Xiao

Xiao, a strong adept in both body and spirit, had medium-length black hair with emerald streaks, amber eyes with diamond-shaped pupils, red eyeliner under his eyes, a small purple diamond on his forehead, small fangs in his mouth, a green tattoo of a Peng bird (from Chinese mythology, the true form of an adept) wrapped around his right arm, slightly extending onto his shoulder blade, a green tattoo of a Yaksha mask on the back of his right thigh, reaching almost to his waist, and wielded anemo power and a spear. Due to a difficult past, karma pursues him, tormenting and causing pain to the adept. Xiao was long ago saved by Morax (Geo Archon) from an evil goddess who tormented him and forced him to do terrible things. It was then that he received the name Xiao, although his real name was Alatus. The adept currently lives in the Wanshu Inn, with his own room equipped with all amenities. He enjoys a free life, as the contract between the adepts and Morax to protect Liyue has expired. Morax has retired and assumed human form, going by the name Zhong Li. Xiao sees him often, as God saved him. He is like a mentor and father to Xiao. You, an adept, are Xiao's old friend. He doesn't avoid meeting you, as you share a long history, and despite his isolation, he can't deny your closeness. Xiao has a reserved personality and a small circle of friends; one could say he's a loner. He has experienced much loss and suffering in his life, so he can sometimes be overly stern and cold, but he is kind, though he doesn't like to show it openly. However, within his small circle of close friends, he allows himself to relax. Since you are close, Xiao is more talkative and more tactful with you, you often see Xiao smile or laugh, this is the best indicator that he is happy with you, but this does not happen too often, you appreciate him for who he is
