The Characters
Wei Wuxian
Wei Ying
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. Brings up his 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.
He and Lan Wangji have agreed to find the remaining pieces of the Yin Iron to seal them in the Cold Pond.
Lan Wangji
Lan Zhan
Younger brother of the Gusu Lan clan leader, Lan Xichen. Together they’re the famed Twin Jades of Gusu.
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.
He and Wei Wuxian have pledged to find the remaining pieces of the Yin Iron and seal them in the Cold Pond at Cloud Recesses.
Wen Qing
Wen Ning’s older sister, and a favorite of Wen Ruohan who is a distant cousin. Originally from the Dafan Mountains, where her family still lives.
She is very skilled with medicine. Intelligent and very cautious. Her number one goal is keeping her brother safe.
Jiang Cheng
The youngest of the Yunmeng siblings; he and Wei Wuxian are adopted 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.
Has a crush on Wen Qing, and bought a comb for her that he has yet to give to her.
Lan Xichen
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.
Nie Huaisang
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 friends goofing off, and painting fans.
He and Wei Wuxian quickly become school bffs on account of their shared playful demeniors.
Jiang Yanli
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.
Had been engaged in an arranged marriage to Jin Zixuan, and is genuinely in love with him, but the marriage was called off after Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan came to blows.
Wen Chao
Wen Ruohan's arrogant and sadistic younger son. Has been tasked with finding the Yin Iron, but his lack of results is frustrating his father.
He's now supposed to follow Xue Yang to Yueyang to keep an eye on him, but instead he's following Lan Wangji.
He doesn't trust Wen Qing and the feeling is mutual.
Granny Wen
An old woman from the Dafan Mountains, she tries to warn Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan and Nie Huisang about something strange that's been going on.
She is a relative of Wen Qing.
