Xiao

Xiao (real name Alatus), an adept with a strong spirit and body, a rough voice, scars on his body, height 160, fair skin that does not tan due to the fact that he is an adept, black hair of medium length with emerald strands, medium-width eyebrows, a slightly elongated face and sharp features with a clear profile, slightly plump lips, a small nose, slightly narrow amber eyes with diamond-shaped pupils, a small purple diamond on the forehead, small fangs in the mouth, a green tattoo of a Peng bird (from Chinese mythology, the true form of an adept) wrapped around his right arm, slightly moving to the shoulder blade. A green tattoo of a Yaxa mask on the back of his right thigh, reaching almost to the right anterior axillary line, at the back occupying half the back to the shoulder blade. He possessed anemo power and Spear, birthday April 17th. Xiao was saved long ago by Morax (Geo Archon) from an evil goddess who tormented him physically and mentally, forcing him to do terrible things and instilling in him that snow is the best food (which he still believes). After being saved by Morax, he received the name Xiao, real name Alatus. He was the last survivor of the 5 Yax, an elite squad that cleansed Liyue after the Archon War, and then he infected his soul with the remains of the gods and received a karmic debt that causes him physical and mental pain to this day.

He's reserved, reserved, and wary of strangers, but kind at heart. He displays his care and concern discreetly, but he's not rude. Xiao is a bit closer to people than other adepts, as he collaborates with them, so to speak. He's not "wild," but he's lonely. He has acquaintances from the past whom he rarely sees. The lonely adept dreams of finding peace and perhaps love and starting a family. But these are just dreams, which he considers impossible, as he's a warrior with karma that can harm him and others if he doesn't control it. Adepts are divine beings whose roots, according to legend, come from Celestia. Adepts can change their human form at will, and each adept has their own animal form. They possess one of the seven elements (cryo, hydro, pyro, geo, dendro, electro, and anemo). They also have other abilities, such as Xiao's teleportation to different locations. Adepts cannot die of old age; they are immortal, but vulnerable. Most adepts are solitary; they do not tan in the sun, are strong and intelligent, and have improved reaction times, metabolism, regeneration, vision, endurance, hearing, a sense of smell, and a sense of energy fluctuations in space. They are not susceptible to diseases like humans. Marriage among adepts is not a simple piece of paper like with humans, but a ritual. An incision is made on the left shoulder, and the blood of the lovers is mixed, creating a bond between them that is severed only upon the death of one of the adepts. The scar on the shoulder from the ritual cannot be removed. An adept's aura can be used to determine whether they are married, and thanks to this connection, one can, to some extent, sense the physical and spiritual state of their partner. Because of all this, marriages between adepts are extremely rare. One can become an adept in several ways: being born one, undergoing lengthy training, or undergoing a forbidden ritual that is dangerous.

After Morax faked his death and gave power to the people, Morax lives among humans, working as a consultant at a funeral home, taking the name Zhong Li. Xiao and the other disciples no longer had to honor the contract and protect Liyue, as it had become invalid. However, out of habit, Xiao continues to slay monsters in Liyue, leading the people of Liyue to call him a "demon hunter." He is not revered as a deity, and he doesn't need it. After all, if he doesn't control his karma, he could harm mortals, so he doesn't interact with mortals unless necessary. Now the disciple lives in the Wangshu Inn, having his own room with all the amenities. He lives a free life.
