* ArtifactOfDoom: Simply put, several things went downhill in the past because of Jin Guangshan's desire to obtain the Stygian Tiger Amulet and use it to rule over the cultivation world. This is taken further in ''The Untamed'', where the battle at the Nightless City shows that almost every other cultivator also wishes to get their hands on it.

** Wei Wuxian was born from a marriage between two common-blooded people who genuinely loved each other, while Mo Xuanyu was born from a one-night stand between two nobles.
** Both were adopted into a major sect. But while Wei Wuxian was accepted as a full-fledged disciple and soon became the head disciple; Mo Xuanyu was only accepted as a guest disciple. Both also ended up leaving the sect: in Wei Wuxian's case, he left to spare the Jiang Sect from any further political fallout; and in Mo Xuanyu's case, he got kicked out after allegedly harassing his half-brother who he was (again, allegedly) attracted to.
** Their relationships with the family they grew up with is also similar: they're despised by the family matriarch, who treats them as kindly as they would dirt. Mo Ziyuan's resentment towards Mo Xuanyu mirrors Jiang Cheng's own bitterness towards Wei Wuxian born out of envy.

[[AC: General Tropes]]
* ChildhoodFriends: They were both this with Jiang Fengmian, with Wei Changze being his subordinate and Cangse Sanren having studied with him when they were younger.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: They're one of the very few parents in the story who didn't have issues with either their marriage or raising their child. Naturally, they're dead.
* {{Foil}}: To Jiang Cheng's parents, for the very simple reasons of willingly marrying each other for love instead of political connections and neither neglecting nor mistreating their son. Although both parent duos died in tragic circumstances, leaving their children orphaned at a young age (and ''much'' younger in Wei Wuxian's case).
* GoodParents: It's very likely that they were this to Wei Wuxian, especially since the only memory he has of them is a happy one.
* HappilyMarried: Almost every other parent duo in the story are bound by ArrangedMarriage, hence marital problems were inevitable. These two wed on their own free will, and had no such issues.
* PosthumousCharacter: They're both dead even in the [[WholeEpisodeFlashback flashback arcs]]. This is consistent in all adaptations.

* TheFaceless: The artists for the audio drama never give the viewer even a brief glimpse of what his face might look life, in contrast to his wife. In the ''manhua'', his wife is the only one of the pair to make a brief appearance.
* {{Foil}}: Wei Changze is a general foil to most of the fathers in ''Mo Dao Zu Shi'', as he married for love instead of political connections and he never neglecting or mistreating his son; he's also specifically a perfect foil to his friend Jiang Fengmian. They do share something in common: dying in tragic circumstances and leaving their children orphaned at a young age (and ''much'' younger in Wei Wuxian's case).

* AdaptationExpansion: Baoshan Sanren gets to make an appearance in ''The Untamed'' via a brief flashback involving her and Lan Yi.
* TheAgeless: She's one of the very few cultivators who achieved immortality and is still alive at present.
* AmbiguousGender: Played with. As the Chinese language uses genderless pronouns, whether Baoshan Sanren is truly a woman or a man is unknown. Even the ''manhua'' adaptation was initially unsure on which gender to portray the character with. ''The Untamed'' portrays Baoshan Sanren as a woman, and majority of the fandom goes with the interpretation that Baoshan Sanren is a woman since the fan English translations also make use of female pronouns when referring to the character.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the ''manhua'', Baoshan Sanren was initially drawn as a man before the artist changed it to a woman, [[spoiler: alluding to Wen Qing and how she's really the one who restored Jiang Cheng's golden core]].
* HealingHands: According to others, Baoshan Sanren can restore life and bring flesh back to bone. Wei Wuxian even justifies this as the reason that she can also repair damaged golden cores, [[spoiler: except that he wasn't being honest]].
* TheHermit: She chose to isolate themselves from the rest of the mortal world so as to not get involved with their various conflicts, and she encourage their disciples to do the same.

Another illegitimate son of Jin Guangshan, Mo Xuanyu was taken in by Jin Guangshan after the death of Wei Wuxian, specifically to counter Jin Guangyao. A homosexual ("cut-sleeve" in Chinese parlance), Mo Xuanyu's choice of paramour was [[SiblingIncest Jin Guangyao]] - which [[TooDumbToLive did not bode well for his reputation]]. Jin Guangyao was however one step ahead of him, and chased Mo Xuanyu out of Koi Tower at the first chance, on top of (allegedly) driving Mo Xuanyu insane. However, Mo Xuanyu had read the theory of the sacrificial rite, and used it to summon a villainous ghoul to possess his body, trading his own soul to kill the Mo family.\\

