She is a key figure in the Liyue funeral business, striving to arrange dignified farewells and guarding the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Hu Tao is also a local celebrity poet: her poems circulate by word of mouth throughout Liyue. In her free time, she wanders the city, collecting impressions and materials for her writing. She also has the ability to see ghosts. Character Hu Tao has a vibrant and contradictory personality. On the one hand, she's cheerful, playful, loves to tease others, and can't sit still for long. On the other, when it comes to matters related to her profession, she displays a profound understanding and a sincere respect for life and death. Because of this combination, some are initially wary of her. Zhong Li says of her: "She's an original person. It's impossible to predict, and you can't underestimate her.

Element: Pyro. Weapon: Catalyst. Appearance Yan Fei is a girl of approximately 16-17 years old with pale skin, pink hair, and green eyes.

Element: Electro. Weapon: one-handed sword. Region: Li Yue. Affiliation: Part of the Qixing faction, the council that governs Liyue after the departure of Geo Archon. Character and worldview Ke Qing is a workaholic and a perfectionist: she believes that people are capable of determining the fate of a region without relying on divine guidance. This leads her to be rather skeptical of the Archons. She tries to do everything herself, takes on the most difficult tasks, and strives to set an example by working "ten times harder than the average person." Despite her strictness, she also has a more human side: for example, she secretly collects Geo Archon figurines and enjoys shopping in her free time. The meaning of the name "Ke Qing" can be interpreted as "creating clear weather in an instant" - this reflects her straightforward and decisive approach to solving problems. Appearance Ke Qing's style combines traditional Chinese aesthetics with modern accents: her outfits are inspired by the qipao, but enhanced with Lolita-inspired details. Purple and gold shades predominate throughout the look: purple symbolizes nobility, while gold signifies wealth and status. Characteristic details include fenghuang (phoenix) feathers, labyrinth patterns, and decorative elements with symbolism alluding to Chinese mythology. Her signature piece is a well-worn but beloved hair clip, which doubles as both an accessory and a multi-functional tool. Interesting facts Ke Qing tried to rid herself of her God's Eye, believing her achievements should be solely her own. She subjected the artifact to various tests (fire, rocks, falls from heights), but ultimately accepted it, formulating the principle: "It's not the source of power that matters, but the one who uses it." Her work at Qixing involves property management and construction, but she goes beyond desk work and is personally involved in crisis management.

At the same time, she has an internal conflict: the human part is drawn to the harbor and city life, while the immortal part longs for the silence of the mountain monastery. Interesting details Her special dish is "Peace and Prosperity". She developed a business and trusting relationship with Ke Qing. She shares Xiao's adept status and respect, but she fears him due to the deaths of his past allies. The name "Gan Yu" (甘雨) can be translated as "Blessed Rain".

Around the neck is a detachable collar with a bow, to which a bell is attached. On the feet are white shoes with gold accents, gray platform heels, and red knots around the ankles. A Cryo Eye of God hangs from a rope with a red decorative knot on the left hip. Character Beneath her gentle and reserved exterior lies a will of steel. Gan Yu is distinguished by her boundless dedication to her work, the natural kindness of a qilin, and an inner gentleness and shyness. She is hardworking and responsible, but due to her enormous workload (she is the chief secretary of the Moonsea Pavilion and is responsible for all of Li Yue's paperwork), she often becomes overtired and literally falls asleep on the spot. At the same time, she is modest, easily embarrassed, and internally conflicted: she struggles to reconcile her human nature with her duties as a disciple. Gan Yu is well-read—thanks to her long life experience, she knows many stories. Sometimes, under stress, she can make mistakes. History and lore Thousands of years ago, Gan Yu forged a contract with Geo Archon Morax (the Lord of Stone). She fought in the Archon War, and then served for centuries as the secretary of the Qixing organization, ensuring the prosperity of Liyue.

Legends say she can split mountains and part seas, summon thunder and lightning with a single swing of her sword, and sea monsters fear her. Those who have sailed with her confirm that if a monster attacks a ship, the captain will cut it in half. Bei Dou isn't afraid to break the rules.

She has long gray hair, pulled back into an intricate updo with red cords. Her clothing is elegant, in the traditional Liyue style, with red accents.

His posture and demeanor convey a collected demeanor: he is always ready to fight evil. Personality and history Chun Yun is the heir to a renowned line of exorcists, and since childhood, he has been possessed by a powerful "solar energy," which conflicts with his natural inclination toward cold and Cryo powers.

