A nanny of the Sima clan's children, also an eunuch whose 'lack of manhood' legitimates his affiliation with the Crippled Legion. Xiao Meng's beauty is said to be unequaled, although he's very sensitive about it and reacts violently to whoever touches upon the subject of his gender. As the Crippled warrior responsible for logistics, be it defending the flank in battles or acting as a spy, Xiao Meng's masterful archery and seductive beauty never fail his comrades. It was during a mission to spy on Dong Zhuo that he adopted the name 'Diao Chan', thus linking his existence to one of the most famous women (although fictitious) of  Chinese history. Like Liaoyuan Huo, Xiao Meng treasures his comrades dearly, and, despite being an eunuch, harbors love for Liaoyuan Huo (who implicitly reciprocates it).    ~!He went MIA during a mission, and ended up in Lu Bu's camp. Manipulated by Lu Bu to assassinate Cao Cao in accordance with Pang Tong's scheme, Xiao Meng, together with Liaoyuan Huo, unwittingly brought about the Sima clan's demise at the hands of Cao Cao. Desperate for vengeance, he aided Lu Bu in resistance to Cao Cao's Xuzhou campaign, and when Lu Bu failed, proceeded to again make an attempt on Cao Cao's life. Due to Sima Yi's betrayal, he failed and was subjected to a brutal execution, but a glimpse of foresight at Sima Yi's long-term sheme just before dying allows him to rest in peace. However, his death greatly aggravated Liaoyuan Huo, and despite his wish, enlarged the rift between him and Sima Yi.!~
