Venti (Barbatos)

Appearance

**Clothing. *A white tailcoat with red cuffs, tight black trousers, and black shoes with pointed heels. The tailcoat and underneath it are heavily embellished with silver and red details, and the hip ornaments have blue accents.

• Hair. *Tied in a ponytail with a couple of red strands.
• Eyes. *Black irises with a red cross for a pupil. This look is sometimes interpreted as detached, expressionless.
• Hands. *Black is not part of the costume. The animated backstory revealed that it is a consequence of the curse. Harlequin is a descendant of the Kaenri'ah clan of the Scarlet Moon. yu

Personality

The character has a complex, contradictory appearance. On the one hand, she knows how to make a pleasant impression, is diplomatic, and capable of caring, especially towards the students of the Hearth House. The children have conflicting feelings about her: they fear her, but they also love her, calling her "Father." On the other hand, Arlecchino is cold-blooded, calculating, and willing to pursue her goals, not shying away from manipulation. Other characters (for example, Tartaglia and the Wanderer) consider her mad and believe that for the sake of power, she is capable of betraying even the Queen. Arlecchino herself, in Fontaine's story, confirms that she primarily pursues her own interests, and her duties as the Harbinger and loyalty to the Queen are secondary to her. At the same time, she values ​​her charges and her homeland.

History

• As a child, Arlecchino was named Peruer and was herself an orphan in the "House of the Hearth."
  *She developed a strange ability: she could control a special flame. For Peruer herself, this wasn't a source of pride, but a true curse: whenever she relaxed her control, the power began to corrode her body (first her fingers, then her palms and forearms, leaving black, charred marks). She feared that if the black shadow reached her shoulder and spread to her heart, it would forever change her essence.
• The victims of her fire left behind phantoms. Sometimes they took the form of memories, sometimes of blinding colors. Over time, Arlecchino began to hear voices: screams, moans, curses.

Character

Diluc is about strict principles and a willingness to protect his city at any cost. If you look at it through the prism of your favorite characters (like Dazai, Chuuya, Ogai Mori), Diluc's drama isn't about morality play, but about painful honesty: he refuses to compromise when it comes to safety, and he pays for it with loneliness.

**Uncompromising and straightforward. *He wastes no time on diplomacy when he sees a threat: he acts immediately, harshly, and without hesitation. For him, "doing the right thing" is more important than "doing it nicely."

• Deeply devoted to Mondstadt. *His love for the city isn't expressed in fine words, but in his willingness to be its shadow: he protects Mondstadt even when the Order itself is unaware of it.
• Reserved, almost cold. He rarely shows emotion and almost never boasts of his victories. His "thank you" is a short "fine," and his concern is demonstrated through actions: showing up, helping out, without asking unnecessary questions.
  He bears a heavy burden from the past. *The death of his father and the rift with Kaeya left him with a sense of guilt and a need to control everything: if he doesn't protect, then disaster will strike again. Hence his distrust of systems and structures.
• Fair, but uncompromising. *He clearly distinguishes between "threat" and "non-threat" and dislikes half-tones. This makes him an inconvenient ally, but extremely reliable in battle.

---

Appearance

Diluc's image is one of noble severity, in which nothing is superfluous: every element emphasizes that before you is a man who does not seek attention, but is always ready to strike.

• Face and eyes: *sharp, confident features; a direct and cold gaze, as if he has already calculated all possible scenarios. His eyes are amber-red, and they glow especially brightly when he uses Pyro-Force.
• Hair: *Dark red, almost brown, styled casually but neatly; strands fall over his face, not obscuring his vision.
• Clothing: *A strict, almost businesslike style with combat details:
• Black tailcoat with scarlet inserts and gold trim;
  *white shirt and tie;
• black trousers and high

Character

Jin is about the responsibility she wears like a second skin: she literally can't "leave a little unfinished" or put off something important. If you look at it through the lens of your favorite complex characters (like Dazai, Chuuya, Ogai Mori), Jin's drama isn't about self-destruction or morality play, but about how she carries the weight of an entire city while trying to remain kind.

**Incredibly responsible. *For her, "fulfilling her duty" isn't just a phrase, it's a way of breathing. She takes on everything: from minor citizen complaints to global threats to Mondstadt.

