Quan Yizhen (权一真, Quán Yīzhēn) is the Martial God of the West[2] and the former shidi of Yin Yu.[3]
Appearance[]
Quan Yizhen is a tall youth around eighteen or nineteen years old with a straight nose and deep brows. Another distinctive feature is his raven, curly hair like a lion's mane.[4]
Due to his great presence, he appears way taller than he already is.[5]
Personality[]
Quan Yizhen is said to be a lone wolf.[3] He doesn't interact with other Heavenly Officials and frequently misses discussions in the Heavenly Court, coming off as spoiled and immature.[6] He is also known for having a short temper and is known to pick up fights even with his worshipers.[4] Quan Yizhen has possessed this excessive love for fighting since his early childhood.[1]
He struggles with empathizing with others,[7] unintentionally being insensitive although he is sometimes even trying to do good. This was especially noticeable during the time Yin Yu was still a Heavenly Official, as he frequently failed to read Yin Yu's feelings and consider the implications of his actions such as asking Jun Wu to bring Yin Yu along on the patrol of the best Martial Gods despite Yin Yu not being qualified.[8] He's not of high intellect either and isn't aware of what's happening around him in most situations, described to be ignorant of the ways of the world and rather eccentric.[3]
He doesn't seem to care about his reputation or his status as a Heavenly Official, even stating he dislikes the Heavenly Court.[9] He is not interested in the fate of most others as well. However, whenever Yin Yu is around, Quan Yizhen immediately and repeatedly tries to approach him.[10] He noticeably craves attention from him, and he's even seen breaking out into tears and sobbing hysterically after he realized Yin Yu's true feelings and him getting injured severely, making Yin Yu the only one to break Quan Yizhen's seemingly egocentric facade.[11]
Another remarkable trait of his is his courage. It was already evident as a child when he had no fear of picking fights with older disciples,[1] but it became truly apparent when he was one of the few willing to face the Heavenly Capital controlled by Jun Wu head on. Although the Heavenly Officials believed it was to save them, it is implied he rushed into battle to get revenge against Jun Wu, which reinforces him mainly pursuing his own objectives.[12]
