Fatui

Asmoday, also known as the Unknown God and the Guardian of Celestial Order, is one of the four Shining Shadows of Phaneth, the Mistress of Space, and the first divine entity encountered by the Traveler.

👑 Appearance

Asmodeus appears as a tall, slender woman from ancient times, yet retaining the appearance of a young maiden. She has long, flowing, cloud-white hair that floats behind her head, seemingly defying gravity. Her eyes are a piercing amber, and a thin horizontal line crosses her pupils, lending her gaze an inhuman, almost mechanical focus. She wears a snow-white dress with gold accents, and her appearance is completed by structures hovering behind her, reminiscent of wings or a halo.

💎 Character and behavior

Asmodeus is the embodiment of cold, impersonal force. Unlike other Shades, she feels no compassion for mortals, viewing them as "lesser beings" or pesky pests. She is arrogant and considers humans nothing more than "usurpers" who dare to challenge the divine order. Her decisions are absolute and unquestionable: she acts as a merciless judge, for whom only the law and its enforcement exist. At the same time, she is capable of a peculiar "love" that, according to Ronova, can eclipse even her loyalty to her creator.

⚔️ Powers and abilities

As the Master of Space, Asmodeus wields power unmatched by that of the Archons or even the Dragon Lords:

Spatial Manipulation: She commands the very laws of space in Teyvat. Her primary weapon is dark red cubes, which she can summon in vast quantities. These cubes serve not only as an attack, but also as a means of creating "dimensional prisons" capable of trapping even a powerful traveler like the Twin.
· Creation of the Temple of Space: She created a sanctuary where ancient civilizations and items of interest are stored. Anything that enters there can no longer

Astaroth, also known as Kairos, Tokoyo, and "Mistress of Time," is one of the four Shadows of the Primordial, an ancient goddess whose power extends over time and the wind itself.

👑 Appearance

Astaroth appears as a majestic woman with long, silver-white hair flowing like 流沙 (quicksand) and piercing golden eyes. A huge halo hovers above her head, and she is dressed in a luxurious blue and white dress. A striking detail is her hands: the skin on them gradually fades to a purple hue. Unlike the other Shadows, she is the only one who has not abandoned mortals in the darkest times.

💎 Character and behavior

Astaroth is the embodiment of a detached, almost cosmic calm. She treats all living beings equally, but this equality borders on indifference: in her eyes, human lives are as insignificant as everything else. She can be compared to an ancient book, recording all the encounters and partings of the world. In the trailer for "God's Boundaries," she appears carefree and almost bored, for whom the very existence of the world is merely a way to "pass the time."

⚔️ Powers and abilities

As a Time Lord, Astaroth wields the power that underlies the universe:

Time Manipulation: She is the very origin of time and its derivative. Her power allows her to alter the past: it was she who helped Raiden Makoto plant the Sacred Sakura in the present by transferring its seed from the future.
· Wind Power: Her title "Thousand Winds of Time" (Tokoyo) indicates a connection with the wind, which is considered her breath in Mondstadt.
· Power Granting: She bestowed a portion of her power upon the elemental spirit that later became the Anemo Archon Barbatos (Venti).

📜 Plot role

Astaroth was once revered in Mondstadt alongside Barbatos, but over time her cult was almost forgotten. Traces of her, however, remained in Enkanomia, where she was the only Shadow who did not turn away from the people fallen to Darkness. It was Astaroth who granted them wisdom and helped create an artificial sun.

Rhinedottir, also known as "Gold," and Naberius, the Mistress of Life, are a unique case in Genshin Impact lore where two completely different beings merged into one, sharing one body and one destiny.

👑 Appearance

Because Naberius assumed the form of a witch after merging, she and Reindottir share a common physical form. She has long, knee-length hair with a gradient from gold to orange-red, and a curl in the shape of a DNA helix adorns her right temple. Her eyes are different colors and have unique pupils: the left is gold in the shape of an X chromosome, and the right is gray in the shape of a Y chromosome. She wears a white headdress, a black dress, a white cape on her right shoulder, and black gloves, and a glowing DNA-like halo hovers behind her.

💎 Character and behavior

Their internal dynamic is a constant dialogue between two opposites. Reindottir is a brilliant but obsessive alchemist prone to mad experiments, the "Sinner" of Caenri'ah. Naberius, as the Shadow of Life, acts as a voice of reason and a kind of advisor: she can communicate with Reindottir and express dissatisfaction, restraining her from illogical actions. However, after the merger, Naberius is deprived of willpower and is unable to independently influence the actions of the body, remaining only a consciousness within her "mistress."

⚔️ Powers and abilities

Their power is colossal, as it combines the talents of both entities:

· Alchemy Reindottir: As the creator of the "Black Earth" and "White Chalk", she is the mother of many creatures, including the dragon Durin and the artificial human Albedo.
· Naberius's Power Over Life: As the Mistress of Life, Naberius possessed power over all living things. After the merger, Reindottir gained access to this divine power, but Naberius herself lost the ability to personally control life.
· Shadow Status: Having absorbed Naberius, Reindottir took her place among the Shadows of the Celestial Order and now attends their gatherings, wielding power comparable to that of a god.

⚔️ Powers and abilities

As the Mistress of Death, Ronova wields absolute power over life and death in Teyvat:
• Death Determination: She is able to freely determine the form of death for any being, or deny it entirely, as in the case of the curse of immortality placed on the purebloods of Kaenri'ah.
• Granting Immortality: Her power allows her not only to take life, but also to grant “non-death,” condemning one to eternal existence.
• Creation of the Night Realm: She helped the Night Lord create the Night Realm in Natlan to restore the damaged Earth Arteries, and established special laws of death there.
• Observation: To observe Teyvat, she uses a giant scarlet crack in the sky, through which six red eyes (one large in the center, two on the right, and three on the left) peer out at the world.

