Background

Murong Xiaochun was born into a scholarly family and excelled academically. The pressure of her family’s concern over even minor drops in her grades left her stifled; she would go out at night to clear her head and feed stray animals. 12 40

She met Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia while they searched for Nightmare Seeds. After being caught in a Nightmare Barrier and witnessing their battle against Demons, she learned that she possessed the qualities required for Nino’s contract: kindness, magical aptitude, and a desire to help others. She voluntarily became a Magical Girl to aid them. 9 12

Becoming a Magical Girl gave Xiao Chun a sense that she was finally “alive,” and her personality changed markedly within less than a month. Though she initially joined to help her friends through their difficulties, she came to value fighting alongside them and refused to accept being left behind. 40 113

Appearance

In her standard Magical Girl form, Xiao Chun wears a green gauze dress and a green floral circlet. She wields a longbow resembling a tree branch and is associated with light green magic. 4 12

• Emerald-green eyes 113
• Bow-and-arrow emblem on the back of her right hand 15
• Green transformation space associated with vibrant life 15
• Shining Form attire decorated with crystalline green stardust, vine-like ornaments, luminous wings, and white lilies growing along her enlarged longbow 71

Personality

Xiao Chun is observant, logical, and generally more even-tempered than Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia. She often mediates their arguments and was among the first to recognize that Xiao Bai’s cold behavior came from a desire to keep the other Magical Girls out of danger. 11

Her maturity is paired with strong empathy. She provides Yu Muqiu the heart-to-heart support she needs during periods of confusion, treats her teammates’ injuries, and earned the nickname “Mama Xiaochun” for habitually taking care of the group. 40 98 103

However, Xiao Chun becomes impulsive and possessive when Fang Ming’s safety or affection is involved. Her concern for him can override her usual composure, driving her to confront stronger opponents, investigate Xiao Bai’s connection to him, and react sharply to perceived romantic rivals. 69 117 205

Abilities & Skills

Arrow Magic

Xiao Chun’s primary combat magic manifests as green energy arrows fired from her Magical Armament.

• Excels at long-range precision; she can accurately strike targets from a high-rise more than a thousand meters away. 30
• Her arrows can be detonated in midair. 70
• Her arrows initially failed to harm the Speed Demon because its speed allowed it to evade every shot. 4

Healing Magic

Xiao Chun serves as the team’s principal healer and can use life-themed magic for recovery and restraint.

• Treated Chen Xiaoxia’s injuries after battle. 103
• In Shining Form, deployed healing light across Spring City while also restraining out-of-control machines with vines. 146

Shining Form

• Replaces her standard vine bow with a larger, sturdier longbow decorated with blooming lilies. 71
• Allows her to perform wide-area support magic on a city-wide scale. 146
