The following is a list of characters from the novel ''Sword Stained with Royal Blood'' by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). Some of these characters also appear in ''The Deer and the Cauldron'', another of Jin Yong's works. ==Main characters== * Yuan Chengzhi () is the protagonist of the novel. Originally tutored in martial arts by Mu Renqing, he later inherits the skills of Xia Xueyi by chance. One of the most powerful martial artists of his age and a fine young hero, he strives to uphold justice and defend his native land from foreign invasion. At the end of the novel, he leaves China for good and sails to a distant land with his companions. * Xia Xueyi (), nicknamed "Golden Serpent Gentleman" (金蛇郎君), is a powerful swordsman with extraordinary skills. His charming good looks and chivalrous personality make him highly attractive to women. He becomes involved in two separate romantic relationships with He Hongyao and Wen Yi. He is only mentioned by name in the novel because he is already dead before the events of the novel take place. * Xia Qingqing (), also known as Wen Qingqing (), is the daughter of Xia Xueyi and Wen Yi. She is first introduced as a member of the Wen family, a clan of brigands. After having a conflict with the Wen elders, she leaves the Wen family and follows Yuan Chengzhi in pursuit of a new life. * A'jiu () is actually Princess Changping (), the second and favourite daughter of the Chongzhen Emperor. She is introduced as a beautiful and elegant young lady who frequently associates herself with martial artists in the ''jianghu''. She meets Yuan Chengzhi and they develop a romantic relationship, much to Xia Qingqing's jealousy and hostility. When Li Zicheng's rebels overrun the Forbidden City, her despaired father attacks her with a sword and cuts off her left arm in a desperate attempt to spare her from any humiliation if she were to be captured by the rebels. Fortunately, Yuan Chengzhi appears in time and saves her and she survives. At the end of the novel, she feels disillusioned with the world and decides to detach herself from worldly attachments, so she becomes a Buddhist nun and renames herself Jiunan (). * He Tieshou () is the leader of the Five Poisons Cult. She has a hook for her right hand, as implied by her name ''Tieshou'' (lit. "iron hand"). She is recruited by Prince Hui to assist him in seizing the throne from the Chongzhen Emperor. During this time, she meets Yuan Chengzhi and his friends, and plays evil pranks on them to hinder their missions. She has a crush on Xia Qingqing, who is disguised as a young male scholar, and decides to betray her cult and break ties with Prince Hui. Yuan Chengzhi succeeds in reforming her, accepts her as an apprentice, and renames her He Tishou (). (''Tishou'' means "vigilance and safeguard".) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Sword Stained with Royal Blood characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