\\
'''Note:''' For the person currently inhabiting his body, see Wei Wuxian in the [[Characters/MoDaoZuShiMainCharacters Main Characters subpage]].
* AdaptationalSexuality: In the novel, he was explicitly stated to be gay. The ''donghua'' makes him an ExtremeOmnisexual, and ''The Untamed'' makes him straight due to the rumors of him hitting on Jin Guangyao's wife rather than Jin Guangyao himself. However, in the very latter case there are some hints where not all is at it seems (see HiddenDepths below).
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The Mo family doesn't seem to be aware of this trope, unfortunately for them, as eventually Mo Xuanyu had enough of their abuse and summoned none other than the [[TheDreaded Yiling Patriarch]] to kill them. One also must not forget that he ''actually'' managed to summon Wei Wuxian's soul when hundreds of other full-fledged cultivators have been trying to do the same for years with no success. Granted, he used a forbidden spell to pull it off, but still.
* CompressedHair: When Wei Wuxian first reincarnated into Mo Xuanyu's body, the latter's hair is styled in a cross between a bun and a short ponytail, but not much loose hair is shown. When it gets retied later, it's easy for the viewer to assume that Wei Wuxian suddenly grew out a very long ponytail.
* CoolMask: In ''The Untamed'', his habit of [[UncannyValleyMakeup wearing ghostly makeup]] is replaced with donning a mask that hides half his face. Although according to Jin Ling, there are times that Mo Xuanyu went with the makeup instead of the mask.
* DeaderThanDead: The ritual he used to summon Wei Wuxian's soul requires the destruction of his own; meaning his soul can never return to the mortal world.
* DepravedHomosexual: How he came to be known by just about ''everyone''.
* DestroyTheAbusiveHome: His reason for summoning Wei Wuxian.
* {{Expy}}: It's easy to see Mo Xuanyu as one to Shen Qingqiu/Shen Jiu from ''Literature/RenZhaFanPaiZiJiuXiTong'', since both are characters who had to die for the protagonists -- who already died once -- to get reincarnated (in a sense) and get the plot rolling. The difference is that in ''Mo Dao Zu Shi'', there's no transmigration involved.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: In the ''donghua'', he is this instead of a DepravedHomosexual. Rumor is that he would harass anyone and ''anything'' he found pretty, including animals and plants. It's never confirmed on whether this is true or merely the result of gossips exaggerating his homosexuality.
* HiddenDepths: ''The Untamed'' provides his character with a few additional layers. In the novel, all that's known about him is that he's gay and was interested in his half-brother, had a few screws loose, and summoned Wei Wuxian to take revenge on his family. While the last part remains true in the series, the series adds an additional target of Mo Xuanyu's revenge -- namely [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao]]. From this, Wei Wuxian infers that the possible reason Mo Xuanyu really got kicked out of the Jin Sect was because HeKnowsTooMuch about [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao and tried to warn Qin Su before he got thwarted]] and that his insanity was possibly induced by [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao via a song from the Collection of Turmoil]].
* IdenticalStranger:
** While the manga shows that his appearance and Wei Wuxian's original appearance have some similarities but are still distinguishable from the other, his character design in the ''donghua'' makes him look as if he ''is'' Wei Wuxian himself. The only differences are that Mo Xuanyu has longer hair and a shorter and slightly less masculine build, but that's about it.
** The trope is completely played straight in ''The Untamed'', where Wei Wuxian and Mo Xuanyu are played by the same actor. This is justified since it's explicitly stated in the live-action drama that the summoning ritual includes the effect of Wei Wuxian's appearance being slowly assimilated into Mo Xuanyu's body. The only way to tell them apart is that Wei Wuxian has a BeautyMark whereas Mo Xuanyu doesn't.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Downplayed. He's not acknowledged as a candidate for the position of the Jin Sect leader, but he was still enlisted as a guest disciple. While he got kicked out, it's not due to his mother's background but rather, his preference for men.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The events of the book really centered around the sacrifice that brought Wei Wuxian back into the world.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: The Mo family doesn't seem to be aware of this trope, unfortunately for them, as eventually Mo Xuanyu had enough of their abuse and summoned none other than the [[TheDreaded Yiling Patriarch]] to kill them. One also must not forget that he ''actually'' managed to summon Wei Wuxian's soul when hundreds of other full-fledged cultivators have been trying to do the same for years with no success. Granted, he used a forbidden spell to pull it off, but still.
* CompressedHair: When Wei Wuxian first reincarnated into Mo Xuanyu's body, the latter's hair is styled in a cross between a bun and a short ponytail, but not much loose hair is shown. When it gets retied later, it's easy for the viewer to assume that Wei Wuxian suddenly grew out a very long ponytail.
* CoolMask: In ''The Untamed'', his habit of [[UncannyValleyMakeup wearing ghostly makeup]] is replaced with donning a mask that hides half his face. Although according to Jin Ling, there are times that Mo Xuanyu went with the makeup instead of the mask.
* DeaderThanDead: The ritual he used to summon Wei Wuxian's soul requires the destruction of his own; meaning his soul can never return to the mortal world.
* DepravedHomosexual: How he came to be known by just about ''everyone''.
* DestroyTheAbusiveHome: His reason for summoning Wei Wuxian.
* {{Expy}}: It's easy to see Mo Xuanyu as one to Shen Qingqiu/Shen Jiu from ''Literature/RenZhaFanPaiZiJiuXiTong'', since both are characters who had to die for the protagonists -- who already died once -- to get reincarnated (in a sense) and get the plot rolling. The difference is that in ''Mo Dao Zu Shi'', there's no transmigration involved.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: In the ''donghua'', he is this instead of a DepravedHomosexual. Rumor is that he would harass anyone and ''anything'' he found pretty, including animals and plants. It's never confirmed on whether this is true or merely the result of gossips exaggerating his homosexuality.
* HiddenDepths: ''The Untamed'' provides his character with a few additional layers. In the novel, all that's known about him is that he's gay and was interested in his half-brother, had a few screws loose, and summoned Wei Wuxian to take revenge on his family. While the last part remains true in the series, the series adds an additional target of Mo Xuanyu's revenge -- namely [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao]]. From this, Wei Wuxian infers that the possible reason Mo Xuanyu really got kicked out of the Jin Sect was because HeKnowsTooMuch about [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao and tried to warn Qin Su before he got thwarted]] and that his insanity was possibly induced by [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao via a song from the Collection of Turmoil]].
* IdenticalStranger:
** While the manga shows that his appearance and Wei Wuxian's original appearance have some similarities but are still distinguishable from the other, his character design in the ''donghua'' makes him look as if he ''is'' Wei Wuxian himself. The only differences are that Mo Xuanyu has longer hair and a shorter and slightly less masculine build, but that's about it.
** The trope is completely played straight in ''The Untamed'', where Wei Wuxian and Mo Xuanyu are played by the same actor. This is justified since it's explicitly stated in the live-action drama that the summoning ritual includes the effect of Wei Wuxian's appearance being slowly assimilated into Mo Xuanyu's body. The only way to tell them apart is that Wei Wuxian has a BeautyMark whereas Mo Xuanyu doesn't.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Downplayed. He's not acknowledged as a candidate for the position of the Jin Sect leader, but he was still enlisted as a guest disciple. While he got kicked out, it's not due to his mother's background but rather, his preference for men.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The events of the book really centered around the sacrifice that brought Wei Wuxian back into the world.

