Appearance

Exusiai is a red-haired Sankta with bright orange eyes, a glowing halo, and wings that can appear or disappear. Her usual appearance is youthful and energetic; she favors tights and hooded clothing, partly because her halo prevents her from comfortably wearing hats. 15 36 135

• Short wine-red hair and clear orange eyes. 135
• A removable halo that shines brightly enough to disturb Texas's sleep. 36 76
• Cannot wear hats without becoming dizzy, despite loving them; she often buys hooded outfits instead. 36
• Described as having an oval face, neat features, and a slender build. 95
• Temporarily regresses into a childlike form after taking the wrong medicine. 132 133

Personality

Exusiai is energetic, outgoing, and exceptionally quick to make friends. She can entertain herself in almost any situation, whether by playing games, shopping, chasing Chen An, or turning a minor disagreement into a dramatic event. 1 7 86

She is intensely competitive, especially in games. Although she repeatedly loses to Chen An, she refuses to give up, often declaring rematches until her frustration boils over. Her confidence frequently exceeds her actual romantic experience: she presents herself as a love expert despite Texas noting that her knowledge comes from games, novels, and comics. 1 5 88

Behind her teasing and impulsiveness, Exusiai is considerate of Chen An and her companions. She worries when Chen An disappears or is endangered, follows him out of Lungmen to protect him, and gradually becomes more careful with vulnerable people after witnessing the hardships faced by the Infected. 35 57 94 120

Story Role

Lungmen and Penguin Logistics

Exusiai begins as Chen An and Skadi's lively neighbor in Lungmen, where she lives with Texas and repeatedly invites Chen An to play games. Her inability to beat him leads to regular tantrums and playful hostility. 1

She and Texas undertake an escort mission to deliver Rope to Chernobog, where they reunite with Croissant. During this period, Exusiai begins showing uncertainty when others suggest she has feelings for Chen An. 6 9

Joining Chen An's Journey

When Chen An leaves Lungmen to avoid Nian and Dusk, Exusiai and Texas follow him through the wilderness. Chen An's gift of two Guardian Guns gives Exusiai a practical reason to remain, though she also insists that he needs her protection. 35

In Siesta, Exusiai becomes part of the group's daily conflicts, beach outings, games, and encounters with Ceylon and Schwarz. She openly worries that Chen An accommodates everyone else without expressing preferences of his own. 37 40 57

Acknowledging Her Feelings

Exusiai's diary reveals her changing view of Chen An: she initially found his gaming skill unbearable, but later respected his effect on the Lower District. 62

After becoming ill during the journey, she realizes that Chen An's care for her has made her fall in love with him. Even afterward, she struggles to reconcile those feelings with her friendship with Skadi. 63

Work and Financial Independence

In Londinium, Exusiai seeks employment to save money for her future dowry. After several failed applications with Skadi, she is hired as a clerk at Valerie, a cake shop. 84 85

Her work with Mousse also reflects her growth in restraint: after seeing how poverty and illness affect people, she becomes more careful about speaking thoughtlessly around patients. 94

Little Exusiai

Exusiai later regresses into a childlike body after taking the wrong medicine. She remains mentally herself and deeply resents being treated as a child, especially when Chen An and Specter tease or strike her on the head. 132 147

As Little Exusiai, she continues playing games with Chen An, keeping a written “grudge list” over his antics and openly displaying her insecurity about no longer appearing mature beside him. 135 144