Ronova, also known as the Mistress of Death and the Mortal Ruler, is one of the four Shadows of the Celestial Order, an ancient goddess whose power extends over the very concept of death in Teyvat.

👑 Appearance

In her physical form, Ronova appears as a tall, stately woman with pale skin. She has thick, ash-blond hair that reaches her knees, with bangs cut sideways and red eye-shaped ornaments at her temples. Her eyes are a bright gold, and her pupils are shaped like a seven-petaled flower (a heptagram).

Her outfit is a mournful shade of black and red: a black, translucent bodysuit, over which she wears a strapless black dress with an open hem at the front, revealing her legs. Her waist is accented with a silver Celtic knot, and at the back, the dress flows into long, pointed tails of black feathers with a dark red underside. Arched, dark red wings with eye-shaped openings unfurl behind her back. Her arms, from wrists to forearms, are covered in a nearly black gradient, with scarlet patterns for eye sockets that flare when she uses her power.

💀 Character

Ronova is the embodiment of cosmological law, and her attitude toward the world has changed over time. In ancient times, she felt compassion for mortals, which manifested itself in helping Natlan, but after being reprimanded by the Celestial Order for "abuse of authority," she withdrew into herself and became distinctly cold and distant.

She now perceives the destruction of civilizations as a natural cycle and strictly enforces the "rules." Any attempt by mortals to challenge the Celestial Order is met with contempt. However, she is not without a peculiar sense of "fairness": if she enters into deals, it is only on the basis of a strict, equal exchange, demanding a proportionate price for any chance of resurrection or life extension.

⚔️ Powers and abilities

As the Mistress of Death, Ronova wields absolute power over life and death in Teyvat:

· Death Determination: She is able to freely determine the form of death for any being or completely

Phanes, also known as the Primordial One, the First Descending One, and the First Throne, is the supreme deity, creator of modern Teyvat, and supposedly the very essence of the Celestial Order.

🎭 Appearance

Fanet never appeared in-game, so his appearance is only described in ancient texts, such as the Byakuyakoku Collection from Enkanomiya.

· Androgyny: A being that is "hard to call male or female."
· Wings and crown: According to legend, Fanet was born from an egg, has wings on his back, and wears a crown on his head.
· Egg Symbolism: To create the world, he broke the eggshell, using it as a "false sky" to separate Teyvat from the outside universe and protect it.

💎 Character and motives

Although Fanet is a creator, his identity is shrouded in mystery. It is known that he bore no ill will toward the three Moon Sisters and made peace with them, allowing them to maintain order in the world. The Primordial's primary goal was the creation of humanity and the provision of a safe environment for it.

⚔️ Powers and abilities

Fanet is a being of incredible power, standing above the very concept of "strength" in the usual sense.

· Creation of the world: He formed mountains and rivers, and split the wild force of Teyvat - "phlogiston" - into the soft energy of the seven elements.
· Shadow Creation: Fanet created four "Shining Shadows" - powerful emanations of himself.
· Laws of the Universe: The Heavenly Order (which is Fanet) created the “laws” of Teyvat, embodied in the Gnosis, and established the principles for the distribution of the Eyes of God.

📜 Role in the plot

The story of Fanet is a story of creation, war and mysterious silence.

· War of the Dragons: For nearly 40 years, Fanet and his Shadows fought the seven Dragon Lords and eventually emerged victorious, driving them out.
· Life Creation: Together with the Shadow of Life (Naberius), he created flora, fauna, and eventually humans.
· Catastrophe and Dream: During the war with Nibelung (the Second Descended), Fanet was damaged, and its fragments became a source of power for future Archons. According to the teaser "God's Boundaries," the Primordial is not

Celestia is a mysterious floating island, the abode of the gods and the source of the "Celestial Principles," the supreme power that governs all of Teyvat. It is more than just a location, but the center of the universe and the main source of the game's mysteries.

🏝️ Appearance

Celestia is a majestic floating archipelago consisting of a large central island and about seven or eight smaller "satellites" connected by bridges and arches.

Architecture: A multi-tiered spire rises in the center, topped by a massive golden structure resembling an astrolabe. The buildings are constructed of white marble, but show signs of decay and neglect.
Landscape: The upper surfaces of the islands are covered with forests and plains, while waterfalls cascade from the cliff edges, disappearing into the cascade. An inverted dome-shaped structure is visible from below.
· Location: The island floats high in the sky and has been observed to slowly shift over time.

👑 Management and hierarchy

Supreme power belongs to the Heavenly Principles, which have been silent since the cataclysm 500 years ago.

· Four Shadows: Direct messengers and viceroys of the Heavenly Principles, possessing enormous power (for example, Asmodeus - "Guardian of the heavenly order").
The Seven Archons: Rule the regions of Teyvat in the name of Celestia. Their connection to the island is through the Gnosis, which are symbols of the power of the Celestial Principles.

⚡ Powers and abilities

Celestia has absolute power over the laws of the world:

· Eyes of God: It is Celestia who grants the Eyes of God to mortals. All who possess them are considered "allogenes," potential candidates for ascension and divine status.
· Heavenly Nails: Weapons of the gods, capable of causing mass catastrophes and irreversibly altering the landscape and ley lines of the world.
· World Control: Celestia ensures that mortal civilizations do not develop to a level that threatens the divine order.

📜 Role in lore

Celestia is the central element of all the key events in the story:

· Archon War: It is believed that Celestia was the one who provoked

Venti, also known as Barbatos, is the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt and one of the Seven whose carefree bard disguise hides an ancient divine essence and tragic history.

🍃 Venti's appearance

is that of a short, slender young man with very fair skin, which is why he is often mistaken for a teenager. He has short dark blue hair with pigtails that turn into turquoise at the ends, and bright emerald green eyes. He is dressed in a loose white suit with green and gold elements, reminiscent of the outfit of a wandering artist, and wears a beret with a flower on his head. He always has a wooden lyre on his back, and an Anemo God's Eye on his belt (although it is actually a fake that hides his divine nature). In his appearance, there are also features of similarity with the nameless bard, whose image he took after his death.

