Introduction
Qingxiao in Wuthering Waves is a 5 Stars Aero character who wields a Sword as their weapon type.
A reclusive sword cultivator who holds the nominal title of Xuan Paragon of Xuanfang Hold, and a peerless master of both qin and sword. Aloof and distant, she seems untouched by emotion. The world knows her as the Sword Transcendent. For years beyond counting, she has stood guard over these lands, and the cold light of her blade remains as keen as the day she first drew it.

Qingxiao Background
"From the Ministry of Sentinel Affairs, submitted for the review of the Mengzhou Magistrate: On the Establishment of an Additional Xuan Paragon Post in the Land of Xuanfang"
...
At the Ministry of War's request, Huaxu Academy has verified that her history of Resonance exceeds one hundred years, and that its origins are all but untraceable. The pair of horns upon her head, shaped like drifting cloud, is a physical trait manifested by that Resonance, and may be related to the all-knowing Auspicious Beast recorded in the Grand Library.
Qingxiao's mastery lies in the "Heart Sword." By forging her very thoughts into Sword Intent, she can instantly manifest ten thousand flying blades that answer to her will, purging all evil wherever they fall. Though her swordcraft was learned blade in hand, it has long since carried her beyond the confines of wrought steel. A plucked string, a drifting petal, a falling leaf—to her, any of these may become a sword.
The Quietude Art, along with the other techniques she has demonstrated, is believed to be part of the esoteric craft Cultivators use to modulate frequency via their Forte, though much about them remains unverified.
...
Magistrate's Reply:
I have long heard that her swordcraft is divine and her power formidable. This should be a blessing for the Land of Xuanfang. And as the document comes submitted through the Ministry of Sentinel Affairs, I presume it carries Her instruction.
Intendant's Reply:
It does. There is no need for concern, Magistrate.
"A recent Overclocking assessment report, issued by Huaxu Academy of the Land of Xuanfang"
Subject is a Natural Resonator. Rabelle's Curve holds constant in the Time Domain, presenting a steady curve with no anomalous patterns observed.
Resonant Criticality: Extremely high. Peak values converge asymptotically toward the threshold. Stability is assessed as high. Cross-referenced against Academy records, the subject's Resonant Criticality and mean curve value show a synchronized upward trend over time. No prior history of Overclocking on file. No psychological counseling required.
Physician's Note:
The curve hugs the threshold, the peaks climb toward the ceiling, and yet they never cross it. Remarkable. An ordinary Resonator would tip into Overclocking at the slightest swell of feeling. They say Cultivators temper the mind to steady their Forte... could Qingxiao the Perfected be doing this on purpose?
