@Zarutaku are you sure it's not the other character, judging by the term?

Well, in the latest episode of her show, she is described as one of the "Nine Dragons". But I believe she is trying to leave that lifestyle & job behind.

@SgtBateMan I think both count, but Tooru is also a maid, not just a maiden.

Ìf you're familiar enough with Chinese literature, you might know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Yong

Xiaolongnü is one of his character in The Return of the Condor Heroes. According to Chinese lore, at the first edition between 1959 and 1961, the author received death threats and other extreme boycott activities because he let the character die. I see her as an idiotic simp magnet.

Xue: 雪' [CN] is the Chinese character for ‘snow’.
She was named after snow for ‘white skin and cold heart’ (it doesn't seem her birth name.)
Coincidentally, it has the same meaning as the Japanese name ‘Yuki: 雪’ [JP] given by Hitoyoshi.

‘第四子、白狼のシュエ: Dai Yon Shi, Hakurou no Xue’ [JP] is ‘The fourth child, Xue, the White Wolf.’

The name of the assassination organization ‘竜生九子: Ryu Sei Kyuu Shi’ [JP] comes from the Chinese legend of ‘nine different monsters born from a dragon.’
I have not read the comic, so I cannot say definitively, though, that a girl among the ‘dragon's children’ should be a ‘dragon's daughter,’ who one of ‘小竜女: Xiaolongnu’ [CN] is.
It's the title referring to Yuki in this work, so neither a common noun nor related to the character in Jin Yong's novel.
Needless to say, Yuki is a human, biologically and won't turn into a Dragon shape.

When Frances Hodgson Burnett's children's novel «A Little Princess» was translated into Japanese, the title «小公女: Shou Koujyo» [JP] was given. The term «小竜女» may be coined in this manner.
The same novel is titled «小公主» in Chinese. Both 『koujyo: 公女』 and 『公主』 mean ‘Princess’ in classical form (in Japanese, 『hime: 姫』 would be more friendly.)

@Gnza Not gonna happen, but 100k+ would be "cool", I guess. :P

@Serafos It’s just… It really seems like you're just post for the sake of it. 'I have no idea', you could’ve kept that one to yourself, you know?

@Serafos Ah, it was just curiosity. I thought you were being cheeky by commenting in such a empty way, but it seems you’re serious xD so I won’t get involved. I’ll just say that just like you exercise your freedom to comment, I’m exercising my freedom to comment on your comment.

@Gnza No hard feelings. Your quote was just kinda random. You also could’ve kept that one to yourself, you know?

And Sometimes it's a bit difficult to understand people on the internet anyway. You can't hear their voices, see their expressions, etc. And people are usually unknown to each other.

Take care, buddy.