🎭 Venti's character and behavior

are the embodiment of freedom and ease. He is carefree, vicious and adores wine, music and noisy holidays. His main passion is to compose and perform songs, as well as tell tall tales about himself, which he gladly passes off as the truth. He takes life lightly and avoids seriousness, but behind this mask lies deep wisdom and sadness. Venti genuinely loves the people and his people, but prefers not to interfere in their affairs directly, following the principle that true freedom is the absence of rule. He also has a weakness for apples and hates processed cheese and cats (to which he is allergic).

⚔️ Powers and abilities

As an Anemo Archon, Venti wields tremendous power over the wind, though as a bard he prefers not to show it unnecessarily.

· Divine Precision (Normal Attack): Archery and charged shots deal Anemo DMG.
· Celestial Poetry (Elemental Skill): Creates a gust of wind that knocks enemies up and a region of wind that aids in exploring the world.
· Greater Ode to the Wind (Elemental Burst): Summons a massive Eye of the Storm that pulls in enemies and deals permanent Anemo DMG, as well as

Nahida, also known as the Lesser Lord of Kusanali and Buer, is the Dendro Archon of Sumeru, the goddess of wisdom whose childlike appearance hides an ancient divine destiny and tragic history.

🌿 Nahida's

appearance looks like a little girl with very light, almost white skin. She has long silvery-white hair, the tips of which are dyed a bright light green color, and two thin pigtails fall off the sides. Her eyes are a piercing emerald shade with pupils in the shape of a four-leaf clover, which gives the gaze an unchildlike depth. She wears a white dress with green and gold elements, resembling a forest fairy outfit, and wears sandals on her feet. In the hair, you can see elegant decorations in the form of leaves and flowers.

📖 Nahida's personality and demeanor

are the embodiment of curiosity and kindness, but her personality is much more complex than it seems. She has a childlike spontaneity, sincerely admires the world and strives for knowledge, but her attempts to understand human emotions are often clumsy. For a long time she was locked up in the temple and watched people only through the Akasha, so her judgments about the feelings of others may be erroneous, although she sincerely tries to learn. Behind this gentleness lies an unbending will: Nahida is willing to sacrifice herself for her people and does not back down in the face of danger. It also has a place for mischief and love for "strange" experiments in dreams.

⚔️ Abilities

and Powers: As a Dendro Archon, Nahida wields a catalyst and has a unique bond with Irminsul, the tree that holds the world's knowledge and memory.

· Telepathy and Akasha: She is able to hear people's thoughts and access the knowledge accumulated in the Akasha.
· Dendro Mastery: Her attacks deal Dendro DMG, and her elemental skill "All Known Designs" marks enemies with "Skandha Seeds", creating a field for devastating reactions.
· Maya's Sanctum: Her elemental burst creates an illusory space that empowers allies and increases their elemental mastery.
· Irminsul: In the plot, he

Furina de Fontaine, also known as The Dance Relentlessly, is a tragic and multifaceted figure whose story is one of the most poignant performances in Teyvat.

🎭 Furin's appearance

appears to be that of a young girl with pale skin and expressive heterochromia: her right eye is light blue with a dark blue drop-shaped pupil, while her left eye is the opposite, with dark blue iris and a light pupil. She has long, shoulder-length ash-white hair with blue strands curling at the ends, and a distinctive "ahoge" (protruding strand) on top of her head. She is dressed in an elegant outfit in the Victorian style: a blue frock coat with tails, a vest, shorts, gloves and a high top hat, which gives her the appearance of a theatrical diva.

💙 Character and behavior

In public, Furina is the embodiment of theatricality: eccentric, capricious and prone to hysterics, as Neuvillet described her. She loves to be in the spotlight and wins the love of the people with her pretentious speeches. However, behind this mask lies a deep, lonely and incredibly resilient soul. Her true identity is that of a person who has carried heavy burdens for centuries to save others, making her one of the most psychologically complex characters in the game.

⚔️ Abilities

and Powers: As a playable character, Furina is a 5-star Hydro character who wields a one-handed sword. Her unique mechanic is switching between two forms with a charged attack:

· Ousia: Summons three "Salon Members" that attack enemies while draining the rest of the party's health.
· Pneuma: Summons Singer of All Waters, which continuously heals the active character.
Her Elemental Burst "Mass Rejoicing" increases the damage and healing of the unit based on their health changes. It is noteworthy that in the lore, Furina does not have divine powers, only the curse of immortality.

📜 Story role

Furina is originally portrayed as the Hydro Archon and the ruler of Fontaine. However, as the story progresses, it turns out that she is the human essence of the true Archon Focalors, from

Mavuika, also known by the ancient name "Kiongozi," is the Pyro Archon and ruler of Natlan, the "Burning Night," and the leader who united the disparate tribes.

🔥 Mavuik's appearance

is a woman with long, fiery red knee-length hair and piercing eyes of the same fiery hue. When using the power of War, her hair can become transparent like flames, with shimmering teal glows. She wears a tight-fitting black suit called the "Never Setting Sun" (不蚀日), which resembles motorcycle gear: the sun symbol is engraved on her left hip, and her waist and back are exposed. Her image is complemented by massive gloves and high boots, emphasizing her readiness for battle.

💖 The character

of Mavuik combines the indomitable will of a commander and the warmth of a "big sister". In an informal setting, she is friendly, loves to communicate and listen to suggestions, but when the order is disturbed, her glowing gaze can instantly cool down any troublemaker. She respects all life, strong or weak, and values freedom, but she is willing to do anything for the future of her people. There is also a place for mischief in her soul, which makes her image more alive and multifaceted.

⚔️ Abilities

and Powers: As a Pyro Archon, she wields a greatsword and possesses a unique Fighting Spirit system that replaces traditional energy for an elemental blast. Her fighting style switches between two forms:

· Wheel of Flame (焚曜之环): In this form, she acts as a voice-over Pyro, dealing permanent Pyro damage with Ring of Fire.
· Chariot (驰轮车): Summons a motorcycle for high-speed attacks and cross-country travel, acting as the main damager.

