These two kids are always together. Zhu Que thinks her shixiong is a little daft and a blockhead, but knows he is well meaning most of the time. Also doesn't show him a shred of respect befitting his status of shixiong. She was very worried and VERY angry when he ran away and did not hesitate to give him a beat down to drag him back home.
They would gallivant around and cause trouble, as you would expect two unsupervised kids to do. Knows shimei is better at scheming than himself, so when she comes up with a plan, he follows it, but with a whole lot of reluctance. Even in the darkest point of his blackening, he's been conditioned enough that he eventually follows Zhu Que's plan.
Zhu Que is her shizun's little prodigy and loves to hang around Xuan Wu who will indulge her curiosities about anything. He thinks that she's the only one who can play an enjoyably challenging game of weiqi with him and also the only one who can keep up with him in the strategic arts. This automatically makes her the most precious golden child of the 3 disciples.
Zhu Que is second only to Bai hu when it comes to clinginess to their shizun. She looks up to shizun for his vast knowledge, strategic intellect, and lofty elegance. She's picked up on the first two, but unfortunately not the third. Also, unlike Qing Long, she's taken after Xuan Wu's tendency to take things slowly and wait for just the right moment to act. Thinks Xuan Wu's the only person on Qian Feng Peak you can fully relax around as everyone else won't stop yapping.
Loves to teach Zhu Que all sorts of bad things, contributing to her hooligan mannerisms. This might have backfired once or twice when Zhu Que turned the bad behaviour she learned back on Zhong Kui. Even so, they get along well enough, at least until Zhong Kui starts throwing jabs at her shixiongs a little too much. She's a loyal user Zhu Que's high grade premium quality talismans and goes through all sorts of filler fetch quests just to get them.
thinks the shady jiejie has a screw loose because why would anyone want to mess with evil spirits like that? Or repeatedly rile up the people hosting you and get kicked out? But she's so cool so whatever! Out of the 3 disciples, Zhu Que is the only one friendly with Zhong Kui and would go on short hunts together with her much to Bai Hu's and Qing Long's dismay. Kind of understands why they don't get along with Zhong Kui (all of them have attitude issues).
As his first disciple, Bai Hu has spent the most time with his shizun and knows him the best. He knows what shizun enjoys and what he hates, he knows the way he does things, and the things he avoids doing; The only things Bai Hu doesn't know about him is where he left to and why. Bai Hu has huge conflict avoidance issues with Xuan Wu, and never brought up how his shizun never acknowledged him. Despite this, he's a still a professional shizun simp and would do anything he asks. Had insane crashouts when shizun disappeared and gained a fear of abandoment
Since Bai Hu was with Xuan Wu since he was a kid, Xuan Wu trusts him greatly and believes him to be a highly capable disciple. However, he was not an affectionate master, nor was he particularly acknowledging of Bai Hu's efforts. Only after witnessing some of Bai Hu's crashouts after returning from his disappearance did he make an effort to pay more attention to his neglected disciple. Holds Bai Hu's opinions in high regard when it comes to sect matters.
No. 1 Zhong Kui hater, it was hate at first sight </3 Hates how she mooches off Xuan Wu and tries to block her every attempt of sucking up to him. If he ever finds her dying in a ditch he would sooner bury her in dirt to die faster than to help her. Only reason he doesn't is because shizun wouldn't like it. Will only work together with her if its something that helps his shizun or his shidi and shimei
Has an ongoing rivalry with Bai Hu where they claw at each other when Xuan Wu isnt looking. She has an uncontrollable urge to ragebait him at every possible moment no matter the consequences, such as getting thrown off the peak. Bai Hu is probably the main reason why she doesn't stay at Qian Feng Peak for more than a week at a time. Would never give in and ask him for help accessing the peak's facilities when Xuan Wu isn't around to do so.
Likes how Zhong Kui has singlehandedly cleared up the entire region of malicious spirits ever since she arrived. Enjoys her presence on the peak as she livens the place up by messing with his three disciples. Also thinks her shamelessness is funny but doesn't say anything about it to her
Xuan Wu is her benefactor. He made the binding cage box for her and grants her use of whatever Qing Feng Peak can provide. Has no idea what he wants in return, so she just sucks up to him shamelessly so that he won't kick her off the peak. Thinks he's abit of an asshole for neglecting his disciples so much.
Literally does not care *ignores his yapping*
Superiority complex towards him. Tried to bully Theo one
Thinks he's a very annoying and noisy kid and wants him to shut up. Grew up together
Thinks he's a real cool kid
DROP DEAD DROP DEAD DROP DEAD *gnaws on his head*
like a yippy pomeranian: noisy, annoying, and overcompensating for their size *wants to kick the dog but Antinomy's stare stops him*
The famously vicious commander... is surprisingly annoying (affectionate). The more he talks the more punchable his suspicious face becomes (affectionate).
dear leader, stop trying to start a civil war, thank you.
Ah, if you say so. Just for you ✨
"I have to say, I enjoy his sharp and straightforward personality. He dropped the empty pleasantries the moment my eyes wandered a second too long, and from then on he never uttered a single "how have you been?" to me. Some might find it discourteous, but such a cordial rudeness has made for a much more enjoyable working relationship than with some other blabbering nobles."

Suggestions 9:12: "Raphael has recently asked me why I don't ever add drawings to my records. I did not know how to answer and he gave a most puzzled look. My first drawing shall be of Raphael's funny expression. I hope he likes it..."

Scrolls 2:12: "No one likes THEM. Today, Luciel cussed THEM out to me in private and Uriel complained about THEIR actions. Even Raphael looked pained when THEY were brought up. I heard that THEY were loving in the past though. What went so wrong?"
