to:

* HairTriggerTemper: Despite how he looks, he’s actually just as hotheaded as Mapo Tofu and the two frequently get into arguments. He’s actively learning to control his temper, but so far it isn’t very effective.



* ThirdPersonPerson: Refers to himself as "Charrie" to play up his cute factor.



* CriticalStatusBuff: If he activates his third skill when having less than 50% HP, he becomes Invincible for 1 round.



* TurnsRed: If he activates his third skill when having less than 50% HP, he becomes Invincible for 1 round.



* ProudBeauty: He is ''incredibly'' cocky about his beauty and constantly mentions it. He considers himself more beautiful than ''Buddha’s Temptation''.
* RedHerring: The player can be led to believe that Osmanthus Wine is somehow responsible for the Guanghan Palace’s drastic changes; the fact that he tried to put the young master and Moon Cake under house arrest and seems to cooperate with Yipin Pot - who acts antagonistic himself - doesn’t help his case. It turns out the Guanghan Palace had already been in shambles since his arrival, which weakened him, so he listened to Yipin Pot to find a way to recover its core power to get better himself.

It turns out that the Guanghan Palace had already been in shambles since his arrival, which weakened him, so he listened to and he’s just as clueless as anyone else.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can understand his osprey, but is occasionally too ditzy to understand its implication. He was also the one who translated the textual clue from Squid in the ''Mystery Phantom'' event.

A Huanan Cuisine. Put Squid, Sea Cucumber, Shiitake, Prawns, Silken Tofu and other ingredients into the claypot and eat it together. His character is a little rigid and uncompromising. A law-abiding man who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong.



*

to:

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He realizes the fake censor's true identity because the censor's letter was delivered from Chang'an, yet the felt mat on their camel is a Persian carpet that is popular in the western regions. The first group of merchants carrying goods like that is still waiting about Mingsha Mountain for inspection, which means the real censor couldn’t have bought them.
* TheComicallySerious: In his first letter, with utmost seriousness, he discusses some behaviors in Kongsang to see if they can be considered violations of the law, including Harbin Fried Pork’s TrainingFromHell, Suckling Pig Roast’s accidental destruction of properties, and…Geely Shrimp’s ShipperOnDeck tendencies.
* HeelRealization: He comes to the realization that "Shadow of the Night" has been enacting the same justice that East Longan Pearls and he himself are upholding, thus he feels that the law is no longer adequate to judge the thief and tries to get East Longan Pearls TakenOffTheCase - emphasis on ''tries''. Later, he also admits that he’s at fault for allowing the {{Corrupt Bureaucrat}}s to trample on the laws right in front of him.
* NoSocialSkills: He’s eloquent and talkative when the subjects are related to the law, but outside of it he has difficulty putting his thoughts into words even though he has mentally prepared himself, takes everything so seriously that he becomes TheComicallySerious, and when he gets nervous, he throws down his tablets and just stares at them until he regains his composure.
* SituationalSword: "Fair Ruling" doesn’t have a lot of niches, but is the perfect counter for OneHitKill since DMG share allows the whole team to survive, and the lost HP can always be healed back unlike a defeated unit.
* {{Synchronization}}: His third skill "Fair Ruling" grants all allies the unique buff Soul Chain for 1 round, splitting all their direct DMG taken.
* ScalesOfJustice: His unique decor, "Careful Consideration", is a see-saw seat in the form of a scales. Hilariously, when Seafood Tofu Stew sits on it, the scales stop swinging.
* TookALevelInBadass: He spends most of the event being pushed around and held captive, so the moment he [[RageBreakingPoint snaps]] and holds [[CorruptBureaucrat Grand Protectorate Yang]] at knifepoint for attacking East Longan Pearls InTheBack as he berates the bastard is quite unexpectedly badass.
* {{Workaholic}}: He’s very focused on studying laws or reading the files overtime, sometimes to the point of not noticing others approaching. His special gift is a bottle of eyedrops, and in one of his voice lines the young master teaches him some eye exercises as well to help him with his works.

Added DiffLines:


Bulatt, or Biluo, is a flour-based dish with sweet or salty stuffing brought in from the Western Region during the Tang Dynasty and gradually localized. Upon becoming a Food Soul, he became a polite, agile, and clever young man dressed in exotic garments and with secret desires in his heart.


Added DiffLines:

