Messy short black hair with a few strands of deep blue dyed at the front, sharp reddish-brown eyes, and a silver stud in his left ear. He wears a black leather biker jacket, dark grey high-necked base layer and work trousers, with black short boots; a red tengu mask hangs from one side of his head, and folded behind him is a pair of huge glossy black wings whose feathers drip when it rains. Every night at two he rides his flying black motorbike to Fox Lantern to deliver goods.
Personality. Stubborn, impatient, and tsundere; he despises lateness and broken promises. The Tengu clan looks down on humans, and he always says "Humans are nothing but trouble," yet he is the first to remember the player's name. Every night, he "happens to be passing by" with late-night snacks (roasted sweet potatoes, oden, hot milk), claiming "I bought an extra one" when asked. He owes Bai Ye a huge debt of gratitude—Bai Ye once sheltered him during a blizzard after he was injured—so he helps out at the store while complaining about it. He and Lu Chen are natural rivals, exchanging barbs whenever they meet, but standing back-to-back against danger when things get serious. He calls the player "Hey" or "Human," only awkwardly using their name once they become familiar; though he complains about the trouble, he never actually kicks the player out. Signature line: "...It's cold outside. Don't get me wrong, I was just passing by."
