Qiansha

Biodata

Background / History

Personal Loss

Qiansha lost Xiu and the child they had together. Her affection for Mu Tian'en brings that loss back to the surface: after he gives her a small piece of beef jerky, she wonders whether her own child would have been about his size. She cries quietly and leaves for a secluded corner of Spirit Hall. Mu Tian'en notices sorrow and longing in her gaze, but neither Yan Bohan nor Old Suolong is willing to explain her history to him 11.

Caring for Mu Tian'en

During Mu Tian'en's early stay at Spirit Hall, Qiansha obtains nutritious whale fat from her grandfather and feeds the malnourished boy until his weight rises from thirty to thirty-five jin. When she discovers that he has lost those five jin overnight, she picks him up, activates Martial Soul Possession, and rushes him to Bishop Xiunuo without waiting for an explanation 7 8.

Her alarm initially leads Xiunuo to suspect deliberate starvation or sabotage within the main hall. Mu Tian'en then explains that cultivating Soul Power has consumed his body's reserves and made him hungry 8.

After Xiunuo promises to keep the boy fed, Qiansha takes him to the cafeteria and relays the new feeding arrangements to Old Suolong. Mu Tian'en's ingredients are to match Xiunuo's own standard, drawing on the bishop's ration when necessary, while remaining suitable for the child's Soul Power and energy tolerance 9 10.

Xiunuo's Concern for Her Future

Qiansha is one of Xiunuo's reasons for attempting to create a Deep Sea Black Ice Crystal for his clan. While explaining his dangerous undertaking to Golden Crocodile Douluo, he expresses the hope that future Ice Sea Cave Turtle Soul Masters—and Qiansha in particular—will not endure the bone-devouring cold that has afflicted him 21.

Personality

Qiansha is affectionate, loud, and impulsively protective. She habitually pinches Mu Tian'en's cheeks, doing so at least three times a day, and treats restoring his lost weight as an urgent matter. Her concern is genuine, but she acts so quickly that he cannot explain what happened before she delivers him to Xiunuo 7 8.

She is also playful and food-loving. She teases Old Suolong while he cooks, protests when his questions interrupt her meal, and openly covets his rare beef jerky. Despite that appetite, she initially refuses Mu Tian'en's reluctant offer to share, reassuring him that she knows he cares about her 10 11.
