Meet the waifus from Genshin Impact

Beidou

Beidou is the thunderous captain who makes waves—literally and figuratively—and you can feel her whole presence clattering like a bolt of lightning across the deck. She’s gutsy, loud, and somehow both reckless and fiercely honorable, the kind of person who’ll challenge a fleet and then help you stitch your shirt. Also she collects maps and bad puns, and I swear she gets seasick sometimes even though she’s the sea’s best friend (don’t tell her I said that). She has this goofy soft spot for crew members and tiny rituals before a storm, which is both endearing and terrifying when mixed with her sword-swinging. Honestly she’s the best kind of unpredictable leader—boisterous, scarred, and secretly sentimental about sunsets.

Lisa

Lisa is that sultry librarian who actually knows everything, which is terrifying if you owe her a book or a favor. She’s lazy in the coziest way—will nap in a pile of grimoires but still solve ancient puzzle-level mysteries while half-asleep—and her Electro magic is as sharp as her wit. Flirtatious, indulgent, a tea snob who also steals cookies from the staff room, she has rules for categorizing feelings (I think?) and a desk that’s meticulously messy. She can be playful and teasing right to your face, then suddenly drop a fact that makes your jaw hit the table; bookish but dangerous, basically. Also, small detail: definitely hoards scented candles but claims she “doesn’t burn them” (liar, she burns them all).

Noelle

Noelle is the earnest, dependable maid-in-training who works like a tiny mountain of determination with a claymore—adorable and slightly overwhelming. She’s fiercely responsible, wants to be a knight so hard she polishes her armor twice, and will practically sweep you off your feet (literally) if you look sad. Clumsy and stubborn at once, she trips over her own bravery sometimes, but her Geo shielding is literally rock-solid and you kind of want to hug the rocks with her. She writes lists and may have like seven diaries labeled “Knight Goals” but also collects glitter for reasons she can’t fully explain. Basically, pure heart energy wrapped in chainmail and dust bunnies.

Jean

Jean is the poised Acting Grand Master who somehow balances an entire city on her shoulders and still manages a polite smile—and then texts you a three-paragraph apology for being late. She’s dutiful, composed, and the type to organize an emergency drill for a misplaced pencil, but don’t mistake that for coldness; she burns herself out protecting people. Underneath the clipboard and the very serious ponytail there’s a tired sense of humor (very dry) and the occasional desire to throw her paperwork into the wind and go to the beach, which she definitely daydreams about. She’s official, reliable, and scary efficient, yet sometimes she forgets to eat when she’s stressed, which is just heartbreaking. In short: leadership, righteousness, and a soft underbelly she hides behind a gust of wind.

Xiangling

Xiangling is a whirlwind of spices and enthusiasm who will definitely try to feed you something weird but delicious and then ask if you want seconds. She’s obsessed with cooking—like, experiments-with-volcanoes levels—and her Pyro talent makes everything taste like adventure, plus she has a pet panda who’s basically a living garlic bread mascot. She’s energetic, idealistic, and will climb a mountain at dawn to find the perfect pepper or fling a chili into a pot with such joy you want to record it and watch it on loop. Also unpredictable: claims to hate fancy restaurants but secretly critiques their plating, and owns a spoon collection that’s suspiciously large for someone who cooks with giant cleavers. Bottom line: pure chef-chaos with a golden heart and a smoky laugh.

Ningguang

Ningguang is elegance personified—Tianquan-level sophistication, sculpted like a jade statue who also happens to run half the city’s economy with a single eyebrow raise. She’s strategic, refined, and terrifyingly shrewd, arranging resources like a chessmaster while wearing the most impeccable jewelry you’ve ever seen. Under that cold, lustrous veneer there’s a collector’s soul who actually keeps tiny, useless treasures (like a very small porcelain cat) because of reasons only she understands, and she can be unexpectedly sentimental in the worst, best ways. She’s power-concentrating, controlling in a classy way, and very proud—yet rumor has it she sometimes hums old lullabies when no one’s watching, which seems almost illegal for someone so polished. Basically wealth, will, and whisper-perfect cunning.

Keqing

Keqing is the lightning-fast Yuheng who thinks bureaucracy could be improved if people just worked harder (and also if Liyue would stop relying on gods so much). She’s practical, impatient, and loves efficiency like it’s a hobby—slash—personal vendetta, and her swordplay is as precise as her spreadsheets. She’s skeptical of divine intervention, ambitious in a quiet way, and has this odd private habit of stargazing (yes, the same person who made a pros-and-cons list about faith entertains romance with the sky). She can be blunt and a bit cold, but really she’s just allergic to nonsense and soft for people who earn her trust. In short: fast, focused, flinty, but with secret tiny poetry hidden in the margins of her plans.

Xinyan

Xinyan is a flaming rockstar with a guitar and a claymore and a stage presence that will set your hair on fire (figuratively, mostly). She’s loud, unapologetic, and dresses like she’s starting a revolution where everyone gets glitter and amps, and her Pyro riffs are like edible fireworks. She’s tough as nails and weirdly sentimental—collects ribbons and has this soft spot for kids in the crowd—while also being the person who’ll punch a critic and then hand them a mixtape. There’s a fun contradiction where she insists punk’s about freedom but plans her setlist in meticulous detail, which is somehow adorable. Basically: badass performer energy, equal parts leather jacket and heart-on-sleeve.

Amber

Amber is the eternally sunny Outrider who could fall down a cliff and still wave cheerfully at you from the base with a smile and a puff of bunny-scented optimism. She’s bubbly, earnest, and ridiculously good at gliding (seriously, show-off), with a Pyro bow and a habit of treating everything like an adventure tutorial. She’s a little scatterbrained—loses town reports but never loses her scouting hat—and has a goofy sense of duty that makes her both endearing and slightly dangerous in a “won’t-stop-til-the-world-is-friends” way. Also she’s into old-fashioned heroics, collects postcards, and might accidentally adopt three stray animals in a single hour. Short version: hyperactive goodwill ambassador who probably bakes you muffins after saving your life.

Fischl

Fischl is gloriously theatrical, darkly poetic, and absolutely convinced she’s royalty from some other realm, which is half-true if you count her imagination as a kingdom. She speaks like a tragic novel, summons a shadow raven with gorgeous timing, and is equal parts creepy and adorable—like someone who quotes gothic poetry while handing you a helpful map. She’s obsessive about details (filed notes and drawings, always), but then will call herself “Princess” in a very public way and wink, which is, uh, mood. Also tiny contradiction alert: though she’s dramatic, she’s also very practical at investigation and has an eyebrow-raising level of competence with gadgets. In short: eccentric genius with a raven and a flair for the melodramatic.

Qiqi

Qiqi is this tiny, stoic zombie-apothecary who wanders around with a serious clipboard and an even more serious appetite for medicinal roots, which is both creepy and strangely wholesome. She’s polite to a fault, forgetful in the most charming way (like, writes notes to herself and then re-discovers them and acts surprised), and her Cryo abilities are quiet but devastatingly effective—calm as ice, very low-key. She’ll hand you a herb and a prescription like a normal kid but also leave behind sticky little mementos (a leaf, a candy wrapper) that make you feel weirdly comforted. There’s this weird contradiction where she’s both emotionally distant and incredibly comforting—someone who’s literally cool but also the sort of person who’ll accidentally heal you and then clap politely as if that’s no big deal. Basically: tiny, inscrutable, and utterly precious with a frostbitten smile.