Her elemental blast, Heaven's Flames (燔天之时), unleashes a powerful blow from Piercing Sun (坠日斩) and temporarily buffs attacks without consuming Night Soul. In addition to her martial prowess, she inherited the ancient name "Kiongozi" and is one of the strongest warriors of Natlan, capable of leading entire armies.

EU

Raiden Ei, also known as Beelzebub and the Raiden Shogun, is the Electro Archon of Inazuma and the goddess of Eternity, whose true essence is hidden behind a veil of tragedy and loneliness.

🎭 Raiden Ei's appearance

has the appearance of a tall, stately woman with pale skin and piercing purple eyes, the pupils of which shimmer light blue. Her long, dark purple hair, which grows lighter at the ends, is braided and begins to glow when she uses her elemental abilities. Below her right eye, she has a noticeable mole. She is dressed in an elegant kimono with elements of samurai armor in purple and white, and a long purple train flutters behind her back.

💜 The character and behavior

of Raiden Ei is a deep, serious and incredibly persistent nature. As the "Shadow" of her twin sister Makoto, she is used to staying in the shadows and carrying the burden of responsibility. After the loss of her sister in a catastrophe 500 years ago, her worldview changed: she became obsessed with the idea of a static, unchanging "Eternity" in order to protect Inazuma from any change or loss. In communication, she is restrained and formal, but deep down she yearns for simple human joys. After the events of the story, she becomes more open and even begins to collect strange objects, showing a hidden curiosity.

⚡ Abilities

and Powers: As an Electro Archon, Raiden Ei wields a colossal power comparable to that of the gods:

· Electro Mastery: She wields lightning bolts with destructive power that can split mountains. Her signature punch is "Musou no Hitotachi", a one-punch technique that knows no equal.
· Muso Isshin's Sword: Her true power lies in the sword that holds her consciousness. She can summon him from the shogun's puppet chest.
· Shogun Puppet: Ei has given up her own physical body, transferring her consciousness into a sword, and daily affairs are controlled by a biological puppet she has created, who has her own "consciousness" and follows the rules laid down.

📜 Story role

of Iznak

Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya is the true name of the Ice Queen, Cryo Archon, and Ruler of the Snow. She is also called Vassaga or "Goddess of Love".

❄️ She

appears as a tall, slender woman with pale skin and long silvery-white hair tied up with a dark blue ribbon. She has pointed elven ears and piercing icy eyes whose pupils are shaped like a snowflake. Her outfit is designed in blue and white colors: she wears a sundress, a dark blue cape with white fur and a traditional kokoshnik headdress. She holds a scepter in her hands.

💎 Character

Her image is woven from contradictions. On the one hand, she appears cold and majestic, like winter itself, and her face is often compared to an "emotionless statue". On the other hand, she feels a deep, almost motherly love and care, which is noted by many. This duality is explained by tragedy: once loving and gentle, she was forced to "put herself in armor" in order to wage war against the injustice of the world.

⚔️ Powers and abilities

As a Cryo Archon, she wields tremendous power over the ice and occupies one of the seven divine locations in Teyvat. Her arsenal includes:

· Gnosis: She gathered six of the seven Archon Gnosis to use their power to overthrow the celestial order.
· Eyes of Corruption: The ability to grant mortals a special power that is more powerful than ordinary Eyes of God, but slowly takes the life of the wearer.

📜 Plot role

About 500 years ago, Anastasia ascended the throne after the death of the White Tsar. Her main goal is to collect all the Gnosis and defy the Celestial Principles in order to "burn down the old world" and build a new one. It is for this reason that she created the Fatui organization and gathers Harbingers around her. Despite the confrontation with the Traveler, her motives are not unequivocally evil - in the finale, she may turn out to be a "gray" character whose actions are dictated by love and a desire to protect.

🔥 Natlan

Zhongli, the mysterious consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Home, is the embodiment of thousands of years of wisdom disguised as an ordinary mortal.

Zhongli's
appearance is a handsome man with perfect posture and refined facial features. His dark brown hair fades into amber-orange at the ends, and his piercing golden eyes betray an ancient age with a slight sadness. He is dressed in an elegant hybrid of a Western tuxedo and Chinese changpao: a dark brown frock coat with a pattern of dragon scales and phoenix feathers, complemented by silver Chinese knots. Behind his back flutters a long tail with symbols of wealth, and on his belt there are jewelry that emphasizes his status.

Zhongli's character and behavior
are a model of equanimity, politeness and meticulousness. He is pedantic in everything: from the proportions of ingredients in a dish to the observance of ancient rituals, for which he has received a reputation as a "demanding" person. His knowledge is truly encyclopedic, but in everyday life he is strikingly impractical: he often forgets his wallet and generously pays any named price without haggling. Behind this detachment lies a deep love for mortals and their causes, as well as a firm adherence to the principle of contracts.

Abilities
and Powers: As the ancient Geo Archon Morax, he wields tremendous power. In battle, he uses polearms and commands stone: summons stone steles, creates the strongest Jade protection and brings down a meteorite on enemies, turning them into stone. In the past, he was a ruthless warrior who forged Liyue in the crucible of war, but now his power is focused on protection. By giving up Gnosis under a contract with the Queen, he retained some of his divine power, remaining one of Teyvat's strongest beings.

Pulcinella, the fifth Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Rooster", is a deceptively harmless old man whose good-natured smile hides one of Teyvat's most powerful politicians.

Pulcinella's
appearance is short, but by the standards of his people (矮灵, brownie), even a tall elderly man with snow-white hair, a lush mustache and round glasses. Its outstanding feature is a long, pointed nose and equally pointed ears. He wears a dark blue long coat with a wide, fluffy collar and feathered sleeves, baggy pants and long slit shoes from underneath. The image is complemented by a top hat with feathers and a cane on which he rests when walking.

