Younger brother of the Gusu Lan clan leader. Together they’re the famed Twin Jades of Gusu (though his brother is a few years older)

As a teenager he's known for being an amazingly skilled cultivator, but also for his stubborn adherence to the many, many rules of the Lan clan, and  his taciturn demeanor. Looks up to his brother, Xichen.

His sword is named Bichen, and he is very skilled with the guqin. Almost always dresses in white. 

​

Wen Qing’s younger brother. He's too young to attend the Lan Clan's lecture, but his sister has brought him with her to Cloud Recesses because she is concerned he'll be mistreated in Nightless City.

​

He has some kind of as-yet unspecified health condition, and a shutter. He’s shy and nervous, but very loyal and willing to stand up for those he loves.

​

Title: Zuwu Jun

​

One of the famed Twin Jades of Gusu, he’s Lan Wangji’s older brother by a couple years and the leader of the Lan clan since their father’s death. He’s also a very skilled cultivator like his brother.

He’s a genuinely good guy, and his younger brother looks up to him. Immediately picks up on the attraction between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, and does everything he can to help it along. 

 

Plays a xiao made of white jade called Leibing (glacier), and his sword is named Shueyue (new moon). 

​

He has correctly deduced that Wen Rouhan is up to something and has some connections to the strange goings-on.

​

​

Teenage Wei Wuxian is energetic and mischievous. Doesn't care for rules, which is going to be a bit of a problem. 

​

He's also very intelligent and inventive, despite his seemingly easy-going attitude. Has a theory of using resentful energy for cultivation during class, which is both an innovative and heretical idea.  

​

He's devoted to his siblings, Jiang Cheng and Yanli, who he'd do anything for. 

​

Hits it off with Nie Huaisang, who he recognizes as a fellow carefree spirit. He's become a bit obsessed with getting Lan Wangji's attention since they fought during his first night at Cloud Recesses...

​

The youngest Yunmeng sibling. He and Wei Wuxian are martial brothers; Lanyi is his biological sister. Heir to the Yunmeng Jiang sect. He's trying very hard to learn the skills he needs to be a good leader in the future.

​

While he's concerned that Wei Wuxian's antics are going to get them all intro trouble and he seems a bit jealous of him at times, he really loves him like a brother. 

​

A peripheral diciple of the Gusu Lan sect. Seems to be a little too eager to prove himself.

(he doesn't wear a headband because he's not a member of the Lan family clan)

​

​

Wen Ning’s older sister, and a favorite of Wen Ruohan who is a distant cousin.

 

She is very skilled with medicine. Intelligent and very cautious. Her number one goal is keeping her brother safe.

She is tasked by Wen Ruohan with finding the shard of Yin Iron hidden in Cloud Recesses. He makes a comment to her about it looking the same as the one from Darfan Mountain, implying that she has some previous experience with the Yin Iron. 

​

Younger brother of the Qinghe Nie clan leader, who he is almost the exact opposite of.

He has a rather nervous demeanor, and has zero interest in cultivating or sword work, preferring to spend his time with his new friends goofing off, and painting fans.

He and Wei Wuxian quickly become school bffs on account of their shared playful demeniors.

​

Meng Yao is his brother's right-hand man, and often serves as a buffer between them.

​

Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian’s older sister.

 

She’s shy and not a particularly good cultivator, but she’s a really good sister. She just wants to have her family all be happy and together.

​

Engaged in an arranged marriage to Jin Zixuan, and is genuinely in love with him.
