Background / History
Chixia’s ancestors migrated from the Central Plains Plateau to Jinzhou, where their family line expanded considerably. Her family’s fondness for intensely spicy food is reflected in her own eating habits 12.
As a Patrol Commandant, she handles daily patrols and assignments, including residents’ requests for help. Her duties keep her in Jinzhou when Rover and Lu Li leave to investigate clues outside the city 11 13 17.
Appearance
- Red hair — identified at her first appearance and later ruffled by Lu Li 1 12.
- Gloves — she habitually wears them; Lu Li notices that her hands have hardly any calluses despite her patrol work 11.
- Slender waist — noted when she catches Lu Li during their aerial race 13.
- Holstered pistols — carried at her waist 4.
Personality
Chixia is cheerful, energetic, and openly affectionate toward friends. She welcomes Rover as a friend regardless of whether she is the Magistrate’s intended guest, promises her a meal, and eagerly introduces newcomers to Jinzhou’s food and entertainment. Verina describes her as warm as a blazing fire, easygoing, and always full of energy 4 6 39.
Her optimism is grounded in confidence in Jinzhou’s people and defenders. When Yangyang worries about the awakening Tacet Fields, Chixia points out that they have already reported the anomalies and reminds her that the city has repeatedly weathered Remnant tides. She also insists that their own group is capable of contributing rather than relying entirely on its leaders 11.
She enjoys teasing Lu Li but becomes flustered by his romantic advances. She objects to his simultaneous confessions, initially considers a kiss too hasty, and later grows jealous of his increasing closeness with Rover 7 13 48.
Technical explanations and elaborate political discussions are less comfortable territory for her. She struggles to explain the central beacon, becomes sleepy during discussion of Changli’s reputation, and mangles a proverb while praising Jinhsi 6 16 47.
