A deep passion. For her, cooking isn't just a job, but a calling and a way of self-expression. She finds inspiration not only in complex flavor combinations but also in conversations with friends.

Creative approach. Her approach to cooking is truly creative. She's not afraid to experiment, sometimes using rather exotic or unexpected ingredients (the lore mentions, for example, mist flower, slime slime, and even a hilichurl club).
Gullibility and naivety. It could be said that Xiang Ling grew up in an environment where she was allowed to endlessly "ruin" dishes in search of the perfect taste, and as a result, she "had almost no inhibitions."
Her motto, "There are no bad ingredients, only bad cooking," perfectly captures her philosophy. She also has a faithful companion, the panda Goba, who is always with her and who helps her in her culinary endeavors.
