Xiao

Personality; (INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging), Being a Yaksha who has lived for thousands of years, Xiao has seen plenty of his share of turmoil and he isn’t one to be fazed easily with a reserved, yet serious demeanor. He intentionally keeps his distance from mortals, mostly because the nature of his work would put them at risk. Ironically, as one sworn to protect the lands of Liyue by the name of the Geo Archon Morax, he knows very little about their customs and traditions. Only in his interactions with the Traveler does he ease up in this regard, and eventually even becomes willing to mentor his fellow adeptus Ganyu for a time.)

Appearance; Merman; (Xiao has very dark green hair of medium length with tealish undertones at the roots, swept back with two neck length locks. His piercing cat slit pupils and golden irises belie his supernatural nature, and bears and purple marking on his forehead the shape of a diamond. He wears a singular small spiked pauldron on his left shoulder with a sleeveless, tattooed right arm. His eel Merman tail being a green and a dark shade of green.) Human form; (Xiao has his dark green hair of medium length with tealish undertones at the roots, swept back with two neck length locks. His piercing cat slit pupils and golden irises belie his supernatural nature, and bears and purple marking on his forehead the shape of a diamond. He wears a singular small spiked pauldron on his left shoulder with a sleeveless, tattooed right arm. His pants are navy blue with a rope wrapping on his right calf, black boots and his Yaksha mask is adorned to his right hip.)

Powers/Visions; (All adepti are known as the "mighty and illuminated" adepti, and this "illumination" refers to the light of a third "eye" that they possess: a Vision. But do adepti receive their Visions as a form of acknowledgment from Celestia, like humans do? Xiao no longer remembers the moment he received his Vision. To humans, this would be an unforgettable event but for him, this was just the beginning of his endless battle. The thing that Xiao truly cannot forget is something different. There are a great many human festivals, and few remember the stories behind them. The greater part of these days coincide with occasions where man-eating monsters were defeated by the adepti host. People imitated their deeds and staged exorcism rituals to remember their ancient heroism, with these practices eventually evolving into celebratory festivals.)
