List of Fung Wan characters

The following is a list of characters from the manhua series Fung Wan (Feng Yun) by Hong Kong artist Ma Wing-shing.

Nie family

• Nie Feng (聶風; Niè Fēng) or Wind is one of the two protagonists. He was born in a village in Jiuquan. He specialises in kick styles of martial arts and wields the Snow-Drinking Saber (雪飲刀), which he inherited from his ancestors. His formidable prowess in qinggong earns him the nickname "God in the Wind" (風中之神). The Berserk Blood (瘋血), which runs in his veins, will increase his powers drastically when he is angered, but the side effect is that he will enter a state of uncontrollable rage and become a monstrous beast in human form. In contrast with Cloud, Wind is more friendly and empathetic towards others. He appears attractive to women and has many admirers due to his gentlemanly behaviour, kindness and good looks.
• Nie Renwang (聶人王; Niè Rénwáng), nicknamed "Wild Saber of the North" (北飲狂刀), is Wind's father. He is a famous fighter in the jianghu and shares equal fame as Duan Shuai. After marrying Yan Ying, he retired from the jianghu, had a son with her, and became a farmer. When his wife abandoned him, he was affected emotionally and unconsciously triggered the Berserk Blood syndrome in him. He duelled with Duan Shuai outside Lingyun Cave but their fight was interrupted by the appearance of the Fire Qilin. They were dragged into the cave by the monster and presumed dead. In fact, they survived and chanced upon the Dragon Pulse – the spiritual foundation of the Chinese empire – and decided to dedicate their lives to defending the relic. They remained in the cave until Tennō and his men intruded to steal the Dragon Pulse, after which they reappeared in the jianghu to defend the relic. Wind trusted Duan Lang wrongly and asked him to help him take care of his parents, but Duan Lang murdered them.
• Yan Ying (顏盈; Yán Yíng) is Nie Renwang's wife and Wind's mother. She was seduced by Pojun and decided to leave her family to join her new lover. Pojun presented her to Lord Godless later in exchange for learning a powerful skill. She willingly becomes Godless's concubine and bore him a son, Juetian. After Juetian is killed by Wind, she regrets her decision to abandon her family. Wind trusted Duan Lang wrongly and asked him to help him take care of his parents; Duan Lang murdered them.
• Nie Ying (聶英; Niè Yīng) was the ancestor of the Nip family. At a young age, Nie Ying was already very famous in the jianghu for his prowess in martial arts. When the Fire Qilin was ravaging the land, Nie Ying confronted the monster and tried to slay it. He managed to injure the Fire Qilin but accidentally swallowed some of its blood. As a result, he developed the Berserk Blood syndrome, which was then passed on to his descendants. He left his loved ones to prevent himself from harming them when he goes mad, and sought help from his friend Ao Ri, the master of Sword Worshipping Villa. After examining the problem together, they realised that the way to curb Nie Ying's syndrome was to forge an "icy" weapon to keep his "fiery" syndrome under control. Ao Ri started forging the Ultimate Best Sword in the World (絕世好劍) for Nie Ying, but did not live to see its completion because the process lasted numerous decades. Nie Ying ultimately went berserk and became a menace to the jianghu. When he regained his senses, he confined himself in Lingyun Cave and died there before a cure was found for him.
• Di-er Meng (第二夢; Dì-èr Mèng), literally Second Dream, is Second Saber Emperor's daughter and only child. She learnt saber techniques from her father in her childhood and later learnt sword movements from Sword Emperor. Her father's skills are aggressive and masculine in nature, while Sword Emperor's are "soft" and more feminine, so the two types of inner energy she acquired from these two different sets of skills clashed with each other and resulted in the forming of a red mark on her face. She meets Wind, falls in love with him and bears him a son, Yifeng. She dies from poisoning.
• Yifeng (易風; Yìfēng), nicknamed "Little Evil King" (小邪王), is Wind and Second Dream's son. He wields the Great Evil King Blade (大邪王), a weapon of evil aura as told in jianghu legends. As a child, Yifeng is cunning, highly intelligent and opportunistic. He has a much more complicated personality than his morally upright and heroic father. Although he exhibits chivalrous and virtuous traits, he also committed a fair share of evil deeds.

