Character from Beware of Chicken by Casualfarmer
The fox-faced Xong brother — an illusionist, photographer, and prankster who can become a woman, wield a spirit sword, and look beautiful doing all of it.
Yun Ren is the clever one. Where Gou Ren is stone and reliability, Yun Ren is mist and misdirection. His cultivation manifests as wisps of light and illusion — the Befuddling Mist of Da Ji, named after the legendary fox spirit who may be his distant ancestor. He creates illusions, takes photographs with image crystals, and approaches most problems by asking 'what if they just didn't see us?' He infiltrated the Shrouded Mountain Sect alongside Bi De and Ri Zu, using his illusionist abilities and fox-transformation to navigate a hostile environment. The experience sharpened him from prankster to something more dangerous — someone who understands that deception can be a weapon or a shield, and chooses shield more often. His engagement to Cao Biyu began over an image crystal sale and blossomed because they're both artists working in different media. He wields Summer's Sky, a spirit sword, which feels like a contradiction for an illusionist until you realize that the best trick is making someone forget you also have a sword.
Slightly shorter than his brother with a perpetual squint-eyed, fox-like expression that perfectly matches his personality. Wears a ponytail and has a scar on his cheek from a branch injury. Fox bloodline traits give his features a wily, clever cast. Can transform to appear as a woman with sharp, narrow eyes with red framing.
