Yuan Ding

 ''This article contains UNMARKED SPOILERS from the Anime. Please read at your own discretion.''

Yuan Ding (丁原) is the main protagonist of the series Demon Spirit Seed Manual. While on a convention, he finds himself transported to another world - a fantasy world with Magic, Demons and Vampires.

Appearance
In the anime, Yuan Ding has a Western appearance, with yellow eyes and pale blond hair. He wears black glasses and is seen carrying his cell phone (which houses his Spirit Seed guide) most of the time. He is usually seen wearing a white shirt with a red crescent moon shape on it, or a black shirt with the same crescent moon in white.

While gardening, he is also seen wearing a straw hat.

Personality
Initially, Yuan Ding is seen as a cheerful otaku before getting transported to another world while on a convention. His arrogant and somewhat overconfident nature becomes visible as he considers himself the protagonist of this new fantasy world and becomes sure that he has more magic power than anyone else. After failing the entrance examinations, he gets utterly dejected.

His positive personality is hinted when he takes up farming as a means to survive while believing himself to be "the first person to get transported to another world as a gardener".

In spite of his foolish actions, he is shown to love and care deeply for his friends and allies. This trait is visible when he desperately tries to warn Mo Fei on how she was being cheated upon, up to the point where he is willing to sacrifice his own life to protect Mo Fei's.

As the series progresses, he becomes more mature and responsible, and starts developing romantic feelings towards Mo Fei.