Bu family

• Bu Jingyun (步驚雲; Bù Jīngyún) or Cloud is one of the two protagonists. He was born in a village in Hangzhou. His father died when he was young, so his mother remarried Huo Butian and he became Huo's stepson and was renamed Huo Jingjue (霍驚覺; Huò Jīngjué). He reverted to his birth name after the Huo family was massacred by Lord Conqueror's men, who took him to Under Heaven Society. He specialises in palm styles of martial arts and wields the Ultimate Best Sword in the World (絕世好劍), which he seized from Sword Worshipping Villa. In contrast with Wind, Cloud appears cold and unsympathetic towards everyone except for a select few, whom he cares for and respects, but he does not know how to express his emotions. He appears brutal and ruthless for his practice of killing every single opponent in a group of foes. He is also nicknamed "God of Death Who Does Not Cry" (不哭死神) because he evokes a feeling of death and strikes fear in the hearts of many.
• Bu Yuanting (步淵亭; Bù Yuāntíng) was Cloud's father and a famous swordsmith. He left home in search of cold iron to forge a sword. He died of illness when Cloud was four years old.
• Yunong (玉濃; Yùnóng) was Cloud's mother. When Cloud was born, he did not cry like any normal infant and did not make any sound. His father died when he was four, but Cloud did not feel sad because he had never seen his father before. Thinking that her son was devoid of human emotions, she started resenting him and neglected him throughout his childhood. As such, Cloud grew up to be a loner who does not express his feelings well. A year after her husband died, Yunong remarried Huo Butian. She died when Cloud was eight years old.
• Huo Butian (霍步天; Huò Bùtiān) was Cloud's stepfather. Yunong remarried Huo Butian after her husband's death, so Cloud became Huo's stepson. Huo Butian treated Cloud like a son even after Cloud's mother died. When Cloud was nine, Huo Butian became seriously ill and Cloud remained by his side until he recovered. Huo Butian also taught Cloud his famous skill, the Huo Family Swordplay (霍家劍法), and Cloud felt happy for the first time in his life. However, Huo Butian and his family were massacred by Lord Conqueror's men one year later. Cloud was mistaken for a servant boy so he was spared even though he witnessed everything. He bore a grudge against Conqueror and secretly plotted to avenge his stepfather.
• Yu Chuchu (于楚楚; Yú Chǔchǔ) is Yu Yue's daughter. She fell in love with Cloud and became emotionally connected with him. She was raped by Jianchen and became pregnant with his child, but Cloud still loved her, married her and raised Jianchen's son as his own. They were separated for 12 years after Cloud got injured, lost his memory, and started a family with Violet. Yu Chuchu was murdered by Duan Lang.
• Bu Yun (步雲; Bù Yún) is Yu Chuchu and Jianchen's son, conceived from Jianchen raping Yu Chuchu while under Pojun's influence. He was raised as Cloud's son even though his biological father is Jianchen. He is killed along with his mother by Duan Lang.
• Zining (紫凝; Zǐníng) or Violet is the daughter of a fisherman. She chanced upon Cloud after he was injured in a fight, and saved him. Cloud temporarily lost his memory due to the fall and is grateful to her for saving his life. He marries her, has two children – Bu Tian and Bu Ting – with her and lives with them for some time until he regains his memory.
• Bu Tian (步天; Bù Tiān) is Cloud and Violet's son. He is heavily influenced by his father and started practising martial arts. He is killed by Yifeng, who has lost his senses.
• Bu Ting (步婷; Bù Tíng) is Cloud and Violet's daughter.

