Background

Identity and early activity

Xiao Bai is the magical-girl identity assumed by Fang Ming. His transformed appearance differs so greatly from his original body that the Federation cannot connect the two, leaving Xiao Bai effectively untraceable despite the Sky Screen’s exposure of other magical girls. She is also the first known magical girl not contracted with Nino. 11 26 58

She initially operates alone in Rock City, treating it as her territory and attempting to drive Yu Muqiu, Chen Xiaoxia, and Murong Xiaochun away from supernatural dangers. Her hostility is rooted in protectiveness: she rescues Xiao Chun from the Speed Demon and repeatedly warns the others that fighting Demons can cost them their lives. 12 23 24

Xiao Bai rejects both government oversight and Yu Muqiu’s invitation to join the group, insisting that she does not need help. This isolation also conceals her connection to Fang Ming, which becomes increasingly difficult to maintain after Xiao Chun discovers recordings in Fang Ming’s room featuring Xiao Bai’s voice. 14 93 110

Although Fang Ming’s identity remains hidden for much of the story, Xiao Bai later reveals her male original body to an Aurora Society operative. Yu Muqiu eventually learns enough to confront Xiao Bai about her true identity and accepts her regardless. 249 408

From lone defender to mentor

During the Songstress Witch battle, Xiao Bai burns knowledge and memories to raise her power to the Witch’s level, protecting the incapacitated magical girls at severe personal cost. Her willingness to accept Yu Muqiu’s help afterward marks her first open acknowledgment of another magical girl’s strength. 49 52

She gradually accepts the group as friends, though she continues to conceal her identity and responds to emotional closeness with evasion or bluntness. Her concern shifts from preventing the girls from fighting to ensuring that they can survive the fights they will inevitably face. 97 113

Fearing that Yu Muqiu, Chen Xiaoxia, and Xiao Chun will outgrow her after unlocking Shining Form, Xiao Bai begins actively training and manipulating circumstances to force their breakthroughs. She later pursues Erosion Form for the same reason: she refuses to remain behind while those she considers her juniors face Demons. 70 107 183

After gaining Magic Source, Xiao Bai takes on a more formal leadership role. She directs specialized training, establishes the rule that opponents manageable in normal form should not be met with Shining Form, and helps construct a magic network capable of detecting major magical fluctuations in the Americas District. 271 346 359

Xiao Bai’s emotional development continues alongside her increased power. Magic Source makes her more sensitive to emotion than she was previously, and she gradually becomes more open in her interactions with the other magical girls, even while retaining her habitual reserve. 409

Appearance

Xiao Bai’s transformed form is a silver-haired magical girl with crimson eyes, a scythe, and chains that follow her movements. Her imposing battle image contrasts with a later physical regression caused by her unstable Erosion Form conversion. 14 37 235

• Long silver-white hair, often worn loose. 23
• Crimson eyes. 37
• Carries a scythe with a chain attached to it. 14
• Common casual outfit: coat, shorts, knee-high boots, and pantyhose; she often uses magic to alter her Magical Armament into ordinary clothing. 106
• After sacrificing Erosion Form, her body regresses to a childlike appearance, approximately twelve years old, while her power rises sharply. 235 236
• Her standard Magical Girl Form is associated with a dark, military-style outfit, chains, and a scythe that severs lingering demonic aura. 427
• In Demon Form, black-red demonic markings spread across her body and armament as her magical power takes on a negative attribute. 573 593
• Shining Form 2 changes her armament into pure white attire and manifests silver chain-wings behind her; this form makes her appear angelic despite the severity of her usual demeanor. 600

Personality

Xiao Bai is cold-spoken, guarded, and intensely pragmatic. She routinely calls Chen Xiaoxia an idiot, dismisses emotional appeals, and prefers decisive action over prolonged discussion. In battle, this demeanor becomes intimidating confidence; outside battle, it often masks embarrassment or uncertainty about intimacy. 23 85 110

Her harshness is fundamentally protective. She believes inexperienced magical girls should not be allowed near Demons, but eventually accepts that she cannot stop them from fighting forever. Rather than abandon them, she becomes a trainer and strategist determined to make them stronger. 24 113

