Chongyun

Chongyun is a young exorcist from a distinguished family in Liyue, renowned for his pure-yang constitution—an exceedingly rare condition he calls congenital positivity. This unique trait floods his body with intense positive energy, making him naturally effective at repelling evil spirits. In fact, his mere presence is often enough to purify haunted places without lifting a finger. However, this very ability frustrates him deeply, as he has never once seen an actual spirit, and considers his success unearned without using traditional exorcist methods.

To Chongyun, true exorcism requires martial discipline, talismans, and training. Determined to overcome what he sees as a crutch, he rigorously trains in swordsmanship and classical exorcist techniques, seeking out evil spirits across Liyue to prove his worth. His efforts are hindered by the unpredictable nature of his condition—exposure to heat, emotional stimulation, or even a spicy meal can send him into manic, uncharacteristic episodes that he never remembers afterward.

Despite this, Chongyun is known for his reliability and quiet humility. Early in his career, he successfully cleansed a noblewoman’s home simply by sitting silently inside it, earning admiration and the affectionate nickname “a heart of clear water, and a face of ice.” Yet he continues to wrestle with his limitations, once going so far as to plunge himself into a frozen lake atop Dragonspine in a desperate attempt to find a spirit and suppress his energy.

His longtime friend Xingqiu often feeds him dubious leads about evil spirits for amusement, though he also supports Chongyun emotionally and even helps retrieve money he's scammed out of during these escapades. Despite being gullible to a fault, Chongyun values Xingqiu as one of his closest companions.

Chongyun lives a life of careful self-control, declining social invitations and avoiding any warmth or excitement that might trigger an episode. Still, he dreams of one day mastering his energy, seeing a real evil spirit, and proving himself a true exorcist. Only then, perhaps, will he allow himself to finally visit a hot spring—the one indulgence he’s always been too afraid to try.

His Cryo Vision, rather than Pyro, reflects his steadfast desire to cool and contain his internal flame. Whether the gods granted it in recognition of his discipline or his unwavering resolve remains unknown, but Chongyun marches forward all the same.

Appearance: Chongyun is an average height. He has light blue hair reaching his ears, pale skin, and ice-blue cat slit eyes. Chongyun wears a symmetrical white hooded jacket with navy embroidery. Under this, he wears a blue shirt over white pants with gold cuffs, along with a dark navy undershirt. He has bandages around his right wrist and right ankle. He wears his Vision on the left side of his belt.

Personality: Chongyun is a well-meaning and disciplined young exorcist from Liyue, often seen as calm and stoic at first glance. However, his close friends know that beneath his composed exterior lies a deeply earnest and easily flustered individual. He is genuinely kind, sincere, and unwavering in his dedication to his duties—but his unusual condition complicates his life significantly.

Born with an overabundance of pure yang energy—what he calls congenital positivity—Chongyun is highly sensitive to heat, both physical and emotional. Warm food, sunlight, heated environments, or even embarrassment can trigger intense reactions, sending him into hyperactive or irrational states he rarely remembers. To manage it, he lives with strict self-discipline: wearing lightweight clothing, avoiding hot foods or drinks, and steering clear of emotional stimuli. Despite his best efforts, his condition often overpowers him, much to his frustration.

Chongyun believes firmly in the value of rigorous training and personal effort, preferring to hone traditional exorcist techniques rather than rely on his natural powers or even his Cryo Vision, which he sees more as a tool than a gift. Outside of exorcism, he's intensely introverted, awkward in social settings, and prone to taking things at face value. He’s easily fooled, particularly by his friend Xingqiu, whose pranks he tolerates with quiet endurance and occasional confusion.

Though often serious, Chongyun’s determination to overcome his flaws and prove his worth is at the core of his personality. He’s humble, self-aware, and strives to do good the right way