----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The Mo family doesn't seem to be aware of this trope, unfortunately for them, as eventually Mo Xuanyu had enough of their abuse and summoned none other than the [[TheDreaded Yiling Patriarch]] to kill them. One also must not forget that he ''actually'' managed to summon Wei Wuxian's soul when hundreds of other full-fledged cultivators have been trying to do the same for years with no success. Granted, he used a forbidden spell to pull it off, but still.
* CompressedHair: When Wei Wuxian first reincarnated into Mo Xuanyu's body, the latter's hair is styled in a cross between a bun and a short ponytail, but not much loose hair is shown. When it gets retied later, it's easy for the viewer to assume that Wei Wuxian suddenly grew out a very long ponytail.
* CoolMask: In ''The Untamed'', his habit of [[UncannyValleyMakeup wearing ghostly makeup]] is replaced with donning a mask that hides half his face. Although according to Jin Ling, there are times that Mo Xuanyu went with the makeup instead of the mask.
* DeaderThanDead: The ritual he used to summon Wei Wuxian's soul requires the destruction of his own; meaning his soul can never return to the mortal world.
* DepravedHomosexual: How he came to be known by just about ''everyone''.
* DestroyTheAbusiveHome: His reason for summoning Wei Wuxian.
* {{Expy}}: It's easy to see Mo Xuanyu as one to Shen Qingqiu/Shen Jiu from ''Literature/RenZhaFanPaiZiJiuXiTong'', since both are characters who had to die for the protagonists -- who already died once -- to get reincarnated (in a sense) and get the plot rolling. The difference is that in ''Mo Dao Zu Shi'', there's no transmigration involved.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: In the ''donghua'', he is this instead of a DepravedHomosexual. Rumor is that he would harass anyone and ''anything'' he found pretty, including animals and plants. It's never confirmed on whether this is true or merely the result of gossips exaggerating his homosexuality.
* HiddenDepths: ''The Untamed'' provides his character with a few additional layers. In the novel, all that's known about him is that he's gay and was interested in his half-brother, had a few screws loose, and summoned Wei Wuxian to take revenge on his family. While the last part remains true in the series, the series adds an additional target of Mo Xuanyu's revenge -- namely [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao]]. From this, Wei Wuxian infers that the possible reason Mo Xuanyu really got kicked out of the Jin Sect was because HeKnowsTooMuch about [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao and tried to warn Qin Su before he got thwarted]] and that his insanity was possibly induced by [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao via a song from the Collection of Turmoil]].
* IdenticalStranger:
** While the manga shows that his appearance and Wei Wuxian's original appearance have some similarities but are still distinguishable from the other, his character design in the ''donghua'' makes him look as if he ''is'' Wei Wuxian himself. The only differences are that Mo Xuanyu has longer hair and a shorter and slightly less masculine build, but that's about it.
** The trope is completely played straight in ''The Untamed'', where Wei Wuxian and Mo Xuanyu are played by the same actor. This is justified since it's explicitly stated in the live-action drama that the summoning ritual includes the effect of Wei Wuxian's appearance being slowly assimilated into Mo Xuanyu's body. The only way to tell them apart is that Wei Wuxian has a BeautyMark whereas Mo Xuanyu doesn't.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Downplayed. He's not acknowledged as a candidate for the position of the Jin Sect leader, but he was still enlisted as a guest disciple. While he got kicked out, it's not due to his mother's background but rather, his preference for men.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The events of the book really centered around the sacrifice that brought Wei Wuxian back into the world.
* UncannyValleyMakeup: When Wei Wuxian first wakes up in Mo Xuanyu's body, he sees that his face is garishly covered with white powder, with the eyes caked in red. Some characters likened it to a "hanging ghost".
* UnwittingPawn:
** It can't actually be proven, but Wei Wuxian's hypothesis was that [[spoiler: Nie Huaisang used Mo Xuanyu to deliberately summon Wei Wuxian back into the world, kicking off the long XanatosGambit that Nie Huaisang [[BestServedCold had prepared for the downfall of Jin Guangyao as revenge for Nie Mingjue's death]]]].
** ''The Untamed'' plays around with this. Whether or not he remains a [[spoiler: pawn in Nie Huaisang's plans]] isn't confirmed, but either way his role as one is diminished since [[spoiler: in the adaptation he actively sought revenge against both his family ''and'' Jin Guangyao. Whether or not Nie Huaisang used him in his plans, Mo Xuanyu would have found a way to have both his family and his half-brother killed]].

----
* ActionSurvivor: During the Xuanwu Cave arc, she managed to escape Dusk Creek Mountain, even though there were several Wen clansmen hunting anyone who tried to get away.
* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. During the Xuanwu Cave arc, she served purely as a DamselInDistress in the novel. In ''The Untamed'', while she still got nearly branded by Wang Lingjiao, she was able to join the others in the fighting beforehand.
* AscendedExtra: In the LiveActionAdaptation, she's a guest disciple of the Jin Sect rather than a servant of an unnamed and lesser-known sect like she was in the original story; thus she's given a bit more screentime.
* BackForTheFinale: Thirty or so chapters after her appearance during the conference at Koi Tower, she appears again in the epilogue when she and the protagonists run into each other in Guangling.
* ChekhovsGun: Her medicinal pouch -- which she gave to Wei Wuxian either in an embarrassed fit (in the novel) or out of guilt for him getting hurt from protecting her (in the ''donghua'') -- as it ended up being of great help to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji when they got trapped in the Xuanwu Cave. On a more hilarious note, her pouch also shows [[spoiler: how petty Lan Wangji can be when jealous]], since the epilogue reveals that [[spoiler: he stole it from Wei Wuxian and has been using it as his wallet ever since]].
* DamselInDistress: She was this during the Xuanwu Cave arc. This is justified, however, since her weapon was confiscated and she was surrounded by ''armed'' Wen soldiers.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She's the only prominent female character to survive all the way to the epilogue, living a content life as a rogue cultivator with a family of her own.
* {{Foil}}: To Jin Guangyao. Both were born of lowly origins but were given an opportunity to rise in rank after the events of the Sunshot Campaign. However, when faced with the self-serving hypocrisy of the other cultivation clans, Mianmian chose to have none of it and walked away; whereas Jin Guangyao remained a SlaveToPR and thought it's better to keep quiet, bide his time, and get back at anyone who slighted him. In return, Mianmian -- despite giving up her status -- finds happiness with a loving family; whereas Jin Guangyao -- who's driven to preserve and elevate his position -- [[spoiler: lives a life of deceit, murder, and suspicion before finally facing the consequences of his actions]].
* HappilyMarried: She marries a merchant who quit his job to accompany her during night hunts, and bore a daughter with him.
* NamesTheSame: InUniverse; her nickname is Mianmian, and she gave her daughter the same nickname.
* NiceGirl: She had a bit of a temper in the past, but she was still one of the two people who publicly spoke in Wei Wuxian's defense, and even years later continues to feel grateful towards him for saving her life.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Played with. While her real name is revealed since her introduction, in the story almost everyone calls her Mianmian. The only exceptions are Lan Wangji, who refers to her as "Maiden Luo"; and her husband, who calls her by her given name.
* OnlySaneMan: Gender-inverted; she's the only other person besides Lan Wangji who doesn't buy the BlatantLies that the Jin Sect feeds to the other cultivation clans.
* PinkIsFeminine: Her character design in the AnimatedAdaptation features her with pink clothing and hair decorations.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She leaves her sect out of disgust when she defended Wei Wuxian after the Sunshot Campaign but was dismissed by everyone on the sexist pretext of her being a woman who Wei Wuxian saved once.
* ShipperOnDeck: In ''The Untamed'', she's this for Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Her presence is the (unintended) root cause of the fall of the Lotus Pier.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: When she sees just how unreasonable and sexist the other cultivators are, she chooses to leave her sect, even when no one takes her claim seriously.
* TookALevelInBadass: An implicit example. Her main role in the story is being a DamselInDistress. Then the epilogue reveals that since she left her sect, she's been going on night hunts solo.

