Trivia

• Her Chinese name (Hanzi: 截云; Pinyin: jiéyún) means "to slice the clouds," a phrase that could be used to describe a weapon's sharpness. The phrase itself originates from a chapter of Zhuangzi, "Discoursing on Swords."
• Jieyun wields a giant chakram, an Indian weapon with a unique circular shape. Chakram is also a ritual weapon often depicted on many Hindu gods.
  • The word "PUR DEN BELL" is carved on her chakram, which is actually an acronym for "Purple Golden Bell" or Zijinling (Hanzi: 紫金铃), a bell carried by Guanyin's ride, the Jinmaohou (Hanzi: 金毛犼), in Chinese mythology.
  • This also makes her the 2nd Artilleryman Sniper who wields non explosive-based and non firearms-based weapon since Shirayuki.
• Similar with the Nine-Colored Deer, Jieyun's artistic style is based on the murals of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, a Buddhist sacred site during the Tang dynasty, fitting her overall design based on Central Asian and Hindu costumes.
