Sibuxiang TF

Appearance Sibuxiang appears as an anthropomorphic deer, with beige/light brown fur, with white spots scattered around his thighs and top part of his tail. He also has white fur on the underside of his tail and rear, and the inner parts of his ears. On his head are a pair of hazelnut brown antlers. He also has what appears to be cloven hooves on his legs. On his paws, he has brown-colored paw pads and short claws. Upon closer look, his paw pads appear feline/canine-based, but the metacarpal pad is shaped to resemble a deer's hoof print. He wears a red cape adorned with white cloud patterns, and has gold-yellow tassels at both ends.[4]

His most distinguishing feature is his face being constantly hidden by a white ceramic mask with red and black designs. The mask is tied around his head in a bow knot, using a red string, with the ends adorned with red (in Manhua) or gold (in Donghua) tassels. Whether it be in the main series or in You Shou Xi Hua, his face always remains unseen or censored.

Sibuxiang also occasionally sheds his antlers, much like normal deer would.[5]

As Sibuxiang’s name translates as "four dissimilarities" or "four different things", his body is believed to be made of different animal parts. Though his forelegs/arms and paws appear to resemble those of a feline, he mostly looks like a deer.

Personality Sibuxiang is a level-headed and pragmatic type of beast. Acting as the mature adult among the main cast, on the surface he comes off as responsible and disciplined, especially when acting as a representative of the Heavenly Court, and managing his store and its employees. His serious demeanor also gives him a bit of a short temper, being quick to be frustrated by his surroundings when things don't go well, especially with any disruptive antics involving himself or his employees, and other beasts they're acquainted with. Despite this, he is also rather carefree and collected, and can be charismatic and persuasive, especially in his occupation interacting with others.

Past his stern and sophisticated attitude, Sibuxiang actually possesses many negative traits as well. He is obsessed with money, acting greedy and frugal, and not wanting to spend much of the Luren Dian shop's budget. He would get uneasy when he finds the shop or its goods are damaged, or having to spend any money after a certain threshold. He also likes to take advantage of any opportunities that will either save money or earn him more money.

Despite his duty to the Heavenly Court, due to having been in leisurely retirement for quite a while, then being immediately thrust back into work, Sibuxiang often acts very lazy and overrelaxed, and is not very motivated to do anything that is not worth his time. He can be subtly selfish and inconsiderate, preferring to do things of his own accord, and usually only tending to requests if he's threatened, or if they match his interests, such as when there's high payment.

Although he hides certain emotions well behind his figurative mask, Sibuxiang cares very deeply for the people he cares about, not wanting to get them in trouble or hurt, especially if he is involved in their conflict, becoming extremely anxious and panicked internally, despite his carefree and coolheaded demeanor on the surface.

This is especially shown with his relationship with Tianlu, whom, despite acting like an annoyed parent to his old colleague, he secretly holds him in high regard and care, being revealed to be rooted in the Pixiu saving his life when they first met, and he in turn was granted the opportunity to save Tianlu's life in return.[9] He is quick to silence anyone and anything about Tianlu's past, and fears for his life at the thought of Tianlu turning on him for keeping him from unlocking his memories.[10] This anxiety further displays itself in his nightmares of failing to protect Tianlu, and being punished by the Heavenly Court.[11] He does feel great remorse for all of these terrible events to have befallen them.[12]

Also, in regards to his masked personality, he's become rather accepting and calmed awhile upon experiencing many great events typically regarding himself, Tianlu, and the Heavenly Court, such as accepting the discovery of being a fraud and replacement to his Qilin predecessor[13], to eventually feeling fine with continuing to keep up appearances towards the Heavenly Court.[14] Though, during the events of when Tianlu ran away from Luren Dian, Sibuxiang's anxiety towards angering the Heavenly Court gradually grows, to the point of skyrocketing when numerous connecting conflicts come his way later on, these revelations sending Sibuxiang into a spiral, to the point of falling into a feverish sickness.[15
