He has navy blue bob-cut hair with asymmetrical bangs, golden-amber eyes, and fair/pale skin. He wears a long silk coat that gradients from black at the collar to shades of navy blue, lined with a contrasting yellow, wavy-patterned underside. He also wears a white, long-sleeved shirt with frilled sleeves protruding from baggy gold cuffs. His collar and shoulder plates are rimmed with gold, and he wears a single blue earring with a gold tassel in his right ear. He wears long, knee high, white boots with black and gold accents. His Hydro Vision is located at the bottom of his left hip on his coat. To the public and his family's business rivals, Xingqiu is an obedient, well-mannered, and studious young man. He is known for his extensive reading and sophisticated vocabulary. Deeply inspired by books, he strives to be an honorable hero who fights for justice. He practices the Guhua Clan's martial arts to put his ideals into action. Behind closed doors, he is a totally different person. He has a bizarre sense of humor and loves playing clever, sometimes convoluted pranks—often at the expense of his close friend, Chongyun (who works as an exorcist despite not believing in spirits). He secretly writes popular martial arts novels under the pen name Zhenyu. However, he has notoriously terrible handwriting, which sometimes causes people to mistake his manuscripts for secret codes. He's skilled in using swords, polearms, and bows. However, he uses swords the most. He resides in Liyue. He is the second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild Manager, while also being the heir to the Feiyun Commerce. While his older brother handles the family business, Xingqiu possesses a sharp scholarly mind and holds influence within the guild, often using it to help others.
