Background / History

Xiao Wu initially ruled Dorm Seven through a challenge custom requiring each newcomer to prove their strength. She challenged Bai Ye on his arrival, attacking without warning and wrapping her legs around his waist, but Bai Ye restrained her until she surrendered. She immediately acknowledged him as “Boss Bai,” accepting his authority without resentment. 2

She openly mocked Tang San after Bai Ye defeated him and joined Wang Sheng and the other work-study students in subduing Tang San when he attacked Wang Sheng in anger. 3 4 After Bai Ye left Notting Academy for Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu became Dorm Seven’s leader again and eventually the leader of the entire academy. 11

Xiao Wu later chose to leave Notting with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. Over the following six years, she and Tang San came to regard one another as older sister and younger brother rather than sworn siblings. 11 16

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu eagerly reunited with Bai Ye after recognizing him despite his changed appearance. Her warmth toward him and concern during his duel with Tang San intensified Tang San’s jealousy. 16 17

Her identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was exposed when Sword Douluo recognized her fear response. Bai Ye publicly remained at her side and later refused to surrender her to Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo, convincing Xiao Wu that he would protect her despite the value of her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. 20 22

Bai Ye subsequently gave her the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Xiao Wu successfully claimed the flower by thinking of the person she loved, began calling Bai Ye “brother,” and chose to preserve the herb rather than consume it. Unbeknownst to her, Bai Ye intends to use her trust to secure a voluntary sacrifice for his fifth Soul Ring. 23

Appearance

Xiao Wu initially appears as an innocent, adorable young girl, concealing her true nature as a transformed Soul Beast. 2 After six years apart, Bai Ye recognizes her by her distinctive scorpion braid. 17

• Long scorpion braid. 3 17
• Outwardly human despite being a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. 2 20
• Her fear becomes visibly apparent when Sword Douluo’s presence exposes her identity. 20

Personality

Xiao Wu is competitive and quick to fight, establishing her authority in Dorm Seven through strength and attacking Bai Ye immediately after challenging him. She nevertheless accepts defeat directly, recognizes superior strength, and does not hold a grudge after Bai Ye becomes dormitory boss. 2

She is outspoken and loyal to those she considers close. She mocks Tang San when he refuses to accept defeat, helps restrain him when he lashes out at Wang Sheng, and repeatedly tries to calm or protect him at Shrek Academy. 3 4 18

Her affection for Bai Ye grows after his apparent refusal to abandon her following the revelation of her soul beast identity. She interprets his actions as sincere devotion and becomes emotionally attached to him. 22 23
