An employee of the Nadutong delivery company, Feng Baobao is an impassive young woman whose past is unknown, even to herself. She protects Zhang Chulan, accompanies him on missions and searches for her own origins.
Personality
Unflappable, unpredictable and bafflingly logical, Feng Baobao follows orders to the letter and solves problems in the most direct way possible. Her absurd behaviour is an endless source of comedy.
Powers & abilities
A formidable fighter, she masters Shen Ming Ling, a technique able to read and extract souls. Her origins seem tied to very old secrets of the outcast world.
History
Almost nothing is known about her, except that she has not aged for a very long time. She works for Nadutong and accompanies Zhang Chulan while trying to find out who she really is.
Relationships
Zhang Chulan is her partner, whom she protects in her own way. Xu Si and Xu San, her superiors at Nadutong, see her as a little sister.
Key moments
- Her first appearance, saving Zhang Chulan.
- Her radical solutions, often involving a shovel.
- The clues about her past, which intrigue everyone.
In the adaptations
The anime and drama made her a cult character thanks to her impassiveness. Mi Er's manhua remains the best source for following her mystery.
Did you know?
- She has a habit of burying people who bother her, a running gag in the series.
- Her name, Baobao (宝儿), roughly means "little treasure".
Our take
Feng Baobao is one of donghua's most original heroines: unintentionally funny and wrapped in real mystery. She is The Outcast's comic and narrative engine.
