List of Fung Wan characters

The following is a list of characters from Ma Wing-shing's wuxia manhua (Chinese comic) series Fung Wan.

Protagonists

Wind

Wind (simplified Chinese: 聂风; traditional Chinese: 聶風; Mandarin Pinyin: Niè Fēng; Jyutping: Nip6 Fung1) is one of the two protagonists. He specialises in kicking styles of martial arts and his weapon of choice is the saber. His hinggung is also the best of all the pugilists in the kong-woo and he is nicknamed "God Among the Winds" (風中之神).

In contrast with Cloud, Wind adopts a diplomatic approach in handling relations and he is more empathetic towards people around him. Wind also appears attractive towards women and has several admirers. This is attributed towards his gentlemanly behavior, kindness and handsome good looks. However, he may turn into a monstrous raging beast in human form when he is provoked to the limit. This is because of the "Berserk Blood Syndrome" (瘋血) lineage which runs in his family.

Cloud

Cloud (simplified Chinese: 步惊云; traditional Chinese: 步驚雲; Mandarin Pinyin: Bù Jīngyún; Jyutping: Bou6 Ging1 Wan4) is one of the two protagonists. He specialises in palm styles of martial arts and his weapon of choice is the sword.

In contrast with Wind, Cloud appears cold and unsympathetic towards everyone except a select few whom he cares for and respects. He appears brutal and ruthless for his practice of not sparing a single one of a group of foes. He is also nicknamed "The God of Death Who Does Not Cry" (不哭死神) as he evokes a feeling of death and strikes fear in the hearts of many. He does not even shed a single tear when his family and loved ones die.

However, Cloud is actually a passionate person who does not know how to express his emotions well. He cherishes his loved ones dearly and shows great respect for his peers and elders. He hardly speaks and creates a wrong perception of himself as a cruel and cold-hearted person, even in the eyes of fellow pugilists. He is one of the most powerful pugilists in the kong-woo with few being able to match him in martial arts.
