Ching-Li Hsiao

Ching-Li Hsiao (小 静麗, Shao Jinrī; Pinyin: Xiǎo Jìng-Lì; Wade-Giles: Hsiao Ching-Li), also known as Genie Hsiao (ジーニーシャオ, Jīnī Shao) in English, is a Taiwanese Rank 1 Ghoul Investigator and one of the second batch of recruits to the Quinx Squad.

Appearance
Hsiao is a dark-haired young woman of average height and athletic build. During operations, she wears a long coat, knee high boots, and long clinging gloves covering the entirety of her arms before reaching her shoulders. Underneath is a tight form-fitting suit with a cutout revealing her lower back.

Personality
Compared to her teammates, Hsiao is much more cool-headed and collected.

Background
Hsiao was born in Taiwan, and came to Japan as a child. She received special education for gifted students at the Sunlit Garden.

Post-Rose Extermination
Hsiao was first introduced fighting Aogiri Tree members alongside her squad. She exterminated two members, however Touma Higemaru found this unimpressive.

Rushima Landing Operation
She along with the rest of her squad were assigned to the operation to exterminate the ghouls of Rushima. Their squad was ordered by Matsuri Washuu to eliminate the remaining ghouls on the beach. Five days later, she and her squad were still on the island searching for Tooru Mutsuki.

With Urie in the lead, the Quinx Squad arrived in the middle of the fight between Floppy and Mutsuki. Urie shouted orders as they attacked in a set strategy used by Arima Squad, he was confident that Hsiao could take the position of Take Hirako in the formation. They charged as Hsiao flung her coat to the side before Urie made his first attack against the ghoul, Hsiao charged from behind and sent a powerful kick that met at Floppy's front as he turned, causing his attention to shift to her on his front side. Following this attack, she told Shinsanpei Aura to go low, and he stabbed Floppy in the back. The formation went awry when Higemaru was too close for Saiko Yonebayashi to finish the ghoul. After Floppy and the Owl ghoul spoke and Owl planned to leave with Akira Mado and Yumitsu Tomoe, she and her squad, minus Higemaru and Shinsanpei who were both injured, continued to fight against Floppy. As Floppy activated his kakuja, Hsiao attempted to engage him in a battle, only to be quickly repelled and defeated.

Touma Higemaru
The two appear to have some sort of rivalry.

Saiko Yonebayashi
Hsiao seems to be highly affectionate towards Saiko. When describing Saiko's good points, Hsiao calls her cute and lovely.

Powers and Abilities
Half-Human Physiology: Having been born as a failed half-ghoul, Hsiao was granted increased physical capabilities as well as a shortened life span.

Quinx Physiology: Due to being a Quinx hybrid, she possesses a koukaku kagune.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Her main ability is bare-handed combat, and she surpasses the rest of the new batch of the Qs in that field.

Kuai 1/4: A rinkaku quinque which takes the form of four sets of individual small blades. It is wielded by Ching-Li Hsiao in a combat rig fashion with each blade attached to her hands and feet, befitting her bare-handed fighting style.

Trivia
