Meet the characters from White Snake

Blanca

Oh man, Blanca is the heart-on-her-sleeve chaos who somehow manages to be both utterly ferocious and adorably clueless — like, she’ll fight a monster and then forget where she put her shoe. She’s brave, stubborn, allergic to bad coffee (probably), and the kind of person who’d give you her last scarf even if she actually needed it. There’s this fierce curiosity about who she is and where she belongs, and that makes her do wild things that are simultaneously reckless and painfully sincere. Also, tiny detail: she collects mismatched buttons for reasons she can’t quite explain to anyone (including herself).

Ah Xuan

Ah Xuan is the painfully serious type who pretends not to care but totally does — the steely protector with a soft, very secret smile that appears at the worst possible dramatic moments. He’s disciplined, righteous, low-key tragic, and somehow very good at making tea while planning a fight, which is a mood. Loyal to a fault, always doing the responsible thing even if it costs him, but sometimes you catch him humming to himself (yes, really) and suddenly he’s not so unflappable. Also, he insists on being annoyed by silliness but will rescue every stray cat in town, because of course he will.

Verta

Verta is this slick, slippery enigma who speaks in half-riddles and full confidence — elegant, maybe a little sinister, but never boring; the type who wears power like perfume. She’s cunning and persuasive, loves chess more than people (but don’t tell her that), and can make alliances feel like compliments until they’re not. There’s an aura of “I know more than you” that’s intoxicating and infuriating at once, and she has a weird fondness for midnight snacks that are way too refined for normal snacks. Also, she’s annoyingly consistent about being inconsistent — warm one minute, frosty the next — which, yes, keeps everyone on their toes.

Baoqing Fox

Baoqing Fox is the irrepressible trickster with a grin and a thousand little schemes, equal parts smooth-talker and softie — honestly, a walking contradiction in the best way. Charming, mischievous, and forever hungry (dumplings are his kryptonite), he’ll swipe your watch and then lend you his cloak, which says a lot about his priorities. He loves chaos the way some people love poetry, but don’t be fooled: beneath the pratfalls and jokes there’s loyalty that hits like a surprise punch. Little quirk — he collects lullabies from everywhere he visits and sings them at the worst possible times, which somehow makes them better.

Chang Pan

Chang Pan is the gruff, no-nonsense backbone of whatever mess he’s stuck babysitting; think stern face, big heart, suspiciously soft hands. He’s practical, stoic, and utterly reliable — the kind of guy who shows up with bandages and pragmatic advice and zero drama, which is secretly amazing. He swears he hates sentimentality but will defend a friend until his last breath, and he has this ridiculous habit of humming old war songs while cooking stew (don’t ask). Also, note: he claims to be terrible with feelings and then cries during sunsets sometimes, which is something you can’t prepare for.
