#Xiāo Húdié

[monkie-kid-oc-showdown]

Zǐsè de (紫色的) (zoo-doe-da is basically the pronunciation) (she/her)

The monkey on her head is her pet named Macaroon.

(Small bit of background)

Zise de is technically a celestial being (due to both her parents being one) zise de was raised by Macaque however, because of drama between her parents and her mom leaving zise de with a different family for the better. She eventually ends up being raised by Macaque! Zise de has shadow manipulation powers she inherited from her mother, which is also another reason why Macaque was interested in raising Zise De when he found her! She is also best friends with MK but not that close with his other friends due to being very shy and introverted and having trust issues. Major trust issues!

Other things about Zise de:

Zise de is 16ish years old during season 5

Zise de prefers to stay at home unless someone (MK) invites her to something or when she gets REALLLLYY lonely.

Her favorite food is tortilla shells and apple sauce Her powers are shadow manipulation (just to restate that! :3 ) Zise de is skilled in fighting because Macaque taught her how to fight growing up

She currently lives in a treehouse she built

Xiāo Húdié (@keykittygirl)

Species : Xian Li

Age : 12 years old

Has the eyes of the color violet who's seen as precious by the kidnappers, but seen as a freak by her peers and caretaker...

Living in the part of the city who's not that really tolerable toward demons of all kinds...

But at least one caretaker love her with her life like she does to the other kids...

But as time goes she keep wondering why...

And what happened before she was found on that river...

The morning of her twelfth birthday opening the door toward the answer...

As the night before a strange thrump has plaguing her soul till she out of light...

It happened not long after she obtained the spear that her lovely caretaker claim has been hers since she first find her...

And it's feel like it stirring something in her...

Something that has long forgotten...

As she thought she just tired and need sleep to calm herself down...

But instead of those strange feelings fading away it only get worse...

Nightmare along with a feeling of something start to shatter plaguing her all night...

And in the morning...

The tiredness caused her to wake up later than she used to...

Feeling something is odd about herself...

Something fluffy brushing around her legs...

And the noise around her has increased in loud...

But she's to weary to care...

But an average bullying make her realize what different...

A pair of fluffy ears over her head and a long fluffy tail tucking out from her simple nightgown...

But it's not her alone who realize...

The others...

They see it...

The look in their eyes...

The scream...

The constant yelling of abomination, monster, freak, and others...

It hurts more than it used to...

All she can do was just run...

And keep running to the point she almost got in an accident...

But luckily, that unfortunate moment has lead her to meet the Monkie kid and the Dragon girl or as they prefer MK and Mei...

Hope start to spark in her heart...

Maybe...

Just maybe...

They can help her find the answer...

Fan-Picked Surnames for the Liyue Cast in Genshin Impact

*This is a resource for fic writers to use when writing AUs, especially modern AUs that may require the presence of a surname

*Disclaimer: I am not Chinese, so if a native speaker could offer feedback, that would be amazing! I did this for fun, but I'm used to working with Japanese surnames instead, where compound surnames are much more common. I learned that Chinese surnames can be beautiful representations of nature and the mundane things around us in life.

Chao GANYU - written as 晁 (Cháo, lit. "dawn, morning") and 甘雨 (Gānyǔ, lit. "sweet rain")

Shi or Zhou ZHONGLI - Shí is written as 石 (lit. "stone") and Zhōu is written as 周 (lit. "dragon"). Zhōnglí is written as 鍾離 OR 钟离 (the pun is "time of departure")

Liu, Feng or He XIAO - Liú is written as 劉, which originally meant "to kill" when it was taken up as a surname during the Han Dynasty. Fēng is written as 風 (lit. "wind") or Fèng written as 鳳 (lit. "phoenix") - there is a pun here too, if you know Xiao's backstory. Hé is written as 何 meaning, "carry the load" - I also considered Hé for Zhongli but decided it suited Xiao better. Xiāo, of course, is written as 魈 (lit. "Mountain Demon")

Jin NINGGUANG - written as 金 (Jīn, lit. "gold") and 凝光 (Níngguāng, lit. "Condensed Light")

Zhu BEIDOU - written as 朱 (Zhū, referring to 朱雀, lit "vermilion") and 北斗 (Běidǒu, lit. "Big Dipper") - I just picked another color to match with Ningguang LOL

Lu YANFEI - written as 鹿 (Lù, meaning "deer" - I know her Adeptal lineage comes from xiezhi, the Beast of Justice, but her constellation looks like a deer so please spare me) and 烟绯 (Yānfēi, meaning "smoky scarlet")

Lai KEQING - written as 賴 (Lài, meaning "to trust, depend on") and 刻晴 (Kèqíng, meaning "immediate clear weather")

Wu XINYAN - written as 吴 (Wú, lit. "loud, noisy") and 辛焱 (Xīnyàn, meaning "Spicy Blaze")

Wen XINGQIU - written as 文 (Wén, meaning "literature, writing, culture") and 行秋 (Xíngqiū, meaning "Progression of Autumn")

Fei CHONGYUN - written as 霏 (Fēi, meaning "fall of snow") and 重云 (Chóngyún, meaning "Layers of Clouds")

Xu QIQI - written as 徐 (Xú, meaning "slowly, calmly") and 七七 (Qīqī, lit. "Seven-Seven")

Chang BAIZHU - written as 厂 (Chǎng, meaning "a plant") and 白术 (Báizhú, meaning "Atractylodes macrocephala" which is, of course, a medicinal plant)

BONUS: Ferrylady - surname Xie 謝 (Xiè, meaning "to thank", "to apologize" or "withering of leaves and flowers")

*Hu Tao's surname is 胡 (Hú, referring to 蝴蝶, húdié, meaning "butterfly") and 桃 (Táo, meaning "peach") - both things tied to death/immortality in China. 胡桃, Hu Tao together can be read as a pun meaning "walnut"

*Xiangling's surname is 卯 (Mǎo, meaning "early morning" or referring to the Rabbit from the Chinese Zodiac. It may also refer to the protagonist of Chuuka Ichiban! (Cooking Master Boy) a 90s anime with a Qing Dynasty setting starring Mao, a young chef). Xiānglíng is written as 香菱 meaning "Fragrant Water Caltrop" - a name that may also be taken from a character by the same name in Dream of the Red Chamber (红楼梦/紅樓夢), one of China's Four Great Classical Novels.

Lian (@squidthechaotickid)

she/they

Lian is a stone monkey, born at the same time as MK, and grew up not at Pigsy's -- but in the rival noodle shop across the street. Lian didn't even realize she was a stone monkey for most her life, working with her father as a dishwasher and server.

It wasn't until the events of s5, when the pillar of heaven was cracking, that she found everything out. She felt a strange draw to the pillar, as if someone were calling for her. When she arrived on scene, xiangliu explained her role in the matter; she was a backup. Nuwa had placed two monkeys in the stone that day; MK, the sacrifice, and Lian, a replacement in case MK was unable to fulfill his destiny. Fortunately, neither were sacrificed, and Lian was able to escape without ever being seen by the Monkie Kids.

But her life changed a little after that. She had a rocky relationship with her father before; he wasn't supportive of her transition, he was overbearing, he was generally just an unlikeable guy. She really didnt like her life all that much.

But MK? MK had a great life, at least in her eyes. She wanted his life so bad. What was she, anyway? Even in her destiny, she was only a replacement. Not even that important.

She eventually makes an effort to befriend MK, but it takes her a long time to tell him that they are, in fact, twins. She's a little bitter, but she comes around eventually.

She also has a thing for Nezha. Not romantic or anything, she just really really admires him, in the same way MK admires Wukong.
