Tushan Rongrong

Tushan Rongrong (涂山容容), is a deuteragonist in Fox Spirit Matchmaker. She is second in command in Tushan after her sister Yaya. She is known as the brains of Tushan.

## Personality

Rongrong is a Fox Spirit with a relatively quiet, calm and thoughtful nature. A born strategist she prefers using carefully laid out plans in dealing with problems instead of the brute force approach like Honghong or Yaya.

Rongrong, is very shrewd and sagacious. Her careful calculations and planning enable her to see through others' own plans and actions; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she can predict the future (though this is not due to any special power, just her own insight to see outcomes and consequences of actions). She is very strict with her budgeting, so she never lets anyone get away without paying back their debts, like Bai Yuechu. She is in charge of Tushan's businesses especially with money.

Rongrong, is shown to be helpful to those in need, (unless they have bad intentions towards her), one example, is when she used her knowledge and magic, to try and help Qing Tong, unite with the reincarnation of her past lover, Wang Fugui and healed Qing Tong's injuries, even saving her from death.

While generally being a calm person, Rongrong is capable of losing her temper and lashing out at people, particularly when the people she cares about are in danger. An example, being when she shouted at Wang Fugui's grandfather and whacked him on the head with her abacus, when he was too slow to make a calculation about where Tushan Susu's would end up after being hit by the Void Tear. She is generally very slow to anger most of the time.

Tushan Rongrong is probably the most intelligent character in the series. She has a plan for nearly everything and is often several steps ahead of other characters in a fox-like way. She can be mischievous at times, occasionally trolling characters like Bai Yuechu and Dongfang Yuechu.

## Appearance

Rongrong is a female Tushan Fox Spirit with a youthful appearance, even though she is over 500 years old, as typical of her race. She is rather short with fair skin, vivid green hair and medium brown eyes. Her Fox ears are a shade of brown. Rongrong, is often seen with a smile on her face. She almost always keeps her eyes closed, and when she opens them it is often used by the narrative to indicate something serious is happening.

Her main outfit consists of a blue dress, with a light greenish brown jacket on top. The jacket has shoulder sleeves of the same colour and material, whilst the rest of her sleeves are made of a puffy material and light green. There are trims on the top and end of her jacket, that look like the same material, as the light green puffy sleeves. Her jacket is tied with a brown waist band, with dark green thread tied around it, that includes a moon broach.

## Role

After, the death or disappearance of Tushan Honghong, Tushan Rongrong, resumed her role as second in command of Tushan. She now assists her younger sister, Tushan Yaya, the current #1 in Tushan and acting Fox Spirit Queen, in ruling Tushan. Her duties include making sure that all debts are paid and overseeing Matchmaker assignments. She also plots to ensure the reincarnation of Dongfang Yuechu will be found and eventually fall in love with Susu so that Tushan Honghong can return. She has so far attempted this with several of Dongfang's reincarnations, but not yet been successful in awakening Honghong from where she slumbers inside of Susu. She initially believes Susu is Honghong, while Tushan Yaya does not seem to share this belief, or doesn't think there is sufficient evidence. Yaya soon comes to see she was right as Bai Yuechu and Susu get closer and more evidence comes forth.

## Inventions

Rongrong is known as the Chief Strategist or 'Smartest in Tushan' (最强智囊). Though her sister Yaya is stronger in terms of raw spirit power, Rongrong makes up for it with her brains, having researched and invented many important *Manufactured Magic Weapons* and chemical formulae to assist in matchmaking and defending Tushan. The show hints that she is capable of many more magic techniques and abilities, and it is clear that one as crafty as her has several trump cards and tricks up her sleeves.

### **Deep Yin Water**

*See also: Deep Yin Water*
Tushan invented Deep Yin Water hundreds of years ago. It can extinguish Bai Yuechu's Chunzhi Yangyan.

In Season 2 at the start of the Battle of Tushan, when Bai Yuechu was being controlled by Luolan, he fired his Xukong Zhilei to destroy Tushan's reservoir of Deep Yin Water. It appears to take some time to prepare, and so destroying the reservoir has made Tushan somewhat vulnerable to being able to stop Pure Yang Flame.

## Powers

### **Healing**

Tushan Rongrong, is able to heal Spirits and Humans from any type of injury. In the anime, it is stated that she learned this ability from Cuiyu Ling. She has passed on this ability to Dongfang Yuechu. She appears to have been motivated to learn how to do this after being captured along with Honghong and being frustrated for not having learned healing magic earlier to save their savior from his mortal wound. Since then, she has learned how to do this.

### **Shapeshifting**

Rongrong can shapeshift into the any physical form she desires and can create multiple copies of this form. This technique appears to be mostly illusionary and not actually grant physical changes. She taught this to her apprentice Yan Ryu.

### **True Fox Reading Technique**

*See also: Hunian Zhishu*
Fox Reading Technique (狐念之术): While considered a low level skill, said to mainly be used by fox spirits to mess with people, Rongrong has mastered this skill and no one can currently surpass her in it (not even her more powerful sisters). Using this technique she can telepathically control people's bodies moving their body like a puppet or preventing them from moving at all. In the Manhua she teaches this ability to Bai Yuechu. Rongrong also developed the method of having several fox spirits perform the technique in conjunction to control even powerful users.

### **Dream God**

Rongrong is able to remove someone's spirit from their body and use it to enter their mind and witness or interact with their dreams or thoughts. In Arc 4, after Bai Yuechu agrees to help Rongrong, she pats Bai Yuechu on the back and then his soul leaves his body and goes into Honghong's dreams and memories. She appears to be able to use this on herself as well as others by touching them.
