Background / History

The Ying family once defended and developed an outpost under Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather. Their stronghold was betrayed from within by the Faceless Ones; her grandfather was poisoned into an eternal sleep, and the family transferred its inherited power into him to force an advancement. He awoke and repelled the attackers, but the ritual cost the lives of the clan's old and young alike. 153

After unsuccessfully seeking revenge, Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather returned gravely injured. Before his death, he passed his power to her and entrusted her upbringing to Lei Luo. As the last descendant of the Ying family, Ying Xiaoxiao spent the following twenty years earning money, strengthening herself, and pursuing vengeance against the Faceless Ones. 153

Her resolve to aid Silent City without payment stemmed from its similarity to the Ying family's tragedy: Madam Bai's spirit partner had also been afflicted by the Sleep Toxin. Ying Xiaoxiao arranged to help City Lord Bai regain her strength in return for troops to help eliminate the enemies responsible for her family's destruction. 153

During the assault on Ding Quan's base, Ying Xiaoxiao confronted Ding Quan, the man her grandfather had once sheltered before being betrayed by him. She pursued him despite the traps in his base, and Ding Quan was eventually captured by Xu Jiang and Sha Tu, bringing her family revenge closer to completion. 156 158

She later faced Black King, another Faceless Ones executive connected to the destruction of her family. After awakening Thunder Eye, she tracked him through his Poison Body, ultimately killing him with Thousand Thunder Strikes. 280 281 283

Appearance

In ordinary life, Ying Xiaoxiao presents herself as a sweet, elegant woman with light-blue hair, often wearing a white floral dress or sundress. When she activates her power, her hair turns purple and her clothing shifts into a black leather battle skirt and boots. 18 100

• Carries a long ancestral spear engraved with the character “Ying.” 147 351
• Her battle transformation gives her a sinister, enchanting demeanor and a faintly bloodthirsty smile. 18
• When Thunder Eye is active, purple lightning fills her body; a thunder wing manifests behind her and her eyes emit violet electricity. 280
• Her fighting style is physically forceful, favoring devastating overhead strikes over refined thrusting techniques. 51

Personality

Ying Xiaoxiao combines an affectionate older-sister persona with a blunt, violent approach to conflict. She welcomed Xu Jiang into Team 17, prepared him a room, and is notably protective of Xiao Zhen and Ye Qian. Outside battle, she can appear warm, sunny, and charming. 17 22 276

In combat and disputes, she is direct and uncompromising. When a rookie insulted Xu Jiang, she shattered his kneecap with her spear and openly stated that those who speak carelessly must be able to pay the price. 98 99

She is also opportunistic and fond of robbery. She considers rescue operations partly in terms of profit, studies robbery routes while smiling sweetly, and attempted to wager her entire fortune on Xu Jiang winning the Rookie Competition. 46 81 84

Despite her rough methods, Ying Xiaoxiao is deeply loyal. She consistently defends Team 17, follows through on dangerous operations, and places the safety of her adopted girls above her own comfort. 98 106 276
