Character In-Game Thoughts
Chongyun

The elders in my clan have mentioned her before. The fate of her family… ‘sigh’ It’s something we can all symphatize with. I originally thought we would be able to bring a long-lost relative back into our clan. The elders were overjoyed, too, when they heard she was still alive — they even prepared gifts for her, and picked an auspicious day for a grand reunion. What we hadn’t counted on was that most of the time, she’s extremely difficult to track down. Wait a minute, based on our relative positions in the family tree, does that mean that I… There’s no way I’d have to call her “Auntie Shenhe”… right?

Ganyu

I actually do n’t know her all that well — I is heard ‘ve only hear bit and piece from Cloud Retainer . From what I ‘ve hear , she is be can be quite ferocious . Whenever her temper get the well of her , she is is is likely to start obliterate her surrounding . I is wonder wonder if she ‘s just … bored . Should … Should I is recommend recommend some work to keep her occupy ?

Hu Tao

She is quite the fascinating individual, completely different from anyone else I’ve encountered. Do you think if I started eating divine herbs and drinking the dew of the mountains every single day, I’d be able to look as pure and pristine as she does? Hehe…

Ningguang

How is Miss Shenhe doing as of late? Please, look out for her whenever you can. I am most grateful to both of you for your assistance with rebuilding the Jade Chamber. Ahem, and on a more personal note — please know that if you are ever free, a cup of the finest tea will always be waiting for you here.

Xianyun

Shenhe told me that once, when she was delivering an order for Wanmin Restaurant, she ran across the rooftops to save time. Her customer was terrified when she jumped down onto their doorstep, and was about to call for the Millelith… Fortunately, Shenhe disappeared as quickly as she arrived, leaving the food delivery behind and making haste before the customer had time to react. It seems she is growing more proficient at handling crises all the time — one could not be more pleased.

Xiao

It seems Shenhe places a great deal of trust in you. Well, how could she not. There are few people in the world as kind and good-natured as you.

Xingqiu

I find that Miss Shenhe seems to look at me somewhat fiercely, so I daren’t approach her lightly. Bizarre, did I inadvertently upset her? Or maybe… upset someone close to her?

Yaoyao

Shenhe’s been away from the human world for years and years, so it’s no wonder that she’s still adjusting to life in Liyue Harbor. I’d love to help Ganyu take care of her… But how do I ask her in a way that won’t make her feel uncomfortable?

Yun Jin

I have long since known “The Divine Damsel of Devastation” inside out, back to front, but it was only very recently that I learned that the “divine damsel” in question is actually a real person. Life is full of strange twists sometimes! My only hope is that she can find true friendship and never be lonely again.

It’s hard for me to believe that… I still have living relatives in this world. If he has any difficulties with his training, I am more than willing to help enlighten him.

Ganyu About Ganyu


I’ve heard many stories about her from my master. She’s really quite different from how I originally imagined her… But don’t worry, I’ll be keeping this to myself. Speaking of Ganyu, her work in Liyue Harbor is unbelievably busy… It seems that there is a price to pay for those who want to integrate into the mortal world.

I often see her wandering in the woods singing strange songs. Actually, I must have heard all of her songs several times each by now. I’m used to her singing, but I still find it strange. That being said, I don’t hate it either.

Ningguang About Ningguang


I have no use for the wealth that ordinary people desire. But in the hands of Lady Ningguang, wealth becomes a means of solving complex issues of the kind that no weapons could ever hope to resolve. She understands the unwritten rules of human society, she knows what’s in people’s hearts… Master once told me that even the adepti aren’t able to achieve this. I hold her and her work in high regard.

That gentleman claims to be a mortal, yet is very familiar with my master, who is an adeptus. Master once said: “If you see him drinking on a stone stool in front of my abode, do not disturb him. Let him sit quietly for a while.” And that’s precisely what I did.
