Mi Fu

6

Mi Fu’s primary narrative function revolves around her complicated relationship with Tangtang and the Qingbo Stockade. She is tasked with chasing down and capturing Tangtang, creating a cat-and-mouse dynamic that drives several story beats in the Wuling region. Interestingly, Perlica observes that Mi Fu never truly commits to taking Tangtang or her gang down for good, suggesting a more nuanced motivation beneath the surface rivalry. Mi Fu originally grew up in Qingbo Stockade, where she trained under traditional martial arts masters from a very young age. However, years ago, Viceroy Zhuang Fangyi enticed her away to Wuling City (allegedly using Sugar Oil Baba snacks). Because she left to serve their rivals, the Stockade labels her a "traitor," though she remains the true successor of Qingbo's martial arts style. Ranked second on Wuling's civilian combat power leaderboard, she fought to the bitter end against the dangerous Blight Tide. Seeking to find worthy opponents and protect her allies, she eventually sets out on an exchange journey with Endfield Industries. Although her official uniform and colossal Greatsword mimic Wuling's standard military protocol, her actual combat kit is deeply rooted in physical martial arts. She shares a deep childhood history and intense rivalry with Tangtang, the Chief of Qingbo Stockade. While the two fight fiercely whenever they cross paths, Mi Fu never deals a lethal blow to Tangtang. Their cat-and-mouse dynamic reflects the underlying truce between Wuling City and the Stockade.
