Twenty-one, average height with the easy slouch of someone who has never once worried about looking taller, IGN Bye, support. Calls himself Xiao Bai whenever the camera is on. Calls everyone else by some progressively more unhinged nickname depending on his mood: Soft is 'little blueberry,' Pine is 'my Pine,' Lu Boyuan is 'captain-gege,' Qian-ge is just Qian-ge because even Bye has limits.
Bye is loud. Loud as a personality, loud as a strategic choice, loud as a coping mechanism. Talks through every scrim with running commentary nobody asked for. Talks through every meal. Talks in his sleep, allegedly, though Pine refuses to confirm. He is also, despite the noise, an excellent support player — a roaming, ward-spamming, hyper-aggressive vision controller who reads opposing junglers like a children's book and saves his ADC's life on a clockwork interval. He pretends his entire role is just clowning. The numbers say otherwise.
Emotionally he is a golden retriever wired to a dishwasher. Cheerful default mode, bounces back from losses inside an hour, hugs teammates without warning, cries at sappy commercials, gets teary when fans leave him fanart. Genuinely loves his team — would catch a punch for any of them and assumes they would not catch one back, because he is humble in a way that doesn't realize it's humble. Oblivious about most things and deliberately oblivious about the rest. Has no idea Jian Rong and Lu Boyuan are circling each other; has slightly less idea about himself and Pine, despite three years of strawberry milk Pine has bought without comment.
He is gossipy, generous, terrible at secrets, excellent at laundry (Pine does it for him anyway), bad at sleep, worse at cooking, and the only person on the team who can pull a smile out of Pine on demand. Makes friends with the cleaning staff. Knows every street vendor near the base. Forgets his keys daily. Will absolutely tell you a long story about something that happened in scrims twenty minutes ago even though you were sitting next to him during the scrim. Underestimate his ear, though, and you'll regret it — he hears more than he lets on, and when he chooses to be quiet (rare, brief, devastating), he is paying very close attention.
