While pretending to be Ming Yi, he is quiet and rarely makes his presence known. He is a loner who prefers to be by himself, Shi Qingxuan being the only one who is close to him, so He Xuan is almost always seen beside him in his disguise as Ming Yi. [7] While he was neither social nor friendly, he managed to act well enough and keep a good reputation as a god so that others couldn't tell his real identity. [8] However, even while acting as Ming Yi, he would occasionally slip into a habit of overeating, due to the negative effects his starvation in prison during his human years had on him. [9]
While his persona as a human is largely unknown, he seems to have been a kind, devoted filial man who worked hard and cared greatly for his loved ones. He was also honest, as he refused to bribe the officials when he took the national exam, despite the fact he desperately needed to pass in the hopes of escaping poverty. His ability to adapt to every horrible outcome that happened to him and try to overcome them with his abilities, talents, and hard work shows a dedicated man who did his best to persevere in the face of tragedy, including the loss of his loved ones. [10]

Upon finding out that it was Shi Wudu 's doing by switching his fate with Shi Qingxuan's fate, he decided to pay them back for what they had done. He would go so far as to fake his identity as the god Ming Yi in order to get close to the brothers and exact his vengeance. [6]
His revenge reveals a patient man capable of masking his hatred while waiting for the right time to strike and also someone who is capable of holding deep grudges, albeit only to those who have wronged him. Despite his seemingly cold, merciless behavior towards the brothers, he does understand their involvement in it was different and granted Shi Qingxuan chances to escape misfortune. [6]
Aside from his strong will and intelligence, not too much is known of his current personality. He seems to prefer being alone and doesn't interact with others often, staying under the radar and avoiding attention. Notably, despite being considered one of the Four Calamities, the Heavens rarely paid attention to him as he never caused much harm or damage, [1] implying that while not a benevolent person, he is not evil and doesn't go out of his way to harm others, including those who have done him no wrong.
He Xuan is also the type to pay back what is owed, as helped out the gods and the human array during the final battle because he owed Hua Cheng a massive debt. [11]


Heaven Official's Blessing

As a Supreme, Hua Cheng possesses an extremely powerful shape-shifting ability not even gods can see through. It's said that no one has ever seen his true form because he transformed so often.
The first time he met Xie Lian after the third ascension, his appearance was about sixteen to seventeen, noted to be good-looking in a boyish, devilish way with eyes bright as the stars. He wore casual, maple-red clothes of high quality and had a loose, carefree ponytail. [1]

As Wuming, he was dressed in black robes and neat warrior attire. He had his hair tied up in a high ponytail and also wore a white smiling mask. [5]
As a child and teenager, Hua Cheng wore bandages over the right side of his face at all times, due to being bullied for his appearance. The bandages were in fact covering his right, red eye. Said eye was eventually carved out, made into E-Ming , and now a black eyepatch hides it. [2]

Hua Cheng is charismatic and intelligent, with a nonchalant attitude. He mostly acts in his own benefit and cares little for others. Despite being a ghost king, he is not outright evil, seemingly neutral as he rarely undertakes altruistic actions and barbaric acts. However, he is very gentle towards Xie Lian, treating him with the utmost care and respect and offering him anything he desires. He despises everyone who has wronged his beloved in his eyes, not caring about their objective circumstances and being firm in his distaste for anyone who left or stood against Xie Lian at one point. [6]
Usually, Hua Cheng is very confident in his abilities, though rightfully so as he is one of the most powerful beings. However, he sometimes is deeply insecure, especially when it concerns to his red eye, an issue he still struggles with throughout the series. He has a vulnerable side regarding his feelings for Xie Lian and, because he feels he could not help him in his times of need, thinks he is unworthy of Xie Lian's love, but once he learns his feelings are reciprocated, he is immensely joyful.
Hua Cheng loves collecting rare treasures, having a large collection of antiques and priceless artifacts and weapons, some of which are thousands of years old. Ironically, he treats them rather poorly. He does not care when they are destroyed and has been shown to abuse or misuse them himself on occasion. [7]

When yelling, his voice is said to be sharp and shrill. [2]

While appearing rather friendly and conversing respectfully at first, [1] he has a maniacal personality. Due to being buried and starving for so long, he has already lost his humanity and become delirious. He's delusional and still believes he is human and that he could go home, screaming and crying hysterically in delight when he thought he got the chance to be free. He denied that the skeleton is his own body and that his tongue is anything odd, completely ignoring what has become of him and being mad with joy that he will go home until his death. [2]

He was stubborn with his views and morals, and he would never lower his dignity to achieve something or would resort to unethical means. When the kingdom of Xianle fell, Xie Lian and Feng Xin never told him they obtained medication by busking, or else he would’ve refused them right away. [5] Before his death, he refused to use the gold and silver wares obtained by Xie Lian because his son stole them from another household. [6]


