i definitely think mitya is some sort of alchemical angel / a false angel (maybe purposefully created by the fatui? which would explain his influence) but he's either not aware of it or his nature means he doesn't know as much about celestia as other angels do
@dhrzd99 yeah, but ronova also treated paimon like she was weak as well when imo paimon is much more important than that.. i think its part of ronova's arrogance, she underestimates the power of the opposition to celestia
@stellarcele im convinced it's going to be skirk sq levels of lore tbh and didnt a leaker say his sq was super long... i genuinely feel like it's going to change out entire perception of genshin's lore
@LemonMelonn23 ooh yeah you're right! we still don't know how koitar recovered her memories of hyperborea and the voyager, so maybe creating mitya had a part in that? like a vessel for koitar's memories which would then result in him losing his memories once she recovered them
related to the angel mitya theory but i think his scarf is a disguise for his angel wings. i was racking my head around trying to think of why it has 4 fingers when, if made to represent a human hand, should have 5 and i think its actually made to represent angel wings
@LemonMelonn23 i wouldn't really put much trust into leaks but yeah i considered him being created by the angel civilisation or a fragment of the angels' power as well. i think with the way things are going he might also be connected to koitar and seutervoinen in a way
@stellarcele it's either that or i think he's being purposefully kept in the dark by the fatui. when mitya knows more than he lets on (e.g in the cafe scene with vodyanitsa) he lets us know + he's also frequently "censored" (by his scarf or by valeriy)
i mean.. the amount of alchemical elements in his design along with seemingly supernatural abilities (being able to leave a mark on his soul, being able to sense when he's being watched or talked about) along with obvious angelic motifs .. idk
when odette explain his "death" at armory place, he suddenly mention 'tonia' out fo nowhere caught me off guard tbh
and my friend said, the mitya photo like pointing at the right choice
