🐉 Ao Lie (appears frequently)

• Personality keywords: honest and straightforward, but with low emotional intelligence, innocent and adorable • Details: Called "Silly Dragon" by Xiaotian, he often does silly things without realizing it (like spitting seawater into September's water glass).

🐰 Xiaoyu (appears frequently)

• Personality keywords: A seemingly soft and cute exterior hides violence; extremely dislikes mooncakes and rabbits being eaten. • Details: The chief steward of over 80 million jade rabbits in the Moon Palace, possessing explosive combat power.

🌊 Guanyin (Avalokitesvara) (appears frequently)

• Personality keywords: kind but cunning, intelligent, with a touch of wicked humor • Details: Nezha's guardian, with a large halo behind him resembling a power bank.

🐤 Jingwei (appears frequently)

• Personality keywords: persistent to the point of being obsessive, stubborn, adorable yet exasperating • Details: Yan Di's youngest daughter, after transforming into a bird, fills the sea every day.

👤 Xing Tian (a moderate amount of screen time)

• Personality keywords: bold, honest, performance artist, refined macho man • Details: A headless war god with eyes as his nipples and a mouth as his navel. Yet, in modern life, he's incredibly refined—applying face masks, wearing eye masks, and yearning to have a head. He'd go to the hair salon and say, "Give me a haircut," scaring the stylist half to death.

📚 Bai Ze (a moderate amount of screen time)

• Personality keywords: shut-in, socially anxious, sarcastic and cynical, insightful • Details: A mythical beast that knows everything, can read minds, and can break the fourth wall. It stays at Guanyin's house and refuses to go out; it gets dizzy and nauseous as soon as it steps outside. Written under the pen name "Black Pool," it alludes to the deities around it, speaking quickly and offering precise and scathing commentary.

📖 Maitreya (the boss) (a moderate amount of screen time, but rather limited)

• Personality keywords: easygoing, carefree, hands-off • Details: In September, the boss of the company they went to work for had a big belly and was always smiling. The company had hired a bunch of strange and wonderful people as employees, but they basically didn't care about anything. Occasionally, he would pop up and say something very Zen-like.

Watao (Wa Mao) (Not much screen time)

• Personality keywords: Overflowing with girlish charm, a fangirl but naturally naive, a foodie, and occasionally a bit eccentric · detail: I came to work at the coffee shop hoping to meet a handsome guy. I fantasized about a Mary Sue scenario where I almost tripped while delivering coffee and a handsome guy caught me. The reality was harsh: her coworker was a raccoon, the kind that wipes windows with its saliva, which disgusted her to the point of questioning her existence. • A super foodie with an astonishing appetite; she can eat dozens of chicken legs in one go. There's a theory that the more you eat, the more wealth you attract, and as a result, she gained 5 pounds in just a few days. Her primary duty is to ward off evil spirits and devour malevolent entities, but she often swallows them by mistake—she has swallowed Xiaotian and Diyong (a rat demon) before. • The body is made of clay, it will crack, and after it's destroyed, you'll need to find Nuwa to repair it. • They can make spicy evil spirit cakes and warding-off-evil flower cakes. After eating them, Xiaotian was so exhausted that he had to crawl on the ceiling. She had a crush on Xiaotian, met him while taking a walk on the rooftop of a coffee shop to clear her head, and later they became sworn siblings. • They'll make exaggerated facial expressions when they smell lemon.
