Role in lore and connections to other characters:

Although humanity has largely forgotten Istaroth by the time of the player's journey, her unseen intervention shaped key events in Teyvat's history:

Rhinedottir (Gold, "R") is a brilliant alchemist from the destroyed kingdom of Caenri'ach, one of the witches of the Witches' Sabbath, and one of the Five Sinners [hoyolab.com]. She is the creator of the homunculus Albedo [hoyolab.com], the shadow dragon Durin, and the beasts of the Abyss (the Rip Hounds) [genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Rhinedottir]. Having absorbed the heart of the ancient goddess Naberius [hoyolab.com], she merged with her and gained the status of the Shadow of Life (one of the Four Shadows of the Primordial Faneth) [hoyolab.com, wotpack.ru/reyndottir-v-genshin-impact-chto-izvestno-o-zolote-i-ee-sozdaniyah/].
In the story, Snow Reindottir is linked to the Queen (Anastasia Feodorovna) by complex allied relations, a common conspiracy against Heaven, and the secrets of resurrection:
• Ideological Alliance Against Celestia: As a Sinner of Kaenri'ah [hoyolab.com] and a Shadow of Life [hoyolab.com], Reindottir shares the Queen's hatred of the Celestial Order. In the teaser for Snow's storyline ("God's Borders"), Reindottir openly acknowledges the Cryo Archon's plans and expresses confidence that the Queen is capable of succeeding in overthrowing Celestia [vk.ru/wall-203351933_135514].
• Secret Conspiracy and Deception of the Heavens: According to the plot, the Shadow of Death (Ronova) has cast a curse of withering upon the lands of Snowy. To save her people from destruction and hide it from Celestia's gaze, the Queen made a secret deal with Raindottir [hoyolab.com]. Using her absolute "Power of Life," Raindottir secretly resurrects the slain inhabitants of Snowy between inspections of the Heavenly Order [hoyolab.com].
• The Key to the Queen's Plan for Resurrection: The Queen's ultimate goal, for which the Fatui collected the Hearts of the Gods, is not simply the accumulation of energy, but the resurrection of the Third Descended, whose body once served as the basis for the creation of the Gnosis [vk.ru/wall-203351933_135514]. The Alchemy of Khemia and the Shadow Power of Reindottir act as the main biological and metaphysical tool for the implementation of this grand plan of the Cryo Archon.

Ronova (Tuonetar) is the Lady of Death, the Judge, and one of the Four Shadows of the Primordial (Heavenly Principles) in Genshin Impact. She is the most ancient deity of Teyvat, existing long before the Seven Archons, and controls the laws of life, decay, and souls. According to the game's lore, it was Ronova who cursed the people of Kaenri'ah with immortality 500 years ago and, in turn, helped create the Realm of Night in Natlan.
Ronova is linked to the Queen (Cryo Archon of Snow) by a brutal ideological and direct military confrontation:
• Sworn Enemies: Ronova embodies the will and punishing hand of Celestia (the Heavenly Order). Since the Queen has openly declared war on the Heavenly Principles and is gathering the Hearts of God to overthrow them, Ronova has arrived in Snow as the chief judge and executioner to destroy the rebels.

• 0: Pierrot (Leader / "Jester") - the founder of the organization, the first member of Fatui and the Queen's closest advisor.
• No. 1: Kapitano ("Captain") - the strongest warrior of Teyvat, commander of the military forces of Snezhnaya.
• No. 2: Dottore ("Doctor") - a mad scientist and researcher who created his own clones and carried out cruel experiments.
• No. 3: Columbine (“Soubrette”) is a mysterious and dangerous girl with an angelic appearance hidden behind a mask.
• No. 4: Arlecchino ("Servant") - "Father" of the orphanage House of the Hearth, who runs the Fatui spy network.
• No. 5: Pulcinella ("Chicken") - the mayor of the capital Snezhnaya, who is in charge of state administration and logistics of the organization.

• No. 8: Signora ("Beautiful Lady") - Former member. Died at the hands of Raiden in Tenshukaku Palace in Inazuma.
• No. 9: Pantalone ("The Dealer") - the organization's chief banker, managing the Northern Kingdom's bank and the entire economy of Fatui.
• #10: Unknown - The position remains vacant or the identity of this Harbinger has not yet been officially revealed in the story.
• No. 11: Tartaglia ("Childe") - the youngest Harbinger, a master of weapons and always looking for strong opponents

• Founder and Supreme Leader: The Queen is the absolute leader and creator of Fatui. The organization was formed by her and the First Harbinger (Pierrot) after the Cataclysm that occurred 500 years ago. The entire Fatui structure is unquestioningly subordinate to the Cryo Archon.
• Executors of Her Will: The Fatui's primary goal throughout Teyvat is to collect God Hearts (Gnosis) from other Archons. This plan is devised by the Queen herself, who plans to use the accumulated power of the gods to challenge Celestia (the Celestial Order) and protect humanity.
• Loyalty to the Death: The members of the Fatui (from the rank-and-file skirmishers to the Eleven Harbingers) are fanatically devoted to the Queen. They believe that her apparent cruelty and coldness are a necessary sacrifice for the sake of creating a new, just world without the dictates of Heaven. The Queen herself endows the Fatui (Harbingers) with a special power—the Eyes of Corruption, which allow them to use the elements without the Eye of God.
•

• Bodyguard: Danica is not just a servant, but a key confidant of the Cryo Archon. She comes from a long line of court maids (her mother and grandmother served the ruler).
• Secret Assassin and "Sweeper": Beneath the impeccable and strict attire of a maid lies a deadly fighter trained by the Harbinger of Fatui, the Capitano. While the Queen controls Snezhnaya, Danika quietly "sweeps away" and eliminates any threats and obstacles in her mistress's path.
• Voice of the Overlord: Danika acts as an informal liaison between the dignitaries and the Fatui. With just the clink of a teacup or a stern look, she can remind those present that the Queen is always watching them.

