Chi Shou

**Chi Shou** (*Chinese: 痴兽 pinyin: Chī Shòu* *lit. Foolish Beast*) is a Demon and one of the Three Beasts, and one of the overarching antagonists of Fog Hill of Five Elements, alongside Tan Shou and Chen Shou.

## Appearance

In comparison to many Demons, Chi Shou possesses a rather human-like build and height but lacks a nose and mouth. She has sand-blonde hair that reaches the ground and spills out behind out her and pure dark blue eyes with no discernable pupils or iris. However, when she experiences extreme emotion or wishes to be intimidating, energy forms in her eyes and shapes into pupils; a magenta one in the right eye and blue in the left. Her skin is two-toned; the exposed parts of her body are deep gray, save for her hands, forehead and the sides of her face. On her forehead are two horns that are the colors as her skin, and she also has two small, black dots on her forehead just above the base of the horns.

For clothing, Chi Shou wears a billowy white and gray robe with a black trim that covers her hands and feet. The robe is primarily white around the center, with two gray stripes with black trim stretching down from the shoulders to around the shins. There is a small patch of lavender cloth right at the center of the chest with two black lines intersecting over it, forming and 'X.' The sleeves have a single lavender trim circling around the area just above the elbow, which then travels down the interior of the sleeves to meet the black-and-gray stripe trim of the sleeve cuffs.

## Personality

Rather fitting for her name, Chi Shou is rather caustic and prone to powerful emotional outbursts. However, she is not impulsive, and capable of planning while giving the advice of her subordinate Demons like Qing Pi weight and consideration. Between her and Tan Shou, she's the one who primarily interacts their Demon army, rallying them and for battle or issuing orders, such as ordering Jiao Wei, Jue Ying, and Shan Zhu to hunt down the Qilin's son and Wenren Yixuan.

When interacting with the Five Envoys, she shows her snide and haughty side, taunting them after it was discovered Chen Shou escaped. In particular, she holds enmity, but wary respect, towards Xuanyuan Shenjun, primarily due to his meticulous nature and knowledge. She's also rather confident, firmly believing once they have the Qilin scales they'll be able to break free and defeat the Five Envoys. However, she can still be caught off-guard with unforeseen events, such as Shan Zhu dying.