Xiao Bai is also deeply competitive. She is distressed by the prospect of falling behind magical girls who possess Shining Form, not merely from pride, but because she views herself as the adult who should stand at the front and protect them. This leads her to accept extreme risks, including Demonization, memory loss, and possible death. 139 183

Though she still habitually carries problems alone, Xiao Bai becomes increasingly willing to trust her companions. She accepts Yu Muqiu’s unconditional acceptance of her identity, apologizes after mishandling Chen Xiaoxia’s dangerous new technique, and works with the group rather than treating them solely as people to protect. 258 408

Her protectiveness remains central even after she becomes one of the strongest magical girls. Before facing the Demon King, she personally visits allies to distribute gifts and say farewell, while entrusting the Federation World’s defense to Yu Muqiu. 704

Abilities & Skills

Chain Magic

Xiao Bai’s signature magic manifests chains in enormous numbers. They serve as restraints, weapons, sensors, shields, and terrain-control tools.

• Binds enemies and can flood a battlefield with projectile-like chains. 23
• Sets hidden chain traps to punish predictable attacks. 23
• Detects invisible water tentacles through disturbances transmitted along her chains. 32
• Forms defensive barriers capable of blocking Robert’s laser fire. 100
• Searches large areas by spreading chains through rooms and corners. 93
• Can shape chains into constructs, including a silver flying dragon. 70
• Her chains can immediately restrain opponents that Aurora and Luna struggle to handle. 239
• Uses Chains to seal locations, destroy surveillance equipment, and control the battlefield before exposing her original form when necessary. 248 250
• Her Chains can resonate with Yu Muqiu’s copied Chain Magic, increasing their combined power by an entire tier. 620

Scythe Combat

Xiao Bai uses a scythe alongside her chains, favoring mobility, timing, and precision over direct contests of strength.

• She avoids clashing head-on with Chen Xiaoxia, whose Enhancement Magic gives her superior raw physical power. 23
• Her scythe can sever a Shining Form Magical Armament. 95
• She decapitated a regenerating wolf Demon before disintegrating it with Chains. 196
• She defeated Song Niandong’s Doll, Mary, by cutting it into four pieces. 133
• Her exclusive Severing magic can cut through demonic aura and is a defining part of her combat style. 427
• She uses her scythe and Chains in coordination with Xiao Chun to contain the Pain Demon without empowering it through further pain. 610

Progress Conversion

Fang Ming’s progress-bar system allows Xiao Bai to convert skill progress into magical power rather than relying solely on natural magical growth.

• Skill progress from mundane abilities can be converted into Magic progress. 11
• The conversion enabled Xiao Bai’s abnormal early rise to Magic LV3. 11
• She later sacrifices Erosion Form LV3 as high-value experience material for her Magic skill. 235
• The overload caused by this sacrifice transforms her former Magic skill into Magic Source rather than merely increasing its level. 236

Erosion Form and Demon Power

Erosion Form draws on Demon and Mutant Magic to enhance Xiao Bai, but risks mental erosion, memory loss, and irreversible Demonization.

• An incomplete version first manifests in a dream scenario, marked by red facial patterns and rage. 99
• The Sky Screen version of Xiao Bai becomes fully demonized under despair and Nicole’s corruption, though she retains enough will to resist harming her allies. 160
• In reality, Xiao Bai activates a stabilized form using purified Mutant Magic and a Hope Magic Array. 233 234
• She ultimately sacrifices Erosion Form for magical growth, losing immediate access to it. 235 236

Although Erosion Form itself is sacrificed, Magic Source preserves a separate Demon Form. Xiao Bai later becomes able to use Demon Form without immediate erosion or other apparent side effects. 236 593

• Can employ Demon-derived powers, including abilities associated with the Calamity Demon and Sloth Demon, while in Demon Form. 592
• Demon Form changes the attribute of her magic power and offers an amplification of more than twice her base strength. 351
• Her demonized consciousness, Magic White, can emerge independently under extreme circumstances. Magic White is hostile toward Demons, kills the Forgetting Demon, and absorbs its Nightmare Seed. 637
• Xiao Bai can use demon power to help others stabilize or combine otherwise rampaging Demon magic, as demonstrated during Reiko’s training. 652

