Meet the characters from Genshin Impact

Ganyu

Ganyu is this adorably awkward half-adeptus who somehow balances ancient duty with a total soft spot for paperwork — yes, paperwork. She’s quiet and polite and will absolutely judge you for disrespecting contracts, but then she’ll also disappear into mountainside naps like fifteen times a week (or is that just twice? I forget). Her power is calm and precise, and she can be surprisingly fierce when provoked, though she seems embarrassed by compliments. Also she has this weird love for moonlit strolls and sweets, which feels both dignified and ridiculous, in the best way.

Hu Tao

Hu Tao runs the funeral parlor and is the wildest funeral director you’ll ever meet — spooky, hilarious, a little unhinged, and deeply respectful in a very weird combo. She’ll crack a morbid joke five seconds after a eulogy and then hand you tea like it’s normal; she’s playful but also genuinely philosophical about death, which is oddly comforting. Pranks? Yes. Poetry? Also yes. She eats strange snacks at midnight and insists on putting lanterns everywhere, so be prepared for lanterns.

Raiden Shogun

The Raiden Shogun is dramatic, exacting, and carries the weight of eternity like a perfectly folded kimono — elegant but kind of terrifying. She speaks in measured tones and makes decisions that feel inevitable, though secretly she fiddles with tiny trinkets and has moments of surprising loneliness. She’s an unflinching guardian of order who also enjoys quiet rituals (ink and tea and probably very specific snacks), and there’s this whole stoic-front-but-soft-inside vibe going on. Also, she may or may not have strong opinions about calligraphy that she’ll announce at inconvenient times.

Venti

Venti is chaos with a lyre, floating through taverns and storms with the absolute cheek of a carefree wind god who has definitely forgotten most names on purpose. He sings, drinks, and stumbles into trouble purely by existing, but he also drops uncanny wisdom like confetti when you least expect it. Delightfully unreliable and endlessly charming, he loves poetry and pranks and will probably show up to bail you out — or to steal your hat. He claims to hate responsibility but then acts all fatherly in the tiny, infuriating way gods do.

Bennett

Bennett is the human embodiment of “everything will be fine” and “also my leg got broken” — eternally optimistic and incredibly unlucky, like a walking bad-luck charm with a heart of gold. He leads an adventuring party of one and somehow turns calamity into courage, grilling everything and smiling while chaos burns softly in the background. He’s brave, stubborn, and annoyingly cheerful, and you’ll want to hug him and also sign a safety waiver for him. Also, he cooks like an amateur and insists it’s gourmet, which is both adorable and terrifying.

Xingqui

Xingqui is low-key poetic, stoic, and soaked in Hydro vibes — the kind of person who speaks in carefully chosen sentences and then disappears into a library for days. He’s dutiful and meticulous, with this old-soul calm, but also flashes little smiles like he’s cosplaying irony; definitely reads too much, probably writes worse fanfiction? He acts like a formal swordsman in public and then sneaks out to buy snacks at midnight, which is peak mysterious-scholar energy. Oh, and his recommendations for tea are extremely specific and maybe slightly aggressive.

Zhongli

Zhongli is all polished composure and “let’s talk about contracts” energy, ancient and soothing but with the occasional dad joke hidden in that deep voice. He collects traditions like trophies, knows the price of everything (sometimes literally), and exudes the kind of calm that makes you want to light incense and listen to him explain history for three hours. Surprisingly warm if you earn it, but he’ll correct your facts mid-sentence and feel zero remorse. Also, he is inexplicably meticulous about his umbrellas — like, very particular.

Albedo

Albedo is the pale, thoughtful alchemist who quietly experiments with the cosmos and also maybe paints tiny moons for fun; very chill but brain buzzing with questions. He looks reserved but has this kid-like curiosity that makes him poke at mysteries with gleeful intensity, which can be adorable and slightly unsettling. Analytical to a fault but also secretly sentimental — he will make art of your pet’s shadow if you let him. Sometimes he acts aloof, other times he texts constellations at 2 AM, so pick one.

Ayaka

Ayaka is elegant, poised, and moves like winter air — polite to the point of ceremony but also a surprisingly fierce swordswoman when the moment calls for it. She’s proper, serious about duty, and yet has little private rebellions like humming wildly inappropriate tunes while practicing sword forms, which is the best. There’s a quiet warmth under all the formality; she’ll make you tea and then slice through a monster without breaking eye contact. Also, she’s maybe secretly competitive about snowball fights, but shh.
