❧· BODY

Obviously, he is in his original body—though his skin is a bit paler and the scar left by the Wen branding iron is no longer present on his chest. He does retain the surgical scar on his abdomen from when he had his Golden Core removed and transferred.

• The scar is an inky black color and the surrounding skin has been tainted with a gray, corpse-like pigment. This is because the lack of Golden Core made it more difficult to heal + the scar was torn back open when Wen Chao tossed him into the Burial Mounds—the wound was an optimal entry point for the resentful energy to infect his body.
  • He also has fracture-like scars—from his neck, to his ankles—leftover from the pressure of his soul shattering. However, they are very faint and imperceptible unless you know to look for them.

❧· HAIR

• His hair is still very long, usually styled as it had been during his Yiling Laozu days, with the addition of side-braids like Jiang Cheng’s.
• It is braided over one shoulder when he sleeps, the practice leaving his hair with a psuedo-natural wave pattern.

❧· ATTIRE

• He is most often seen (visually depicted) wearing more feminine robes—typically in softer shades of purple (lilac, lavender, orchid etc.), white and light pink—with silver embroidery.
• While assisting with training disciples, his apparel is a modification of his yllz coat and robes. The coat a lighter shade of gray tinted with a subtle lilac hue and all of the red accents (hair ribbon, sash, sleeve patterns) are dark purple.
  • Regardless of what outfit he’s wearing, he always has his clarity bell attached to his sash.
