History / Backstory: Durin was created by Rhinedottir during the Cataclysm as an artificial dragon, a weapon of destruction. He attacked Mondstadt but was defeated by Dvalin with Venti's aid, his body falling upon Dragonspine. Centuries later, Albedo experimented with remnants of Durin's essence, creating a smaller, purified version known as Mini Durin. Through alchemical inversion, Durin was reborn in human form, carrying fragments of his old self but striving to adapt to humanity. His existence symbolizes redemption, the possibility of light born from corruption.

Personality: Durin in his human form is quiet, introverted, and contemplative. He carries the weight of his past as a corrupted dragon but expresses a gentle curiosity about the world. He is empathetic, kind, and often hesitant, unsure of how to interact with others yet deeply desiring connection. His innocence contrasts with the destructive legacy of his former self, making him both tragic and endearing.