Heaven Official's Blessing

As a daruma doll, he is very round like a squash with black brows and expression like a tiger. It carried a sword on its back, looking angry and very cute. [3]
He used to be a carefree child who prefer to run laps rather than study. He didn't uphold the common sense and the societal expectations of the masses and strongly upheld his personal sense of justice [1] due to his belief in his mentor's doctrine. These traits carried over to adulthood even after he ascended. [4]
Lang Qianqiu is genuine to the point of naivete, as shown by his refusal to use Xie Lian to deceive Hua Cheng . [5] In order to uphold this sense of justice and righteousness, Lang Qianqiu could become extremely reckless, as shown by how he'd break his own arm to even the fighting ground against an incapacitated enemy [6] and rush to a an enemy's stronghold to stop a father selling his own daughter's fate. [2]

Heaven Official's Blessing

Unlike other female Heavenly Officials who wear colorful robes, Ling Wen choose to wear black robes without adornment, making her look serious and competent. [1] She seems constantly tired, sporting prominent eye bags from working too hard. [2]
In her male form, Ling Wen is said to be impressively proper, clad in a black robe and generously blessed with good looks. [3] However, maintaining the male form takes a lot of spiritual energy, and she couldn't keep using the appearance for a long period of time. [4]
Under Hua Cheng's daruma spell, Ling Wen appears to be a dark blue daruma doll with exceedingly serious expression and holding tiny scrolls.

Ling Wen is a Civil God known for being peerlessly competent and effective in her work. She is noted to be very professional and emotionless when speaking. [5] Despite commonly depicted to be polite and capable of staying calm in any situation [6] , Ling Wen displays a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that shone most visibly when she is with Xie Lian [7] or, more prominently, with Pei Ming and Shi Wudu, her two closest friends. [3] [8] In front of the latter two she could be ruthless, laughing at their harmless misfortunes but would also show affection and worry on their behalf. [9] [10]
The Palace of Ling Wen has many temples built in her name but most of these temples revered her as a male god because of the denial and disapproval that a woman can become a good Civil Officer, which is the reason Ling Wen is disliked by other civil gods as female Heavenly Officials are few and are only expected to grind ink, lay out paper and look pretty. Behind her back, they speculated she gained her position through aggressive boot-licking, seducing the higher power, disguising herself as a man or a combination of all three. [3] [6]
It is revealed that Ling Wen can be extremely cunning and merciless. She orchestrated the fall of Jing Wen and thus exact her revenge on him for the abuse she suffered as a subordinate of his. [11] [12] According to the legend of the Brocade Immortal , she was also responsible for convincing a man that had fallen for her to commit suicide. In fact, she used the spiritual device to accelarate the fall of the kingdom that Jing Wen presided over. However, she talks about that man in a soft, kind matter and it is hinted that she planned to give him back a physical body through Tonglu Mountain 's trial, thus the cruel legend and the way she speaks of him to do not correlate well. [13] [14] After Jun Wu 's true identity was revealed, Ling Wen willingly takes his side and becomes his assistant. Although she thus betrays gods she's had centuries of friendship with, she still offers Pei Ming to join them, indicating that she is most likely not acting out of malicious intent towards the others. [15]

Heaven Official's Blessing

Mu Qing is a delicate, pretty man with refined features and soft, silky black hair. [2] [3] He has extremely pale skin and a fair face, along with thin, light lips and obsidian black eyes that shine brightly. His face and form are said to appear "elegant like a gentle scholar" [3] and he usually carries an indifferent, cold expression. [4] [5] Donned in luxurious black robes [6] and carrying an air of grace, Mu Qing is described to give off the impression of a Civil God rather than a Martial God. [4]
He has a mellow and decorous voice in contrast to his usually sharp and sneering words. [7]

Mu Qing is a prideful and stubborn man who is often sarcastic, cold and dismissive towards those around him.
The overarching theme of Mu Qing’s personality is the clash between his scornful exterior and his actual intent. In the eyes of others, he is perceived as someone selfish and cold-hearted, someone who wouldn't perform kind deeds or put himself in danger to help people. [8] Xie Lian describes him as someone narrow-minded, sensitive, petty and skeptical who is constantly offending other people, but still possesses principles. [9]
According to him, Mu Qing is spiteful enough to spit in someone's cup, but not malicious enough to poison it. Mu Qing himself denies this however, disgusted by the idea of spitting into someone’s cup. [9]
Eventually it is shown that Mu Qing is indeed someone caring and thoughtful, yet due to his usually cold, sneering demeanor, people assume the worst of him whenever he does try to do good or they simply don’t believe him.
Examples of such instances would be people accusing him of theft when he tried to bring his mother cherries, [10] being arrested for supposedly causing Cuo Cuo’s death although he tried to help the child’s mother [11] or him being suspected of trying to murder Feng Xin when Mu Qing struck him unconscious in an attempt to carry him out the burning Heavenly Capital since Feng Xin refused to leave on his own. [12]
Mu Qing also carries false conceptions of others. He is convinced that Xie Lian, as well as Feng Xin, both despise him, [13] wouldn’t hesitate to attack him [14] and wouldn’t believe the good intent behind his actions. [15]
He is someone who deeply loves his own life and fears death, [13] but still willingly puts himself in harm's way for those he cares about despite of that. He refused Jun Wu’s demand to hurt Xie Lian although Jun Wu is incredibly superior in power. [12] In addition, Mu Qing threw also himself into battle with the lava creatures to buy Xie Lian time, aware of the incredible danger. [13]
He has a short temper and is quick to berate others, but his irritation was truly ignited when someone reminded him of when he was a servant under Xie Lian. [16] During his years as a servant, he was frequently bullied and looked down upon by the other disciples and his teacher, thus he was forced to rely on Xie Lian for protection. [10] In the end he has managed to work through this and is no longer easily offended by these reminders. [17]
Mu Qing has a pragmatic nature and adapts to the circumstances, basing his decisions on the long-term effects. This was shown when he explained his perspective on the deceased general whose tomb they discovered, saying you have to kill to survive as a soldier even if you feel it's an injustice. [18] Another case would be Mu Qing not defending Xie Lian on the spiritual mountain and asking him to leave in order to not risk his place in the Heavenly Court, so he could later help Xie Lian and Feng Xin with the resources he gained access to. [19]
Mu Qing is a person who focuses heart and mind on his cultivation, expanding his territory and growing believers. [20]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Nan Feng is a young man said to look around eighteen to nineteen years old like Fu Yao, although Nan Feng is slightly taller. Strapping and unbridled, he has an overall brightly handsome appearance. While his brows are deep, his eyes are said to carry a sort of unrestrained wildness. [1] [2]