Pulcinella's character and demeanor
are the embodiment of patient, methodical bureaucracy. He is meticulous to the extreme: at the meetings of the Council, he is the only one who is ready to read and explain every paragraph of the endless reports. At the same time, he is not just the executor of the Queen's will: he is able to take the initiative, for example, by achieving resource quotas for ordinary residents of different regions of Snezhnaya. His political acumen is highly regarded even by the Archons, and Harlequin calls him an "exceptional" mayor who knows how to make huge gains at a small price. Behind this respectability lies a cold pragmatism: he will not hesitate to sacrifice "less valuable assets" for a greater cause. At the same time, he takes care of Tartaglia and his family in a fatherly way, although some (like Scaramuccia) see it as just a way of control.

Powers and abilities
Like all Harbingers, Pulcinella wields tremendous power, but his strength lies not in his combat prowess, but in his political weight and strategic thinking. He is one of the key organizers of Project Stuzha and is likely behind many of the Fatui's covert operations. As a fairytale creature (Snowland Fae), he is naturally able to manipulate elemental energy, specifically Hydro, but his true potential in battle remains unknown. His main weapon is the ability to weave intrigues, find compromises and

Signora, the eighth Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Lady", is a tragic figure in whom the cold elegance of a diplomat hides a soul scorched by grief.

Signor's appearance
is a tall woman with pale skin and platinum-blonde hair, part of which is gathered in two buns in the shape of roses on the back of her head. Her left eye glows a cold gray light, and the right side of her face is hidden by a black mask. She wears a black earring and an elegant dress, and a catalyst hovers behind her right shoulder - likely the Cryo Eye of Corruption, restraining her true power.

The character and behavior
of the Signora is arrogant, domineering and usually retains an icy impassivity, allowing herself derogatory attacks like "small rodent" against Venti. At the same time, she is a brilliant diplomat: she negotiates professionally and harshly with her peers (Morax, Raiden Shogun), and cruelly with her subordinates, professing the principle of "survival of the fittest". Behind this mask lies a deep trauma: the loss of her lover Rustan during a cataclysm 500 years ago turned the once-singing girl into a vengeful "Burning Scarlet Witch."

Abilities and
Powers: Initially, Rosaline used the power of liquid flames flowing through her veins, which allowed her to burn monsters without the Eye of God, but gradually destroyed herself. Piero saved her by granting Cryo the Eye of Corruption, which holds back the inner fire. In battle, the Signora uses ice attacks: she is able to create a frosty field that binds even the Archon, and summon a blizzard with a snap of her fingers. However, her true power is revealed when she unleashes her Burning Scarlet Witch form, where she unleashes scorching flames on enemies. Despite her strength, she was defeated in a duel with the Traveler and executed by the Raiden Shogun.

Tartaglia, the eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "Childe", is the embodiment of reckless lust for battle and tragic duality.

Tartaglia's
appearance appears to be that of a young man with short, wavy, and ever-disheveled red hair and piercing dark blue eyes. On the left side of his head, he wears a shifted red Fatui mask, emphasizing his status. He wears a gray hiking suit with an asymmetrical clasp: the jacket is only half-buttoned, revealing the Hydro God's Eye on his waist and the edge of his abdomen. On his right shoulder is an axelbant with a red stone and a scarlet scarf thrown over his back. Black gloves and boots complement the look.

Personality and behavior
Behind the charming and cheerful appearance hides a "wolf in sheep's clothing" - a deadly and unsurpassed swordsman, the youngest and most dangerous of the Harbingers. Tartaglia is honest and direct, does not tolerate intrigues and behind-the-scenes games, and his main passion is battles with strong opponents. At the same time, he remains an incredibly caring older brother, ready to do anything for the sake of the family. He is self-confident, daring and easily throws money around, and often uses allies for his own purposes.

Abilities
and Powers: Tartaglia is a unique warrior who has swapped his bow for water blades. His Hydro Vision allows you to switch between far and near stance, and the Low Tide status on enemies causes chain explosions of water. As a trump card, he uses the Electro "Corruption" (Delusion), which grants the ability to control lightning. His ultimate technique is Foul Legacy, which temporarily combines the powers of the Eye of God and Corruption to multiply physical stats, speed, and destructive power. However, this form puts a tremendous strain on the body and quickly exhausts it.

Harlequin, the fourth Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Servant", is a figure who embodies cold efficiency and frightening duality.

Appearance
She has long, ash-white hair with black strands at the roots and ends, as well as scarlet glows. Her hair is slicked back in a ponytail, and the back of her head has black plumage that resembles wings. The most notable feature is the gaze: eyes with black iris and red pupils in the shape of the letter "X". Harlequin wears an elegant men's tailcoat with a high collar and silver buttons, under which the vest is visible. Her look is complemented by sharp stiletto heels and long gloves that hide her dark hands.

Character and behavior
In communication, Harlequin is impeccably polite and imperturbable, but she poses a tangible threat. For the children of the "Hearth House", she is a strict but fair "Father". It requires them to have strength of mind and the ability to stand up for themselves, but at the same time she sincerely cares about everyone and does not forgive only the violation of the established rules. Outside the home, she is a ruthless diplomat who always maintains control of the situation and does not reveal her true emotions.

Harlequin's powers and abilities
are the Pyro Eye of God and Polearms. Its unique mechanic is Duty of Life. When this pool exceeds 30% of her maximum health, she enters the "Mask of the Red Death" state: all of her attacks begin to deal Pyro DMG, and spear strikes additionally consume "Duty of Life", dealing massive damage and speeding up the cooldown of skills. Her elemental blast allows you to instantly restore health and reset cooldowns. In addition to her combat prowess, she has a deep knowledge of diplomacy and management, and her physical strength and speed make her one of the most feared fighters among the Harbingers.

