Like the other members of Riser's peerage, Xuelan is loyal to Riser and carries out the orders given by him without question.
History[]
Not much is known about Xuelan, other than at some point before the series, she was reincarnated as a Devil by Riser as his Rook.
Plot[]
The Red Dragon Emperor's Awakening[]
Xuelan first appeared in Volume 2 at the Occult Research Club, when Riser introduced his peerage to Rias after the two of them decided to have a Rating Game. During the Rating Game, Xuelan fought against Koneko in the replicated gymnasium. Although she quickly gained the upper hand in terms of fighting style, she lost to the latter after being hit with a series of direct hits and was finally taken out of the fight when Akeno destroyed the building with her inside it.
The Legend of Oppai Dragon and his Lively Companions[]
In the Extra Life of DX.1, Xuelan participated in her master's rematch against Rias. Like before, she faced off against Koneko, but ultimately lost and retired from the battle again.
In Volume 19, Xuelan participated in the Rating Game between her master and Diehauser Belial.