Nan Feng is a serious, straightforward and confident youth. He's shown to be concerned about the well-being of others, but is also someone to quickly become annoyed and lose his temper. [2] [3] He is often seen cursing and yelling, acting and speaking impulsively rather than thoughtfully. [4]
Although he has a forceful nature, he is willing to listen to others [5] and instinctively protects the surrounding people, even at the risk of his own safety. [6] He is noted to have a sharp thought process and not be careless about work affairs, similarly to Fu Yao. [2]
He becomes extremely nervous when around women, freezing and becoming pale quickly when in their proximity. [2]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Pei Ming is a tall man of around twenty-six to twenty-seven years. He has an exceedingly handsome, graceful and charming appearance, being the type that "could definitely steal hearts" . [4]
His voice sounds lyrical, adding to the alluring characteristics. [4]

He is a well known womanizer and flirt among the three realms. However, he dislikes strong-willed and forceful women like Xuan Ji . [5] In addition, it's stated that Pei Ming is overall hard to describe when it came to women. [6] While he loves them and is shown to treat them with tender and protective care, never to foster false hopes or play with feelings, [7] he also has quite traditional expectations of women like cooking skills. [6]
He was also frequently embarrassed by having to be saved by the Rain Master multiple times due to their history of when they were mortals, [8] even refusing her offer of borrowing her sword because of it. [9]
Pei Ming is a man who takes great arrogance and pride in his power and success. [1] Thus, he tends to be insensitive and look down on others, for example telling Xie Lian to ask about Hua Cheng 's background despite it being rude to ask about a demon king's history. [10] He's quite stubborn and confident which doesn't make him easily frightened. He almost always keeps his composure even when faced with exceedingly dangerous situations such as the fight against Jun Wu . [11] He has a protective nature as well despite his opinions on people, shielding his comrades without hesitation on Tonglu Mountain . [12]
Despite his vanity, he's a humorous [6] and laid back person, willing to cooperate even with people like Hua Cheng. He's quite suspicious of Xie Lian in the beginning too, although he gradually warms up to him and becomes allies with him as well. He's even supportive of his and Hua Cheng's romantic relationship. [13]
Pei Ming is an honest person, forthright and genuine in the way he speaks and acts. He never denounced any affairs he had or pretended they never happened. He's known to remember the women he has a past with and everyone who he indeed had an affair with would be guaranteed a life of wealth and care. Hua Cheng himself stated that Pei Ming wasn't a shady man. [14] His earnesty is also reflected in the way he fights, as he stated he doesn't do ambushes or sneak attacks [15] and refused Xuan Ji's offer of betraying her nation for him. [5]
He's not fond of talking about his past and the story behind "The General Who Broke His Sword". [16]


Heaven Official's Blessing

"Void of any killing intent, and full of undisturbed calmness." [1]
Pei Xiu is a young, tall man with a fair, handsome appearance and a countenance that is "peaceful like a cold jade" . [1]

Pei Xiu is a proud and composed young man. He takes his tasks as a Martial God seriously and is not very emotional. As the story progresses his facade drops a little, however, and his more silly side emerges, especially after he is poisoned by Xie Lian's food. He is determined, insisting on fighting despite barely being able to speak due to the aforementioned food poisoning.
He holds deep respect and admiration for Pei Ming and is friendly towards Ban Yue and Xie Lian .


