Ding Li

**Ding Li** (丁李 Chō Ri) is the youngest child of the seventh daughter of Xinwangmu and Yudi and the younger sister of Sai Gan Dang and Mai Duang Hang. Her parents were Niu Lang, a human shepherd whose lineage connected to one of the celestial spirits that served in Celestia, the Kingdom of Xadldir and Driuna, and Zhi Nu, the Weaver Goddess.

After becoming an orphan, Ding Li was taken in by her divine relatives and was raised and protected by Xinwangmu and Doumu. She served Xinwangmu as her secretary for several thousand years in the Jade Mountain, though she was recently discharged due to "crimes against the safety of the Taoist Pantheon".

After being banished by her own pantheon for helping secretly Kotoamatsukami, Ding Li was guided by Driuna to meet with Amenominakanushi once again who helped her in her most vulnerable moment and helped her grow. He promised to repay her for her kindness by risking his life for her, which made her want to stay by his side during the war and afterwards.

It is later revealed in Chapter XXX that she is actually the reincarnation of Aurouris Burealis. After reuniting with her Yin counterpart Nian, Ding Li regained some of her memories and powers, becoming the new cosmic dragon empress of the multiverses.

After reclaiming her title, Ding Li joins the new group of Celestial Guardians in the Ancient City of Celestia, broken by the Abyssal Legions. She is also referred to as "**The Cosmos's Dragon Bride**".

## Appearance

Born of the union of sky and earth, as a demigoddess, Ding Li always embodied the true merit of a chinese woman. Her eyes, soft and glimmering, often observe her surroundings with the curiousity of a sweet and kind girl, unspoiled and uncorrupted by the typical heavenly gifts that a position in the Jade Mountain brings.

She has perfect creamy skin with luscious curvy hips and D-cup breasts. Compared to her well-endowed thighs, her slim hands and waist appear somewhat small and tiny according to Amenominakanushi.

She is teased by some of her aunts and Doumu for having a "monster-killing ass", with even Amenominakanushi commenting that her back-side is surprisingly big for someone of her stature. When the Celestial Guardians met with The Endless, Destiny noted that Ding Li's hair was similar to Phoxotl in style.

Her attire consists of a slightly revealing tight brown bodysuit covered by loose white blouse with golden broadery that she wears just below her breasts - a fashion choice that Malkuth and Takanashi Hikari find odd, while Benzaiten compliments her creativity for it.

After awakening her dragon powers for the first time after her first encounter with Nian, Ding Li's body saw minor changes: She took the shape of a Blue and White scaled Dragon with a Wyvern body (Two wings and Two Legs).

Her second form is that of a massive dragon with a long and elegant body with two arms to grapple with her enemies and her wing's have glowing scales, making them resemble a peacock's tail. She gains three additional wings (one on the top and two below the original two) and her limbs and head are covered in an unbreakable white armor with magnificent night-blue jewels.

The final form was seen the most during the war with the Outer Gods and Spriggan. Among the Dragon Gods, Ding Li is currently considered the most beautiful and most magnificent dragon goddess. Tannin and the other Dragon Kings even were willing to offer their sons as consorts for her.

## Trivia

* Ding Li's appearance is based on Ganyu from *Genshin Impact.*
	+ Her other form is based on Izmir from ''Granblue Fantasy''.
* Ding Li feels uncomfortable when someone is touching her tail, as explained in her bio above. However, she gets a lot pleasure out of it when Amenominakanushi is the one touching it. She also gets soothed if Benzaiten is touching it.
* Tannin has said that Ding Li's dragon form is 'every drake's wet dream'. The strongest females of the dragonoids usually have large and muscular bodies in their dragon forms: Great Red, Tiamat, Keshel'Ka, etc. However, Ding Li is thin and slender with very smooth scales.
* According to her aunt Shenli, Ding Li once choked a giant monster to death with ease after getting lodged in its throat when it tried to eat her, said monster having fatally underestimated quite how wide her waistline was. For Ding Li, avoiding any similarly embarrassing episodes in the future is an absolute must.
* After becoming the True Cosmic Dragon God Empress, Ding Li soon became the sole female dragon with the most offers for marriage and sex in dragon history, a position which was previously upheld by Tiamat.
	+ She is also the sixth strongest female Dragon God at the moment, only below Great Red, Ophis, Tiamat, Aurelion Aurora and Keshel'Ka.
* Ding Li is suffering from GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), causing her to constantly feel as if she is pathetic, useless and unneeded wherever she goes. Her aunts' and uncles' bad behavior against her in the past further solidified her personality disorder. Even after fusing with Nian and maturing greatly, Ding Li still afraid she might be useless even with all her power.
* The name **Dingli** may mean several things: balance of forces, betrothal gift, kind efforts. These things accurately portray who Ding Li is as a person.
* Ding Li is quite short, meaning she is a woman of Amenominakanushi's preferred type.
* Her body height is [158cm] and body weight is [48kg].
