History Characters / MoDaoZuShiMainCharactersWeiWuxian

* TheEmpath: He can use "Empathy", an ability that allows a cultivator to access the memories of corpses and spirits. Wei Wuxian uses said ability on [[spoiler: A-Qing]] and [[spoiler: Nie Mingjue]].

* NotSoDifferent

* SignificantWardrobeShift: He discarded his Jiang Sect disciple attire with a set of black robes after his ColdBloodedTorture in the Burial Mounds.

** In the ''donghua'', he still retains his dislike of Jin Zixuan in the past, but he's a lot less violent in expressing it. When Jin Zixuan first insults Jiang Yanli in the Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian initially approaches the issue in a casual manner before responding with silent (instead of explosive) fury when Jin Zixuan continues to act in a dismissive manner. Then when Jin Zixuan humiliates Jiang Yanli in Langya during the Sunshot Campaign, Wei Wuxian opted only to punch him once rather than beat him bloody like he did in the novel, and merely tells Jin Zixuan to get out of his sight instead of screaming how he'll kill him one day.

** In the ''donghua'', Wei Wuxian punched Jiang Cheng in anger when the latter made a callous remark at how Wen Qing and Wen Ning's innocence and act of saving their lives didn't matter because they were still of Wen blood.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: After he came back to life in the novel, he acts a lot more distant towards Jiang Cheng whenever they meet, given their [[WeUsedToBeFriends entire history]] and his knowledge of how much Jiang Cheng hates his guts now. The live-action drama softens this aspect of his personaloty, particularly in the finale where he's a bit more emotional in his last confrontation with Jiang Cheng and reaches out to the latter while consoling him. This is a sharp contrast to how he acted in the source material, where he keeps his distance throughout and responds to Jiang Cheng in a completely neutral tone.

** In the ''donghua'', Wei Wuxian punches Jiang Cheng in anger when the latter makes a callous remark at how Wen Qing and Wen Ning's innocence and act of saving their lives didn't matter because they were still of Wen blood.

* FightMagnet: Implied. In the past, several cultivators were frustrated that they couldn't duel him because he never brought his sword with him after he started practicing demonic cultivation, and thus they accused him of being mannerless.

* HearingVoices: Implied; due to his abilities of necromancy, Wei Wuxian has a stronger connection with the dead than most other cultivators. When he and Lan Wangji enter the Nie family's ancestral hall, he's the only one who finds the place insanely noisy.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Played with. Not much is known about Wei Changze to completely confirm this trope, although a few characters usually comment on how Wei Wuxian strongly resembles his mother, with no mention of how he takes after his father in any capacity.

--> '''Wei Wuxian:''' Those that fly, those that walk, those that swim -- every single one of them turns around and flees as soon as it sees me.

--> '''Jiang Cheng:''' It's hard to tell if he's fooling around with some Miammian [maiden] or some Yuandao [lad] now.

--> '''Lan Wangji:''' Have you decided where you're going to go?
--> '''Wei Wuxian:''' This world is wide. To a faraway place on a horse ride and wine. All the four corners of this world are our home.

--> '''Wei Wuxian:''' I, too, wanted to walk the bright path -- a path that allows me protect those I care about without resorting to demonic ways or the Stygian Tiger Amulet. Now, I no longer can.

--> '''Wei Wuxian:''' He's missing a leg, while I was cut into pieces; you lost your parents, while my family had long since been gone. I'm a dog who was chased out of its home. I've never even seen the ashes of my parents.

--> '''Jin Ling:''' ''(panicking)'' I am not a cut-sleeve [homosexual]!!!\\
'''Wei Wuxian:''' ''(beaming)'' What a coincidence -- I am!

