Xiao is known for his hardened personality, but those around him know that he has a kind heart. Xiao is highly protective over the Traveler, to the point that they only need to speak his name to have him appear in front of them. He also has a soft spot for Ganyu and takes time out of his day to train her. This is despite the fact that it seems like Xiao doesn't have any strong feelings towards her. He is even more than happy to help Xiangling with her cooking when asked.