Magic Source

After Erosion Form’s conversion overloads her Magic skill, Xiao Bai gains Magic Source LV3, a more fundamental magical framework. 236

• Magical Girl Form LV3 is active. 236
• Demon Form LV3 exists and later becomes safely usable in combat. 236 593
• Shining Form initially appears dormant, but Xiao Bai later awakens it directly at LV3; the unidentified ??? Form remains listed at LV0 after that awakening. 236 351
• Xiao Bai subsequently reaches Shining Form 2, which grants white armament and chain-wings. 600
• Gains Connection Magic LV3, Separation Magic LV3, Barrier Magic LV2, and abilities including Suggestion, Disguise, Illusion, and Telepathy. 236
• Demonstrates improved movement by teleporting away from Chen Xiaoxia. 236
• Magic Source allows Xiao Bai’s magical girl, Demon, and Magical Creature-derived powers to coexist within a single framework. 236 341 377
• By the time she prepares to challenge the Demon King, Xiao Bai raises Magic Source to LV5. 704

Shining Form

Xiao Bai initially cannot awaken Shining Form because her reliance on her progress-conversion ability gives her a rational escape from the desperation and conviction normally needed to trigger it. 350

• She asks Stella to seal memories of her cheat and Demon Form so that a desperate battle scenario can force an awakening. 350 351
• In the scripted dream battle against the War Demon, Xiao Bai awakens Shining Form and regains her sealed memories. 351
• Shining Form begins at LV3, multiplying the power of her Magical Girl Form by more than three times. 351
• Xiao Bai later attains Shining Form 2 in an Illusory World, gaining a white uniform and six chain-wings. 600
• Her later transformations combine the powers of Shining, Hope, and Demon magic into a more complex winged state. 662

Magical Creature Transformation and Contracts

By learning a magic-power circulation method from Kelly, Xiao Bai discovers that she can become a Magical Creature as well as a Magical Girl. 378

• Transforms into a curled-horn sheep plushie Magical Creature. 378
• Gains the capacity to contract with Magical Girls, with three empty contract-skill slots appearing in her skill panel. 378
• Recognizes that Magical Girls, Magical Creatures, and Demons share a deeper common origin, a conclusion supported by the emergence of Magic Source. 377 378

Tactical and Practical Skills

• Uses superior combat experience to compensate for weaker raw power and exploit opponents’ habits. 23 139
• Possesses Level Two Acting, which she uses while staging controlled crises for Chen Xiaoxia’s Shining Form awakening. 107
• Uses cooking to de-escalate an encounter with the food-motivated White Tiger Girl. 220
• Works as a teacher and tutor without using suggestion magic to force cooperation. 82 220
• Establishes training principles intended to prevent the magical girls from becoming dependent on Shining Form. 359
• Organizes specialized Dream World training against opponents such as the Songstress Demon and Chihiro to expose the group to higher-rank combat. 346 347
• Helps complete a magic network that monitors significant magical power fluctuations across the Americas District. 271

Yu Muqiu later pulls Xiao Bai out of despair during her Demonization crisis, accepts her regardless of her true identity, and can resonate with Xiao Bai’s Chain Magic. 24 97 162 408 620
• Chen Xiaoxia — Rivalrous allies. Xiao Bai frequently defeats and mocks Xiaoxia, yet shields her during the Robert battle and worries when she disappears.

• Kelly — Advisor on Mutant Magic and Erosion Form; she warns Xiao Bai about Demonization while assisting with the controlled activation procedure. Kelly later teaches Xiao Bai the circulation method that reveals her Magical Creature form and guides her advanced Dream World training. 183 235 346 378
• Aurora and Luna — Americas District allies whom Xiao Bai treats more as capable equals than as juniors. She mentors Luna and intervenes when their opponents exceed what training can safely handle; she later trains alongside Aurora against high-rank Dream World opponents. 196 220 239 346
• Xilisi — Xiao Bai risks controlled Erosion Form to trace and save Xilisi from Aurora Society influence, regarding her survival as worth the danger of Demonization. 233 234