* AffectionateNickname: He lovingly calls the young master "little daisy" in several of his voice lines.
* AmbiguousSituation: What happened to the real Prince Pirooz, and how much of Pirooz‘s historical deeds were done by Cherry Biluo instead? The prince went missing presumably at a young age and was replaced by his IdenticalStranger Cherry Biluo, but Cherry Biluo mentions that the national treasure ring "Sunset" was given to him by Pirooz, meaning they had met face-to-face at one point, and if the words of Boneless Carp[[labelnote:Quote]] "Did you expect me to watch as you place all your hope in Grand Protectorate Yang?"[[/labelnote]] - who knows his true identity as a Food Spirit - can be taken seriously, Cherry Biluo has been the one who asked for help from the Tang dynasty.
* AncientPersia: He originated from and was a prince of the Sassanian Empire, the last Iranian empire before the early Muslim conquests. As such, his outfit and demeanor are all dripping with the exotic Western Region’s culture, and his favorite gift is Saffron spice, an item of great significance in Persia. His motive in ''Loulan Inception'' is to revive the nation after its demise.
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He betrayed the young master and East Longan Pearls to find the Loulan treasure that he believed can revive his homeland, and almost let them drown to ensure that no one would get in his way. However, he only resorted to using the treasure because the Tang dynasty never responded to his plead for help, and didn’t expect the Loulan soldiers to go rouge and everyone to attack each other under the effect of the Loulan blooms. When chaos starts to unfold, he is horrified and desperately begging for it to stop, proclaiming that bloodshed has never been his intention.]]
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Prince Pirooz, or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroz_III Peroz III]], is an actual historical figure of the Tang Dynasty. {{Subverted}} in that Cherry Biluo only impersonated Pirooz, and the real Pirooz was probably human.
* BrokenTears: He is full-on sobbing during the chaos caused by Boneless Carp and the Loulan statues, begging them to stop as that wasn’t what he wanted and having an IdentityBreakdown.


Added DiffLines:

* CriticalStatusBuff: Whenever his HP drops below 50%, he enters an invincible state, summons Loulan's soldiers to attack all his enemies and apply the [[LifeDrain Leech]] debuff.
* DelicateAndSickly: His profile mentions that he was born sickly and couldn't participate in combat directly, thus he has to fight via his SummonMagic.
* KingIncognito: He first appears as a merchant from Tokharistan, but his true identity is Prince Pirooz of the lost Sassanian Empire...[[MistakenIdentity or so everyone is led to believed]]. Nonetheless, Cherry Biluo keeps up his role until the very end and [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy persists in history in the real Pirooz‘s place]].
* IdentityBreakdown: He calls himself the prince of the Sassanian Empire when wondering why he can’t order the Loulan statues to stop slaughtering people, but then immediately corrects himself that he’s just Cherry Biluo and not the actual prince at all. The confusion, combined with the pressure and anguish he’s facing, causes him to emotionally break down. Thankfully the young master affirms that although he isn’t Prince Pirooz, he can still be a honorable prince of Persia as he fights to protect the remains of his empire.
* MistakenIdentity: He was originally the youngest son of a wealthy tycoon in Chang'an, but was kidnapped and mistaken for the missing prince of the Sassanian Empire due to having [[IdenticalStranger identical appearance]]. However, he was charmed by the exotic culture on his way to the Western Region and accepted his new identity.
* PrincelyYoungMan: He’s a gallant, cordial young man of royal background. Thanks to being a dish from the Western Region, he also inherits the people’s romanticism and is very courteous to any lady he meets.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: As the last prince of the Sassanian Empire, he takes the responsibility of re-establishing his nation upon himself, either by begging the Tang dynasty for help or by using the Loulan weapon to gain the power to fight the Arabs.
* SandBlaster: His dagger allows him to gather sand and turn it into a Loulan Soldier in his first skill.
* SarcasmBlind: He’s confused when East Longan Pearls mockingly calls him a "storyteller" after his detailed exposition of why he chose the constable as his escort.
--> '''Dong Sima:''' "…I didn't know you were also a storyteller in Tokharistan."
--> '''Bula:''' "What?"
* SummonMagic: He summons the Loulan Soldiers from sand to fight for him and protect him.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:When East Longan Pearls attempts to destroy the altar, Cherry Biluo reaches out to block his sword and gets his hand injured, but his only concern is that the ritual can go on.]]
* WarriorPoet: He quotes excerpts from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubaʿi Rubaiyat]] quite often in his letters and asks if the young master wants to revise the poem with him in his Greet voice line. In battle, he also fights poetically by calling upon the Loulan Soldiers, last remnants of Persia’s glory.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: All he wants when trying to revive his nation is to see his homeland again before the demise of Persia.

A new year staple in reunion dinners at spring, he’s deeply influenced by festive atmosphere and programs since he came into being. His accent often takes on a distinctive Spring Festival Gala-esque flavor. He eventually settles in the Green Hills as a famous announcer.
----
* TheAnnouncer: His entire schtick. More specifically, he’s an announcer for Spring Festival Gala - a special show aired during Lunar New Year to look back on the previous year and spread the festivity for a happy upcoming year with gameshows, music and preparations for the festival. It requires a specific energy to handle the Gala from start to end, and New Year Fish does it flawlessly every time with his unique blend of control and style.
* PerpetualSmiler: As expected from a professional show host, he always keeps the atmosphere jovial whenever he appears and never loses his smile.
* StepfordSmiler: In his third letter, he admits that while he has determined to make the eternally upbeat "Spring Festival Gala announcer" his entire persona, in the end he can still have sadness and low spirits, and fears that’s unbecoming for him. However, thanks to the young master’s suggestion, he takes up vlogging where he shows his more demure self behind-the-scene and occasionally complains on his blog, then finds out that everyone also likes him for who he really is.