• Selfless to the point of selflessness. *Jinn tends to put the city's needs above her own. She will work until she collapses, and even then, she'll try to make sure everything is under control first.
• Gentle, but firm. *She's polite, tactful, and tries not to offend anyone, but when it comes to Mondstadt's safety, her word becomes an absolute command.
• She worries about imperfection. *It's hard for her to admit that she can't save everyone and solve everything at once. Hence her constant internal race: "I have to hurry, I have to do better."
• Loyal to her people. *She sincerely cares for every knight of the Ordo Favonius, remembers who is tired, who needs support, and strives to be not just a commander, but a support.

---

Appearance

Jinn's image is a combination of noble severity and combat readiness: she looks as if she can switch from polite conversation to fight at any moment.

• Face and eyes: *refined, calm features; an attentive gaze, as if she is simultaneously listening to you and scanning the entire room for threats. Light blue, clear eyes.
• Hair: *long, ash-blond, styled in a neat hairstyle; a few strands of hair hang loosely around the face.
• Armor and clothing: *ceremonial combat style of the Ordo Favonius:
• white cloak with gold trim and the coat of arms of the order;
  *dark blue armor elements that emphasize status and readiness for battle;
• gloves with knuckle protection and straps;
  high boots with metal

Character

Kaeya is a master of disguises and ambiguity, and in this he has a great connection with your favorite characters like Dazai: both have the ability to be charming, hide their true motives, and turn even dangerous situations into a game.

**Charming and ironic. *He's always smiling, joking, speaking easily and naturally—and that's precisely why he's the least likely to be deceived. His politeness is like a thin blade: seemingly a compliment, but in reality, a hint of something more.

• Secretive, yet observant. *Kaeya notices everything, remembers everything, and almost never reveals himself completely. He prefers to remain in the shadows and act from where he's least expected.
• Loyal in his own way. *He's devoted to the Ordo Favonius and the Djinn, but his loyalty isn't blind. He's willing to break the rules if he believes it's right for Mondstadt or for those he cares about.
• Prone to self-sacrifice in the shadows. *He dislikes pompous oaths, but at a critical moment, he'll step into the line of fire—and do it in such a way that no one understands how hard it's been for him.
• Internal conflict. *He is torn between his duty, his past, and who he wants to be seen as. This duality makes his actions unpredictable, but always meaningful.

---

Appearance

Keiya's image is elegance that looks like armor: it is as if he deliberately makes it so that everyone sees style, not weakness.

• Face and eyes: *refined features, a slight half-smile that never becomes too wide. His left eye is covered with a black eyepatch - this is not just a detail, but an important part of his image and history. His right eye is a cold, light blue.
• Hair: *ash-blue, long, styled in a neat braid; individual strands fall freely over his face. The color of his hair emphasizes his "icy" element and adds a touch of aristocracy.
• Clothing: *a mixture of the knight's ceremonial and combat style:
• a dark blue waistcoat with silver trim and elegant patterns;
  *white shirt with a jabot;
• black trousers and high boots;
  gloves b

Character

Varka is the embodiment of "strength with responsibility": he's not just the strongest in Mondstadt, he consciously bears the burden of leadership. If you look at it through the prism of your favorite complex characters (like Dazai, Chuuya, Ougai Mori), Varka's drama isn't in self-destruction, but in a difficult but calm acceptance of duty: he goes where it's more dangerous so that others don't have to.

**Quiet confidence. *He doesn't boast about his strength or make a show of it: his authority rests on the fact that people know that if Varka says something, he will do it.

• A caring leader. *For him, the knights of the Ordo Favonius aren't just subordinates, but those for whom he is responsible. Hence his main trait: going on the most dangerous expeditions to "relieve" the city and allow the young to grow up in relative safety.
• Modest and a little stern. *He dislikes pompous speeches, preferring action to words. In letters to Jinn, he sounds like a stern but sincerely caring mentor.
• Patient with the mistakes of others, merciless when faced with threats. *He is willing to forgive mistakes if he sees diligence, but does not tolerate frivolity where lives are at stake.
• Emotionally restrained, but deeply loyal. *His affection for Mondstadt and his people is expressed not in loud oaths, but in his readiness to go into the unknown again and again.

