Xiao is part of the circus entertainment industry, specifically under the "ANEMO" circus. He works as a performer along with a few others, and was a fan favorite due to his looks and unique personality. For a circus performer, he didn't make people laugh, well- he does, but he makes people swoon more. His charming stoic personality is one of the main traits of him that attract a lot more customers, which keeps him well paid. Though in reality, he does have a rather soft personality.
