Xiao Love Webpage!
| Index | Game | Library | Goods |
Xiao is my favorite character in Genshin Impact and one of my favorite characters of all time.
I love his selflessness, his resilience, and his loyalty towards those he cares for.
He is very well-written and everything about him is endearing to me. The writers behind Genshin have poured so much effort and research into his backstory, lore, and design.
Not only is Xiao handsome and cool, but he is also cute and lovable.
Xiao is a fierce warrior who has endured a millenia of bloodshed, but he has a gentle, calm personality and likes sweet food.
He talks with his mouth full and stammers when Traveler catches him standing up while asleep.
His feet can't reach the ground when he sits.
I love Xiao's relationship with the Traveler. As time progresses, he has slowly opened up to them and trusts them as a companion.
Xiao really cares for them, and it is because of Traveler that Xiao begins to see himself as more than a weapon.
Traveler seeks to find Xiao salvation, which surprises him.
Despite preferring solitude, Xiao has invited the Traveler to go to Liyue Harbor together.
I also like Xiao's relationship with Zhongli.
As a former Archon, Zhongli saved Xiao from his previous master. He freed Xiao from his his mistreatment and suffering.
As a sign of gratitude, Xiao signed a contract with Zhongli to protect Liyue.
Even after Zhongli resigns as an Archon, he still deeply cares for Xiao and watches over him. Zhongli often visits Wangshu Inn to bring Xiao medicine and checks up on him. In the 2.7 Archon Quest, after Xiao's power reaches it's limit, he sacrifices himself. Xiao, in a weakned state, falls off of the platform while protecting the others. Zhongli saves Xiao once again, watching him above the Chasm and protecting him as he falls. Regardless of what happens to Xiao, Zhongli will always be there for him.
He is often misconstrued as rude and uncaring, but that is untrue.
Xiao once saved a little girl's doll from a bunch of monsters. He also rescued a man, who eventually named his store "Second Life," because he felt like Xiao gave him another chance to live.
Xiao is an incredibly compelling character who has a huge part of my heart. His story arc gets heavily expanded on in the 2.7 Archon Quest: Perilous Trail. In confronting his past, Xiao learns that he is not a burden and is cared for by others. Xiao realizes that no matter how much darkness and evil there is in this world, everyone has a capacity for love. Up until this quest, Xiao showed how he cares through self-abnegation. While his self-sacrificing mindset may be offputting, and even baffling to some, it was the only thing that Xiao knew how to do because of his duty to Liyue. However, thanks to the efforts of Yanfei, Itto, Yelan, the Traveler, and Shinobu, Xiao opens himself up to those around him and finally understands that he is not alone.

I love his mask!! It's so beautiful. It wards off evil, embodying is Xiao's role as the Conqueror of Demons.
In addition to Xiao's mask, his outfit has many religious references and connect to his duty of fighting evil spirits.
Xiao wears a censer (a container used for burning incense at religious ceremonies) around his waist, a jade ring on his sleeve, and a vajra pendant around his neck.

While there are many moments after the 2.7 chasm quest that highlight Xiao’s character, such as the 2023 Lantern Rite Epilogue, this page serves as an introduction to who he is! I hope I was able to convince you to love him more with these notable Xiao moments in the first two years of Genshin Impact! I highly implore you to read more about him, as he’s a character with much to offer.