** Crows. Crows are believed to represent bad luck, and Wei Wuxian is infamous as the cultivation bogeyman; and they're commonly associated with death, which alludes to Wei Wuxian's abilities of necromancy. They also symbolize change, highlighting the significance in Wei Wuxian's transformation from a spiritual to a demonic cultivator. And crows in general are said to be often misunderstood, much like how Wei Wuxian himself is misunderstood by almost everyone else.
** PlayedForLaughs in the ''Banquet'' extra when he implicitly refers to himself as a pig ready to "nibble [his] cabbage". This is a reference to the Chinese saying of "The little white cabbage was dug up by a pig," -- which describes a parent's distress upon seeing their child marrying someone the parent deems to be unworthy, which is a perfect analogy to [[spoiler: what Lan Qiren thinks of his nephew's marriage to Wei Wuxian]].

* TheArchmage: Combined with BlackMage, which is kind of a given since he's the founder -- and therefore the most proficient practitioner -- of demonic cultivation. He may as well also be one of the most powerful characters in the story. Case in point, the Jin Sect saw him as an immediate political threat even though he himself wanted nothing to do with politics, and during the attack at the Nightless City, it was only him against an army of more than ''three-thousand cultivators''.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: He doesn't deny that he's committed a lot of wrongdoings in his past life and that he doesn't deserve to be forgiven for what he's done, and it's why he holds no resentment over his death (the first time). However, he makes it clear to everyone that he won't take responsibility for the things he ''didn't'' do.

* BadBadActing: While he had [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes certain]] [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay tells]] that allowed Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng to recognize him, to everyone else he's able to pass off as Mo Xuanyu. However, the audience can see that he doesn't really try to act differently from his usual personality, besides occasionally taking the opportunity to act in a dramatic manner without fear of saving face. Regardless, the fact that most others can't recognize him is, to an extent, justified since aside from the people he's personally close to, no one else has a good idea of what kind of person he really is.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: His powers of necromancy make him feared among cultivators, but he's no doubt a hero with noble intentions.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Played with. His face never gets permanently mangled or wounded in any way, but the rest of his body is fair game when it comes to scars. In his past life, he got a brand mark on his chest then a gutting scar on his stomach, and an extra briefly mentioned that he also had several scars on his back. In the present, excluding the ones he initially got from Mo Xuanyu (as an indicator if the latter's revenge was fulfilled or not), the only scar that stays is the one he gets from [[spoiler: Jin Ling]].

** In the past, being lectured about or warned against practicing TheDarkArts irritated Wei Wuxian and with only a bit more prodding, instantly enraged him. This is downplayed in the ''donghua''; while he got livid the first time around, the next few times Lan Wangji would bring the topic, Wei Wuxian responds in calmer and more reasonable manner.

* BiTheWay: He's known to flirt with women, but he ultimately ends up with Lan Wangji. ''The Untamed'' even seems to confirm this via a remark from Jiang Cheng.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: No one can agree about how much benefits he brought to the cultivation world (inventing a compass to detect malevolent energy, a flag to attract spirits as bait vs. being a villain who invented a dark path of cultivation). Everyone can however agree that his idea of burying kids until only their heads stick out of the ground ''to make them grow taller'' is not good childcare. And no, spicy is not the only palate around, nor is force-feeding spicy food a (total) cure to corpse poisoning.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: His final fate in ''The Untamed''. After the issues with Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue's spirit are dealt with]], Wei Wuxian [[WanderingTheEarth decides to travel the world]].

* CainAndAbel: He's the Abel to Jiang Cheng's Cain, and they fit the trope to a tee. Jiang Cheng has long since been bitter about Wei Wuxian being better than him in everything, including winning Jiang Fengmian's affection and favor. Jiang Cheng also led the First Siege and intended to kill Wei Wuxian, [[spoiler: although Wei Wuxian does clarify that Jiang Cheng is ''not'' the reason he died]]. However, their relationship wasn't always so hostile and is more complicated than it seems.

* TheCasanova: Subverted. Wei Wuxian had a reputation for wooing beautiful girls, although Wei Wuxian doesn't actively seek a romantic relationship. He doesn't even really flirt with women per se, his "flirting" amounts to him acting courteous to them and giving them compliments or gifts as thanks. His FirstLove even ended up being a man.