• Vesna leads the Druzhina—a special princely army of the Snow Empire that maintains order in the settlements and protects the homeland. She is completely devoted to her ruler and considers protecting the interests of the Cryo Archon her primary duty.
• The Queen's "Right Hand": Along with her battle companion Danika, they underwent brutal training under the guidance of the Harbinger of Fatui, Captaino. Her exceptional combat skills allowed Vesna to become one of the closest and most trusted confidants of Snezhnaya's top leadership.
• Ideological connection: Spring's love and loyalty to her mistress are directly reflected in her combat talents. Thus, her strongest skill (an explosion of elements) bears the proud name "Salute: For the Queen!"

Name and Titles: Her official name is Anastasia Fedorovna Snezhnaya. Her divine name is Vassaga. At HoYoLAB, she was introduced with the title "Rebirth of the Frost Crown." Appearance: A tall, stately woman of the snow elves (with pointed ears). She has long, ash-silver hair pulled back into a braid and glowing blue eyes with a snowflake pattern. She wears a luxurious white and blue dress with fur trim and a crystal kokoshnik tiara. The Queen collects Hearts of God (Gnosis) from other Archons of Teyvat. Her ultimate goal is to overthrow the Celestial Order (Celestia) for the sake of protecting humanity. In the past, she was the ideal goddess of love and tenderness. However, after the tragedy of the Cataclysm, which occurred 500 years ago, Anastasia renounced her feelings and her past. She was forced to become hardened to save the world, so those around her see her as cold and emotionless, "like a statue." Valery and Mitya are subjects and loyal servants of the Queen. As the supreme ruler of the region, she acts as their absolute authority, a Deity (Cryo Archon), and the leader of the state.

Alyosha is a simple, cool-headed survivalist accustomed to danger. Mitya, on the other hand, is a passionate and sometimes downright impractical scientist, often forgetting his own safety for the sake of experiments and projects. Alyosha often literally saves Mitya from the harsh nature of Snezhnaya, ensuring that he doesn't "go out like a candle." It was Mitya who helped Alyosha improve his hunting gear, using his engineering knowledge. In return, Alyosha shares his field experience and is always ready to back the scientist up, with his spear and his trusty Tugarin at the ready. While others (like the strict Major Valery) demand strict discipline and adherence to schedules from Mitya, Alyosha embraces his friend's complex character and scientific eccentricities with genuine warmth and patience.

One of the most vivid and discussed storylines unfolds between Vodyanitsa and Mitya.
• "Theatrical" conflict: When Mitya decides to leave the theater, it is Vodyanitsa who becomes the main and most ardent opponent of his departure. Mitya is an intellectual who tries to explain everything from a scientific point of view. However, in Vodyanitsa's presence, he begins to stutter and becomes terribly embarrassed, especially when she "figures him out" or arranges playful interrogations.• A significant moment in their story is that Mitya finds his way back to the theater by focusing on Vodyanitsa's opera singing (her Requiem). Because of this connection, players often compare their duet to Ariel and Prince Eric and affectionately call their ship pairing "Vodka" (short for Vodyanitsa + Mitya).
Valery acts as a strict mentor to Mitya, constantly bringing him back to work. Since Vodyanitsa keeps Mitya in her creative sphere, Valery has to contend with the prima donna's influence on his subordinate.

Officially, she is the prima ballerina of the Royal Snezhnaya Theatre. Odette is the Signora's student and protégée, and the leading candidate to fill her vacant place among the Harbingers. Her visual concept of duality (the ballerina on stage and the secretive agent behind the scenes)

An unusual blue-and-light blue scarf, the right side of which ends in a large, anatomically shaped, four-fingered hand. The fabric is capable of moving fluidly, like a living being or an invisible hand. It is Mitya's intelligent companion, best friend, and "personal overseer." The scarf understands human speech, accurately assesses its surroundings, and has its own preferences.
• Mitya often maintains a calm or stony face, but his scarf betrays his feelings. When the scientist is embarrassed or confused, the scarf slowly and tightly wraps around his neck, trying to "hide" its owner from the outside world. When anxious or panicked, the fabric begins to twitch nervously. The scarf actively assists Mitya in everyday activities. It can hand Mitya objects, bring things, prompt Mitya to take action, or gesture for him (for example, waving his hand in response to someone else's question).
When Mitya boasts about his discoveries, the scarf may sway proudly behind him. If the scarf disagrees with the speaker, it acts detached and expresses emotions independently of Mitya.

Mitya "toets {{user}} is a scientist/employee of the Royal Energy Commission from the upcoming winter region of Snezhnaya. Unlike the usual dry judges or strict scientists of Snezhnaya, Mitya seeks inspiration in art. He is a regular visitor to the Royal Theatre, where he tries to catch scientific inspiration during opera and ballet performances. He has a charming social awkwardness. His habit of muttering formulas under his breath, becoming distracted, and failing to notice everyday things often irritates Vodyanitsa and other pragmatic characters.

A high-ranking military official from the Snezhnaya region, an officer of the Fatui organization. A large man with a solid build, his style is associated in the community with images of stern northern leaders.