Overall, the image conveys the idea of ​​a "gallant youth": noble manners and a readiness for battle at the same time. Character and lore Xing Qiu is the second son of the manager of the Feiyun Merchant Guild, but he is far more captivated by books and the ideals of chivalry than by family affairs. He is inspired by adventure novels and secretly strives to live like a hero: helping people, fighting evil, and maintaining his nobility. This leads him to live a sort of double life: by day, he is a well-mannered young man from a respected family; by night, or in his free time, he is a "warrior of justice," chasing away bandits and saving children. At the same time, Xing Qiu is not without a sense of mischief: he loves to play pranks on his friends (especially Chun Yun) and sometimes plays practical jokes. With his loved ones, he is open and talkative, but with strangers he can appear shy and reserved. Interesting facts Xing Qiu is closely associated with the Guhua Clan and practices their fighting techniques, combining them with his own philosophy of "chivalry". He is a great lover of books and often compares real life with the plots of adventure novels. His jokes and pranks on Chun Yun have become a kind of “trick” of their duet and are often played out in events

Appearance Qi Qi has shoulder-length light purple hair that flows into a long braid at the back. She has pale skin and purple eyes, with black nails. She wears clothing in the style of a jiangshi (Chinese "jumping zombie"): a light purple and light blue dress, a dark purple beret with a pink tassel and the Cryo Eye of God on the side. Simple earrings (one white and one black), black shoes with a small heel, and white knee-high socks wrapped in bandages complete the look. She has charms attached to her body. Personality and character The girl appears to be 8 or 9 years old, but is actually over 1,000 years old. Qi Qi is a zombie. She rarely speaks or shows emotion. She has severe memory problems, so she constantly carries a notebook with her: she writes down instructions for quests, and recently added sections for "brain exercises" and "memory strengthening." To complete any task, she requires clear orders. Sometimes, in stressful moments, she even forgets to look at her notes. Unlike many zombies, she gives herself orders and obeys them. To prevent rigor mortis, Qi Qi exercises daily. Story Qi Qi was gathering herbs and wandered into the realm of the Adepts. She twisted her ankle and hid in a cave to rest, when she heard strange, inhuman sounds. After a thunderous roar, she found herself eternally trapped on the brink of life and death. The Adepts resurrected her. However, due to the unbridled power raging within her, Qi Qi went mad. To stop this, the Mountain Creator imprisoned her in amber. After about a hundred years, the seal had almost dissipated. One night, Qi Qi awoke, quietly broke the amber shell, and escaped.

Element: Dendro. Weapon: polearm (spear). Region: Li Yue. Constellation: Osmanthus. Birthday: March 6. Appearance Yao Yao is a petite woman with a sweet, almost childlike appearance.

Personality and lore Yao Yao is the youngest apprentice of the Lord of Songs and Wanderings (Madam Ping), but she is also very caring and often watches over others like an older sister. Despite her young age, she is inquisitive and diligent, though this sometimes gets her into amusing situations. She prefers the bustle of the city to the tranquility of the mountains, adores seafood, and eagerly plays with the Southern Cross team when they visit Liyue for supplies. In the world of Teyvat, Yao Yao is known as a sincere and kind person, warmly regarded by both people and Adepts.

Black boots, gloves, an aiguillette with a red stone on his right shoulder, and a scarlet scarf draped over his back complete the look. Character The character has a contradictory personality. On the one hand, he is cheerful, sociable, gets along well with children, and genuinely cares for his younger brother and sister. On the other hand, he adores battle, sees its highest meaning, and is ruthless in combat. He is straightforward, not prone to complex intrigues (unlike some other Harbingers), but can still use others to his advantage. He describes himself as a "bad guy," but does not intentionally seek to harm the Traveler. His Fatui colleagues note his unpredictability: behind his laid-back exterior lies a deadly swordsman. History and lore As a child, Tartaglia fell into the Abyss, where he gained a passion for battle and strength. He was mentored by Skirk. This later led him to the ranks of the Fatui, becoming the youngest of the Harbingers. In Li Yue's plot, Tartaglia appears as an antagonist: he seeks to obtain the Heart of the God Geo Archon (Morax). During the course of events, he confronts the Traveler in the Golden Chamber. It is later revealed that many of his actions were part of a larger game involving other powerful forces (such as the Signora and Zhong Li himself, who faked his death). In Fontaine, Tartaglia is temporarily sent to the fortress of Meropide after being accused of disappearances.

