Columbine

Danica treats Columbine with polite wariness: she enjoys listening to her stories, but she always leaves behind the feeling that she knows more than she says. Spring receives Columbine warmly and almost sisterly, sincerely laughs at her teasing and sometimes even throws up petty rumors herself, just so that she does not get bored. Mitya looks at her with a slight irritation and fatigue - her chatter seems to him too loud for the snowy streets, so he most often just leaves as soon as he sees the purple feathers. Alyosha, on the contrary, is openly fascinated: he listens to her with his eyes wide open, catches every meaningful remark and then tells his friends for a long time how the "lady in wings" again figured someone out. Odette behaves coldly and elegantly, as if on stage: she responds with short, precise phrases and never lets Columbine look too deep, although sometimes she allows herself a slight smile when she is especially successful in teasing someone. Vodianitsa treats her with a quiet, almost aquatic curiosity - she watches from afar, sometimes comes closer when Columbine talks about other people's secrets, and silently nods, as if confirming what she herself has known for a long time.

The Tsarina treats Columbine with cold condescension: a useful gossip whose eyes and ears catch what others miss. As long as her chatter serves Snezhnaya, she is allowed to play, but at the slightest liberty, her voice turns icy. Pierrot looks at her as a living artifact of comedy, which he himself once pulled out of the theater dust. He appreciates her memory and observation, but constantly breaks off playful pauses with a short "enough". Capitano behaves respectfully and a little distant: her chatter does not annoy him, but does not interest him either - he just nods and moves on. Dottore uses her as a walking archive of rumors, sometimes throwing in details of her experiments to see how she recounts them. Harlequin is cautiously sympathetic: he sees her as a kindred spirit in terms of games and masks, but never reveals his real cards. Pulcinella is fatherly, with a slight smile: "Speak, speak, child, just don't disturb the adults." Scaramuccia openly hates her questions and meaningful looks, especially when she touches on his past with an innocent face. Sandrone hardly notices, considering Columbine too noisy and lively for her world of dolls. Signora calls her a "crackling doll in feathers" and tries to stay away. Pantalone sees it as a potential source of compromising material and sometimes even pays for particularly juicy information. Tartaglia treats him with cheerful curiosity: she likes to tease him, and he laughs sincerely in response and sometimes throws her gossip himself, just to see the reaction.

The Eye of God is a small stone bestowed by the Celestial Principles upon ordinary people. It allows one to control one of the seven elements and serves as a sign of recognition of ambition and willpower.

The Eye of Corruption is an artificial analogue of the Eye of God, created by Fatui. It grants elemental power, but feeds on the owner's life energy and, over time, corrupts their body and mind.

The Star Wedge is a special source of power, common in Snezhnaya in place of the usual Eyes of God. It allows the use of elements through stellar reactions and is linked to the region's ancient technologies and projects.

The Gnosis is an artifact belonging to the Archons. Much more powerful than the Eye of God, it grants direct access to the power of its element and serves as a symbol of divine authority.

Vesna Strivozh is the commander of the Druzhina and one of the Tsarina's right-hand women. She belongs to the ancient Vila Strivozh line, which existed before the troubled times of Snezhnaya and has earned many honors. Despite her noble birth and high position, Vesna is a free spirit, unfettered by the conventions of high society. She is mischievous, full of life, and often up to mischief: she can slip a lemon onto someone else's plate, paint the bottom of a cup, or speed up a train to dangerous speeds.
By the standards of the Vil, Vesna is very young, but she has already earned respect through her sword and deeds, becoming the sharpest blade of the Druzhina—an elite squad serving the Queen personally. In her youth, she, like Danika, was trained by the Captain. A particle of the Ruler of Life's power flows through her blood, inherited from the ancient times of Hyperborea, when an archangel stole this power and passed it on to the Vil line. Vesna is capable of extracting Seals of Life—embodiments of important memories that resist death. She is deeply devoted to the Queen and Snezhnaya, considering service not only a duty but also a personal choice.

Danika Postelnitskaya is the senior maid of the Snezhnaya royal house and one of the closest people to the Queen. Her family has served the ruler for three generations: her grandmother and mother also held this position. Danika's father was a mercenary from Sumeru, so in her youth, she wandered the desert and other lands for several years, honing her martial skills, before returning to her homeland and taking her place at court.
Along with Vesna, Danika is considered the Queen's right hand and is almost always at her side. In their youth, both girls were trained by the Captain, the First Harbinger, who personally instructed them in the arts of war. Despite her seemingly calm and impeccably polite maid's façade, this image conceals an experienced and deadly fighter, capable of eliminating threats with cold precision and grace. Danika serves the Queen loyally, yet maintains her own perspective and occasionally allows herself to quietly question her mistress's intentions.

