Personality
Zhu Ruosheng takes her duties as an advisor very seriously, feeling immense guilt over the fall of Cloud City[2]. She is also extremely loyal to her best friend Yue Qianshuang. She has been shown to be very studious and intelligent, reading through the entire Cloud History as a child and beating the national go player when she was only twelve[3]. She loves bean jelly and gourds[4].
History
Early Life
Zhu Ruosheng has proven herself as being very studious from an early age. At only twelve, she defeated the national go player, Bai Yiyue, and at sixteen she passed the highest imperial exams after reading the history of Cloud. She subsequently joined Yue army[3].
Adult Life
With the army, Zhu Ruosheng helped Yue Qianshuang and the Yue army retake Western Cloud from bandits. The Imperial Court of Cloud later assigned Zhu Ruosheng to become the advisor of Lor River City[2]
Year 680
Zhu Ruosheng met Nikki and her friends shortly after the time of Lunar's death and the fall of Cloud City. Being the military advisor of Lor River City, she was there with Zhong Lizi while Nikki was passing through. They discussed the situation together, with Zhu Ruosheng explaining that the situation had developed yet Huo Qizhou refused to budge on his own plans[2].
Art of War
Outside Brocade City, Zhu Ruosheng and Yue Qianshuang fought together against an elite force prepared by Zhu Yuxian. When it seemed they were losing badly, Yue Qianshuang barely conscious from loss of blood, Zhu Ruosheng tried to convince Yue Qianshuang to pull back, saying that they didn't need to fight anymore and that they had made it far enough. Yue Qianshuang decided to make a final charge, but was captured by chains and subsequently saved by Ming Shuiyuan[5].
Relationships
Yue Qianshuang
Yue Qianshuang and Zhu Ruosheng are best friends and they fight in the war together as partners. Zhu Ruosheng joined Yue Army after passing the highest imperial exams[3]. They also spend time together outside of a military context, taking the time to celebrate the New Year together one year in Cloud Capital[4].
Trivia
- It is possible that Zhu Ruosheng was initially intended to be a male character. This is supported by the fact that in both Chinese and English, she is alternately referred to by both male and female pronouns in both the story and item descriptions.
- Zhu Ruosheng is also given the nickname "Musika", likely because of the fact that her name in Chinese refers to a musical instrument.[6]
