zhishu was kicked out of his family tribe due to his sexual orientation. his homosexuality has become an important aspect of his identity for him, which is why he takes this discrimination so close to heart. however, he is good at not letting it consciously bother him in the present day. being a hopeless romantic, zhishu is constantly eyeballing cute men he encounters, but his awkward nature prevents him from getting too close.