* FlowerMotifs: He wears peonies on his hair and clothes, and is said to like them because they are seen as a symbol of prosperity, happiness, and peace in traditional Chinese culture.



* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: While it’s difficult for him to get drunk, when he does, he starts dancing and singing wildly and forces everyone to call him "Uncle Guo" instead of "Butler Guo". He’s so embarrassed about this that he will go destroying any evidence of his drunken moments as soon as he’s sober.

* CrutchCharacter: As the first SR character and an [=AoE=] damage dealer in the team, he’s going to carry the player for a good part of their starter contents, but can be easily outshined by other SSR characters who can serve the same role but hit harder or inflict more lasting debuffs. {{Downplayed}} in that he can still be useful when the player needs an extra [=AoE=] damage dealer who can reduce DEF to assist the main one in the team.
* TheDreaded: The residents of Kongsang, especially the young master, are quite alarmed by his TrainingFromHell.strict discipline and TrainingFromHell. He’s even nicknamed the "Evil Spirit of Kongsang", just to show how feared he is.



* GameplayAndStorySegregation: He’s the second character the player gets by default after Hu-Geng, but unlike Hu-Geng who stays by the young master’s side since the start of the main story, Harbin Fried Pork only makes his first appearance in the epilogue of Chapter 7, after the young master has gathered a large number of Food Spirits back to Kongsang.



* PerpetualSmiler: He rarely ever loses his smile, even when he’s pissed off or threatening someone. The only indication is that his face is shaded.



* StarterMon: He’s the first SR unit the player gets for free after the Summon tutorial.



* InterfaceSpoiler: His face is meant to be revealed when he’s ascended to five Petals, but the player can totally view it beforehand through the Outfit preview section.

* AntiDebuff: His passive skill "Guest Libations" has an 80% chance to purify every ally of 1 debuff before each round, making him a strong counter to characters whose gameplay relies greatly on debuff like [[DamageIncreasingDebuff Sichuan Hotpot]].
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He absolutely adores his creator Su Dongpo and prizes his works above all. In fact, although he is not actually not that learned, he knows every poem written by Su Dongpo.
* LifeOfTheParty: He leads a carefree life where eating, drinking and having fun is all that matters. Aside from brewing wine, he also loves drinking with friends and frequently hosts lavish banquets that lasted all night in the mortal world.



* BerserkButton: Right in his Encounter voice line, he mentions that he cannot tolerate people misnaming him to "Ka-pow Chicken". This is a Chinese wordplay, wherein 保 (bǎo) in 宫保 (Kung Pao) means "protect" while 爆 (bào) in 宫爆 (Ka-pow) means "violence".



* HumbleHero: Even though he’s awarded by Kongsang for his contributions, he doesn’t think of himself as commendable as Harbin Fried Pork or Dezhou Chicken since he’s just doing what he’s assigned. When given gifts, he will also state that he isn’t worthy of it.

* RedHerring: The player can be led to believe that Osmanthus Wine is somehow responsible for the Guanghan Palace’s drastic changes; the fact that he tried to put the young master and Moon Cake under house arrest and seems to cooperate with Yipin Pot - who acts antagonistic himself - doesn’t help his case.

* SituationalSword: His third skill, "Falling Osmanthus", is infamous for being so situational that it generally does more harm than good. It prolongs ''all'' StatusEffects the whole team has, debuffs included - which means he can make the team more vulnerable or outright kill the team faster if the debuff in question is [[DamageOverTime Poison]]. As such, he can only be safely used when the enemy doesn’t give debuffs, and has greatest utility when paired with another SupportPartyMember who provides buffs. It is also universally agreed that he shouldn’t be used in auto.

* LeeroyJenkins: Contrary to the [[TheStoic stoic]] impression he gives, he
can be quite blurry.brash and attacks people simply because he finds them annoying without thinking through. In the ''Azure Horizon'' event, he freezes the palace guard after he refused to let the young master through without an invitation (which they lost earlier), and as a result gets the group in jail until Shunde Raw Fish recognizes and releases them.
* MundaneUtility: If his Work voice line is to be believed, the young master has asked him to make shaved ice before.
* MysticalWhiteHair: He’s constantly mistaken for a deity, and his white hair might not help his case.
* PersonalityPower: He has power over [[AnIcePerson ice]] and is also a stoic [[TheHermit hermit]]. He's so distant that his first letter to the young master when you Star Up is exactly ''one'' word long.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He’s "sugar" (a desert made from lotus seeds cooked in sugar) and "ice" (AnIcePerson) in the most literal sense. In a less literal sense, though he seems cold and aloof, when someone has enough patience to approach him (and not pissing him off in the process), he’s revealed to be quite simpleminded and innocent about his emotions. He can also be cordial to those he considers pleasant, like how he acts towards the young master and Yangzhou Rice in the ''Azure Horizon'' event.
* UnwantedFalseFaith: He came to be known and worshipped as Saint Lotus after rescuing mortals, and only continues to grant the wishes of those who light a lotus votive lamp in hope that he may be left in peace. It has the total opposite effect, to his dismay.
