dottore 8 and 18 || genshin

The eighteen-year-old Dottore segment is more impulsive and daring than the "main" Dottore: he displays a stronger sense of rebellion and a thirst to prove his genius. He's obsessed with experimentation, but he's yet to conceal his cruelty behind cold logic—he acts assertively, sometimes recklessly.

His appearance retains Dottore's signature features (sharp silhouettes, medical and mechanical details in his clothing), but his style is slightly more casual, as if emphasizing his independence. His gaze is sharp, his movements impetuous—he still possesses a youthful energy that hasn't yet been subjugated by an iron will.

Character
The eight-year-old Dottore segment is an inquisitive and stubborn child: he needs to check everything himself, he asks hundreds of questions, and gets angry if he's simply told "no." The cold, calculating nature of the adult Dottore already shows through: he quickly notices others' weaknesses and can exploit them, but he does so not out of malice, but as an "experiment." At the same time, he's easily offended, reacts harshly to ridicule, and strives to prove that he's smarter than everyone else.

Appearance
He looks like an ordinary boy of about eight: short, thin, with tousled hair. His clothes resemble a simplified version of Dottore's—strict cut, dark colors, but with childish details (short sleeves, overly long hems). His gaze is wary, his movements are jerky, as if he's always in a hurry.

Dottore's segments in Genshin Impact are copies of Dottore himself (aka Zandik), created by him through experiments.

Each segment isn't just a clone, but an incarnation of Dottore at a specific point in his life: they have different ages, speech patterns, and personality nuances, yet each sincerely considers themselves the "real" Dottore. The segments allow him to simultaneously conduct research in different locations and continue his experiments. In Sumeru's story, Dottore destroyed his segments in exchange for Dendro and Electro Gnosis.

In Genshin Impact, Dottore (Zandik) has several segments—independent versions of himself at different ages. There's no definitive list of all the segments in the game, but the key ones are known:

The 8-year-old segment, the child, reflects Dottore's early years, his first scientific interests and curiosity without moral constraints.
18 years old – the period of study at Sumeru Academy: ambitious, daring, already ready to break the rules for the sake of knowledge.
The age of 25 is a time when experiments become increasingly radical; ruthlessness in the name of "progress" becomes more pronounced.
The 35-year-old (Omega Build) is the most recognizable version: it is this version that appears most frequently in the story and as a boss; cold, calculating, and confident in the superiority of science over morality.
The 45-year-old is more mature and cynical, views other segments as “past mistakes,” and tends to devalue younger versions of themselves.
The 65-year-old is the elderly segment, sporting a raven-shaped mask and a cane; the most "old-fashioned" in their methods, but no less dangerous; they emphasize that knowledge is more important than lifespan.
Each segment considers itself a true Dottore and has its own character, although all share his obsession with science and willingness to go to extremes.

Each segment isn't just a clone, but an embodiment of Dottore at a specific point in his life: they differ in age, speech patterns, and character nuances, yet each sincerely considers themselves the "real" Dottore. The segments allow him to simultaneously conduct research in different locations and never stop experimenting.

Aranar are forest guardian spirits from Sumeru in Genshin Impact, resembling small plant-like creatures with leaves and "propellers" on their heads.

They live in Vanarana (including the dream dimension) and are closely connected to nature and Dendro energy. When in danger, they can transform into seeds and also use the power of memories to awaken a special magic (Ararakalari).

Usually invisible to adults and interacting primarily with children, they are known from the "Aranyaka" quest chain. Each Aranara has its own melody, which can be played on the Ancient Lyre to aid the spirit or activate mechanisms.

In Genshin Impact, Snowy is a harsh northern region, perpetually bound by ice and blizzards. It is ruled by the Cryo Archon Queen, and the region's main power is the Fatui organization and its Harbingers.

Snezhnaya's aesthetics reflect motifs of Russian culture and 19th-century imperial aesthetics, yet the region is noticeably technologically advanced compared to other lands of Teyvat, boasting railways, sophisticated equipment, and advanced weaponry.

The climate is extremely harsh: the cold is not just a backdrop, but part of the exploration mechanics. The atmosphere is tense and majestic: the state's power is built on discipline, military might, and the Queen's grand designs.

Mondstadt is a city of freedom under the patronage of the Anemo Archon; a light, airy style, many mountains and vineyards, an atmosphere of old Europe.
Liyue is a wealthy port region ruled by the Geo Archon; its rugged mountains, pagodas, and spirit of trade and stability are inspired by China.
Inazuma is an archipelago ruled by the Electro Archon; strict regulations, volcanoes, bamboo groves, and the aesthetics of feudal Japan.
Sumeru is a land of wisdom and nature; dense jungle, ancient ruins, an academy, and Middle Eastern and South Asian motifs. Fontaine is a state of water and technology; graceful canals, machinery, courts, and art, inspired by 19th-century France.
Natlan is a fiery region with volcanoes and tribes; energy, rituals, passion, and inspiration from Mesoamerican cultures.
Snezhnaya is an icy kingdom, home to the Fatui; ​​harsh climate, military might, cold aesthetics.
