Background / History

Dong Qianqiu attended Tiandou Academy's Year One Class One alongside Lan Mengqin. Although she maintained the school image of an aloof “Goddess Qianqiu,” she privately feared that others would uncover her identity as a Soul Beast recultivating as a human. Fragmented memories of a blue-haired man in the sea also troubled her 19 21.

Lin Yuan's qin performance draws out her loneliness, and he later recognizes that she is hiding something. Though initially startled by his insight, she becomes noticeably more open and playful around him 21 22. After Lin Yuan comforts her over the loss of her parents, she resolves to become stronger enough to seek their traces herself 28.

During the Tiandou Academy exchange, she and Lan Mengqin face Lin Yuan together. Their coordinated ice-based assault is overcome, forcing Dong Qianqiu to shift from trying to win to preserving Tiandou Academy's dignity in defeat 22 23.

She later accompanies Lan Mengqin during Lan Bing's bloodline crisis, supports her friend after Lin Yuan stabilizes Lan Bing, and battles beside her against the Ice Jade Scorpions threatening the Ice Clan 26 114. She later joins the Seven Sacred Abyss assessment with Lan Mengqin and Yuanen Huihui 192.

Appearance

Dong Qianqiu is a slender girl with deep-blue hair and deep-blue, sea-like eyes. She commonly wears white and is noted for an elegant, composed bearing even as a child 21.

• Long, dark-blue hair, often worn loose; later tied into a high ponytail for an assessment 21 161
• Deep-blue eyes described as profound as the sea 21
• White dresses and shirts are a recurring part of her attire 21 109 161
• Fair, porcelain-doll-like complexion 109
• Her appearance and martial soul reflect her oceanic Demon Soul Great White Shark origin 21 23

Personality

Dong Qianqiu initially presents herself as calm, distant, and difficult to approach. To deter unwanted attention, she declares that only someone capable of defeating her has the right to come near her 22. Her guarded nature stems from the isolation and fear attached to concealing her Soul Beast identity 21.

Around trusted people, especially Lan Mengqin and Lin Yuan, she is much more expressive. She teases Lin Yuan with improvised ice-wheel transport, quietly comforts Lan Mengqin, and becomes flustered when Lin Yuan bluntly exposes her attempts to gain his attention 26 27 161. She is also thoughtful: rather than intrude on Shrek students welcoming Lin Yuan back, she tells Lan Mengqin to let them express the emotions they have held in for years 156.

• Retains the instinctive strength of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast despite her human form 23

• Detonates the spears and surrounding snowflakes after impact 114
• Was ineffective against the Ice Jade Scorpions during Lan Bing's rampage 114

Ancient Martial Arts

• Uses irregular, asynchronous footwork to approach opponents 23
• Concentrates Soul Power into her fist for melee strikes 23
• Her hand-to-hand assault was anticipated and countered by Lin Yuan during their exchange match 23

Relationships

• Lin Yuan — Initially intrigued and disappointed to learn he is not a Tiandou Academy student; his understanding of her hidden fears and later comfort help her open up. Their interactions become teasing and emotionally charged, though Lin Yuan frequently fails to respond tactfully 21 22 28 109 161.
• Lan Mengqin — Closest companion and combat partner. They combine Blizzard and Ice Element Control in battle, and Dong Qianqiu supports her through Lan Bing's illness and crisis 22 26 114.
• Gu Yuena / Nana — Her teacher and a trusted adult present during major events involving the Ice Clan and Lin Yuan 109 114.