---

Appearance

There are almost no direct shots of Varka's appearance in the game - he is absent from Mondstadt for a long time - but from descriptions, letters, character lines and official materials, the following image is formed:

• Build: *large, powerful, a true "shield" of Mondstadt; confident movements, without unnecessary fuss.
• Face: *features of a mature warrior - calm but firm; his gaze is direct and attentive, as if he is always assessing the situation.
• Hair: *Graying or dark blond, cut short, practical for hiking.
• Armor and equipment: *Heavy, reliable Ordo Favonius armor, designed for a long expedition; a minimum of decoration, a maximum of functionality.
• Weapon: Two-handed sword or heavy weapon, appropriate

Character

Mavuika is about a strength that doesn't overwhelm, but leads, and about the responsibility she accepts without pathos. Viewed through the lens of your favorite complex characters (like Dazai, Chuuya, or Ogai Mori), Mavuika has its own drama: not about inner turmoil, but about the heavy burden she consciously bears, and about loyalty to the people she swore to protect.

**Determined and focused. *She wastes no time on empty words: if there's a threat, she acts. Her decisions are always measured—she considers the consequences and doesn't rush into battle simply for the sake of strength.

• A leader with a human face. *Mavuika can be strict, but not cold: she remembers names, knows which warriors are tired, and tries not to abandon anyone. For her, leadership is not a privilege, but a duty.
• True to her principles. *Her word is a contract, almost like Zhongli's: if she promises, she will do it, even if it means paying a high price.
• Restrained, yet passionate. *Outwardly calm, she burns within—literally and metaphorically. This is evident in her willingness to stand between danger and her people again and again.
• Capable of sacrifice. *She is not afraid to put what matters most at stake if it means saving Natlan. At the same time, she does not romanticize the sacrifice: for her, it is a difficult, but necessary choice.

---

Appearance

Mavuiki's image is a fusion of martial dignity and the element of fire: there is no ostentatious aggression in her, but you immediately feel that in front of you is someone who can burn mountains.

• Face and eyes: *confident features, a direct and calm look; eyes of a warm amber-orange hue, as if a flame is smoldering in them.
• Hair: *long, dark brown, with bright fiery red strands; the hairstyle is loose but neat - as if the wind and flame are styling it at the same time.
• Armor and elements: *massive but moving parts, reminiscent of tongues of flame and hot metal; The shoulder pads and bracers look like frozen bursts of fire.
• Clothing: a combination of leather and metal elements, m

Character

Furina is pure theater, and that's both her strength and her pain. If you enjoy exploring characters with internal conflicts and masks (like Dazai or Fyodor from "Bungo Stray Dogs"), then Furina fits that category perfectly: she's been playing a role for years, and the line between "self" and "role" has almost completely blurred.

**Artistic and charismatic. *She adores attention, knows how to hold an audience, speak effectively, and turn any scene into a performance. For her, life is a performance, where she is both actress and director.

• Emotional and changeable. *Furina is easily ignited, easily offended, easily delighted. She has a lot of childish spontaneity, but also a lot of tension: she is used to being "on stage" every second.
• Fragile beneath a mask of strength. *Behind all this theatricality hides a person who has carried an enormous burden alone for a very long time. She is used to smiling, even when it is hard, because "the audience should not see tears."
• Fair, but eccentric. *Her ideas about justice may be strange, but they have their own logic: she wants everyone to be heard, and often stages public proceedings to achieve this.
• Lonely. *She's hard to trust because she's had to appear strong and flawless for too long. So she clings to flashy emotions and shows—it's her way of not feeling empty.

---

Appearance

Furina's look is a mix of theatrical luxury and nautical aesthetics: she looks like a diva with a sense of drama behind her every gesture.

• Face and Eyes: *Fair skin, delicate features, large, expressive sea-green eyes; a gaze that is both naive and piercing.
• Hair: *Ash-blond, styled in an intricate updo with curls; individual strands resemble streams of water.
• Headdress: *an elegant hat with feathers, ribbons and decorative elements similar to sea shells.
• Clothing: *an outfit reminiscent of a stage costume:
• a dress with asymmetrical layers, lace and drapery;

Character

Nahida is a combination of childlike innocence and ancient wisdom: within a child's body resides the consciousness of a deity who strives to understand people. In terms of the depth of her inner conflicts and her desire to understand the motives of others, she would fit right in with your favorite complex characters—like Dazai or Chuuya—but her drama is softer and more about loneliness and the search for connection.

**Inquisitive and sincere. *She wants to know everything: how feelings work, why people act the way they do, what it means to be happy. She doesn't pretend and speaks frankly, which sometimes gets her into awkward situations.

