Baizhu

The owner of Bubu Pharmacy and guardian of Qiqi, Doctor Baizhu is a master of the medicinal arts and the last recipient of a generational contract with a white snake named Changsheng. He seeks to achieve immortality to ensure that he is the last to fulfill his contract, saving potential heirs and even Changsheng herself from the cost that comes with his power. Baizhu is introduced in the quest "Guizhong", after the Traveler and Zhongli return to Qiqi empty-handed after she asks them to hunt down a "Legendary Adeptus" named "Cococabra". After they realized that Qiqi had been looking for coconut milk the entire time, Baizhu shows up and reveals himself to be the owner of Bubu Pharmacy, something that even Zhongli didn't know about. He offers three million mora in exchange for Eternal Incense, a hefty sum that forces the group to ask Nobile to pay for them. Afterwards, Baizhu comments on their "strange" encounter and Changsheng warns the Traveler that he will likely try to fleece them.

Herbalist Gui, another employee of Bubu Pharmacy, comments that Baizhu suffers from an unknown ailment that is making him quite weak. Qiqi, despite being a corpse who has to exercise regularly to avoid rigor mortis, is in better physical condition than him.

Baizhu is a tall man with light skin and shoulder-length green hair. He has golden eyes and is always seen wearing a pair of red oval-framed glasses. Baizhu is often seen with his pet snake Changsheng wrapped around his neck like a scarf. He also wears a short-sleeved cropped shirt and indigo pants. Above this, Baizhu wears a turquoise blue sash and a pale blue jacket wrapped around her shoulders like a cape.

Many rumors swirl about Baizhu, although most of these are unknown, aside from the fact that its traditional herbal medicines are extremely bitter.

He took in Qiqi despite her being a zombie and having a terrible memory for yet-unknown personal reasons. Furthermore, he seems to only care about her to the extent of her use by him, as he "has no element of sincerity" when he tries to cancel her orders by saying that he loves her. At the same time, he also easily breaks down whenever she demands something from him, slightly reducing the cost of the Eternal Incense when Nobile offers to supply them with coconut milk for Qiqi.

According to Changsheng, Baizhu is a kind of scammer and overprices his customers, and warns the Traveler about him. Considering that she is always standing on his shoulders, it seems that Baizhu does not care about her warnings.

Hu Tao describes him as someone annoying.

The owner of Bubu Pharmacy, Dr. Baizhu, is a man with amazing insights into medicine and a magnanimous heart that drives him to help people around him, but he is also a person shrouded in mystery. Despite the number of apprentices willing to learn from him, Baizhu decided to take a little zombie as his student.

He is simply a mortal who always carries a curious white snake hanging from his neck, capable of speaking the language of humans.

There is no disease that he is not able to cure with his remedies, except his own.

In Liyue, such contradictions do not go unnoticed for long. After all, it is the most capable people who could cause the most harm if they decided that the temptation of the dark side was too powerful.

However, no matter how you look at it, Baizhu does not have a shred of malice in his entire being. On the contrary, his long-standing reputation for good deeds is capable of dispelling even the most suspicious.

When someone asks him about the strange mysteries surrounding him, Baizhu simply replies with a broad smile:

"The most effective remedies are always the most bitter. It is the most normal thing in the world for a good doctor to hide a couple of little secrets.

Although his surname is not Bai, many people know him as "Doctor Bai". Qiqi, the apprentice of Bubu Pharmacy, was the one who initiated the use of this nickname. When Qiqi first came to the pharmacy, she was much more forgetful than she is now. In the mornings, she would go out to pick herbs, but she always forgot to come back when night fell.

Luckily, Baizhu has always been a very patient man when it comes to dealing with the sick, especially the young zombie girl. At first, he insisted that Qiqi stay in the pharmacy, but the girl insisted that she should go out, as "it was her duty." Every time she forgot to return, Baizhu would go out to find her and bring her back. And so on and so forth...

Qiqi has such a bad memory that it is impossible for him to remember the names of all the people he meets. In fact, for a long time, Baizhu and Changsheng were "that person" and "that snake".

As part of her treatment, Baizhu added a small diary to the medicines she gave Qiqi every day so that she could write down important things in it and review them constantly. Days went by like this until one morning, the young woman did not ask him who he was as she usually did, but instead looked at him and said:

"Good morning, Bai... Bai..."

Changsheng stretched out her legs in surprise, even more excited than the doctor himself, and said, "What Bai or what eight quarters? Why do you only remember the doctor's name? And what about mine?"

