Background / History

Xiao Wu arrives at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy as a work-study student and immediately challenges Dorm Seven’s boss system. She defeats Tang San through a highly flexible close-quarters neck lock, claiming the position of dorm boss. Chen Xuan avoids fighting her by offering to manage the dormitory’s errands instead. 3 4

She and Tang San later establish Dorm Seven’s standing by defeating Xiao Chenyu and the sixth-year students at the back mountain. When Yu Xiaogang later selects Chen Xuan as Tang San’s demonstration opponent, Xiao Wu openly objects to the unfair pairing. 8 16

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu joins Tang San, Chen Xuan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing in Zhao Wuji’s entrance test. She continues to fight as a close-range attacker and becomes one of the Shrek Seven Monsters. 25 31

During the Star Dou Great Forest expedition, the Titan Giant Ape takes Xiao Wu away while Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass fails to pull her free. She returns unharmed with increased soul power, claiming that the ape abandoned her after being frightened by a roar. Her spotless appearance and unexplained survival lead Zhao Wuji and Chen Xuan to question her account. 31 35 36

Chen Xuan eventually confronts Xiao Wu’s concealed nature. Xiao Wu confirms to Tang San that she is a spirit beast, fearing he will hate her for hiding it. Tang San instead reaffirms that she remains his sister regardless of her identity. 45

At the Light-Shadow Altar’s trial, Xiao Wu faces visions of soul-beast persecution and the loss of her mother. She resolves to stop running from her identity and face what comes openly. 45 46

Appearance

Xiao Wu is recognized by her long hair, described at different points as a scorpion braid or ponytail. 16 35

• Her ponytail is visibly disheveled after returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, though her clothes and shoes remain unnaturally clean. 35 36
• When she draws on her power of origin, a faint pink halo appears around her fingertips and the outline of translucent rabbit ears briefly manifests. 46

Personality

Xiao Wu is direct, competitive, and confident. She insists on following Dorm Seven’s challenge rules even when Tang San suggests skipping their fight, and she loses interest in Chen Xuan once he refuses to engage. 4

She is fiercely protective of Tang San, rushing into the training ground when he continues fighting Chen Xuan while injured. She also recognizes the flaws in Tang San’s control-focused tactics after he hesitates to save her from Zhao Wuji’s attack. 19 29

Her concealed identity leaves her fearful and evasive after the Star Dou Great Forest incident. The Light-Shadow Beast trial becomes a turning point: rather than continuing to hide, she chooses to confront her past and identity openly. 35 36 45 46