Duan family

• Duan Shuai (斷帥; Duàn Shuài), nicknamed "Sword Chief of the South" (南麟劍首) is the wielder of the Fire Qilin Sword (火麟劍) who shares equal fame as Nie Renwang for his prowess in martial arts. He engaged Nie Renwang in a duel outside Lingyun Cave but their fight was interrupted by the Fire Qilin. They were dragged into the cave by the monster and presumed dead. In fact, they survived and chanced upon the Dragon Pulse – the spiritual foundation of the Chinese empire – inside the cave and decided to dedicate their lives to defending the relic. They remained in the cave until Tennō and his men intruded to steal the Dragon Pulse, after which they reappeared in the jianghu to defend the relic. He lost half of his right arm to Nie Feng, who had entered a demonic trance. He is unable to stop his treacherous son from terrorising the jianghu after the latter morphed into the Qilin Demon. He disappeared from the jianghu after his son's death and is eventually killed by his wicked grandson Lanwu.
• Duan Lang (斷浪; Duàn Làng), literally Breaking Wave, is Duan Shuai's son. He first met Wind when their fathers were duelling outside Lingyun Cave and they became friends. They were brought back to Under Heaven Society by Lord Conqueror, but encountered different fates. Wind became Conqueror's apprentice while Duan Lang was treated like a slave. He was forced by Conqueror to engage Cloud in a contest but lost, and was teased by his fellows. He killed one of them in anger and escaped from Under Heaven Society. He found his father's Fire Qilin Sword later and fell under the influence of the weapon's evil aura. Out of jealousy, he betrays Wind and Cloud numerous times and often resorts to Machiavellian means to achieve his goals. By chance, he consumes two fragments of the shattered Dragon Orb and his powers increase dramatically and he morphs into the Qilin Demon. He murders Wind and Cloud's loved ones to force them to fight him, but is eventually defeated and killed by Wind and Cloud.
• Du Yunling (杜蕓苓; Dù Yúnlíng) is Duan Lang's lover and the mother of Shenfeng and Lanwu.
• Shenfeng (神鋒; Shénfēng) is Duan Lang and Du Yunling's son, and Lanwu's twin brother. When the twins were born, Imperial Shadow mistook Shenfeng for Wind's son and brought the boy back to Japan and raised him. At the age of 16, Shenfeng returns to China in search of Wind, whom he thought to be his father. Later, he encounters Lanwu without knowing his true identity. Lanwu sees that Shenfeng resembles him in appearance and makes use of him to achieve his aims. By chance, Shenfeng meets Yifeng, Wind's son, and rises to prominence in the jianghu with Yifeng's help. Unlike his twin brother, Shenfeng values friendship and righteousness and earns the respect of many martial artists.
• Lanwu (藍武; Lánwǔ) is Shenfeng's twin brother who followed in their evil father's footsteps. He founded the martial arts clan known as Indestructible Blue Sect (不滅藍門).

Wen Chouchou discovers Conqueror's plot and informs Frost, who, in turn, notifies Wind and Cloud. He is eventually defeated by Wind and Cloud. Just then, he is betrayed by his followers, the Twelve Killers of the Heavenly Pool, and becomes a fugitive in the jianghu. Nameless saves him on the condition that he must self-destruct his inner energy so that he can never use his powers to harm others. Conqueror agrees. After losing his powers, Conqueror becomes disillusioned with the jianghu so he retires to lead a reclusive life with his daughter, Youruo.

• Wu Tianxia (武天下; Wǔ Tiānxià) is Wu Wudi's nephew and the older cousin of Xiaowu. He has been deaf and mute for most of his life. Upon receiving the Destiny Sword from his dying father, he recovers from these disabilities.
• Xiaowu (小武; Xiǎowǔ)

Others

• Nipusa (泥菩薩; Nípúsà), literally Mud Bodhisattva , is a reclusive Buddhist prophet. He reveals the prophecy to Lord Conqueror that Wind and Cloud would help him rise to power, but also bring about his downfall. After hearing the second half of the prophecy, Conqueror kills him and his granddaughter to silence them. His name comes from a Chinese saying, "a bodhisattva made of mud cannot save itself when crossing a river", to reflect his helplessness.
• Yu Yue (于嶽; Yú Yuè) is Yu Chuchu's father. In his younger days, he encountered the Fire Qilin and fought with the monster. The monster's blood spilled onto his arm and infused its power into his arm. Yu Yue's arm became known as the Qilin Arm, which gave him supernatural strength. When he meets Cloud, who has lost an arm while fighting with Lord Conqueror, he amputates his Qilin Arm and gives it to Cloud. He entrusts his daughter to Cloud's care before leaving to settle an old debt.
• Mu Yingxiong (慕應雄; Mù Yīngxíong) is Nameless's foster brother. He is less well-known than Nameless even though both of them are equally powerful in martial arts.

• Shengwang (聖王; Shèngwáng), literally Saint King, is a powerful fighter well-versed in various arts – music, chess, literature and Confucian ideologies – apart from martial arts.