Heaven Official's Blessing

Qi Rong is a good-looking young man who shares a resemblance to his cousin, Xie Lian. While not many of their features look alike, their noses, lips and the contours of their jaws are similar in shape. He has high, sharp brows and thin, slanted eyes. It's said that one could tell not to mess with him purely by looking at his face. [3]
When he was around fifteen to sixteen years old, Qi Rong was finely-dressed with a light turquoise brocade and necklace. [4] Once he had reached the age of seventeen to eighteen his face became broader, and he finally gained an air of nobility, appearing much more mature. [2]

Qi Rong is an extremely crass, emotionally immature, vulgar person who is devoid of empathy. His crude personality proceeds him, with many people calling him crude and boorish over the centuries. He has grown to resent those kinds of insults, despite never making an effort to change his behaviour. [3] He makes no attempts to control his emotions or anger. Typically yelling, spouting insults, throwing childish tantrums or simply being disrespectful to his surroundings, sometimes even finding his own sardonic remarks amusing and laughing maniacally. [3] [5] Qi Rong is also shown to be sarcastic at times. [6]
During a flashback of their childhood, Xie Lian speculates that the reason for Qi Rong's chaotic attitude might be rooted in his abusive childhood prior to his mother's return to the Palace of Xianle , noting reports that the latter's father, a former palace guard, began to exhibit his "true nature," revealing a personality similar to Qi Rong's soon after leaving the refined palace environment.
His outrageous and immature actions he is subconsciously unaware of when to act how thus he would usually end up causing more trouble or making more enemies and haters around him causing him to be ignored by people including Xie Lian .
He often acts spoiled and bratty, enraged when things don't go his way or him not getting what he wants. Especially in his younger years as a mortal, he was incredibly pampered and considered himself above those of lower status, such as Feng Xin and Mu Qing . [7] [8]
While he doesn't seem to hold respect for anyone, he does fear certain people, such as Hua Cheng and Jun Wu . [9] The only exception to his extreme lack of any kind of decency is Guzi. While he does mistreat him, he also does care about him and recognizes him as family. [10] [11]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Quan Yizhen is a tall youth around eighteen or nineteen years old with a straight nose and deep brows. Another distinctive feature is his raven, curly hair like a lion's mane. [4]
Due to his great presence, he appears way taller than he already is. [5]

Quan Yizhen is said to be a lone wolf. [3] He doesn't interact with other Heavenly Officials and frequently misses discussions in the Heavenly Court , coming off as spoiled and immature. [6] He is also known for having a short temper and is known to pick up fights even with his worshipers. [4] Quan Yizhen has possessed this excessive love for fighting since his early childhood. [1]
He struggles with empathizing with others, [7] unintentionally being insensitive although he is sometimes even trying to do good. This was especially noticeable during the time Yin Yu was still a Heavenly Official, as he frequently failed to read Yin Yu's feelings and consider the implications of his actions such as asking Jun Wu to bring Yin Yu along on the patrol of the best Martial Gods despite Yin Yu not being qualified. [8] He's not of high intellect either and isn't aware of what's happening around him in most situations, described to be ignorant of the ways of the world and rather eccentric. [3]
He doesn't seem to care about his reputation or his status as a Heavenly Official, even stating he dislikes the Heavenly Court. [9] He is not interested in the fate of most others as well. However, whenever Yin Yu is around, Quan Yizhen immediately and repeatedly tries to approach him. [10] He noticeably craves attention from him, and he's even seen breaking out into tears and sobbing hysterically after he realized Yin Yu's true feelings and him getting injured severely, making Yin Yu the only one to break Quan Yizhen's seemingly egocentric facade. [11]
Another remarkable trait of his is his courage. It was already evident as a child when he had no fear of picking fights with older disciples, [1] but it became truly apparent when he was one of the few willing to face the Heavenly Capital controlled by Jun Wu head on. Although the Heavenly Officials believed it was to save them, it is implied he rushed into battle to get revenge against Jun Wu, which reinforces him mainly pursuing his own objectives. [12]


Heaven Official's Blessing

She was a noble beauty and had a very affluent, well-maintained appearance even after her son had grown up. She was able to keep this youthful look due to her wealth and status as the queen, [1] but during the fall of her nation this young face vanished and became hidden by heavy makeup. [2]
During Xie Lian's banishment, she thinned quite a bit and only wore plain clothes. It was different to her appearance of the past, but she still had a face full of delight. [3]
In her coffin, her body was dressed in elegant, black attire woven with the silk of an extremely rare worm. The silk came from a small, foreign nation and the process to weave it into a dress required intricate craftsmanship. Herbal satchels are also interwoven into the clothing. This attire possesses the ability to preserve a corpse for thousands of years and thus the bodies wouldn't rotten. [4]

The queen was a kind and compassionate woman who loved the ones she cared about deeply. Even besides her relatives, she easily treated others with familiarity. She was quick to worry about people and became anxious when her loved ones had disputes, being the one to mediate between her husband and her son for example. [5]
Her empathy was frequently shown through her attempts at making those around her feel better and being very understanding, but because of this excessive benignity she did not possess a strong will or the ability to raise her voice. She frequently oversaw her nephew's wrongdoings with the explanation that no one could restrain him [6] and was obedient to her family's demands. [7] Although she treasured them so much, she also built up the courage to give her relatives serious advice sometimes or remind them of things they didn't consider before. [8] [7]
The queen enjoyed luxury items and wealth, [1] but she didn't seem bothered when she was no longer of high status and was even delighted to try her hand at household chores like cooking and cleaning. [3] To add, although she had an important position, she was unknowledgeable in the matters of politics and crisis management. [9]