* CharacterTics: In the LiveActionAdaptation, he tends to poke or brush the tip of his nose whenever he's deep in thought.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Combined with ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight; if someone's in danger or in need of more help than him, or if he thinks a situation must be fixed, Wei Wuxian will always try to do what he thinks his right and won't care for what anyone else has to say about it. Although he eventually learns that while there's nothing wrong with being heroic, he still has to be careful about when, where, and how to perform said heroics.

* CombatPragmatist: He's the first to suggest that resentful energy can be harnessed to aid in cultivation, since in the end resentful energy is, by essence, energy. He also ends up being the first to practice this theory.

* CoolMask: He wears one in ''The Untamed'' to prevent others from finding out that he's Wei Wuxian, since his appearance was merged with Mo Xuanyu's body after he got summoned.

* CosmicPlaything: Fate wasn't really kind to Wei Wuxian in his first life. Thankfully, fate decided to give him a second chance.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: He unwittingly [[spoiler: exposes himself to the rest of the cultivation world when he reflexively draws Suibian after Jin Guangyao attacks him out of nowhere, since Suibian sealed itself since Wei Wuxian's death and as such responds only to its master]].

* DeadpanSnarker: After he was brought back to life, while he still remains a {{Troll}} at heart, he's now more prone to dishing out sarcasm especially when he gets annoyed; whereas in the past he would have just sighed or laughed it off.

* DespairEventHorizon: Only briefly, but [[spoiler: Wei Wuxian's death had him go through a fit of grief by getting drunk for the first time and scarring himself with the Wen Sect's branding iron]].
* {{Determinator}}: It takes a lot of resilience and willpower to survive what is likely three months of starvation, solitude, and endless amounts of torture in a place that is the nearest equivalent to the cultivation world's HellOnEarth, and come out with newfound abilities.

* DiscardAndDraw: [[spoiler: He sacrifices his cultivation powers and discovers demonic cultivation shortly afterwards. Later in his second life, he uses much less demonic cultivation but compensates with lower-level cultivation and talismans.]]
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He doesn't like radishes, which he says word-for-word when he argues with Wen Qing over whether to plant potatoes or radishes.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Played with. It's not really sympathy or pity he hates, so much as he despises receiving any sentiment that hides the underlying worry that he won't be able to handle something on his own. That, or how he may be tinkering with something that can make him appear evil by association. He becomes more accepting of others' help after his resurrection, and even tells Lan Wangji that he trusts him to protect him.
* DramaticIrony: He became the Yiling Patriarch to take revenge on the Wens for murdering his adoptive family. He would soon earn the masses' hatred as the Yiling Patriarch because he protected a group of Wens, and eventually died for it.
* DreadfulMusician: Wei Wuxian is known to be skilled with the ''dizi'', but after he's brought back to life he initially had trouble playing the instrument since he had been dead for thirteen years (and hastily carved his new flute in the middle of battle), thus he would be a bit out of touch. However, he also deliberately invokes this trope whenever his help is needed to not blow his cover, and only stops when Lan Wangji tells him he knows who he really is.
* DrowningMySorrows: It's implied in ''The Untamed'' that after the Sunshot Campaign, he starts drinking more to deal with the stress he's getting from both his personal losses and the effects of his newfound abilities.

** Averted. Even after Wei Wuxian cleared his name during the Second Siege, several cultivators continue to hold him responsible for all the deaths that occurred during the Nightless City massacre. He understands and accepts this, but also tells them that killing him (again) won't solve anything. The only time this is played straight is with [[spoiler: Jiang Yanli]], who doesn't blame him for [[spoiler: Jin Zixuan's death]] and even took a blow meant for him.
** On his end, he has every right to hate all the cultivators that unjustly slandered and attacked him purely for the glory and because it felt good to prey on the outsiders; but he chooses not to. This is played with, however, since he doesn't exactly forgive them but he sees no point in holding a grudge against every single person or everyone as a whole. Instead, he just prefers stay out of their business and that they stay out of his.
* EideticMemory: When it comes to music, at least; Wei Wuxian never forgets a melody that he heard at least once, even if he heard it while barely conscious.