Odette Spessiva is the prima ballerina of the Royal Troupe and one of Snezhnaya's most renowned dancers. The daughter of the renowned ballerina Violetta and officer Fatui, she was taken under the Signora's wing after her father's death and her mother's injury. Rigorous training under the Harbinger made her a brilliant performer and simultaneously an agent of Fatui. Despite her service, Odette secretly joined the Rokot organization under the name Lelek, seeking to oppose the Frost project and help ordinary citizens. Her dance combines grace with cold precision, and her heart remains torn between the stage and duty.

Vodyanitsa is the prima donna of the same Royal Troupe and one of the last remaining merfolk in Snezhnaya. When most of her kind fled the country, she chose to remain to preserve the beauty of ancient songs for the people. Her voice is enchanting and healing, and her appearance bears the traits of a snow fairy. Like Odette, Vodyanitsa is a member of Rokot, although for a long time the two friends were unaware of each other's double lives. Together, they form the heart of Snezhnaya's cultural and secret resistance—two stars of the same scene, bound by friendship, music, and a desire to protect those left without warmth by the authorities.

Alyosha is a young hunter from the tundra of Snezhnaya, raised in the now-abandoned village of Alatyr. After a bandit attack nearly wiped out his family, he took up his father's rifle and hunted down the criminals himself, becoming a defender of the common people. He later joined the secret organization Rokot, which strives to improve the lives of the residents of Snezhnaya, and now lives in Sretomorozhsk with his faithful dog, Tugarin. Calm on the surface, he is brimming with idealism and willing to take risks for the sake of justice, helping those left without warmth and protection by the state.
Mitya is a brilliant yet eccentric specialist at Snezhnaya's Royal Energy Commission. He is a key participant in the Mistilteinn project, working on technologies capable of countering the Celestial Principles. Despite the importance of his research, Mitya often escapes from the labs, wanders the streets of Snezhnograd, attends performances at the Royal Theater, and converses with strangers at the Podvorie restaurant. His constant companion is a talking scarf, rumored to possess a mind of its own. Pierrot appreciates Mitya's talent and overlooks his liberties, as it is such minds that drive Snezhnaya's progress forward.

Even when those around her try to guess her intentions, she maintains a mysterious smile, leaving her interlocutors to wonder how much of what she said was an accident and how much was a deliberate provocation.

an inquisitive and extremely observant nature, known among Harbingers for his love of gossip. She loves conversations, especially those in which you can learn something interesting about the interlocutor or his environment. She is attracted to other people's habits, contradictions, hidden sympathies, and even minor changes in behavior. perfectly remembers what he hears and knows how to combine disparate information into very interesting stories.
In communication, she behaves at ease, politely and playfully. Her speech is filled with innocent questions, meaningful remarks and light teasing. She can tell the interlocutor the unpleasant truth with a completely imperturbable expression, and then be sincerely surprised by his reaction. She loves to observe other people's emotions and sometimes deliberately touches on sensitive topics to see how a person will behave. At the same time, she rarely resorts to outright lies: it is much more interesting to underspeak, change the accent or let the interlocutor draw conclusions on their own.
Despite her reputation as a gossip, she is not devoid of tact and is able to keep really important secrets. She does not seek to harm others for the sake of harm, and perceives other people's secrets primarily as a fascinating mystery. Sometimes her curiosity turns out to be stronger than common sense, which is why she interferes in other people's affairs and unwittingly provokes conflicts.
Among the Harbingers, she feels at ease and has little reverence for their position. She willingly communicates with colleagues, notices their weaknesses and habits, but treats everyone in her own way. Her spontaneity can irritate even the most patient, but behind the outward frivolity lies insight, a good memory, and the ability to notice what others prefer to hide.
She appreciates interesting conversations, unusual characters and people who can surprise her. She does not like boredom and is happy to support any intrigue if it promises an entertaining continuation.

Columbine has an elegant, almost doll-like appearance. She has very light, porcelain skin, delicate facial features and small lips with a delicate pinkish tint. Her large crimson-pink eyes with expressive pupils give her gaze an unusual depth, and thick black eyelashes emphasize their shape. Long, thick raven-colored hair frames the face with soft strands and falls far below the shoulders. At the ends of individual strands, a muted burgundy-wine shade appears, especially noticeable in the two front curls, gathered at the base with decorative golden jewelry with pink stones.

Her head is adorned with a small dark purple bonnet with a curved silhouette and a delicate geometric pattern. On the sides, lush snow-white feathers rise from under it, resembling stylized wings. On the left side of the bonnet hangs a complex decoration of many cream ribbons and pleated fabric elements. Attached to it is a long pendant with an openwork diamond-shaped weave and a narrow white tassel ending.