Heaven Official's Blessing

He usually remains in his animal form, a buff black ox with a strong, solid body and long snout. [1]
When transformed human, he takes the appearance of a tall, bare-backed strong man with well-defined muscles and rather handsome looks. He's said to have a stubborn expression and a steel nose-ring hooked through his nose. [1] [2]

He's a sociable, friendly soul with a lot of confidence, not afraid to call out the behavior of others or talk back to people of high status, such as Xie Lian and Pei Ming . [1] [3] Even when he first comes to meet people, he's easy-going and willing to help them out. [1] However, he's also quite stubborn and petty, making sarcastic remarks and picking on people he doesn't like. [2] [4]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Shi Qingxuan is a person with clear, bright eyes and a spirited expression. His posture is graceful and elegant as well. He tends to wear white often and has a white jaded belt where his Wind Master Fan is usually tucked in. It's also mentioned that he carries a long sword on his back and always holds a whisk that he swings around when talking, most likely to give his speech more expression. [2]
As the younger sibling of the God of Wealth, he wears many priceless treasures: a longevity lock on a golden chain, an agate ring on his finger, some pearls on his boots; even his whisk's hairs come from a spiritual beast and the sandalwood handle is so exquisite that it lasted for more than 800 years. [3]
He tends to switch between his male and female forms, although he is stronger in his female form as he is usually worshiped as a woman. In that form 'she' is described as a charming, sensual, and delicate woman with rosy lips.
When he fell from heaven and became human, one of his arms and one of his legs were crippled. Furthermore, he was so covered in grime that he was unrecognizable to his close friend Xie Lian at first glance. However, his eyes remained as bright as they had always been. [4]

"Much fitting for his title, his personality was like the wind." [1]
He is a kind, caring, and compassionate person. He is mischievous and enjoys teasing and messing with others, but never out of malicious intent. He tends to falter under pressure, going mad and laughing like crazy and spouting nonsense. [5] However, despite this, when his friends need him, he overcomes his fears and accomplishes what he sets out to do.
He is very friendly and popular, managing to befriend many Heavenly Officials and humans no matter their status, and is described by Xie Lian as someone who can bring others to him naturally due to his charisma. He is also very generous, casually offering thousands of merits to other Heavenly Officials. [6]
He is also an honest, moral person and is deeply loyal to his friends and family. He maintains a cheerful personality even in the worst of circumstances, as he playfully jokes with Xie Lian when he meets him even as he himself is not in great condition later on. [7]
In matters of sex and love, Shi Qingxuan appears a little naive and sheltered. Though always supportive of their relationship, it takes him a long time to understand the nature of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian’s closeness, first calling them "sworn brothers". [8] Later, though he knows they are a couple, he doesn’t understand what could have caused an essence of evil to be inside of Xie Lian. [9]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Shi Wudu is a man with a delicate and handsome face, [3] whose brows and eyes are said to look quite similar to his brother's, although his eyes clearly told he didn't care for anyone. He commonly dresses in white robes and always carries his Water Master Fan with him. [4]

Shi Wudu is a person with a great sense of pride, [5] as well as someone who is extremely stubborn and not to be picked on easily. [1] His title of "Water Tyrant" was earned due to him capsizing any ship that did not give him offerings. [6] He usually has a collected and composed demeanor, strict and quick to call out others on their behavior. With his extremely authoritative presence, others obey his words instantly. [7] Despite that, he's seen being more casual around his close friends, Ling Wen and Pei Ming. [2] [8]
He is not easily shaken by danger or events taking place around him either, but he's extremely protective of his younger brother, which causes him to act reckless at times. [9]
Shi Wudu considers death better than experiencing or watching prolonged suffering and pain. [5]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Tian Sheng is said to look around seventeen to eighteen years old with big eyes and thick eyebrows. He was born with a strong and dignified appearance. [1]
In the manhua, he has dark hair tied up into a half ponytail. He wears beige and white robes, along with hoop earrings. His facial features described in the novel are discernible in his design, and he has faint freckles as well.

He's an enthusiastic and kind young man. He tends to be loud and direct, but respects his elders and lowers his voice when told to do so. He's quick to warm up to people, considering others to be familiar after exchanging a few words. Like many merchants and younger men, he's full of curiosity and often questions new information he receives. [1]
Tian Sheng values the lives of others and uses his courage to pursue the well-being of his peers. He's also quite smart, figuring out where to find the Shanyue Fern just by hearing Hua Cheng 's story about it. [2]


Heaven Official's Blessing

White No-Face is a tall youth and appears to be seventeen or eighteen years old. [1] He is donned in a white funeral garb with wide sleeves and a white mask showing a half-laughing, half-crying face. [2] [3] He also carries a Spirit Calling cloth flag in his hand. [4] His voice is crisp and bright, seemingly belonging to a young man. [1]
Underneath however, White No-Face hides a face marred with the Human Face Disease , being infected by the spirits of his three vassals whom he murdered by throwing them into The Kiln. The design of half-crying half-laughing was inspired by the expressions of the vassals that linger on his face. [5]

