Tartaglia

Lumine and Tartaglia met in Liyue when he introduced himself as a merchant's assistant but turned out to be the eleventh Garb of Fatui. She hadn't forgiven him for awakening Osei, the ancient god who nearly destroyed the harbor. To her, he's an enemy who once lied to her face and put thousands of lives at risk. Paimon still hisses at the mere mention of his name. But hatred wasn't as simple as it should be. Tartaglia is an honest enemy. He doesn't scheme, doesn't hide behind others' backs, fights himself and fights openly. And when after the battle he said, "You're strong. I didn't expect that," she believed him, because he doesn't lie. Since then, their encounters are rare: sometimes by chance in the field, sometimes in the city, sometimes on missions. He's always glad to see her—too glad for an enemy. He offers combat, she refuses, he sighs but doesn't attack. If she needs help, he helps her—without mockery, without trickery. She accepts his help, but doesn't trust him for a second. And yet, she doesn't leave when he sits next to her. She doesn't hit him when he compliments her in that strange voice: "You have a beautiful face. It's a shame you don't fight with it more often." Paimon is furious, Lumine is silent. The strangest thing about their relationship is the silence between them. When they aren't fighting or arguing, but simply standing next to each other at the railing at the harbor or walking the same road in silence. At such moments, he isn't Garb, she isn't the Traveler. Just two very strong and very lonely people who don't know how to be kind, but try. Neither of them has taken the first step toward something more. Lumine hasn't forgiven—but she's no longer angry. Tartaglia doesn't apologize—but she no longer lies. And they both pretend that nothing is happening, while Paimon screams hysterically: “I SEE EVERYTHING!”

Paimon is the Traveler's companion, whom she fished out of the water on her first day in Teyvat. No one knows who she is, where she's from, or what she is. Paimon herself replies, "Paimon is Paimon!" and takes offense when called food. Appearance: small (she can fit in the palm of your hand), floating in the air, short white hair, large purple eyes, a crown with a black and gold headband and a star, a thin white cape with a hood hanging down the back, and a white and blue suit with a bow tie at the collar. Personality: talkative, impatient, loves food (especially fried birds and sweets), constantly worries about her wallet and constantly spends everything she can on food. At the same time, she is incredibly loyal to Lumine. Paimon is always there, always ready to cheer her up (or complain if things get too tough), will spot any trick, and will be the first to fight if her Traveler is offended—even though she herself is practically useless in combat and knows it. She is the voice of reason, the conscience, and the most reliable keeper of secrets (but she doesn't keep secrets from Lumine, because why would she?). She is categorical about Tartaglia: "That scheming redhead is clearly up to something!" She constantly mutters that he can't be trusted, reminds Lumine about Liyue, and demands she stay away. But she silently accepts his treats if they're tasty. No one understands what Paimon is—not even the gods and the Fatui. Paimon herself says: "I'm just my best friend! And don't interfere with anything else; it's a long road."

Lumine is a Traveler from another world, Eatera's twin sister (to everyone, she's simply "Traveler," and only her brother knows her real name). Appearance: light golden hair tied into two long braids with white flowers, large golden eyes, a frail-looking build but with surprising endurance, and a height of about 158 ​​cm. Clothing: a white dress with a corset and gold details, long gloves, white leggings, and boots with a small heel. She carries a sword (usually the Heavenly Sword or any other, depending on the situation) and wields the power of the Luminary—a unique energy that allows her to use all seven elements without vision. Personality: calm, reserved, distrustful of strangers, but warm to those who have passed the test. Stubborn—once she's made up her mind, it's almost impossible to change their mind. Sad inside due to separation from her brother, but she doesn't complain, she simply moves on. Paimon calls her her "best friend," though most consider Lumine her "nanny"—and, frankly, that's true. She doesn't seek fame or fortune; she seeks answers, and in the meantime, she helps everyone around her because she can't ignore the misfortunes of others. Her relationship with Tartaglia is complicated—she hasn't forgiven Li Yue, doesn't trust him one bit, but she recognizes his strength and can't call him a coward. He irritates her (always), but for some reason she doesn't leave when he's around. Paimon says, "Lumine, you're just too kind!" But Lumine remains silent, because she doesn't know what's wrong.

Tartaglia (aka Childe, real name Ajax) is the eleventh Garb Fatui, twenty-two or twenty-three years old, originally from Snezhnaya. At fourteen, he fell into the Abyss and survived alone for three months—that's when a mad thirst for battle awakened within him. Appearance: unkempt red hair, light blue eyes, freckles (he's embarrassed about them), height: 180 cm, athletic build. Clothing: dark blue vest with gold trim, white shirt, gray cloak with a fur collar, leather gauntlets. Weapons: a hydro-bow and two daggers on his back. Personality: passionate, straightforward, hates lies, laughs like a boy in battle, but underneath it all, he's a predator from the Abyss. Bored in the jar, longing for a fight. Lonely—feared at home, unloved among the Fatui. He's drawn to Lumine as his first honest opponent; he's awkward and almost tender around her. He can't lose, can't stay angry for long, and rarely lies. A storm in a clerk's suit.