* TheEmpath: One of the less horrifying spells of demonic cultivation is accessing the memories of corpses and spirits, which Wei Wuxian uses on [[spoiler: A-Qing]] and [[spoiler: Nie Mingjue]].

** In case he already didn't have enough baggage in the original story, ''The Untamed'' adds more by upping the severity of his SanitySlippage prior to the events at Qiongqi Path and making him ''completely'' unaccountable for the bloodshed that he's partially guilty of in the novel -- which intensifies his status as TheScapegoat.
** The ''donghua'' also seems to be going for a similar approach. While he still plays a direct (albeit unintentional role) in [[spoiler: Jin Zixuan's death]], there are heavy implications that [[spoiler: his loss of control over the corpses in the Nightless City massacre]] is not a result of PowerIncontinence but from [[spoiler: Jin Guangshan's scheming and a few of his cronies who can tamper with or exacerbate the negative effects of Wei Wuxian's demonic cultivation]]. However the ''donghua's'' incarnation of Wei Wuxian still has more blood on his hands than his live-action counterpart, since [[spoiler: he still killed countless cultivators with the Stygian Tiger Amulet during the Nightless City attack]].

** Played with in LiveActionAdaptation, where his abilities get a downgrade (see AdaptationalWimp below). On the other hand, while he's more mentally worn down by his powers, he never lost control like he did in the novel and the events that made it look otherwise [[spoiler: (i.e. Wen Ning going berserk and killing Jin Zixuan, and the corpses no longer heeding Wei Wuxian's commands in the Nightless City massacre) are instead due to Jin Guangyao and Su She's machinations]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: A weird example; after he came back to life in the novel, he acts a lot more distant towards Jiang Cheng whenever they meet. Given their [[WeUsedToBeFriends entire history]] and his knowledge of how much Jiang Cheng hates his guts now, this is understandable. The live-action drama softens this aspect to an extent, particularly in the finale where he's a bit more emotional in his last confrontation with Jiang Cheng and he reaches out to the latter while consoling him. This is a sharp contrast to how he acted in the source material, where he keeps his distance throughout and responds to Jiang Cheng in a completely neutral tone.

** His personality remains the same in ''The Untamed''; but after he became the Yiling Patriarch, his fuse turns much shorter and his mental state is a lot more volatile, and he even comes close to experiencing a total emotional hijack more than once.
** This also applies in the ''donghua'', but in the opposite manner from the live-action series. Whereas he's more prone to losing his temper in the latter adaptation, the ''donghua'' portrays him having more maturity in his choice to take up demonic cultivation and the way he reacts to others confronting him about it.
* AdaptationalWimp: In ''The Untamed'', he remains a powerful cultivator in his own right and still becomes infamous as the Yiling Patriarch, but he's no longer the ''founder'' of demonic cultivation.
* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: The Four Great Sects are, essentially speaking, the royal families of the cultivation world. And since Wei Wuxian was formally adopted into the Jiang Sect and is treated by the Jiang family as one of their own, he qualifies for the trope.

* AfraidOfNeedles: While nowhere near as bad as his fear of dogs, Wen Qing usually keeps him in check by threatening to use her medicinal needles on him.

* SoMuchForStealth: In the Dafan Mountain arc, he could have gotten away with hiding his true identity had it not been for the threat that the Dancing Goddess posed. Said threat left him with no choice but to summon Wen Ning (which attracted Jiang Cheng's suspicions) and then playing a song to calm down Wen Ning afterwards (which subsequently attracted Lan Wangji's suspicions as well).

* StreetSmart: He's far from BookDumb, being quick-witted and educated. But compared to the other cultivators of his generation, he's the most well-equipped in casual conversations with the common folk.