White No-Face possesses a taunting, manipulative personality, best examined through his repeated emotional abuse of Xie Lian . He is incredibly obsessive and controlling, but also intelligent. [6]
With the power to orchestrate events and knowing what strings to pull to terrorize someone mentally, he pursues his goal of making Xie Lian realize that ones heart cannot remain pure and uncorrupted after suffering. Even though he himself isn't actively doing much whenever he appears, he is able to leave a traumatizing impact through his mocking and haunting nature. [2] [3] [6]
He's quick to use the mental instability and vulnerability of others to his own advantage. For example when he comforted Xie Lian when he was in a miserable and sorrowful state. He used the moment to reinforce the idea that everyone else in the world wants to do him harm and is against Xie Lian. [7] Another case would be when he was able to persuade the people in the temple to continuously stab Xie Lian, using their fear and his eloquence to fulfill his desires. [8]
Despite how he portrays himself as caring towards Xie Lian, he's a vicious and cruel person. He languishes in the pain of others, even being playful with their trauma and fears as he is seen cackling, laughing and even transforming into different people as a further way to ridicule and manipulate. [2] [3] [1]
Beneath his cunning and intimidating exterior however, he's an extremely sensitive man who is quickly angered when told off or when things do not go his way. [9] [10] His entire being was born due to a short phrase that personally offended him, making his own deep emotional and psychological troubles evident. [11]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Xiao-Ying is a small, petite girl with unattractive features. She has a crooked nose, as well as slanted eyes. Her face is flat, and she has an overall mediocre appearance. [1]

While Xiao-Ying is a timid and soft-spoken girl, [1] she is also courageous. Despite being harassed and assaulted by multiple men, she continuously tried to advise and warn them. [2] She also defended Lang Ying and shows no hesitation in trying to protect others, even though she is aware of her lack of strength. [3]
She is kind and helpful, as she willingly looks after Lang Ying and helps Xie Lian disguise himself as a bride. [2]


Heaven Official's Blessing

"His golden mask fell off, revealing the young and handsome face previously hidden behind it. [1]
In terms of appearance, Xie Lian was considered the peerless beauty of Xianle. His body is described as “smooth and fair like jade” [2] and even though his physical strength is formidable, his body doesn't look "tough" [3] .
He is a handsome individual who currently wears a conical bamboo hat in honor of a nameless farmer who showed him genuine kindness and compassion at his lowest point in life. He is also dressed in simple, white Taoist robes [4] and bandages to hide his Cursed Shackles. [2] One of the bandages he wears is his weapon, Ruoye . [5]
In his younger years as a prince, he wore extravagant clothing and also two red pearl earrings, one of which Hua Cheng is currently in possession of. The layers of his God Pleasing Crown Prince robes and the accessories each hold a different meaning as well. The white outer robe symbolizes "divine purity", while the red inner garb symbolizes "canonical tradition". His golden crown stands for royal power and wealth. The white plumes hidden beneath the heart symbolize "flight to ascension" and the loose cordon ribbons along the sleeves symbolize "to carry all lives".

As a child of Xianle royalty, Xie Lian was known to be pampered, spoiled and beloved since he was very young. [6] He was kind and determined to help the common people, no matter how it would affect his own status. Though firm in his goal, the issues of the mortal realm often turned out to be more complicated than expected. He pursued multiple attempts at saving his kingdom that did not serve as long-lasting solutions, often faced with the reality that his ideas were difficult to achieve and that he did not have the answer for what his nation needed. [7] [8]
Xie Lian's futile efforts led him to become incessantly worried and feeling powerless. [8] The continuous frustration and desperation he experienced caused him to even have outbursts of anger at times. Instances of this would be him vigorously trying to kill Lang Ying or him lashing out against Human Face Disease patients. [9] His confidence wavered more and more and during his kingdom's complete fall, he  spiraled into a sorrowful and helpless state, having been humiliated by his own people and lost everything he owned. [10]


Heaven Official's Blessing

Xuan Ji is an extremely beautiful, alluring woman with an oval face and arched eyebrows. She has long, black hair and very long, sharp nails which she uses as a weapon, like when she ripped out a young lord's skull from his scalp during the fight on Yu Jun Mountain. She's dressed in red bridal robes that are ragged and threadbare. [1]
Due to her broken legs, Xuan Ji moves by walking on her knees. [2]

Xuan Ji has an extremely hysterical and fierce personality. [2] She is obsessed with Pei Ming and has become so delusional that she killed innocent brides because she was jealous that they got to happily marry, whilst she was ignored. She's very vicious and cold-blooded, killing people brutally and without hesitation, [1] yet she was often unaware of what was actually happening around her as she could only think about Pei Ming. However, when her focus is shifted to anything else, she is noted to be considerably more cool-headed and intelligent.