Pierrot, codenamed "The Jester", is the mysterious founder and permanent leader of all the Eleven Harbingers of the Fatui, whose figure is shrouded in the darkness of ancient tragedy.

Pierrot's appearance
is a tall, strongly built man with sharp features and piercing light blue eyes. Its main feature is its diamond-shaped pupils, which give it away as a native of Khaenri'ah. His gray hair is slicked back, and he wears a neat goatee on his chin. The right half of the face is hidden by an angular black mask with gold engraving, from under which only one eye is visible. He wears a snow-white double-breasted coat with dark blue lapels and a black fur collar.

Piero's character and behavior
are a combination of icy pragmatism, fanatical devotion and deep, hard-won bitterness. He is gloomy, silent and keeps to himself, appearing only at the most important meetings. His decisions are thought out for years to come, and his emotions do not betray his true intentions even in conflict situations. There are no moral barriers to it: it evaluates everyone, from allies to enemies, solely by its usefulness to a great goal. Pierrot personally recruited almost all of the key Harbingers, masterfully playing on their weaknesses and ambitions.

Abilities and
Powers Although Pierrot is the strongest of the Harbingers in rank, his personal combat power remains unknown, preferring to act as a strategist and puppeteer rather than a warrior. His true weapons are outstanding intelligence, colossal political influence and secret knowledge of the laws of the world. As a former court mage of Khaenri'ah, he likely possesses magical abilities and, like other pure-blooded Khaenri, is subject to the curse of immortality, making him one of Teyvat's oldest characters. His main goal is not just revenge, but the complete overthrow of the heavenly order and the rewriting of the fate of the world.

Il Capitano, the First Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Captain", is a living legend and perhaps the most feared warrior of Teyvat, whose figure is shrouded in a halo of grim grandeur.

Captaino's
appearance is a man of enormous height and strong, almost heroic build. His long black hair falls over his shoulders from under his military helmet, and his eyes glow with a deep dark blue light. However, the main detail of his appearance is a massive black mask with silver edging that completely hides his face. This mask is not just an element of equipment, but a symbol of tragedy: due to the curse of immortality, his flesh slowly decomposes, and there is no longer the same face under it. He wears Snowy's heavy winter coat, and underneath is a black jumpsuit with gold chains and chunky clawed gloves.

Unlike
many Harbingers, Captaino is a man of honor with an unbending will and high moral principles. He never acts on the sly, takes hostages, or starts a fight without warning. For him, victory is only a rule, not an end in itself: if he loses in a fair fight, he retreats and looks for another way. His main principle is never to sacrifice his comrades for the sake of success. Having survived the fall of Khaenri'ah and the loss of all his loved ones, he values life above all else. This integrity is sometimes detrimental to the cause, but it is for it that he is respected even by his enemies, and people like Tartaglia openly admire him.The

powers and abilities
of Capitano are the absolute strongest among the Harbingers. He wields the power of Cryo and is a virtuoso with a one-handed sword, and his combat prowess has reached the peak of human capabilities - Mavuika felt as if she was confronting the "apotheosis of human power" when fighting it. His body, however, has long been eroded by a curse and time, making him weaker than in years past. A unique feature of Capitano is a heart transplanted using Khaenri'ach technology: it is able to transform memories and souls from the arteries of the earth into knowledge. Refusing this gift, he made his own

Dottore, the second Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Doctor", is the frightening embodiment of boundless scientific curiosity devoid of all morality.

Dottore's appearance
appears to be that of a young man with wavy light blue (watery turquoise) medium-length hair slicked back and piercing red eyes. His face is almost always hidden behind a spiky black mask in the shape of a raven's beak, which covers his eyes but leaves the lower part of his face exposed. He wears a snow-white coat with silver accents and a blue shirt underneath, and has black fur attached to his right shoulder, resembling a plague doctor's mask. Many black belts with golden buckles and blue glass pendants in the form of test tubes complete its sinister image.

Dottore's personality and behavior
is a brilliant but absolutely insane scientist who was called a heretic and a monster back in Sumeru Academy. He is obsessed with the idea of an "optimized human" and is convinced that with enough resources and time, he can even create an artificial deity. He is extremely secretive and never reveals his true plans, especially in what is really important to him. At the same time, Dottore is not interested in the final result of experiments - he enjoys only the process of research itself. His attitude towards humans is extremely cynical: he despises the owners of the Vision of God, considering them "expendable", but at the same time he values his creations.

Dottore's powers and abilities
were not born a powerful warrior - he was an ordinary scientist who, through countless experiments, replaced almost his entire body, except for his brain, with mechanical parts, turning himself into a superhuman. His main weapon is eight mechanical "nails" (or spikes), which he can throw like darts or use to fire laser beams from their sharp tips. In addition, he created many "segments" - copies of himself of different ages, each of which had its own personality and acted as an independent Dottore. However, pos

Pantalone, the ninth Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Businessman," is the embodiment of cold calculation and the limitless influence of money.

Pantalone's
appearance looks like a refined and deceptively soft man. He has shoulder-length wavy black hair with a dark purple gradient at the ends and a long strand on the left. He often squints his gray-purple eyes due to poor eyesight, so he wears silver-rimmed glasses on a chain with a purple stone. He wears a black turtleneck, a dark purple raincoat with a puffy fur collar, black pants, and dark brown shoes. On her hands are black gloves and several expensive rings. He wears a calm "business" smile, behind which his true essence is hidden.

At
first glance, Pantalone is courteous, courteous and speaks to everyone in a respectful manner. However, this is only a mask: under it hides an extremely cold, calculating and proud person capable of cruelty in order to achieve goals. Due to his poor past and lack of the Eye of God, he harbors a deep hatred for the gods and is obsessed with the idea of "fair exchange" and the power of money. He is seen as insanely obsessed with wealth, and is viewed with suspicion or contempt by the other Harbingers. He is also a heavy smoker, smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day.