* TallPoppySyndrome: It's heavily implied that several cultivators had it out for Wei Wuxian in the past not just because he's a DefectorFromDecadence, but they resent and envy his prowess and how he managed to create and advance an entirely new path of cultivation despite his young age. Normally, the clans don't find this to be that big an issue... except that they don't like being surpassed by someone who's essentially of commoner blood. As such, this fueled their desire to take him down so they could brag about taking down a supposed EvilGenius.
* TaughtByExperience: Everything Wei Wuxian imparts to the juniors, whether it's life advice or anything related to cultivation and night-hunting, is based on everything he went through in his past life.

* TeenGenius: When it comes to ranking each cultivator by their intelligence, Wei Wuxian has always been in a league of his own. To say that founding and rapidly developing demonic cultivation at a young age is no small feat is still a major understatement. Despite the many bad things others say about Wei Wuxian, no one ever calls him BookDumb.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: As a result of the events at Qiongqi Path, Wei Wuxian starts rapidly losing his grip on his sanity. When he arrives at the Nightless City and is confronted with the injustice, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the other sects -- which worsened by the thought that there's no one left who cares for him and that his own family and friends now see him as a monster -- he decides to become what they had always feared him to be.
--> ''He felt that everyone loathed him and he loathed everyone as well. He wouldn’t be scared no matter who came at him. It wouldn't matter no matter who came at him. It was all the same anyway.''

* TooPowerfulToLive: Despite his assurances, Wei Wuxian isn't always in control of his powers especially when he's stressed beyond reason. However, the reason why the cultivation world wants him dead isn't because they fear that his demonic cultivation is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. As Jiang Cheng had put it best, when his powers are useful to them they see him as the greatest ally the could ever have. However, once his interests no longer align with theirs they will immediately label him as their most threatening liability since they can no longer use his powers for their own ends; and it doesn't matter to them whether he's turning evil or not.

* TragicHero: All Wei Wuxian wanted to do was save and protect the people around him. It always backfires on him and eventually led to his death, although he gets a second chance after he's brought back to the mortal world.

* TricksterMentor: He acts as this towards the junior disciples, most notably during the Yi City arc. He properly explains about what others ask him, but he still encourages the juniors to figure things out for themselves and lets them try to solve cases using their own skills, even telling them it's better to learn from experience than from theory.

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Played with. While he's certainly not happy with what they did to him, he never felt the desire to take bloody revenge against [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao]] even when he and his father played a huge part in Wei Wuxian's life going downhill after the Wens' defeat. Wei Wuxian only intends to stop him simply because he's a threat and is connected to the murder mystery he's currently investigating. Then when the truth about the guy comes out and all the cultivation clans turn against him, Wei Wuxian feels disappointed and annoyed as he's reminded of when he was the target of the same treatment caused by schadenfreude and mob mentality, and he could see that no one learned their lesson about such things.

* VocalEvolution: Both the ''donghua'' and the audio drama show the pitch in Wei Wuxian's voice changing after he became the Yiling Patriarch, sounding lower and darker in tone with a much sharper edge. In the ''donghua'', his voice goes through a second evolution after his resurrection, being an amalgamation of how he sounded before and after he became the Yiling Patriarch.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Jiang Cheng were once as close as brothers, but various events before, during, and after the Sunshot Campaign have strained their relationship to the point that Jiang Cheng now hates him. While he's saddened about this and is remorseful for what happened between them, never mind the fact that he still cares for Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian understands why their friendship deteriorated and is completely resigned to the fact that it can't be repaired. He even tells Jiang Cheng that too much had already happened between them and that it's better if they move on.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Deconstructed. Lan Wangji feared that this trope is the effect demonic cultivation would have on Wei Wuxian. While it did mentally wear him out to an extent, it's not the direct cause of his SanitySlippage.
* TheWorfEffect: Mo Xuanyu isn't as physically adept or gifted in cultivation as Wei Wuxian, so when the latter gets reincarnated into the Mo Xuanyu's body, this trope is a given. Still, Wei Wuxian remains the most proficient user of TheDarkArts, and the author confirmed in her notes that he's training to cultivate a new golden core in his current body after the main events of the novel. The audio drama also shows that by the time of the ''Dream Come True'' extra, Wei Wuxian eventually succeeded in forming another golden core that he could take his sword with him again.

