55 Background
66  
77 As the daughter of the Order's founding Patriarch, Mu Xiaokui occupied a unique position within the organization. She was not simply a figurehead or a political asset but an active participant in the Order's operations. Her father ensured she received the same rigorous training as the Order's other operatives, and she proved more than capable of holding her own.

1010 Her childhood friendship with Soul and Zuo Shang places her at the emotional center of the game's central conflict. The murder of her father, the framing of her childhood friend, and the betrayal by another create a triangle of loyalty, grief, and suspicion that drives much of the story's emotional weight.

1414 Despite having a somewhat arrogant and conceited disposition on the surface, Mu Xiaokui is actually a lovely, smart, and energetic person. She is often seen being empathetic toward people in side quests and has a kind manner toward many NPCs. This contrast between her outward confidence and her underlying compassion makes her one of the more nuanced characters in the Phantom Blade universe.

1919 After the Patriarch's assassination, Mu Xiaokui is caught between her duty to the Order and her personal bonds with Soul. She does not immediately accept the official version of events but cannot simply ignore the evidence presented against him. Her investigation into the truth runs parallel to Soul's own quest, and the two cross paths at several critical junctures.

2222 S-GAME has described her as a character who makes decisions based on her own judgment rather than following orders blindly. She is willing to defy the Order's remaining leadership if she believes they are wrong, but she is also pragmatic enough to work within the system when it serves her goals.
