Jiao Wei

Jiao Wei (*Chinese: 焦 尾 Pinyin: Jiāo Wěi lit: Scorched Tail) is* a Demon in service to the Three Venerable Beasts. He is one of the three Demons sent after Wenren Yixuan following the latter's victory over Chen Shou and recovery of the Qilin's son. He serves as one of the antagonists for Season 2, along with Shan Zhu and Jue Ying.

## Appearance

Jiao Wei's body is a combination of avian and mammalian features with a long torso, a lanky arm, short legs, and a furry tail. His body is covered in deep-sea green fur with a lighter shade running down from his forehead to the interior of his legs and the underside of his arms. His fang-filled beak is a pale tan with a small arrow-shaped mark on the bridge. His sole arm ends in three fingers and each leg has three toes in a similar manner to anisodactyl birds. On the top of his head are two stumps that can regrow into two long horns along with grey hair. His eyes match his fur's color, with the sclera matching the dark green and the iris's the lighter shade.

Jiao Wei wears a rather simple attire. He wears two-toned golden bands on his upper chest and wrists and wears a brown with orange-trim cloak draped over his shoulders to cover the burned stump where his left arm used to be.

## Personality

Jiao Wei is an ill-tempered and aggressive demon fueled by his personal vendetta against Wenren Yixuan. His resentment towards the Fire Envoy is strong enough that the moment he was selected to hunt down Yixuan, he left immediately without bothering to plan with Jue Ying or Shan Zhu and could not be stemmed by Yixuan's willingness to spare his life.

While easily angered, his bitterness stems from his inability to save his friend and keep his arm 10 years prior to the plot. He, like other demons, believes that Demons' need to devour humans is not inherently evil and should not be prevented.