Heaven Official's Blessing

Yin Yu is a neat and tidy youth with a handsome, but forgettable appearance. [3] He wears black robes along with a mask of a ghost face that resembles a woeful smile to hide his identity. He also has a Cursed Shackle on his wrist. [4]
As a mortal youth, Yin Yu had bright eyes and a glowing, spirited face. With an air of bold confidence, he stood tall with a straight back and possessed an overall impressive appearance. [5]

Yin Yu is a kind and quiet person. He has virtually no sense of presence to the point that very few notice him when mixed in a crowd. This has worked to his advantage as it allows him to sneak by others or infiltrate areas most would have difficulty. Despite being humble and a hard worker, he has strongly mixed feelings towards Quan Yizhen and dislikes having to ever come into contact with him, even being disturbed at the mention of his name.
Yin Yu is a very loyal and humble servant and is noted by Xie Lian to be a good worker that was unfortunate enough to be banished. He admits that while he hates Quan Yizhen, when given the chance to ascend to the heavens by stealing Quan Yizhen's spiritual power, he still did not fall to temptation. He never wanted to murder him and did not want to become a God by stealing someone else's hard work. Even in his human days, it has been shown that despite being raised with a high status in a big name sect, he did not hold arrogance over his position and status and was able to recognize the worth and potential of anyone. He never believed status defined a person and that hard work was the most important.
However, he was always jealous of Quan Yizhen as Yin Yu admits that he himself was never anything special. He tried to be at least a kind and perfect person, but is aware that he wasn't able to do so. Despite sacrificing himself and being selfless, he held deep regrets and was frustrated, which Yin Yu despised about himself. Nonetheless, as Xie Lian has stated, Yin Yu is a man of truly strong moral who will not harm others for petty jealousy or steal someone else's power, being someone who is truly compassionate and just.


Heaven Official's Blessing

Yushi Huang is a woman with clear eyes and a calm, quiet expression. [1] She wears verdant robes and has a scar across her neck that she acquired after slitting her throat with a sword. It causes her to speak slower than others, but her voice is still serene and tranquil. [2]
She usually carries her sacred sword, Yulong , [1] but also possesses the Rain Master Hat , a spiritual device that can collect and move rain. [3] Yushi Huang is usually accompanied by her tall, black ox that takes the place of her right-hand man. [3] [1]

Yushi Huang is renowned to be a recluse and live isolated from the heavens, so much so that no one in the Heavenly Court knows of her interests. [3] She rarely appears and simply works on the fields deep within the mountains. [4]
Though she's not fond of meeting people, Yushi Huang is a compassionate soul as she knew Xie Lian's plight and agreed to lend her spiritual device to aid him in the time of need. [3] She is always willing and quick to help out, even if it means to go against authority. [5]
She bears no grudge against people she's had conflicts with, willing to save them without hesitation. [6] She even performed a passing service to Xuan Ji after she dispersed. [7]
Even though she doesn't have many acquaintances in the Heavenly Court, none who knows her spoke badly of her with the exception of Pei Ming . [4]
As a goddess, she forbade her followers from using their money for lavish worship. Because of that, her followers would use fresh fruits and vegetables as an offering. She also disliked letting food go to waste so even those would be retaken after a few days by the followers to be eaten. [8]

Hell Blade

Senua is a young woman with fair skin, pale blue eyes and long dark brown hair. While Senua is slender, she is muscular and has light scars throughout her skin, some more notable on her face. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail and clumped together in plaits and locs coated in lime and adorned with beads. Senua and her people (the ones who lived in her village before abandoning it to the Northmen) were part of a people known as the Picts .

Senua exhibits a very reserved and somewhat meek personality, which stems from her years of isolation and abuse. While on her journey to Helheim , Senua has many experiences that cause her to panic or be afraid, such as when she is trapped in the dark or escaping an inferno. Despite the unpleasantness throughout the journey, she also displays dogged determination, pushing through treacherous landscapes and trials to reach her goal. Whenever she is threatened by an enemy , she readily draws her sword and faces them in combat. Senua is also capable of expressing anger and distress towards obstacles, often in her interactions with the Darkness .
Senua suffers from deep trauma originating from her early childhood, which began to escalate the early stages of her psychosis. Senua's psychosis manifests in both auditory, visual, and sensory hallucinations, leaving her constantly plagued by various female voices dubbed by the game devs as "The Furies". The voices are her guides; they serve as evasive thoughts, doubts, warnings, and even sometimes encouraging. Senua has a tenuous relationship with her voices, occasionally telling them to leave her alone, but she will also listen to their advice in combat and in solving puzzles. For most of the game, she sees the voices as part of a " curse ," sometimes trying to fight it. In addition to her psychotic hallucinations, Senua suffers from delusions – a belief maintained even when firmly contradicted by reason or logic. Senua also interacts with her visual hallucinations even when she knows they may not be real, speaking to them when they manifest as people from her past.
Senua also suffers from depression and guilt caused by Dillion 's murder, believing that it is her fault for Dillion's death due to her "darkness" inflicting the village.  Ridden with this guilt, Senua decides to take his skull (which the Celts believed housed the soul) to Helheim in a desperate attempt to bargain for his soul, fueled by Druth's tales of the Northmen and their mythology. Senua obtains the dark rot from Hela, offering herself in place of Dillion.  Through Druth's words, she goes through the gates of Valravn and Surtr, eventually through the trials of Odin to restore the god-killing sword, Gramr . Along her quest, Senua is forced to face the memories of her childhood, the abuse of her father, meeting Dillion, joining his group, and her eventual self-exile.
By the time Senua reaches the final door to Helheim, she has rediscovered a long, repressed memory of her father's fanatic beliefs that drove him to burn her mother alive to cure her of her "darkness". Senua's unyielding and loyal nature pushes her to the brink of death, remaining defiant to Hela despite her admission that she has "nothing else to give" to the goddess. It is then Senua learns to shed not only her guilt for Dillion, but to recognize that what her father had raised her to think was a lie. And while Senua will always be plagued by her "darkness", she learns to say goodbye to Dillion and remembers what her mother has told her to look at the world with bright eyes. By this, Senua has come to accept that she cannot change her situation nor the fate of a loved one and continues on her quest, with seemingly the only real friends she has left, the voices.