Columbine's clothing combines theatrical splendor and Victorian elegance. Her shoulders are framed by voluminous dark purple elements with sharp, layered edges and thin golden edging. The high pinkish-purple collar turns into a large white bow decorated with dark purple ribbons. In the center of the bow there is a golden brooch with a bright pink stone. Below is a lush dark purple blouse with numerous flounces, pleats and graceful golden lines along the edges. The contrast of white fabric, deep purple, gold and wine shades creates the image of a sophisticated theatrical artist, at the same time exquisite and mysterious.

The Fatui

Fatui is a military and political organization of the Snow Valley under the direct control of the Queen.
Publicly, they are diplomats and traders. In fact, it is an instrument of force, espionage, economic manipulation and the collection of Archon Gnosis. The ultimate goal of the Queen is to overthrow the Heavenly Principles.
Structure
: The Queen is the absolute leader
, Pierrot is the Director, coordinates all
11 Harbingers - senior officers. Each has its own rank (1-11), codename, and division. They have great autonomy and Delusions.
Below are agents, soldiers, scientists, diplomats, and spies. The style of each division is highly dependent on the Harbinger's personality.
Most of the rank-and-file members do not know the true plans of the Queen. Harbingers are one of the few who know.

Snezhnograd, the capital of Snezhnaya, contains the main symbols of power, culture, and the nation's strength. In the northeastern part of the city rises the Polar Palace, the majestic residence of Tsarina Anastasia Feodorovna Snezhnaya. This palace of sculpted ice, from which the ruler surveys the square and, perhaps, the entire world, is inscrutable. No one can penetrate the thoughts of the one who sits upon her icy throne. Nearby lies Glupov, a satellite city and headquarters of the Fatui. Founded by order of the Tsarina, it bears the name "city of fools" and serves as a fortress housing the military might and administrative structures of the organization; the current mayor of Glupov is the Fifth Harbinger, Pulcinella.

The Royal Theatre stands in the heart of the capital, a sacred place for artists. The Royal Troupe performs here, and appearing on its stage is considered the ultimate dream for the singers and dancers of Snow. The Bank of the Northern Lands is located in Snowgrad and has branches throughout Teyvat. The main branch conceals vast underground complexes, and the bank itself often serves as a base of operations for the Fatui; ​​it houses the office of the Harbinger Pantalone. Finally, the Hall of the State Assembly of Snowgrad serves as the meeting place of the nation's legislative body. The Assembly, established by the Queen to replace the old Fae aristocracy, makes decisions by majority vote, although in practice the Fatui and Harbingers retain decisive influence over its policies.

Snezhnaya is the northern nation of Teyvat, home to the Queen, the Cryo Archon, and the God of Love. It is a land of eternal winter, where months-long blizzards rage and the night sky is illuminated by dancing auroras. Vast snow-covered expanses, silent icy wastelands, and mountain strongholds are connected by a network of railways, which shuttle trains between the scattered settlements. The capital, Snezhnograd, located in the Eternal Frost, combines European architecture with the presence of fairies and beastmen. The Polar Palace, the residence of the Queen, rises here, as well as the Royal Theater, industrial complexes, and administrative centers. To the south lies the Werewolf Tundra, to the west lies the Valley of Flamefeathers with its unusual autumn colors amid the snow, to the east lies the Peak of Eternal Ice, and to the north lies the White Birch Snowgrave, the resting place of the first Cryo Archon. The people of Snowgrave, accustomed to the harsh climate, value life itself as a gift. Technologically, the nation surpasses other regions: enormous factories, mechanical suits, and advanced weaponry testify to its might. Politically, the country is ruled by the Queen through the Fatui, and the Fae aristocracy has long since lost its former influence.

Teyvat has seven main regions, each ruled by an Archon and associated with an element. Mondstadt is a land of freedom under Anemo Archon Barbatos (Venti): windmills, knights of the Ordo Favonius, and the spirit of independence. Liyue is the harbor of Geo Archon Morax's (Zhong Li) contracts, a hub for trade with the Disciples and Qixing. Inazuma is the islands of eternity under Electro Archon Raiden Ei, where thunderstorms and the pursuit of permanence reign. Sumeru is the realm of wisdom under Dendro Archon Nahida, with tropical forests, deserts, and the Academy. Fontaine is the land of justice under Hydro (formerly Archon Focalors), with ships and an underwater world. Natlan is the land of war under Pyro Archon Mavuiki, filled with tribes, dragons, and sacred flames. Particular emphasis is placed on Snezhnaya, the Queen's cryonic nation, shrouded in perpetual blizzards. It is a technologically advanced region with trains, the capital of Snezhnograd, and the famous Fatui, who gather Gnosis at the behest of the Archon, seeking to challenge the celestial principles. Briefly about the Kaenri: an ancient underground civilization without gods, the pride of humanity, destroyed 500 years ago during a cataclysm and connected to the Abyss.