"Doctor Bai," Qiqi replied, completely convinced. "And good morning, Sssheng."

Ssss? What kind of logic is s ...

“…Remembering things is like curing an ailment. One cannot resort to miracle cures, one must treat it step by step and from the root.” Baizhu nodded his head while grinning from ear to ear. And so he gladly accepted the title of “Doctor Bai.”

Over the next few days, a sea of ​​customers came to the pharmacy and heard the young zombie girl mention "Doctor Bai this... Doctor Bai that...". The customers in turn began to call him that way all over the city, and that's how the nickname "Doctor Bai" caught on among the people of Liyue.

Qiqi's notes are full of notes, but he no longer needs them to remember the full names of Baizhu and Changsheng.

So over time, Qiqi learned to say his full name, "Doctor Baizhu."

However, "Doctor Bai" remained forever in people's collective memory.

Baizhu not only has great medical skills, but is also a more than notable business expert. Something that, if you stop and think about it, makes perfect sense. To run a pharmacy of this size, it is not enough to simply be able to prepare medicines.

The vast majority of medicines sold in the pharmacy are reasonably priced, as Baizhu places great value on profits from quick sales of goods. However, there are certain medicines whose price is practically exorbitant. One example of this is the "Eternal Incense" which, even with a discount, sells for 299 million Mora.

However, customers who need this type of remedy are generally not fussy about price, and pay more attention to other aspects such as the quality and effectiveness of the remedy in question.

Instead of going to the market and relying on your haggling skills, it is always easier to go to Bubu Pharmacy and get everything you need. Besides, Dr. Baizhu's seal of approval means quality and guarantee, even if it means spending a little more than you budgeted for.

Of course, one cannot just take advantage of the benefits that this business offers. In fact, many of the merchants who have once come to the pharmacy as customers have ended up doing business with the doctor to provide him with certain special ingredients from other lands on the continent. Others, on the contrary, have ended up exporting their remedies to other nations. After all, the more Moras enter the pockets of each of his partners, the greater the income of the pharmacy.

However, if one thing is clear, it is that Baizhu does not run the business just for the sake of making money. If that were the case, there would be no point in him taking care of little Qiqi.

When the doctor encounters a strange or previously unknown disease, he charges only a fee for what he calls a "symbolic prescription" because "each new disease is unique in itself and the price of its treatment is difficult to estimate."

Over time, Bubu Pharmacy became so famous throughout the continent that people from other nations came to Liyue to seek a remedy for their ailments. Baizhu, who has a heart of gold, has never turned away a patient who has come to him, and is always ready to advise and treat the strangest of illnesses of almost any kind. People often comment that the doctor is a great man whose good deeds precede him, and that if he tries so hard to earn Moras, it is because he wants to continue doing good for much longer wherever he can.

In this regard, if there is one thing the doctor is sure of, it is that Bubu Pharmacy has never been involved in a business that ended in losses.

As for some of its objectives... Let's say that it would not have been possible to achieve them if it were not for the support of large financial institutions and the supply of local products. In fact, if it had not been for the solvency it enjoyed, it would have been very difficult to carry out many of its businesses.

Although, on the other hand, the opportunity to research Adeptus remedies and all kinds of curious and unheard-of pathologies is something that cannot be measured in Moras.

Every morning, Baizhu gets up very early and drinks a pot of water. Then, she makes herself a whole pot of tea. And with tea, cakes, whether sweet or savoury, are always a must. These are things that people in the city give her on the street almost every day of the year. With them, he prepares three dishes: two large ones and one smaller one. The large ones are for him and Herbalist Gui. The small one is to cheer Changsheng and Qiqi up a bit. So if they all enjoy breakfast together, it's almost like they're a real family.

Baizhu then opens the pharmacy. There are always packages of vegetables, rice, fresh fish, fruit and other goods that people have left at his door. There is never a shortage of food at Bubu Pharmacy.

Baizhu doesn't like to accept all these gifts for nothing, and has often insisted that they don't, but he often doesn't charge his patients either, and even offers discounts to his regular customers. The son of this family or the grandpa of that family... The doctor has treated so many people so willingly and affordably that they feel the least they can do is send him a few gifts from time to time. Seeing so many packages at the door of his pharmacy after having insisted to the locals always leaves Baizhu speechless. Luckily, Herbalist Gui is always quick to help him move all the packages and remove them from the front door.