As her alias is self-explanatory, she was a cannibal who had a taste for male flesh whenever she killed them after first making them succumb to their sexually temptations with her beauty. In addition, her appetite also causes her to see men as food rather than people, as she viewed Shion as being an "Onden" (隠田), and can start to feel cravings whenever she meets a man that comes off as being different from her other victims, seeing it as a chance to "try something new". [2]

Aoki presents himself to be a loyal samurai to the shogun. However, despite being of service to him, Aoki views the shogun as a foolish and not very bright individual. He thought that the shogun's idea of reducing the number of criminals who were candidates for the Shinsenkyō expedition was meaningless since the massacre would only end with badly injured participants. He also thought it was idiotic of the shogun to decide hiring a squad of Iwagakure for the second expedition team since the numbers would not guarantee success. Despite his low opinion of the shogun, Aoki knows he cannot step out of line and tries to keep his thoughts to himself. He is shown to be capable of fully grasping situations. While boarding the ship carrying the second landing party, Aoki found that it was obvious that, based on the number of Iwagakure shinobi, the Iwagakure chief had his own motives on the mission. He also could not tolerate misbehavior, as he announced to a few criminals that they were guarantee a place on the shogun's mission if they were to kill Gabimaru since the shinobi refused to participant in the massacre as instructed. After being baffled by Kumokiri following Kiyomaru's irrational order in committing suicide, Aoki angrily demanded to both Kiyomaru and the Iwagakure shinobi to return back to their positions to avoid anymore conflict.


Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku

Chōbei is a tall, lean, muscular man with messy blonde hair and a single braid on his right side. He had very noticeable facial scars on the right side of his face, including a missing eye, which he self-inflicted to protect his brother in the past. During the mission to retrieve the Elixir of Life , he initially wore a torn black coat over a torn red kimono with a beaded necklace, bracelets on his wrists and slippers.
During his travel to Hōrai, Chōbei stole the clothing of the Dōshi he defeated. After his fight with Gabimaru, the robes became charred and ragged from the shinobi's fire ninjutsu .
After allying with Lord Tensen, Chōbei switched to wearing a black robe bearing a flower in the middle encircled by leaves, a belt strap, white pants, and boots. He was also given a dao for combat.
When accessing the Tao of the Waitanhua flower, Chōbei's skin became pitch black with visible veins, tentacle vines sprouted from his body, his hair stood up, both his eyes become blank, his scar turned into black markings and spreads across his face, and he grew short claws on his fingers and toes.
Upon being resurrected, Chōbei's body decreased in stature, becoming about the size of a toddler. The size of his scar has been reduced and his signature braid reaches down to his shoulder. For his attire, Chōbei is seen wearing a Chinese robe, pants, and sandals. When accessing his Waitanhua Flower Tao Mode, Chōbei's body would grow back to its original height, which he found annoying since it would only end up stretching out his clothes in the process.

Chōbei is a ruthless individual who chooses to live by his own rules. He is extremely barbaric as he would rather resort to violence than talk things through with his enemies, such as when he attacked one of the Dōshi when it attempted to settle matters without having to use force to send him and Tōma back down to the pit. He is also very sadistic whenever he engaged in fights with his enemies, which was made apparent by his brother, stating that Chōbei always stuck to taking on the role of the villain, and holds grudges to those that have bested him. A great example being how he smiled while continuing to pour bottles of Water Tao on Ju Fa's head to have him slowly die while reminding him how he started the fight with him and his brother. Chōbei is very protective of Tōma ever since he was born and goes to great lengths to make sure that he is safe. Like his younger brother, Chōbei is guided by his own philosophy that adapting to one's environment is the key to surviving in life.
Although he tended to act like a brute, Chōbei is a rational thinker who quickly determines the best course of action in a serious situation. After being captured by Rien, Chōbei knew that he was outmatched by the Tensen if he attempted to fight back and made the decision to cooperate with Lord Tensen in order to reunite with Tōma. Chōbei was also willing to cooperate with Gantetsusai and Fuchi to defeat the Kishikai form of Ju Fa and Tao Fa, as well as help guide them on how they should go about it, and worked together to find an escape route off the island. He is also very clever as he used flattery to have the highly prideful Gantetsusai cooperate with his plan and stored two bottles of Water Tao in his stomach for when the time came for him to have a rematch with Gabimaru.
