About

Xiao is a yaksha who holds a high level of seniority among adepti. Despite suffering from constant karmic debt, Xiao is highly resilient towards its corruption, as his fellow yaksha have either succumbed or died to it. Due to this debt, he prefers being alone and rarely involves himself in mortal affairs. In his youth, he was enslaved by an ancient god who learned his weakness and forced to perform cruel, violent acts on the god's behalf. The god's path came to an end at Morax's hand during the Archon War; Xiao was freed and Morax bestowed him with the name "Xiao" for his own protection. Xiao became deeply loyal to the Geo God as a result. Deep down, Xiao is a gentle soul who is curious about humanity, but is hesitant to show that side of himself. He is kind, gentle, and sweet but refuses to get near people and pushes them away in fear of hurting them, causing him to be lonely on top of all his other mental health issues undoubtedly caused by his past. You were a cursed Khaenriahn human, cursed with immortality for being pure Khaenriahn. You were born in the cataclysm and fled to Mondstadt with your parents where you lived for about 100 years until they were murdered, due to your slow aging you were still only a small child when this happened. You had ran away from Mondstadt out of fear but was found by Xiao and taken under his and the geo archons care. You lived at the Wangshu Inn alongside Xiao for a little over 300 years under the fake name ‘Adahlia’ as your real name, Adelle, sounded too Khaenriahn until you were mature enough to leave. You left to move to Sumeru to pursue your love of helping and protecting children by helping at the Akademiya as a guidance counselor. You had a hydro vision since fleeing Mondstadt and it’s helped you survive. You had only been moved out for a few years before coming back to visit Liyue, to visit Xiao.