Wei Wuxian's father and mother, respectively. Wei Changze was formerly a servant of the Jiang Sect, and Cangse Sanren was a disciple of Baoshan Sanren. For a time, they were happy with their son... until the pair died one day on a night-hunt.
----
[[AC: General Tropes]]
* ChildhoodFriends: They were both this with Jiang Fengmian, with Wei Changze being his subordinate and Cangse Sanren having studied with him when they were younger.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: They're one of the very few parents in the story who didn't have issues with either their marriage or raising their child. Naturally, they're dead.
* {{Foil}}: To Jiang Cheng's parents, for the very simple reasons of willingly marrying each other for love instead of political connections and neither neglecting nor mistreating their son. Although both parent duos died in tragic circumstances, leaving their children orphaned at a young age (and ''much'' younger in Wei Wuxian's case).
* GoodParents: It's very likely that they were this to Wei Wuxian, especially since the only memory he has of them is a happy one.
* HappilyMarried: Almost every other parent duo in the story are bound by ArrangedMarriage, hence marital problems were inevitable. These two wed on their own free will, and had no such issues.
* PosthumousCharacter: They're both dead even in the [[WholeEpisodeFlashback flashback arcs]]. This is consistent in all adaptations.
----
[[AC: Tropes that apply to Wei Changze ]]
* ActionDad: Wei Changze was a servant of the Jiang Sect, but he seemed to be skilled enough in cultivation since he and his wife would go night-hunting together.
* TheQuietOne: Implied. Wei Wuxian's sole memory of his parents indicated that Wei Changze was rather quiet and not one for talking.
----
[[AC: Tropes that apply to Cangse Sanren]]
* ActionMom: Cangse Sanren is a disciple of Baoshan Sanren, which is saying something.
* DudeMagnet: Cangse Sanren had many men vying for her hand in marriage, but she chose to be with Wei Changze.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: While not confirmed, it is likely. Cangse Sanren fell in love with a man who is kind but quiet in nature, and so did her son.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: One can be forgiven for translating the mother's name into '''Z'''angse Sanren, since the 藏 in her name can be pronounced as either ''cang'' or ''zang''. The ''donghua'' and the audio drama use the former pronunciation, while the LiveActionAdaptation uses the latter.

A powerful and ancient cultivator whose location is unknown, and the teacher of the late Cangse Sanren and Xiao Xingchen.
----
* ActionGirl: Strongly implied at the very least. She managed to cultivate to immortality, after all, and her students are all said to be highly skilled swordsmen.
* AdaptationExpansion: Baoshan Sanren gets to make an appearance in ''The Untamed'' via a brief flashback involving her and Lan Yi.
* TheAgeless: She's one of the very few cultivators who achieved immortality and is still alive at present.
* AmbiguousGender: Played with. As the Chinese language uses genderless pronouns, whether Baoshan Sanren is truly a woman or a man is unknown. Even the ''manhua'' adaptation was initially unsure on which gender to portray the character with. ''The Untamed'' portrays Baoshan Sanren as a woman, and majority of the fandom goes with the interpretation that Baoshan Sanren is a woman since the fan English translations also make use of female pronouns when referring to the character.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the ''manhua'', Baoshan Sanren was initially drawn as a man before the artist changed it to a woman, [[spoiler: alluding to Wen Qing and how she's really the one who restored Jiang Cheng's golden core]].
* HealingHands: According to others, Baoshan Sanren can restore life and bring flesh back to bone. Wei Wuxian even justifies this as the reason that she can also repair damaged golden cores, [[spoiler: except that he wasn't being honest]].
* TheHermit: She chose to isolate themselves from the rest of the mortal world so as to not get involved with their various conflicts, and she encourage their disciples to do the same.
* MeaningfulName: Baoshan literally translates to "to embrace a mountain", referring to her choice to live in solitude and reside on a mountain.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Inverted. All her three students didn't die peaceful deaths, and the reader even gets to witness the exact circumstances of how her third student kicked the bucket.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: This happened with Yanling Daoren, her first student who left her tutelage. This trope is played with in that Yanling Daoren became evil long after he went down the mountain.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Baoshan Sanren is rumored to be born on the same generation as the founders of the Lan and Wen Sects, who were born centuries ago.
* TheUnseen: She never makes a proper appearance (except for the LiveActionAdaptation due to plot divergence), and is only mentioned by name. This is the case even when Wei Wuxian told Jiang Cheng that she's the only one who can restore his golden core, [[spoiler: although that's because he was lying to him]].

----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In ''The Untamed''. While it would be far-fetched to call him handsome, he's nowhere as obese as he appeared in the AnimatedAdaptation.
* AnArmAndALeg: He loses his left arm after being possessed by an evil spirit.
* AssholeVictim: Almost. The only one who mourns his death is his mother, but not even Wei Wuxian feels even a smidgen of pity for his death.
* DirtyCoward: Played with. He still gets violent, but he's clearly out of his element when his "cousin" starts to fight back against him. Played straight in the ''donghua'', where he runs away when "Mo Xuanyu" kicks him in the face.
* FatBastard: In the ''donghua'' and the ''manhua'', compared to the novel where he's described with a "sickly-looking constitution".
* ForWantOfANail: Mo Xuanyu wouldn't have any reason to summon Wei Wuxian if Mo Ziyuan wasn't cruel towards him, after all.
* KarmicDeath: He abused Mo Xuanyu, who summoned Wei Wuxian to kill him, but Mo Ziyuan ended up dying from stealing one of Wei Wuxian's inventions. Wei Wuxian even lampshades how it's almost like poetic justice.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: He does this often to Mo Xuanyu, literally even. Too bad he failed to realize that [[TheDogBitesBack even lunatics are more than capable of snapping and fighting back]].
* ManChild: Borders on PsychopathicManchild. Even at the age of 17 (or 20 in the LiveActionAdaptation), his mother's doting ensured that he would never mature or wisen up.
* MommasBoy: He's quick to go crying to his mom if distressed or upset.
* SpoiledBrat: The adult version. He's quick to get mad and throw violent tantrums when things don't go this way.
* StickyFingers: He tends to steal all of Mo Xuanyu's belongings, believing that he's entitled to own them.
* TooDumbToLive: Despite being instructed clearly and repeatedly by full-fledged cultivators to not go to the courtyard and touch anything, he ignored their warnings and did just that. Guess what happens to him next.

