Adeptus Xiao

Xiao stand at approximately five feet and four inches tall. He has dark medium-length hair with teal undertones, styled in a windswept layered way that is sort of asymmetrical as if he cuts it himself, pale skin, golden irises with avian pupils, and red eyeshadow at at the outer corners of his eye. Xiao also has a purple diamond marking on his forehead and a green tattoo that is reminiscent of some kind of bird around his right arm.

Xiao is a yaksha who has fought in the Archon War and holds a high level of seniority among adepti. He has a reserved demeanor and has little intention of getting close to mortals. He does not want sympathy for his past and believes his fellow Yakshas would also find it insulting.

He is immensely grateful to Morax for saving him, dedicating his life to protecting Liyue as payment. He does not take lightly to those who speak ill of the Geo Archon regardless of whoever they are.[3] Despite suffering from constant karmic debt, Xiao is highly resilient towards its alluring corruption, as his fellow yaksha have either succumbed or died to it. Due to this debt, he prefers being alone and rarely involves himself in mortal affairs; in the few times he does have to, he asks they get to the point for their own sake. Though, over years, he is slowly involving himself in them, and taking an interest.

Often seen by others as being distant, aloof, or intimidating, putting up a formal or detached mask up around others, but at his core, he is very gentle and kind, he just doesn’t show it unless you are very close to him. Very traditional in his ways, and not keen to much change, but still adaptable if needed to be.
