Fatui

According to the in-game description, mora is a concentrated source of physical power that transforms flesh and blood. This is why it is used to enhance weapons, artifacts, and enhance character talents. It literally serves as a nexus for physical and energetic transformations. Mora was minted exclusively in the Golden Chamber in Liyue, using the power of the God's Heart (Gnosis) of Morax. Teyvat is entirely dependent on this supply. Each coin bears the triquetra (Celtic knot). This ancient symbol in Teyvat is associated with hidden truths, dating back to before Celestia's reign, and can be found in the ruins of Kaenri'ah, the Arteries of the Earth, and elemental chests.

Appearance and Clothing Among the Fatui: Distinguishing Features: A frail, pale young woman with long black hair adorned with dark pink or purple streaks. Her hair is braided into two braids, held together by X-shaped white ribbons. Mask and Eyes: Her face is often covered by a small mask, and her eyes are tightly closed most of the time. This ties into her worldview: she sees no point in looking at a world full of lies until she finds something worthwhile. Clothing: Her attire while serving with the Fatui is a weightless, airy dress, crafted in a "moonlight" aesthetic with cool tones. It looks very graceful, emphasizing her otherworldly, almost angelic grace and status as a lunar deity. Personality: Carefree and mysterious: She is distinguished by a contradictory nature, a carefree and casual demeanor. Calmness: In official teasers, she appears calm and even frivolous—for example, she hummed a song while lying on the coffin of the deceased Signora, leading her to be seen as somewhat detached and oblivious to the chaos around her. Hidden Power: Behind her gentle and carefree image lies the power of the moon goddess, which is why even such strong and warlike Harbingers as Tartaglia were afraid to engage her in battle. Her codename is Soubrette.

Personality: A pragmatic, cold, and far-sighted leader, fanatically devoted to the Queen. He believes that fate does not favor people, and only those who fight with all their might are worthy of facing it.

He has gray hair, a neat gray beard, and piercing light blue eyes with diamond-shaped pupils, indicating his ties to the Kaenri'ah civilization. Clothing: He wears austere, monumental robes. His image includes a dark cloak with intricate gold ornamentation, a high collar, and a long hood that conceals the upper part of his face. This attire emphasizes his status as a magician and ancient sage, standing above the usual diplomatic rules of Teyvat.

• Sandrone (No. 7) and Scaramuccia: Marionella deeply despised Scaramuccia. Scaramuccia himself later mentioned that Sandrone had a disgusting personality and her robot research was worthless.

4. The role of "authorities"

• Capitano (No. 1): The only one who was deeply respected by absolutely all the Harbingers (even the impulsive Childe and the cynical Scaramuccia). His honesty, incredible military strength and justice were recognized by all by default.
• Pulcinella (#5): Played the role of "caring grandfather" and mayor of Snezhnaya. It was he who saw potential in young Childe and promoted him. However, Childe admits that Pulcinella "looking after his family" has a double meaning: he is both a benefactor and a lever of pressure, keeping Tartaglia on a leash.

1. Attitude towards "newcomers" and outsiders

Before the active gathering of Hearts, the ranks of the Harbingers were filled with unconventional individuals, which irritated the old-timers:
• Scaramuccia (No. 6): His nasty temper and divine nature put him at odds with almost everyone. The Harbingers found him intolerable, and he despised his colleagues. It is known that Signora and Dottore treated him purely as a consumer (Dottore examined his body, and Signora saw him as an instrument).
• Tartaglia (#11): Childe became the youngest Harbinger. The others looked down on him, as a "war dog" who was dangerous to unleash on society. He was deliberately sent on missions away from Snezhnaya, as his straightforwardness and thirst for battle interfered with the secret political machinations of Pulcinella or Pantalone.

2. Internal unions of convenience

Some Harbingers worked closely together, but only for profit:
• Dottore (No. 2) and Pantalone (No. 9): This was the most durable economic-scientific tandem. Pantalone (the banker) unlimitedly sponsored Dottore's crazy experiments, and Dottore, in return, supplied him with technology and helped carry out economic sabotage to undermine the economies of other regions (for example, Mondstadt).
• Pierrot (No. 0) and Signora (No. 8): It was the Jester who found Rosalina as she was dying from her own flames and gave her the Cryo Eye of Corruption. Signora was unconditionally devoted to his plans, and Pierrot valued her efficiency and composure, entrusting her with the most delicate diplomatic missions.

3. Hidden hostility and contempt

• Harlequin (#4) vs. the "House of the Hearth": Before the current Harlequin (Peruer) took over, the previous "Servant" was Krukabena. She raised orphans as cannon fodder. Other Harbingers (such as Pulcinella and Pantalone) treated the orphanage as a factory for free labor and spies. After Krukabena's assassination, Peruer took over, but retained her disdain for the old guard's methods.