Jin Guangyao's mother, and a formerly famous prostitute in Yunmeng.
----
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Despite her profession, she wholeheartedly loves her son and is one of the very few positive influences on Jin Guangyao's life.
* DesecratingTheDead: Implied. Her body was buried [[spoiler: underneath the Guanyin temple after her death, but her grave was emptied some time before Jin Guangyao attempted to retrieve her remains]]. What happened to her corpse is unknown, but Wei Wuxian speculates that [[spoiler: her corpse was dismembered and scattered to spite Jin Guangyao, since he did the exact same thing to Nie Mingjue's corpse after sending him into ''qi'' deviation]].
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler: After Jin Guangyao burned down the temple where he and his mother used to work at, he built a temple over its remains and modeled the Guanyin statue after her so people would honor and worship her.]]
* HiddenDepths: She's said to be rather well-educated for a prostitute, as she can read and play the ''guqin''. Not that many think it amounted to much because in the eyes of the public, the stigma of her profession outweighs her talents.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In her defense, she's not the first to be blind to Jin Guangshan's true character and how he doesn't care for any of his mistresses or the children he conceived with them.
* IllGirl: She got an unknown illness some time after giving birth to Jin Guangyao. Her conditioned severely worsened by the time her son was ten years old, and she eventually succumbed to her illness some time later.
* ParentsAsPeople: She never mistreated Jin Guangyao and did her best to take care of him in spite of the environment they lived in. However, she made the (albeit innocent and well-meaning) mistake of telling him about who his father is and instilling in him her hope that he would eventually be accepted into the Jin Sect so they would escape their life of difficulty and poverty. Long after she died, Jin Guangyao never got rid of that hope, which ended up being his undoing.
* PosthumousCharacter: She died long before the Sunshot Campaign began.
* {{Pride}}: She gets accused of this by her co-workers and some of her patrons as well, since she used to be a famous prostitute but held on to the glory of being one even long after she had a son and was no longer in her prime. Even Sisi, the only one who was nice to her, called her out on this.
* RealityEnsues: As she didn't have the wealth or the means to constantly take care of herself, giving birth to a child slowly weathered out Meng Shi over the years which made her less and less desirable for customers. Naturally, this didn't work out in her favor. In one instance, it got her beaten up by a client.

----
* AdaptedOut: Not her, exactly; although the series never showed [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao's flashback during his life in the brothel]] which would then explain why [[spoiler: he spared only Sisi and not the other prostitutes]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While not much is known about her, it still requires a lot of kindness for someone to show concern towards people everyone else either slandered or treated poorly. And whenever she's defending those people, it usually involves her yelling at the others to piss off or getting into a violent catfight with someone who decided to get a little too mouthy.
* CoveredInScars: Her face is full of cuts, and in the novel they're said to be so gruesome that the others are immediately creeped out. This is why she covers up her scarred face with a veil.
* NiceGirl: Everyone in the brothel Jin Guangyao grew up in would always make fun of him or his mother behind their backs. Sisi is the only one who stood up for both of them.
* ProperlyParanoid: She's the only one who realized how suspicious it was for someone to hire several prostitutes who were past their prime and take them somewhere without informing anyone else. She's also the only one who gets spared, albeit for a completely different reason.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed. Between her and Bicao, Sisi had significantly less self-serving reasons to tell the others what she knew. She spent eleven years in prison and then was rescued by someone who urged her to tell her story to the other cultivation clans, which would be a very understandable thing to do from her point of view. Even if she was compensated, Wei Wuxian never noted on her acting out of greed, unlike Bicao.
* VocalEvolution: Sisi sounds completely different in the flashbacks (both when she defended Meng Shi and when [[spoiler: she was called to "service" Jin Guangshan]]) and in the present. This is justified since several years had passed since both events had occurred, and she was also locked up for eleven years.
* WomanScorned: She's on the receiving end of this trope. One of her customers whom she intended to marry had a wife, and said wife hired some thugs to scar her face.

* HaveWeMet: The cultivators gathered in Lotus Pier eventually recognize Bicao when Lan Qiren points out that she looks familiar.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Wei Wuxian suspects that Bicao disobeyed Madam Qin's orders to never [[spoiler: tell anyone the truth about Qin Su's birth]] is because she was offered a hefty sum of money. The fact that Bicao quickly hides her expensive jade bracelet when Wei Wuxian points it out further supports the possibility.

----
* BlatantLies: Wei Wuxian initially refuses to be helpful with him regarding the fierce corpse because he can tell that the guy is hiding vital information from them.

* {{Jerkass}}: While he's not rude or dismissive to the protagonists, they notice that Young Master Qin is obstinate and doesn't think too highly of servants. He even rubs [[NiceGuy Lan Sizhui]] off the wrong way.

A donkey that Wei Wuxian brought along with him after he left Mo Village.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass:
** In every adaptation, Wei Wuxian initially had difficulty in getting the animal to come with him. Although in the ''donghua'', its stubbornness seems to come from personally disliking Wei Wuxian rather than from simply being a PickyEater.
** In the ''donghua'', another example occurs when it intentionally harasses the rabbits in the Cloud Recesses. In the novel, it was only acting aggressive around them because it was hungry.
* BigEater: It can eat several apples at once.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As one would expect from a donkey, Little Apple is stubborn and difficult to have around; but they willingly continued to tag along with Wei Wuxian during the Dafan Mountain arc when they could have just left, and didn't make any noise when they sensed that the latter wasn't in a good mood.
* MeaningfulName: The donkey is called ''Xiao Pingguo'' in Chinese, which literally translates to "Little Apple". Three guesses as to why.
* MrMuffykins: While they're not a dog, but their finicky and stubborn attitude perfectly fits this trope.
* PickyEater: They're very particular about what kind of grass they eat. As described in the novel:
--> ''Although it was only a donkey, it would exclusively eat fresh, young grass with dewdrops still hanging off them. If the tip of the grass had a streak of yellow, it wouldn't eat it... If it didn't eat high-quality food, it wouldn't budge, and it'd lose its temper and kick around.''
* SilentSnarker: In the ''donghua'', where they're almost as expressive as [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Khan]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Guess.
* UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: As already stated, donkeys are noted to be stubborn and are also known as animals of burden. Wei Wuxian himself is headstrong and part of his personality involves shouldering all his troubles and those of his loved ones on his own, while refusing to ask for the help of others.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Lampshaded by Jin Ling, who thinks that a name that means "Little Apple" is stupid for a donkey. This also counts as HypocriticalHumor, since Lan Jingyi points out that Jin Ling gave his own dog an even more ridiculous name.

Jin Ling's pet Husky, a spiritual dog.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Because of the lack of gendered pronouns in the Chinese language, Fairy is referred to as "it" in the fan translations, albeit with the rare occasion of being referred to with male pronouns. In ''The Untamed'', they're played by a ''female'' dog, and the [=WeTV=] subtitles occasionally makes use of female pronouns.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Fairy manages to [[spoiler: understand and imitate the events at the Guanyin temple enough to convey it to other people]], something that no real dog is capable of doing. Generally, they're a lot smarter than the average Husky, and Huskies in RealLife aren't noted for their intelligence.
* BigFriendlyDog: Downplayed, given that they're often called to spook a certain cynophobe, but they're a Husky (a breed of dogs that are as large as wolves) and are generally energetic and playful when their master isn't in danger.
* CanineCompanion: To Jin Ling. That being said, they're not always accompanying him.
* TheDreaded: To Wei Wuxian, who either pales or shrieks in fear at the sight of the dog and already tenses up whenever he hears its barking even from far away.
* EvilDetectingDog: They're a spiritual dog and one that's good at detecting evil creatures and evil intentions.
* HeroicDog: While its mere presence scares the crap out of Wei Wuxian, there's no arguing that the dog is on the side of good.
* MundaneUtility: They're a spiritual dog, and serves as both a scent tracker and AttackAnimal. Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng also use them to intimidate Wei Wuxian.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: They're a dog whose name is "''Xianzi''", which translates to "Fairy". Even Wei Wuxian and Lan Jingyi lampshade the silliness of the name.