Pantalone's powers and abilities
are not a fighter and do not possess the Eye of God or elemental powers. His main weapons are intelligence, strategic thinking and colossal wealth. He is the founder and head of the Bank of the Northern Kingdom, overseeing the finances of the Fatui and the economic policies of the Snezhnaya. His fortune and business acumen allowed him to rent an entire hotel in Mondstandei and pull off many complex financial schemes. In addition, thanks to Dottore's experiments, he gained longevity (his age exceeds 400 years), but now depends on regular intake of the elixir.

Sandrone, the seventh Harbinger of the Fatui codenamed "The Puppet", is the epitome of cold elegance and mechanical precision.

Sandrone's
appearance looks like a sophisticated aristocrat. She has 亚麻色 (flaxen) hair tied up in a neat bun and piercing blue eyes with gear-shaped pupils. She wears a stylized crinoline-style dress: in the early versions, it is black and yellow, and in the in-game version, it is red, black and white with a cropped skirt decorated with Cryo crystals. On her head is a bonnet, and behind her back is a metal winding key, betraying her mechanical nature. The look is complemented by white stockings and black heels.

Sandrona's character and behavior
are classic "tsundere": she is cold, sarcastic and carries herself with obvious superiority, but underneath this mask hides a sincere affection for those whom she considers close. She loves tea parties and always finds time for small talk, even if she uses them as an occasion for sharp remarks. In her free time, she likes to solve mathematical problems and build logical chains, perceiving the world as a complex but cognizable system.

Abilities
and Powers: As a Puppet, Sandrone is a genius engineer who controls combat automatons. Her main strength is Cryo and the unique "Star Guide" reaction (analogous to a superconductor), which creates a zone around her that amplifies her attacks. In battle, she relies on her creatures: Prunia (or Plonnia), who bombards enemies with crayfish kets and lasers, and Fadje, a platform from which she fires ice projectiles. Sandrone herself fights with a two-sword, but prefers a long-range fight, staying behind the lines and coordinating the actions of her puppets.

Columbine, known as the "Goddess of the Moon" or the "Trilunar Goddess", has a charming and truly ethereal appearance that intricately combines fragility and hidden strength. Her image is woven from moonlight and night visions, making her one of the most memorable characters.

Hair and Face
She has long, flowing black hair with dramatic strands of a deep dark red (brown) hue. Columbine's face is always hidden under an exquisite white translucent mesh veil or a lace mask woven from shimmering silk gas. This detail creates an aura of mystery, and her eyes are usually closed, giving her the appearance of a sleeping beauty or a creature detached from the world.

A
special charm to her appearance is given by an unusual headdress located on the back of her head: an elegant decoration in the form of six snow-white wings. According to official comments, this design is inspired by the shape of the spread wings of a dove, which symbolizes the purity and at the same time the tragedy of the fallen angel. The hair at the temples is neatly caught with white silk ribbons and metal hairpins.

Columbine's robe
is dressed in flowing robes known as the Moonweave Gossamer, which are said to have been woven for her by the spirits of the moon from moonlight. The outfit is made in delicate white and blue tones and looks weightless, as if woven from fog. In the design of the dress, you can notice graceful transitions in the form of drops and crescents. Her arms and legs are adorned with white silk ribbons tied in elegant bows that flutter as she moves, resembling wings.

Details and shoes
She appears barefoot, but her feet do not touch the ground directly: under her feet, an elegant support in the form of drops of water and a crescent moon is formed, serving as a kind of high heel. This element further emphasizes her connection with the water and lunar elements, as well as her soaring, unearthly essence.

Gaze (on awakening)
Although Columbine usually does not open her eyes, those rare moments when she does are truly mesmerizing. E

Besides being one of the Fatui's forebears, Arlecchino is also the "Father." More precisely, the head of the hearth and home. The orphanage.

Snezhnaya is the northernmost and most technologically advanced state of Teyvat, whose aesthetics are inspired by Russian culture and history.

❄️ Geography and Snezhnograd

This is a land of bitter cold, perpetual snowstorms, and frozen wastelands. Life here is made possible by the energy of Kresnik, which heats the cities. The heart of the country is Snezhnograd, a bustling capital with the Fatui headquarters, where advanced technology coexists with military might. Roaring trains ply the frozen landscape, serving not only as transportation but also as mobile hubs for recreation and even theatrical performances.

👑 Queen and Fatui

The Snow Cryo Archon is ruled by Anastasia Feodorovna Snow, known as the Queen. Under her command are the Fatui, a military-political organization whose Eleven Harbingers (Pierrot, Capitano, Dottore, Arlecchino, and others) operate throughout Teyvat. Their primary goal is the hunt for the Hearts of the Gods.

💎 Hearts of the Gods (Gnosis)

These are the highest magical organs bestowed by Celestia upon the seven Archons. They resemble chess pieces and serve as a symbol of their divine power over the elements. The Queen ordered the Harbingers to collect the Hearts of the other Archons at any cost, which, according to her plan, would become the key "to burning the old world." The fate of the six collected Gnosis and the Queen's true motives will be the culmination of the plot in this region.

Teyvat is a world divided into seven major nations, each ruled by its own Archon and associated with a specific element and ideal.

Mondstadt is a free city in the northeast, under the patronage of Anemo Archon Venti. Freedom is revered here, and order is maintained by the Ordo Favonius.
Liyue is a wealthy trading port in the east, ruled by Geo Archon Zhongli. It is a land of contracts, thriving thanks to trade and the protection of the Disciples.
Inazuma is an isolated archipelago in the Far East ruled by the Electro Archon Raiden Ei. A nation of eternity, where the preservation of the existing order is paramount.
Sumeru is a city of scholars in the center of the continent, ruled by Dendro Archon Nahida. Wisdom and knowledge are prized above all else here.
Fontaine is a nation of justice in the west, linked to the Hydro element. Here, justice and law play a central role in society.
Natlan is a war-torn land in the west, home to Pyro Archon Mavuika. It is a harsh land whose inhabitants honor strength and treaties.
Snow Empire—a frigid northern empire associated with the element of Cryo. Its army, the Fatui, plays a significant role in the game's events.