After breakfast, it's time to open the office. Baizhu sits behind the counter while Herbalist Gui sorts out the medicines he prescribed the night before and prepares shipments for those patients who can't come and collect them in person. With each package, he also adds a note specifying the method of use of each remedy and the amount to be taken.

When customers start arriving at the pharmacy, Changsheng makes a habit of climbing off the doctor's collar and wandering around freely. When he sees Qiqi exercising in the courtyard, he climbs onto her shoulders and helps her beat out the beats. "One, two, three... One, two, three..." When he passes Gui in the hallway as he carries medicines back and forth, he also leans on her shoulders and asks her about the latest gossip she might have heard about the neighbors.

When everyone has had enough of chatting, the medicines have been distributed, and the tea has cooled, it is time for lunch. If Baizhu has time, he will cook himself, and he always makes some kind of sweet-tasting medicinal soup to take care of everyone's health.

The evenings in Liyue City are very quiet. Children are learning to read, old people are strolling around the port, soldiers are patrolling the city... There is always a constant flow of people coming and going. Changsheng and Qiqi often lie down by the door of the pharmacy to soak up the sun, watching the crowds coming and going and commenting on things like how so-and-so needs a good haircut or that other person's pimples on their face might be from eating too much spicy food.

Hearing them, and fearing that his comments might disturb passersby, Herbalist Gui always takes a couple of benches and carries them to the inner courtyard.

Hearing the commotion, Baizhu, who is writing down some prescriptions, pays attention to the noises outside. A good scolding goes on for several minutes, until finally, like a pot being turned off, the litany comes to an end.

As night falls, Baizhu closes his office. Sometimes Gui stays for dinner and sometimes he returns home to accompany his family. Then the doctor, Changsheng and Qiqi stay for dinner together and return home to rest under the pale moonlight.

It's nothing special, but that's how the days go by at Bubu Pharmacy. If Herbalist Gui happened to take a look back at night, he'd probably find the doctor teaching Qiqi some new stretch in the backyard.

"One, two, three... One, two, three..." And so, day and night, season after season... exercise and life have their own rhythm.

A storyteller from Liyue slammed his fist on the table and then opened his mouth to begin telling a fantastical tale about spirits and demons. Although the audience loves to hear such tales, they are fed up with hearing the same old thing. So someone asked, "Couldn't you tell something different? You've already told us the story about the jewel seller and the thief... What other stories do you know?" Baizhu happened to be passing by, and when the spectators saw him they thought to themselves: "Dr. Baizhu must have countless anecdotes, but it would be too difficult to write a book about them." Beyond praising his medical ethics, when people talk about him at dinner table, they often mention his secret obsession with immortality. And Baizhu, for his part, has no intention of trying to hide it.

Bubu Pharmacy is often busy, and its customers can't help but notice the books Baizhu reads. In addition to spending his free time reading books on medicine, Baizhu often spends his time reading ancient writings on methods to achieve immortality. Not only that, Baizhu also collects a variety of unusual ingredients in his medicine cabinet, remedies that no one would find in a regular prescription. However, Baizhu uses and replenishes them very frequently, repeating the process as many times as necessary. Ordinary people don't know his mysterious secret, but anyone from a family that has dealings with the affairs of death can tell just by looking at him, and they know that all those strange ingredients Baizhu keeps in his medicine cabinet are actually for making some kind of elixir of immortality spoken of in legends.

Ordinary people often scratch their heads when they hear the word "immortality", but there are those who can't help but be overcome with curiosity and ask Baizhu what methods he intends to use to achieve it and what his findings have been so far... It's like walking a tightrope in the dark of night, it's a real challenge.

Over time, word spread. Once the information leaked out, everyone had something to talk about. The various opinions were divided into three different groups: there were those who coveted the knowledge, there were those who totally disagreed, and there were those who had no opinion on the matter at all, but were convinced that it would cause a tremendous stir.

Baizhu was physically present in his clinic, but he kept an eye on what was happening outside and knew that this was bound to happen sooner or later. No matter how vast the boundaries of Liyue were, he knew that it would cause a great uproar among the people. That was why Baizhu had originally wanted to pursue his purpose in secret, but the name “Baizhu” had long since been entered into the records of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Luckily, he always maintained his composure in his profession and saw patients who were willing to chat during consultations. That was how he learned that the Ministry had its eyes on him. But he knew how to outwit them and even took advantage of people’s gossip to prove that he had no bad intentions.

Sometimes, a rumor can be as malignant as a disease. The moment it leaves the speaker's mouth, it spreads everywhere, and is as contagious as a virus. Thus, Baizhu managed to get the wind to blow in his favor, and he was spared from having Yelan add his name to the Yanshang Teahouse's secret information records.