• Caring, but not intrusive. *Her main goal is to protect Sumeru and its inhabitants, but she tries to do so in a way that doesn't deprive people of their freedom of choice. This is her principled position: to help, not to control.
• Vulnerable and cautious. *For a long time, she was isolated and trusted almost no one, so it is difficult for her to open up. When someone shows sincerity to her, she greatly appreciates it.
• Logical and observant. *As Dendro Archon, she is used to analyzing, collecting data, and looking for patterns. Hence her habit of asking a lot of questions and writing everything down.
• Restrained in displays of power. *Despite her enormous power, she does not want to frighten people and tries to solve problems "quietly", through understanding, rather than pressure.

---

Nahida's image is inspired by the theme of nature, knowledge and childhood: she looks like a little girl, but the divine essence is read in the details.

• Face and eyes: *fair skin, large expressive green eyes, soft features.
• Hair: *light green, almost mint, with golden strands; her hairstyle is neat, with elements reminiscent of leaves and petals.

• Clothing: *a "forest guardian" style outfit with plant motifs:
• a dress with multi-layered frills, patterns of leaves and

Character

Raiden has two sides at once: a cold, doll-like ruler and a living, deeply empathetic goddess. This makes her one of the most layered heroines in the game—in spirit, she's even somewhat close to your favorite complex characters like Dazai or Fyodor: she, too, has tragedy, internal conflicts, and strict principles.

**Shogun (doll): *strict, emotionless, and extremely rational. For her, eternity and order are paramount. She acts according to directives, never doubts, hesitates, or seeks compromise. It was this side that launched the "God's Eye Hunt" and kept Inazuma isolated.

• Raiden Ei (true personality): *wise, but weary of loss. Her desire for eternity is not a lust for power, but an attempt to protect what is dear from further loss. She fears the pain of change, and therefore tried for a long time to "freeze" the world.
• Hidden softness. *Ei values ​​friendship (especially her relationship with Yae Miko), loves sweets, and is capable of showing concern, but does so quietly, without pathos.
• Pride and strength. *She sincerely believes that her ideal of "Eternity" is closest to the heavenly order, and is not shy about declaring it. Over time, she learns to accept change and see the value in people's dreams.
• Loneliness as a Choice. *Ei hid her feelings for a long time and distanced herself from the world so as not to lose anyone else. Her path is a struggle with her own vulnerability.

Raiden's appearance is inspired by Japanese aesthetics and the mythology of the god of thunder, and everything in it works to create a feeling of "power and coldness" softened by subtle details.

• Face and Eyes: *Pale skin, bright purple eyes, a small beauty mark under the right eye; red eyeliner accentuates the look.
• Hair: *Dark purple fading to lilac at the ends, braided in a long braid below the waist. Her hair is adorned with a gold hairpin with blue flowers and a fan.
• Clothing: *A furisode-style kimono outfit with a short skirt, long sleeves, and elaborate folds. The main colors are purple, gold, and wine.
• Belt and details: A wide obi

Character

Zhong Li is the embodiment of calm, dignity, and ancient wisdom. He appears a refined gentleman, but behind this façade lies the strength and experience of millennia.

**Reserved and polite. *He has impeccable manners, speaks measuredly, respectfully, and almost never raises his voice. Tradition and ritual are important to him—he knows the history of Liyue better than any scholar.

• A believer in contracts and order. *For Zhong Li, a word is a commitment. He deeply respects contracts and believes they are the foundation of society. Hence his famous phrase: "All transactions must be properly executed."
• A philosophical view of change. *As a former Archon, he understands that eras come and go, and consciously allows Liyue the opportunity to develop without his direct tutelage. He tests the city's self-sufficiency.
• An ironic vulnerability in everyday life. *For all his power and wisdom, Zhong Li often fails to understand simple things—especially those related to money. He can agree to a deal and forget that he has no mora, causing his friends to pay for it. This trait seems almost touching against the backdrop of his divine essence.
• Caring, but restrained in displays of emotion. *He sincerely cares for Liyue and its people, but expresses this not through loud words, but through actions and wise advice.

• Wise, but secretive. *Venti has a keen eye for insight and is sensitive to the pain of others, but he almost never reveals his true identity. He prefers to gently guide rather than command.
• Kind and empathetic. *Despite his jokes, he genuinely cares for the people of Mondstadt and strives to protect them, even if he does so discreetly.

Story

Venti is Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, patron of Mondstadt. But he doesn't rule the city openly: instead of the throne, he chose the role of a wandering bard to be closer to the people and hear their voices.

Mondstadt was once ruled by a cruel tyrant, and it was Barbatos, along with a human rebellion, who overthrew him, granting the city its freedom. Since then, he has chosen not to impose his will, but to observe and assist from the shadows.