----
* ActionSurvivor: During the Xuanwu Cave arc, she managed to escape Dusk Creek Mountain, even though there were several Wen clansmen hunting anyone who tried to get away.
* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. During the Xuanwu Cave arc, she served purely as a DamselInDistress in the novel. In ''The Untamed'', while she still got nearly branded by Wang Lingjiao, she was able to join the others in the fighting beforehand.
* AscendedExtra: In the LiveActionAdaptation, she's a guest disciple of the Jin Sect rather than a servant of an unnamed and lesser-known sect like she was in the original story; thus she's given a bit more screentime.
* BackForTheFinale: Thirty or so chapters after her appearance during the conference at Koi Tower, she appears again in the epilogue when she and the protagonists run into each other in Guangling.
* ChekhovsGun: Her medicinal pouch -- which she gave to Wei Wuxian either in an embarrassed fit (in the novel) or out of guilt for him getting hurt from protecting her (in the ''donghua'') -- as it ended up being of great help to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji when they got trapped in the Xuanwu Cave. On a more hilarious note, her pouch also shows [[spoiler: how petty Lan Wangji can be when jealous]], since the epilogue reveals that [[spoiler: he stole it from Wei Wuxian and has been using it as his wallet ever since]].
* DamselInDistress: She was this during the Xuanwu Cave arc. This is justified, however, since her weapon was confiscated and she was surrounded by ''armed'' Wen soldiers.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She's the only prominent female character to survive all the way to the epilogue, living a content life as a rogue cultivator with a family of her own.
* {{Foil}}: To Jin Guangyao. Both were born of lowly origins but were given an opportunity to rise in rank after the events of the Sunshot Campaign. However, when faced with the self-serving hypocrisy of the other cultivation clans, Mianmian chose to have none of it and walked away; whereas Jin Guangyao remained a SlaveToPR and thought it's better to keep quiet, bide his time, and get back at anyone who slighted him. In return, Mianmian -- despite giving up her status -- finds happiness with a loving family; whereas Jin Guangyao -- who's driven to preserve and elevate his position -- [[spoiler: lives a life of deceit, murder, and suspicion before finally facing the consequences of his actions]].
* HappilyMarried: She marries a merchant who quit his job to accompany her during night hunts, and bore a daughter with him.
* NamesTheSame: InUniverse; her nickname is Mianmian, and she gave her daughter the same nickname.
* NiceGirl: She had a bit of a temper in the past, but she was still one of the two people who publicly spoke in Wei Wuxian's defense, and even years later continues to feel grateful towards him for saving her life.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Played with. While her real name is revealed since her introduction, in the story almost everyone calls her Mianmian. The only exceptions are Lan Wangji, who refers to her as "Maiden Luo"; and her husband, who calls her by her given name.
* OnlySaneMan: Gender-inverted; she's the only other person besides Lan Wangji who doesn't buy the BlatantLies that the Jin Sect feeds to the other cultivation clans.
* PinkIsFeminine: Her character design in the AnimatedAdaptation features her with pink clothing and hair decorations.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She leaves her sect out of disgust when she defended Wei Wuxian after the Sunshot Campaign but was dismissed by everyone on the sexist pretext of her being a woman who Wei Wuxian saved once.
* ShipperOnDeck: In ''The Untamed'', she's this for Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Her presence is the (unintended) root cause of the fall of the Lotus Pier.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: When she sees just how unreasonable and sexist the other cultivators are, she chooses to leave her sect, even when no one takes her claim seriously.
* TookALevelInBadass: An implicit example. Her main role in the story is being a DamselInDistress. Then the epilogue reveals that since she left her sect, she's been going on night hunts solo.

----
[[AC: General Tropes]]
* ChildhoodFriends: They were both this with Jiang Fengmian, with Wei Changze being his subordinate and Cangse Sanren having studied with him when they were younger.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: They're one of the very few parents in the story who didn't have issues with either their marriage or raising their child. Naturally, they're dead.
* {{Foil}}: To Jiang Cheng's parents, for the very simple reasons of willingly marrying each other for love instead of political connections and neither neglecting nor mistreating their son. Although both parent duos died in tragic circumstances, leaving their children orphaned at a young age (and ''much'' younger in Wei Wuxian's case).
* GoodParents: It's very likely that they were this to Wei Wuxian, especially since the only memory he has of them is a happy one.
* HappilyMarried: Almost every other parent duo in the story are bound by ArrangedMarriage, hence marital problems were inevitable. These two wed on their own free will, and had no such issues.
* PosthumousCharacter: They're both dead even in the [[WholeEpisodeFlashback flashback arcs]]. This is consistent in all adaptations.
----
[[AC: Tropes that apply to Wei Changze ]]
* ActionDad: Wei Changze was a servant of the Jiang Sect, but he seemed to be skilled enough in cultivation since he and his wife would go night-hunting together.
* TheQuietOne: Implied. Wei Wuxian's sole memory of his parents indicated that Wei Changze was rather quiet and not one for talking.

* DudeMagnet: Cangse Sanren had many men vying for her hand in marriage, but she chose to be with Wei Changze.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: One can be forgiven for translating the mother's name into '''Z'''angse Sanren, since the 藏 in her name can be pronounced as either ''cang'' or ''zang''. The ''donghua'' and the audio drama use the former pronunciation, while the LiveActionAdaptation uses the latter.

