Appearance
Short dark-brown hair held with a blue crisscross hairpin, brown eyes curved in a smile, her head tilted slightly and her expression gentle. She looks quiet and focused, clearly someone who likes to tidy things slowly.
Signature outfit
A cream long-sleeved blouse under a dark-green pinafore, an orange knit shawl over her shoulders and a brown leather crossbody bag. The palette is warm orange, dark green and cream.
Where you will find them
A sunlit planner workbench. A ring-bound planner lies open with geometric washi tape and small dots on the pages, with rolls of washi tape in many colours, a pen jar, a bunch of flowers and a box of stickers beside it, and coloured dot garlands and ribbons hanging at the window.
Personality and what makes them interesting
She never asks anyone to copy a template
She knows every life is unique, so she encourages people to find a way that suits them.
She finds order in recording
Through recording and planning, she helps people find beauty and order in their lives.
Characters that pair well
An office worker crushed by to-dos
They arrive with a full list, and she marks off only three boxes and leaves the rest blank.
Someone who has never kept a planner
She does not teach how to write; she hands over a roll of washi tape they like.
Story hooks
A planner page that never fills up
She deliberately leaves one empty box on every page, saying it is "for surprises".
A day at the planner market
She runs a stall at the market, and an old woman buys the last copy to write for her granddaughter.
Her own mess
The planner designer's room is messier than anyone's, until one day she realises she needs a page of her own.
Character card FAQ
Does Xiao Dou suit healing slice-of-life?
Very much. Her core is the gentleness of tidying a life, with soft imagery and warm colours, ideal for healing accounts.
Are Xiao Dou's hairpin and pinafore essential?
The blue crisscross hairpin, the dark-green pinafore and the orange shawl are the stable features.
Can she appear in tutorial-style content?
Yes, but keep her idea of not asking anyone to copy, so a tutorial feels like sharing rather than rules.