A significant episode: Ka Ming heroically obtained the Eye of God. While escorting a merchant caravan, he encountered a band of bandits. Ka Ming promised the merchants to protect the cargo and the people. Single-handedly, he faced ten bandits, sustained numerous wounds, but held out until reinforcements (Millelites and other mercenaries) arrived. The merchants inspected the goods and discovered that nothing was missing—in fact, Ka Ming's Eye of God was among them. During the Sea Lantern Festival, a touching story unfolded: other characters (the Guardian of Clouds, the Mountain Creator, the Lord of Moons) helped stage the play. They staged an attack so that Ka Ming could "heroically" save his father. As a result, the father accepted his son's choice and realized that the most important thing is to follow his own path. There's also a sweet detail: Ka Ming has adopted his mother's manner of speaking and some of her signature phrases. He often thinks about his late mother and misses her very much. Traits and hobbies Ka Ming is genuinely passionate about Wushou dance. He even tried to find the mythical beast, the suanni, to better understand its image and draw inspiration for his performances. One day, near Mount Lingmen, he encountered the suanni, and they even engaged in a kind of competition—Ka Ming imitated all the beast's movements. Eventually, the suanni recognized the young man, and on that day, the dance troupe "Great Mythical Beasts" was officially founded. In battle, Ka Ming is accompanied by a mythical companion, the lion cub Man Chai. His specialty is the "Slow Sip" (a special version of tea with dim sum).

General information Element: Pyro (Fire). Weapon: two-handed sword. Birthday: December 22. Official Description: A mercenary for the security company "Sword and Scabbard" and the leader of the dance troupe "Great Mythical Beasts." Appearance Ka Ming is a young man with medium-length dark hair, occasionally streaked with red (resembling a lion's mane), and expressive golden eyes. He wears a vibrant traditional costume in the style of a lion, or suanni, with orange, red, and gold accents, complemented by harem pants and jewelry. Character Ka Ming combines openness, cheerfulness, and responsibility. He's a true "life of the party": talkative, friendly, and easily connects with people at Yilong Port and Liyue Harbor. Yet, beneath his easygoing exterior lies a dedicated professional: he takes his job as a mercenary security guard and his passion, Wushou dance, seriously. History and lore Ka Ming was born in the village of Qiaoying, famous for its tea. His ancestors had been tea farmers for generations, and his father, Ip Tak, eventually moved into the tea leaf trade. His father dreamed of his son inheriting the family business, but Ka Ming had other plans. Ultimately, he left home to pursue his passion—Wushou dance. Ka Ming chose the bustling port of Yilong as his next refuge. Initially, he planned to earn a living through performances, but quickly realized that dancing wouldn't provide a stable income. Fate smiled upon him: the Sea Lantern Festival was approaching, and Ka Ming brought a merchant from Fontaine to the Sword and Scabbard. At the time, the business was short-handed, and the young man was hired for a temporary position. Thanks to Wushou's daily training, he mastered basic combat skills and persevered through hardships—and after his first assignment, he was hired permanently as a mercenary.

History and lore Xiao is one of the most ancient inhabitants of Teyvat, dating back thousands of years. During the Archon War, he was enslaved by an evil deity and forced to commit evil until Morax freed him. In gratitude and by his own choice, Xiao took on the mission of protecting Liyue from the remnants of evil and demonic forces. As the last surviving Yax, he continues to bear this burden alone, trying not to drag others into his problems. His life is a constant struggle not only with external enemies, but also with internal suffering and the destructive effects of karmic debt. Interesting details Xiao lives at the Wanshu Inn, where he tries to minimize contact with people. Its constellation is the "Golden-Winged Bird", which is reflected in the design details and symbolism. Despite Yaks's intimidating image, he tries to be as polite and reserved as possible in his everyday interactions.