* ActionGirl: Strongly implied at the very least. She managed to cultivate to immortality, after all, and her students are all said to be highly skilled swordsmen.
* AdaptationExpansion: Baoshan Sanren gets to make an appearance in ''The Untamed'' via a brief flashback involving her and Lan Yi.
* TheAgeless: She's one of the very few cultivators who achieved immortality and is still alive at present.
* AmbiguousGender: Played with. As the Chinese language uses genderless pronouns, whether Baoshan Sanren is truly a woman or a man is unknown. Even the ''manhua'' adaptation was initially unsure on which gender to portray the character with. ''The Untamed'' portrays Baoshan Sanren as a woman, and majority of the fandom goes with the interpretation that Baoshan Sanren is a woman since the fan English translations also make use of female pronouns when referring to the character.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the ''manhua'', Baoshan Sanren was initially drawn as a man before the artist changed it to a woman, [[spoiler: alluding to Wen Qing and how she's really the one who restored Jiang Cheng's golden core]].
* HealingHands: According to others, Baoshan Sanren can restore life and bring flesh back to bone. Wei Wuxian even justifies this as the reason that she can also repair damaged golden cores, [[spoiler: except that he wasn't being honest]].
* TheHermit: She chose to isolate themselves from the rest of the mortal world so as to not get involved with their various conflicts, and she encourage their disciples to do the same.
* MeaningfulName: Baoshan literally translates to "to embrace a mountain", referring to her choice to live in solitude and reside on a mountain.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Inverted. All her three students didn't die peaceful deaths, and the reader even gets to witness the exact circumstances of how her third student kicked the bucket.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: This happened with Yanling Daoren, her first student who left her tutelage. This trope is played with in that Yanling Daoren became evil long after he went down the mountain.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Baoshan Sanren is rumored to be born on the same generation as the founders of the Lan and Wen Sects, who were born centuries ago.
* TheUnseen: She never makes a proper appearance (except for the LiveActionAdaptation due to plot divergence), and is only mentioned by name. This is the case even when Wei Wuxian told Jiang Cheng that she's the only one who can restore his golden core, [[spoiler: although that's because he was lying to him]].

* AssholeVictim: Almost. The only one who mourns his death is his mother, but not even Wei Wuxian feels even a smidgen of pity for his death.
* DirtyCoward: Played with. He still gets violent, but he's clearly out of his element when his "cousin" starts to fight back against him. Played straight in the ''donghua'', where he runs away when "Mo Xuanyu" kicks him in the face.
* FatBastard: In the ''donghua'' and the ''manhua'', compared to the novel where he's described with a "sickly-looking constitution".
* ForWantOfANail: Mo Xuanyu wouldn't have any reason to summon Wei Wuxian if Mo Ziyuan wasn't cruel towards him, after all.

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: He does this often to Mo Xuanyu, literally even. Too bad he failed to realize that [[TheDogBitesBack even lunatics are more than capable of snapping and fighting back]].
* ManChild: Borders on PsychopathicManchild. Even at the age of 17 (or 20 in the LiveActionAdaptation), his mother's doting ensured that he would never mature or wisen up.

Her body was buried [[spoiler: underneath the Guanyin temple after her death, but her grave was emptied some time before Jin Guangyao attempted to retrieve her remains]]. What happened to her corpse is unknown, but Wei Wuxian speculates that [[spoiler: her corpse was dismembered and scattered to spite Jin Guangyao, since he did the exact same thing to Nie Mingjue's corpse after sending him into ''qi'' deviation]].
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler: After Jin Guangyao burned down the temple where he and his mother used to work at, he built a temple over its remains and modeled the Guanyin statue after her so people would honor and worship her.]]
* HiddenDepths: She's said to be rather well-educated for a prostitute, as she can read and play the ''guqin''. Not that many think it amounted to much because in the eyes of the public, the stigma of her profession outweighs her talents.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In her defense, she's not the first to be blind to Jin Guangshan's true character and how he doesn't care for any of his mistresses or the children he conceived with them.
* IllGirl: She got an unknown illness some time after giving birth to Jin Guangyao. Her conditioned severely worsened by the time her son was ten years old, and she eventually succumbed to her illness some time later.
* ParentsAsPeople: She never mistreated Jin Guangyao and did her best to take care of him in spite of the environment they lived in. However, she made the (albeit innocent and well-meaning) mistake of telling him about who his father is and instilling in him her hope that he would eventually be accepted into the Jin Sect so they would escape their life of difficulty and poverty. Long after she died, Jin Guangyao never got rid of that hope, which ended up being his undoing.
* PosthumousCharacter: She died long before the Sunshot Campaign began.
* {{Pride}}: She gets accused of this by her co-workers and some of her patrons as well, since she used to be a famous prostitute but held on to the glory of being one even long after she had a son and was no longer in her prime. Even Sisi, the only one who was nice to her, called her out on this.
* RealityEnsues: As she didn't have the wealth or the means to constantly take care of herself, giving birth to a child slowly weathered out Meng Shi over the years which made her less and less desirable for customers. Naturally, this didn't work out in her favor. In one instance, it got her beaten up by a client.

----
* AdaptedOut: Not her, exactly; although the series never showed [[spoiler: Jin Guangyao's flashback during his life in the brothel]] which would then explain why [[spoiler: he spared only Sisi and not the other prostitutes]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While not much is known about her, it still requires a lot of kindness for someone to show concern towards people everyone else either slandered or treated poorly. And whenever she's defending those people, it usually involves her yelling at the others to piss off or getting into a violent catfight with someone who decided to get a little too mouthy.
* CoveredInScars: Her face is full of cuts, and in the novel they're said to be so gruesome that the others are immediately creeped out. This is why she covers up her scarred face with a veil.
* NiceGirl: Everyone in the brothel Jin Guangyao grew up in would always make fun of him or his mother behind their backs. Sisi is the only one who stood up for both of them.
* ProperlyParanoid: She's the only one who realized how suspicious it was for someone to hire several prostitutes who were past their prime and take them somewhere without informing anyone else. She's also the only one who gets spared, albeit for a completely different reason.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed. Between her and Bicao, Sisi had significantly less self-serving reasons to tell the others what she knew. She spent eleven years in prison and then was rescued by someone who urged her to tell her story to the other cultivation clans, which would be a very understandable thing to do from her point of view. Even if she was compensated, Wei Wuxian never noted on her acting out of greed, unlike Bicao.
* VocalEvolution: Sisi sounds completely different in the flashbacks (both when she defended Meng Shi and when [[spoiler: she was called to "service" Jin Guangshan]]) and in the present. This is justified since several years had passed since both events had occurred, and she was also locked up for eleven years.
* WomanScorned: She's on the receiving end of this trope. One of her customers whom she intended to marry had a wife, and said wife hired some thugs to scar her face.

Qin Su's handmaid, and previously Madam Qin's handmaid.
----
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While she told Qin Su about [[spoiler: how she and her husband are half-siblings]], she never accounted for the possibility that [[spoiler: her mistress would kill herself out of despair]]. Wei Wuxian even calls her out on it.
* HaveWeMet: The cultivators gathered in Lotus Pier eventually recognize Bicao when Lan Qiren points out that she looks familiar.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Wei Wuxian suspects that Bicao disobeyed Madam Qin's orders to never [[spoiler: tell anyone the truth about Qin Su's birth]] is because she was offered a hefty sum of money. The fact that Bicao quickly hides her expensive jade bracelet when Wei Wuxian points it out further supports the possibility.
* SecretKeeper: For years, she's the only one who knew about [[spoiler: how Qin Su is yet another of Jin Guangshan's illegitimate children]]. At least, until a good bribe loosened her tongue.

