Relationships
Alice the Robot girl sees Leiting as a nuisance – she likes to mess with things she isn’t supposed to touch, and is particularly good at breaking them – including Alice’s robotic body and equipment. One of her pranks caused Alice’s battery to catch fire, damaging her body. As a result, Alice had to use a robotic sweeper as a temporary body for weeks. Since then, whenever she uses the sweeper, she will intentionally ask Leiting to carry her upstairs or onto her desk. Feeling guilty, Leiting will just comply.
On the other hand, Leiting also finds Alice troublesome – Alice is too fragile, her self-promotion habit and stinginess also irritates Leiting, which leads her to tease Alice with more pranks.
Leiting and Qiuye live in the same neighborhood and have been classmates since first grade. Qiuye was often bullied, but Leiting always came to her aid. Qiuye admires Leiting’s passion and confidence and wishes to be like her, though she finds Leiting’s unpredictability and recklessness quite frustrating. In turn, Leiting respects Qiuye’s knowledge and appreciates her tutoring.
Leiting and Mingzhu met long ago and have been classmates since first grade. Their silly behaviors and constant struggles with classroom learning earned them the nickname “Silly Sisters.” Mingzhu enjoys following Leiting around to have fun, echoing Leiting’s words and cheering her on, which leads to her being called Leiting’s “minion,” though she is really the “Big Boss” in terms of raw power.
Leiting’s older sister Chunyu appears indifferent, but she genuinely cares for her sister. However, it seems that she has a hold on Leiting’s weakness, and is always able to get Leiting to run errands for her. Meanwhile, Leiting retaliates with pranks on Chunyu.
Leiting’s dad takes a hands-off approach, and the two form a “united front” in the house. In contrast, her mom adopts a zero tolerance policy for Leiting’s antics and forms another united front with Chunyu.
Libbie is Leiting’s head teacher. She considers Leiting to be her most mischievous and challenging student. She goes to great lengths in guiding this unruly little girl.
Role in Aizu Worship
Alice occasionally sees Leiting as a blue dragon, but as soon as she closes her eyes for a few seconds or opens or closes the door, Leiting will return to her normal human form. She believes this is a glitch in her visual system. As a result, Leiting is typically depicted as a blue dragon in Aizu worship among the Evernight Era robots.