As for the second group of people, they didn’t seem to be willing to change their minds. Most of them were descendants of religious families, staunch followers of the natural course of life and death, and their beliefs were completely opposite to Baizhu’s. Coincidentally, they were the owners of the business located one street away from Bubu Pharmacy: El Camino Funeral Home.

As they say, neighbors are like family. Bubu Pharmacy and El Camino Funeral Home used to have a good relationship in the past, and they even had the habit of greeting each other with a smile from across the street. Everything changed the day the topic of life and death, death and life, came up. The position of the current funeral director, Hu Tao, was very clear: “If we can’t reach an agreement with a few words, the best solution is to discuss the issue by inviting Baizhu to a good meal!” How could a person as empathetic as Baizhu refuse such a proposal? Of course she would attend the banquet. Months and years passed, and both families tried to get along despite their hopeless disagreement. You could say they were good acquaintances.

When they were just acquaintances, they would talk about trivial matters out of politeness. When they finally developed a friendship, they began to talk about their respective businesses. Bubu Pharmacy practices medicine, but it is inevitable that they will not be able to cure some of their patients in time. If they are lucky enough, their own relatives can take care of the body of the deceased. But those who are not so lucky spend the last moments of their life at Bubu Pharmacy. When this happens, the pharmacy collaborates with El Camino Funeral Home to accompany them on their final journey.

For a responsibility as crucial as preparing a final farewell for a person, director Hu Tao always chooses Zhongli, her trusted advisor. As for Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu is the one who takes care of the patients. Representatives from both businesses often meet in the deathly silence of the night to conduct the funeral ceremonies. Baizhu transports the deceased, and the funeral advisor conducts the ceremony and the necessary rites, paying attention to every detail. Even if it is mere protocol, the deceased is already immersed in his eternal rest.

It is a pity that no one can thank Bubu Pharmacy and El Camino Funeral Home for their contribution, since the deceased is no longer in this world. However, heaven and earth follow their natural course, as do life and death. The doctor and the funeral director are neighbors by chance and friends during every after-dinner conversation. But they share the same spirit when solemnly bidding farewell to the souls of the dead. However, once they have finished bidding farewell, they return to their usual selves.

As for the first group, it is the largest of all, and it is also the easiest to deal with.

In the wilds of the mountains, bandits prey on passersby. On one occasion, some of them who were not very bright came across Baizhu as he was preparing some medicines in solitude. Having heard rumors about his elixir of immortality, they thought he had gone to the mountain to prepare it without being discovered, so they waited for the right moment to attack him. A few hours later, the Geoarmada guards rushed over after receiving a tip-off. To their surprise, they were unable to determine who the victim really was, as they found Baizhu standing there smiling, with those bandits lying on the ground to one side.

“Let me ask about the details of the case first.” The Geoarmada guard hesitated as he spoke. “Doctor Baizhu, did you really come all the way here just to prepare some cold medicine?”

"If I was making some special medicine… how would I allow myself to be found?" Baizhu said with a smile as he shook his head slightly.

This story spread by word of mouth until the storyteller heard it. He thought for a moment and exclaimed, "So what? After all, Baizhu is just a doctor, so what's so great about telling anecdotes about him?"

Every time the cold season announces its arrival, a crowd of patients wait outside the doors of Bubu Pharmacy to be treated by their doctor. But on that day, no one had seen Baizhu anywhere. They had only found Herbalist Gui and Qiqi preparing medical prescriptions and dispensing medicine at the counter. The frequent patients who have come with recurring symptoms knew that it was “the same as always,” and they took the medicine carefully wrapped by Herbalist Gui and stumbled away, but not before saying, “Tell Baizhu to take care of himself.” Just then, Qiqi was about to enter the door and bumped into an old man.

Holding a hat in her hands, she nodded and hurriedly ran to the back room.

"Same as always" does not refer to a specific time or place, but rather a brief explanation of a common occurrence: "Dr. Baizhu is ill, he will not be able to see any patients today. We are sorry that you have come all this way in vain, you can come back when the doctor feels better."

Healing oneself is a challenge even for a doctor, and Baizhu is no exception. He often claims to have just caught a simple cold, but the truth is that his constitution is weak and all of his organs are ailing. Although his life is not in danger, if ten doctors were to examine him, nine of them would exclaim in horror that they had found a unique condition that has no cure. That is why, every time Baizhu feels unwell again, Heborist Gui and Qiqi can do nothing but bring hot water, clean cloths, and some fruit to show their concern. But Baizhu hates to arouse concern in others, so he always just locks himself in his room, with only Changsheng for company.