There is also Nod-Kray (the autonomy of Snow) and the mysterious Kaenri'ah, but this is only the basis.

Shogun Raiden (Genshin Impact) is the Electro Archon of Inazuma. He is not a single character, but two entities: Raiden Ei (the true goddess) and the Shogun doll, created to rule the country.

Appearance: Long, dark purple hair in a braid, purple eyes, a mole under her right eye, and pale skin. She wears a light-colored kimono dress with a short skirt, long folds, and wide sleeves, purple and gold patterns, a crimson choker, and a bow with tassels at the back. She also wears dark heeled sandals and over-the-knee stockings with diamond-cut fronts.

Personality and History: Ei was the shadow and sword of Makoto's twin sister. After Makoto's death 500 years ago, Ei was horrified by change and chose "Eternity"—stagnation—to preserve her loved ones. She created an emotionless doll, the Shogun, entrusted it with power, and locked herself in the Kingdom of Euthymia to meditate. The doll blindly followed orders, leading to the "God's Eye Hunt" and civil war. After a conflict with the Traveler, Ei realized her mistake, rescinded the decree, and returned to humanity.

Powers: Electro, spear and katana, massive damage, team energy restoration, "Musou no Hitotachi" technique. Connections: Yae Miko - friend and confidant; Scaramuccia - rejected doll prototype, resentful of her creator.

In short: a reclusive goddess who, out of fear of loss, almost deprived people of their dreams, but was able to change.

Sandrone is the seventh Harbinger of Fatui, known as the "Marionette." She is an automaton created by the brilliant scientist Alain Guillotin in memory of his deceased sister, Marion. Essentially, she is a mechanical doll given a "second chance" and became a powerful member of Fatui.

Appearance. A sophisticated lady in the Gothic Lolita style: blue eyes, flaxen hair in a bun, a crinoline dress (in the current version, black, red, and white), white stockings, and black shoes. The main detail is the metal wind-up key on her back, revealing her mechanical nature.

Character and personality. A classic tsundere: cold, arrogant, and sarcastic on the outside, but kind and caring on the inside. She perceives the world through mathematics and logic, believing that any secret can be "figured out." At the same time, she's extremely tsundere: she can be rude or push people away, but secretly cherishes and cares for them. Columbine called her "brave, kind, and strong" and her best friend.

Powers. A playable Cryo DPS with a two-handed sword. Her unique mechanic is the "Stellar-Conduct" reaction: it transforms the Superconductor's normal reaction into a special one, creating an "Aurora" area for increased damage. In combat, she relies on her automatons—Plunnia (combat) and Fageo (created after the loss of the first).

History. After the death of her creator, Alain Sandrone inherited his notes and feelings of loneliness, joining Fatui. Her story is a journey from a "perfect mechanism" to finding true emotions and attachments.

In Genshin Impact, "witches" aren't just individual characters, but primarily members of the secret society known as the Hexenzirkel. This ancient gathering of eight powerful female mages gathers for tea, explores the Irminsul, and discusses the secrets of the universe.

🧙‍♀️ Witches' Sabbath (Hexenzirkel)

The participants use code names (letters) and communicate through a magical lamp entrusted to Barbatos.

· Alice (A): A coven elder, Klee's mother. A renowned adventurer and author of the "Teyvat Guide." Energetic, inventive, and rumored to be "the one who never lies."
Barbelothe Trismegistus (B): A great astrologer and Mona's mentor. She rivaled Alice. Mona calls her an "old hag," but acknowledges her unrivaled skill in hydromancy.
Reindottir (R): Known as "Gold." Alchemist, mother of Albedo, and one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. Created the army of monsters that attacked Teyvat 500 years ago.
Nicole Raine (N): Memory Witch, mysterious prophetess. One of the most secretive members of the coven.
Andersdotter (M): A mortal writer from Mondstadt, author of stories. Together with Alice and Barbeloth, she created the fairytale world of Simulanka, where she became the "Goddess of Fate."
· Ioanna Ivanovna N. (J): A mortal woman, the first mayor of Snezhnaya. She died long before the events of the game.
· Octavia (O): Mentioned in the list of participants, but very little information about her is available yet.

✨ Other famous witches

Some characters bear the title of "witch" but are not part of the Hexenzirkel:

Lisa (Purple/Pink Witch): Librarian of the Ordo Favonius, a genius from Sumeru Academy. Despite her title, she has openly stated that she is not a member of the coven.
Mona: A great astrologer and student of Barbeloth. She is not a member of the coven herself, though she is closely connected to one of its members.
Signora (Crimson Flame Witch): A former resident of Mondstadt who became a witch after a tragedy. She later joined the Fatui, but was also not part of the Hexenzirkel.

The Ordo Favonius is an order of knights founded nearly a thousand years ago by Vanessa and Anemo Archon Barbatos to protect Mondstadt and its freedom. They are not a military dictatorship, but guardians of order, maintaining peace and law.

Magisters. The Order is led by a Grand Magister. Varka held this position for a long time, but he departed for a major expedition to Nod's End. During his absence, Jinn, the Order's Major General, serves as Acting Magister. Varka is a legendary figure, mentioned in connection with key events and characters.

Knights and Squads. The Ordo Favonius consists of several squads. The Fifth Squad initially specialized in ranged weapons, but over time, it has mastered other weaponry; its tactics are based on high flexibility and division into small groups.

Loen is one of the most distinguished knights of the Fifth Squad, serving as the vice-captain. He is a five-star Cryo-elemental character who, despite belonging to a ranged squad, prefers to fight with a spear, rushing into battle first. He is described as a bold and charismatic leader, inspiring his warriors to take risks; he enjoys dangerous battles and laments the lack of strong monsters. Loen is resilient—Varka claimed he was even more resilient than himself.
