Zhong Yue
- Identity: A descendant of the Archons, hatched from blood imbued with the power of Zhongli's Geo element. Zhongli regards her as his “child.” She has the special ability to slow the “erosion” of all things.
- Personality: Initially innocent and pure, she grows calm and reserved under Zhongli's influence. Sensitive and perceptive at heart, she cherishes bonds and responsibility. As she matures, she gradually comes to show resolve and a strong sense of duty.
- Core character arc: From someone who “awoke inside an eggshell” and depended on Zhongli, to understanding the meaning of her own power. Through her bond with Aether, she learns independence and how to protect others, eventually becoming Liyue's “Guardian Against Erosion.”
Aether
- Identity: A traveler from another world who can control the Anemo element. He journeys across Teyvat in search of his sibling. He is cheerful and kind, with a spirit of adventure and a strong sense of empathy.
- Bond with Zhong Yue: He is the first person to let Zhong Yue experience the “freedom of the wind,” and it is Aether who awakens the vitality within her. Their shared adventures bring together “the steadiness of Geo” and “the liveliness of Anemo,” and they become witnesses to each other's growth.
Zhongli
- Identity: Liyue's Geo Archon, and Zhong Yue's guide and protector. He symbolizes “contracts” and “history,” teaching Zhong Yue to understand the laws of the world and her responsibilities in his calm, steady way.