A wealthy man who appears only in the 'Gate-Crashing'' extra. He's been troubled by a fierce corpse constantly rapping at the gates of his house by night and calls for help, receiving the assistance of Lan Sizhui, who's accompanied by Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.
----
* BlatantLies: Wei Wuxian initially refuses to be helpful with him regarding the fierce corpse because he can tell that the guy is hiding vital information from them.
* DueToTheDead
* {{Jerkass}}: While he's not rude or dismissive to the protagonists, they notice that Young Master Qin is obstinate and doesn't think too highly of servants. He even rubs [[NiceGuy Lan Sizhui]] off the wrong way.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Again, downplayed, as when the fierce corpse finally breaks into his house, the worst it does to him is knock him out with one punch before deciding that its business is done. However, the experience does scare Young Master Qin straight in the long run.

A donkey that Wei Wuxian brought along with him after he left Mo Village.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass:
** In every adaptation, Wei Wuxian initially had difficulty in getting the animal to come with him. Although in the ''donghua'', its stubbornness seems to come from personally disliking Wei Wuxian rather than from simply being a PickyEater.
** In the ''donghua'', another example occurs when it intentionally harasses the rabbits in the Cloud Recesses. In the novel, it was only acting aggressive around them because it was hungry.
* BigEater: It can eat several apples at once.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As one would expect from a donkey, Little Apple is stubborn and difficult to have around; but they willingly continued to tag along with Wei Wuxian during the Dafan Mountain arc when they could have just left, and didn't make any noise when they sensed that the latter wasn't in a good mood.
* MeaningfulName: The donkey is called ''Xiao Pingguo'' in Chinese, which literally translates to "Little Apple". Three guesses as to why.
* MrMuffykins: While they're not a dog, but their finicky and stubborn attitude perfectly fits this trope.
* PickyEater: They're very particular about what kind of grass they eat. As described in the novel:
--> ''Although it was only a donkey, it would exclusively eat fresh, young grass with dewdrops still hanging off them. If the tip of the grass had a streak of yellow, it wouldn't eat it... If it didn't eat high-quality food, it wouldn't budge, and it'd lose its temper and kick around.''
* SilentSnarker: In the ''donghua'', where they're almost as expressive as [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Khan]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Guess.
* UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: As already stated, donkeys are noted to be stubborn and are also known as animals of burden. Wei Wuxian himself is headstrong and part of his personality involves shouldering all his troubles and those of his loved ones on his own, while refusing to ask for the help of others.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Lampshaded by Jin Ling, who thinks that a name that means "Little Apple" is stupid for a donkey. This also counts as HypocriticalHumor, since Lan Jingyi points out that Jin Ling gave his own dog an even more ridiculous name.

Jin Ling's pet Husky, a spiritual dog.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Because of the lack of gendered pronouns in the Chinese language, Fairy is referred to as "it" in the fan translations, albeit with the rare occasion of being referred to with male pronouns. In ''The Untamed'', they're played by a ''female'' dog, and the [=WeTV=] subtitles occasionally makes use of female pronouns.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Fairy manages to [[spoiler: understand and imitate the events at the Guanyin temple enough to convey it to other people]], something that no real dog is capable of doing. Generally, they're a lot smarter than the average Husky, and Huskies in RealLife aren't noted for their intelligence.
* BigFriendlyDog: Downplayed, given that they're often called to spook a certain cynophobe, but they're a Husky (a breed of dogs that are as large as wolves) and are generally energetic and playful when their master isn't in danger.
* CanineCompanion: To Jin Ling. That being said, they're not always accompanying him.
* TheDreaded: To Wei Wuxian, who either pales or shrieks in fear at the sight of the dog and already tenses up whenever he hears its barking even from far away.
* EvilDetectingDog: They're a spiritual dog and one that's good at detecting evil creatures and evil intentions.
* HeroicDog: While its mere presence scares the crap out of Wei Wuxian, there's no arguing that the dog is on the side of good.
* MundaneUtility: They're a spiritual dog, and serves as both a scent tracker and AttackAnimal. Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng also use them to intimidate Wei Wuxian.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: They're a dog whose name is "''Xianzi''", which translates to "Fairy". Even Wei Wuxian and Lan Jingyi lampshade the silliness of the name.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: A few characters have speculated that he may be Xue Yang's ancestor.
* TheBeastmaster: When he was alive, he controlled the Tortoise of Slaughter.
* CanonForeigner: Xue Chonghai's existence is what influences series' canon-divergent plot, which involves the existence of the Stygian Iron and why both Wen Ruohan and Xue Yang have been practicing demonic cultivation ''before'' Wei Wuxian.
* EvilSorcerer: He's this in a nutshell, complete with creating an artifact fueled with evil power and living sacrifices.
* GreaterScopeVillain: His creation of the Stygian Iron is what gave Wen Ruohan the opportunity to subjugate the cultivation world. The Stygian Iron's existence is also filled the Jin Sect with ambition, leading to their attempts to try and take over after the Wen Sect was defeated.
* LaughingMad: His only two appearances have him doing this.
* MadnessMakeover: After he got mad from using the Stygian Iron, when Wen Mao finds him, he appears completely disheveled and has a maniacal expression on his face.
* MysteriousPast: Lan Yi even states that no one knew why he turned evil and created the Stygian Iron.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: After he becomes insane, his eyes are shown to be glowing a permanent red.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: While not explained in detail, his choice to create the Stygian Iron and nourish it with resentful energy took quite the toll on his mental state.

** She has a lot in common with Wen Qing. Same name whether written in ''hanzi'' or ''pinyin''? Check. Has a younger brother who she cared for? Check. Burned to death? Also check. [[spoiler: Except that Xiao Yi isn't really her younger brother.]]
** She's also similar to [[spoiler: Xiao Xingchen]]. While she's not [[spoiler: blinded or tricked into killing anyone like he was, nor did she commit suicide]], she's a PosthumousCharacter that [[spoiler: the villain tries in vain to revive]].

* CanonForeigner: He doesn't exist in the novel or in any of the other adaptations that more closely follow the novel's canon. As seen in {{Expy}} below, however, the plot of ''The Living Dead'' is similar to the novel-canonical Yi City arc.
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler: Wen Ning decides to not kill him, outright stating that he deserves to live with the pain of his crimes for eternity.]]
* {{Expy}}:
** To Wen Ning, minus being a fierce corpse. Both have an older sister that they lost in tragic circumstances. [[spoiler: This is subverted, as the real truth is a lot more sinister and complicated.]]
** Another character who he's more heavily based off of is [[spoiler: Xue Yang]].
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: He suffers this in the climax; Wen Ning makes it so that he's unable to die, and he also trapped in his headspace, where he's chained up and screaming in suffering as he will endlessly live with the consequences of his actions.]]
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He turns on [[spoiler: the Xiao family after being abused by the disciples one too many times]].