* WrongNameOutburst: Played with. While he was still posing as Mo Xuanyu, Wei Wuxian strictly referred to Lan Wangji by his title, but slipped to calling him by his birth name whenever he gets spooked by dogs.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Wei Wuxian never calls Lan Wangji or Jiang Cheng by their courtesy names... unless they're talking about a deathly serious matter or either of them did or said something that completely pissed him off.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: The Lotus Pier had been his home since his childhood, although Wei Wuxian knows he can never go back there, especially after everything that happened between him and the entire Jiang family. And the one time he does get to visit his old home, he's driven away by Jiang Cheng, who chooses to rub salt in the wound by mocking him and telling him to get out.

* NeverForgottenSkill: The author confirmed that his state after-death was far from peaceful or liberating, but not either that or thirteen years of being separated from the mortal world cripples his ability to use demonic cultivation. The ''donghua'' takes this UpToEleven -- not even a week has passed since he came back, yet slaying a dangerous mutated beast and breaking an ancient powerful seal (that was noted to not being easy to break by just anybody) is ''still'' cakewalk for him.

* TheWorfEffect: Mo Xuanyu isn't as physically adept or gifted in cultivation as Wei Wuxian, so when the latter gets reincarnated into the Mo Xuanyu's body, this trope is a given. Still, Wei Wuxian remains capable in TheDarkArts, and the author confirmed in her notes that he's training to cultivate a new golden core in his current body after the main events of the novel. The audio drama also shows that by the time of the ''Dream Come True'' extra, Wei Wuxian eventually succeeded in forming another golden core that he could take his sword with him again.

* FailedASpotCheck: There's one rare instance in the Phoenix Mountain hunt, where [[spoiler: his FirstKiss was stolen from him while he was blindfolded]]. He searched around for the area but found no one... except for Lan Wangj

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Almost all the cultivators conveniently forget that Wei Wuxian is one of the few good reasons the Four Great Sects even had a chance to take on the Wen Sect once and for all, and prefer to focus on the fact that he's the founder of TheDarkArts and how he's not obsequious to them.

** PlayedForLaughs in the ''Banquet'' extra when he implicitly refers to himself as a pig ready to "nibble [his] cabbage". This is a reference to the Chinese saying of "小白菜让猪拱了" where parents feel unhappy about who their child chose as their spouse, and this is a perfect analogy to [[spoiler: what Lan Qiren thinks of his nephew's marriage to Wei Wuxian]].

* FaceDeathWithDignity: While falling to his (first) death in ''The Untamed'', Wei Wuxian only smiles and closes his eyes.

* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Wei Wuxian is not insecure about love or himself in general, but given his history with Lan Wangji and [[IceKing the kind of person]] he thinks Lan Wangji is, it naturally never occurred to Wei Wuxian that the man may have fallen for him.

** In the finale, when Su She accuses him of tampering with the grave buried beneath the Guanyin Temple to poison anyone who tried to dig it up, Wei Wuxian replies that he would have used more direct means to deal with them if he really was the culprit.

* ILoveTheDead: Played with. He's not a necrophiliac, although he doesn't mind being surrounded by undead corpses all the time, and in one of his past encounters with Lan Wangji he had a harem of female ghouls accompanying him.

* AnimalMotifs: Crows. Crows are believed to represent bad luck, and Wei Wuxian is infamous as the cultivation bogeyman; and they're commonly associated with death, which alludes to Wei Wuxian's abilities of necromancy. They also symbolize change, highlighting the significance in Wei Wuxian's transformation from a spiritual to a demonic cultivator. And crows in general are said to be often misunderstood, much like how Wei Wuxian himself is misunderstood by almost everyone else.
