Personality

Su Su is confident, outspoken, and quick to take charge. When assigned to a scouting party, she immediately declares herself captain; later, she refuses Yu Yuan's attempt to stop her from searching for the missing Ding Shi, stating that she is informing him rather than asking permission 67 79.

She is notably chatty, optimistic, and drawn to other people's business. Her survival knowledge and practical observations make her useful in the field, while her tendency to gossip frequently lightens otherwise grim situations 74 76 149.

Despite her playful side, Su Su is resourceful and determined. As Education Commissioner, she develops measures against examination-question leaks, protects registered scholars, and works with Ding Shi on unconventional solutions to administrative and financial problems 139 145 153 156.