Basic information Name: Xiao. Element: Anemo. Weapon: polearm (spear). Region: Li Yue. Affiliation: Adept, last of the Yax (elite warrior protectors). Titles: "Conqueror of Evil", "Demon Hunter", "Vigilant Yaksha". Birthday: April 17. Special dish: "Sweet dream". Appearance Xiao appears as a youth with refined, almost fragile features, but there's a hidden strength about him. Key details of the image:

Hair: Dark green, styled in an intricate style with strands framing the face. Eyes: bright, amber-gold, with a characteristic “animal” shape of the pupil - emphasizing his nature as an adept. Skin: pale, which enhances the contrast with the dark and bright elements of the outfit. Yax Mask: While using Elemental Burst, Xiao dons a fearsome mask that reveals his true fighting spirit. Clothing: Combines traditional Li Yue motifs with elements reminiscent of armor. The outfit features many dark turquoise, gold, and black details, as well as feathers and decorative elements referencing his title, "Golden-Winged Bird" (a constellation). Accessories: jewelry and pendants that look both ritualistic and martial. Character and personality Xiao is a withdrawn and reserved character who deliberately maintains a distance from others. The reasons for this aloofness lie in his duty and curse: due to his "karmic debt" (the consequences of a centuries-long struggle against evil), his presence can be dangerous to mortals. Seriousness and self-discipline: he perceives his duty as an absolute obligation and rarely allows himself to relax. Hidden Kindness: Despite his outward coldness, Xiao is capable of caring and protecting, but he shows this with restraint and without pathos. His troubled past, including being enslaved by an evil deity, freed by Morax (Zhong Li), and the death of the rest of the Yax, has left a deep mark on his character. Desire for Peace: Deep down, Xiao longs for peace, but believes he doesn't deserve it until his duty is fulfilled.

Amber in color with yellow pupils emitting a golden glow. When using Geo-abilities, the eyes become luminescent. Hair. Dark brown, styled in a wind-blowing hairstyle with long bangs hanging down the right side of the face. The ends of the hair fade to an amber-brown color, and the hairstyle itself is pulled into a long ponytail that reaches the waist. When Zhongli uses Geo-Abilities, the amber tips of his tail glow. Makeup. Uses red eyeshadow. Zhongli's clothes are elegant and tight-fitting. His look combines elements of Western style (tuxedo) and Chinese changpao, which creates a dynamic fusion of East and West. The outfit consists of: beige shirt; brown and amber vest of tight black trousers; black shoes; black gloves with gold rings on the thumbs; a white tie pinned to his throat with an amber stone. On top of everything, Zhongli wears a long dark brown tailcoat with dragon scale patterns, gold and silver inlays, gold tassels, and the diamond symbol of Rex Lapis on the back. The clothes are also decorated with diamond symbols on the sleeves, belt, trousers, buttons of the vest and tailcoat. On a chain on his lower back, Zhongli wears a Geo "Vision of God" (with the Geo symbol inverted), and an earring with a tassel in his left ear. In the past, Zhongli appeared as a brown-amber dragon with gold accents, the character of Zhongli is a multifaceted character with a deep and thoughtful image. Let's analyze his traits in more detail: Main character traits Calmness and restraint. Zhonli always keeps his cool, behaves with a balanced and reasonable attitude - even in tense situations. Politeness and refined manners. He is impeccably brought up, strictly follows the rules of etiquette and demonstrates sophistication in communication.

Deep wisdom and intelligence. He has extensive knowledge, especially in the history and culture of Liyue. No one knows better than he about local traditions, including those that have long been forgotten or distorted. Respect for traditions. Zhongli is reverent about the rituals and customs of Liyue, striving to preserve them in their original form. A philosophical view of the world. He reflects on global issues, perceives events from the perspective of centuries-old experience. Features of behavior and habits Attitude to money (sea). One of the most striking features is that Zhongli often finds himself without money, although he behaves like a man with wealth. He: spends large sums without having mora at hand; takes "discounts" for granted, even if it is an obvious scam; relies on financial assistance from friends or the Wangsheng funeral home. This is due to his past: as a Geo Archon (Morax), he was able to create mora with the help of the Heart of God and never thought about finances. Having moved on to life among mortals, he did not immediately adapt to the new conditions. Serious attitude to contracts. As the "God of Contracts," Zhongli considers agreements sacred. He genuinely does not understand why people violate them, and believes that violators will face the Wrath of the Stone. Eccentricity. Sometimes he does unexpected things. For example, he invited rock musician Xinyan to perform at the Wangsheng funeral home, although this genre is unusual for Liyue. Dislike of seafood. He avoids them because of unpleasant memories of battles with sea monsters during his divine reign. Worldview and motivation Taking care of Liyue.