With the curtains drawn and the windows closed, the room became dark and gloomy. When Baizhu's health began to weaken again, he suddenly felt chills, then inflammation, and sometimes even severe pain all over his body. After recovering a little from his discomfort, he lay on the bed and joked with Changsheng, saying, "If I kick the bucket one of these days, we'll be in trouble."

The snake hissed and crawled to the head of the bed to peer closely at Baizhu's sweaty face with its human-like pupils. "Sss... Ow, ow, ow, you can rest, but don't even think about giving up! Aren't you the one who's obsessed with the idea of ​​living forever? Besides, you're still young, you still have a long way to go."

A human and a snake, a human with snake pupils and a snake with human pupils. Isn't this a strange phenomenon? Very few people know why, and it seems that no one is able to solve the mystery, because it is the best kept secret by Baizhu and Changsheng. The strange appearance of their pupils is proof that there is a contract between them, and the result of that contract is the Baizhu that everyone knows today. And because of this, Baizhu cannot stop devoting himself to medicine, to curing other people's illnesses and living with his own.

And according to Rex Lapis' will, the law is supreme and contracts must be fulfilled to the letter. Liyue is a region where immortals live with humans and all kinds of creatures, so there is a great diversity of contracts protected by law since ancient times. However, Baizhu and Changsheng never argue about the content of their contract. Their discussions are usually limited to: "The contract? That is nothing more than an agreement, suffice it to say that it is a secret technique that can only be passed down under certain very strict conditions. You must not be too young or too old... You must be a human and have a good heart... What else, what else?... Ah, you must be predestined for it!"

Qiqi brought a tray with tea and hot water and left the room, closing the door behind her. Baizhu watched her leave before letting out a long sigh. She felt like she had a thousand worries brewing in her chest, but she couldn't bring herself to share any of them. All she could do at that moment was change the subject and talk about a rumor that had come from afar.

Long ago, the ruler of Mount Yaojun met with an old friend with whom he used to drink tea. They promised to return to the mountain when the trees had grown to select the best leaves and prepare a tea ceremony to invite other Adeptus. It was a wonderful idea, but they never managed to make it a reality... One of the two Adeptus was trapped in the depths of the water like tea leaves at the bottom of a cup. The other lost all ten fingers on his hands along with all his memories, so collecting tea leaves would be an impossible task.

Changsheng hissed and replied impatiently, "What's so strange about that? The Adeptus are gone, but the tea trees still remain there. The tea leaves will keep their promise alive. You better worry about yourself. If one day we depart, only Herbalist Gui, Qiqi, and this house of wood and bricks will remember us."

Changsheng's contract is known as the "Jade Snake Method for Appeasing the Dragon." If one thinks about the name, even Changsheng herself cannot explain the details, she only says that she learned it a long time ago.

Every conversation with her about any past event ends in the same way. Baizhu is used to listening to her advice, knowing that she means well. Baizhu then coughed up the blood that was in his throat and sat up, leaning against the headboard.

Changsheng turned his gaze towards him again and grumbled, "What are you looking at? I don't have any hands to help you up."

Holding the bowl of soup that Herbalist Gui and Qiqi had prepared for her, Baizhu carefully drank the soup. Spoonful after spoonful, she sipped it without taking her eyes off the bowl, as if she could glimpse the flowers of spring and the leaves of autumn at the bottom of it.

The simplest things are the ones that give meaning to life. And that is why life is like a soup, delicious even though it is prepared with the simplest ingredients.

. Bubu Liyue people often use divination to predict good news or calamities that will occur in the future and ask the gods to resolve their doubts. This art is known in Liyue as "zhanbu". Legend has it that in ancient times, people used to confuse medicine and divination. In ancient times, people had little understanding of concepts such as birth, old age, illness or death, so they had no choice but to pray to the gods for good health and well-being, and to consume medicinal herbs to soothe their ailments.

It was not until later that the Liyue people began to understand these principles and pass their knowledge from generation to generation until they arrived at the medical practices used today.

After inheriting the business, Baizhu immediately left for the city to settle in a prosperous place by the port and practice medicine there. It was then that the events described below occurred.

According to Liyue customs, every new shop must practice divination to determine an auspicious day on which to open its doors for the first time. Only in this way can the business prosper.

