

Xia Xue is independent, patient, and practical, shaped by years of surviving alone in the mountains. She calmly manages unwanted attention in Greenwood Town and recognizes when direct confrontation would be dangerous. 9 11
