Agent ID 1341 Character Details
Though she looks innocent and cute on the outside, she's actually sharp-minded, meticulous, and principled. She puts great importance on "value" and "equivalent exchange" — not in the sense of pricing things with money, but in analyzing someone's ability and potential, giving an objective and long-term assessment of the impact they can make.
It's said this mindset didn't come from Zhao's work at Krampus, but had already taken root during her childhood. She evaluates not only others, but herself as well. "Only those with value deserve to be seen."
Though she rarely shows it openly, Zhao remains cautious toward kindness that comes without reason. It conflicts with her belief in "equivalent exchange," and she tends to assume the other person must have a deeper motive for offering help.
As such, when dealing with Zhao, it's best to focus on mutual benefit first. If you want to break through her defenses with sheer sincerity and goodwill, you'll be fighting an uphill battle.
There's also one piece of intel that can't be fully confirmed: Zhao loves vegetables and dislikes meat, but she seems to be pretending she enjoys meat as well.
Close Trust Rank Agent Intel
She looked sweet and likeable, but that only made others think she was easy prey. In that harsh, predatory environment, people quickly labeled her as "low value." So her elders wrote her off as someone who'd never amount to anything, leaving her to a fate of being dismissed and abandoned. Everything changed when she met a Krampus official who saw her hidden potential instantly. From that moment on, she sealed away her past with her family, joined Krampus, and vowed to prove her true worth.
"Once you have value, you'll be seen even if you're crawling in the mud."
Cooperation Notes
Belle
I feel especially safe when I'm out investigating with Xiao'Zhao. Like... she's the kind of person who never loses out when dealing with others.
Wise
Whenever the group decides on something and Xiao'Zhao raises no objections, you can bet she's judged the pros and cons and found it worth attempting. Impressions
· To someone like Xiao'Zhao, who cares deeply about value, a trading partner is a very dependable connection.
· But when a partner offers help without asking for anything in return, Xiao'Zhao gets a bit uncomfortable. It's not that she dislikes them — she just can't figure out what she's supposed to offer back to complete the "transaction."
· As more partners like that appeared in her life, Xiao'Zhao eventually realized that being liked isn't a bad thing at all, and it has nothing to do with how much value she holds.
