Meet the characters from Throne of Seal

Feng Xiu

Feng Xiu is that smirking, sharp-edged strategist who always seems three moves ahead and yet somehow forgets where he put his sword half the time. Stoic on the surface but with these tiny, ridiculous soft spots — like he keeps a secret stash of children’s drawings and pretends he doesn’t — and honestly it makes him oddly endearing. He commands respect without yelling, which is suspiciously effective, and he has this weird habit of quoting poetry during battle planning sessions. Also, he drinks tea the wrong way on purpose? Or is that just a myth I heard from a side character—either way, there’s depth and a hint of chaos under that composed exterior.

Sheng Cai Er

Sheng Cai Er is bright, impulsive, and somehow the emotional nucleus of every scene she’s in; you can tell she feels things ten times harder than most people and then apologizes for it, which is adorable and frustrating. She’s fiercely loyal, speaks her mind (often loudly), and will probably drag you into a ridiculous midnight rescue mission because feelings. She’s also sneakily competent—like, pretends to be clumsy but then does acrobatics in a storm—and has a laugh that makes other characters give up and follow her. Oh, and she collects mismatched buttons? No, wait, that was a rumor. Either way, she’s chaos wrapped in a scarf of sincerity.

Long Xing Yu

Long Xing Yu gives the vibe of someone who was carved from moonlight and very bad decisions, elegant and slightly aloof but with a hair-trigger temper that cooks up fireworks. He’s meticulous, unnervingly confident, and loves details—the kind of person who labels his books and will correct your posture with a pointed look. Despite the chill he projects, he secretly keeps a playlist of silly songs and blames it on “research,” which is both endearing and suspicious. He’s a born leader, a little cruel at times in that efficient way, but also the type who shows up when it matters, even if he will be dramatic about it.

Bai Yue

Bai Yue is soft-spoken like a midnight breeze but with a backbone of iron; don’t be fooled by the delicate hands and quiet smile, she can snap a plan into motion in three breaths. She has this calming presence that makes people confess secrets without realizing it, which is both therapeutic and terrifying. Loves herbs, collects jars, and may have a pet crow that judges your fashion choices — I think. She’s fiercely principled and annoyingly wise for her age, the kind of friend who will both bake you bread and lecture you on ethics while you eat it.

Han Yu

Han Yu is the unpretentious, stubborn realist who pretends not to care but organizes everything behind the scenes like a one-person army of sticky notes. He’s pragmatic, dryly funny, and very, very dependable—like a lighthouse that sometimes tells bad jokes. He has old scars and older stories, hoards maps for reasons he never explains, and harbors a secret fondness for extremely spicy snacks that contradicts his calm demeanor. He’ll grumble, refuse help, then show up with tea and bandages because he just can’t help being useful.

Li Xin

Li Xin bursts into every room with ridiculous optimism and a grin that refuses to quit; she’s wildly inventive and sometimes dangerously optimistic, making plans that involve glue, fireworks, and three unlikely animals. She’s brilliant in a messy, scatterbrained kind of way and very protective of her friends (and her questionable inventions). Has an uncanny ability to make enemies awkwardly like her, which is both a skill and a hazard. Also, she might be addicted to tiny ribbons and will absolutely use them in battle if only to be dramatic—don’t be surprised.

Long Hao Chen

Long Hao Chen is the steady, relentless force—quiet, principled, kind of infuriatingly reliable—and you notice him when he’s gone. He’s loyal to a fault, tactical but humane, the kind of warrior who reads letters by candlelight and remembers birthdays. He’s got this thing where he hums old tunes under his breath while polishing armor, which is oddly soothing and slightly creepy if you catch him at it. He’s not flashy, rarely shows off, but when he makes a decision everyone knows it was the right one—eventually, after a dramatic pause and a long stare.