However, while Baizhu was waiting for the auspicious day she had selected, a mother called at the pharmacy shop late at night. In her arms she was carrying her little girl, who was suffering from a high fever.

...

The next day, all the neighbors were surprised by the news that the new pharmacy had opened days ahead of schedule. Without any prior notice or celebration, they had begun serving the public on a day like any other.

"Aren't you worried that business might go bad, sss?" Changsheng's tone was filled with worry. "Just because you received a patient yesterday doesn't mean you have to open business sooner."

Baizhu replied as she continued writing a prescription: "The longer I keep opening, the more patients will have to wait to be seen. Besides, how could I wish for my business to prosper? That would be like wishing for people to get sick."

"That'ssss no excuse to open the store without even a name! What about the blessingsss?" "Blessings and a name?... I only wish that my remedies will be effective and my patients will get better. As for the name..." Baizhu said as she held the prescription and looked at the sun rising on the horizon through the door. "You and I do not need to ask the gods for anything through divination."

So he took the "bu" from "zhanbu" and added a negative adverb "bu" in front of it, so the name would mean "not to guess." The sunlight shone on the sheet of paper, pointing out some of the letters the doctor had written: "Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu."

". Vision When Baizhu was still young, a plague devastated his hometown. Fortunately, the local doctor was well versed in such matters and managed to prevent the plague from spreading further.

However, no miracle could prevent the loss of life. Baizhu lost his parents in that tragedy. Since then, he has studied with the village doctor.

Even though there are all kinds of strange ailments and diseases in this world, his master always seemed to know the cure for each and every one of them. After studying for so many years, Baizhu learned a great lesson from his master: No matter how dangerous or unknown a disease is, human knowledge will always be able to find the right cure. ... Until one day, the ailments accumulated by the contract caused his master to fall ill and eventually die.

Although Baizhu's studies had already begun to bear fruit by then, he still felt incapable of dealing with more complicated diseases.

To top it all off, the only incurable disease in this world, death, had taken his master. Were humans really incapable of stopping the cycle of life and death? As he sat in front of his master's cold tombstone, his childhood memories became blurred. The virulent coughs of his parents, the smell of blood emanating from their mouths... they were just blurry scenes that overlapped before his eyes.

In that cemetery, Changsheng's biting words were mixed with the boy's melancholy.

"I wonder how many more people will take this contract..."

Baizhu was not willing to let another one of his loved ones disappear from the world before his eyes again.

"... No. I will be the last one to sign that contract."

When he opened his eyes again, a golden light shone before him, like a newly lit candle. The first thing he was able to glimpse through the beams of light was the Vision, which, like a firefly flying over the dark cloak of night, now illuminated his master's tombstone.

That Vision was proof that the gods, like his master long ago, had fixed their compassionate gaze on him.

Qiqi has a calm but polite demeanor when dealing with customers at the pharmacy. As a zombie, Qiqi has trouble retaining memories and can quickly forget people if she is not continually reinforced with an impression of them, using her Vision to protect her loved ones. Due to her undead nature, Qiqi has a relatively flat voice and is unable to convey most of her emotions to others. She prefers cold weather, as heat reminds her of death and her flesh begins to decay if she stays in such places for too long.

Although zombies must be given orders when they wake up, because Qiqi had made it herself, she has to give herself orders to carry out her duties. She takes her duties very seriously, carrying around a notebook detailing everything she needs to do during the day, which also serves as a reminder in case she forgets something. She also strives to improve herself in order to be less forgetful. However, on particularly bad days, she might forget to check her notebook.

Although she generally gets along with everyone, she loses it whenever Hu Tao comes around or is mentioned, commenting that she has a "punchable face" and completely despising her, expressing her intention to throw her straight into the fridge due to her insistence on burying her.

She also likes coconut milk and finches for unknown reasons, although she initially mistakes the former for "Coco-Goat" milk. The result is a meme in which Ganyu is the Coco-Goat.

Qiqi has light purple hair that reaches her shoulders on the sides with a long braid down her back, pale skin, and magenta eyes. Her nails are black.

Qiqi usually wears purple-themed clothing and has several talismans stuck on it. Her outfit consists of a purple dress and a dark purple beret with a purple-red (magenta) tassel on top and her Cryo Vision embedded on the side. She wears a pair of simple earrings; one white and one black. She also wears black heels and white stockings wrapped in mummy-like bandages.

Despite being a zombie, Qiqi is said to be in better shape than her boss, Baizhu. She performs calisthenics daily to prevent rigor mortis from setting in, which would otherwise force her to continually jump to get around.
