"... I still recall the first time I played chess against Her Majesty — in the pauses between her moves, my mind would wander... 'My liege, my cold and austere Tsaritsa, why do your eyes always conceal such profound and inescapable sorrow?'"
— "Witch J" Ioanna Ivanovna, in her memoirs penned during her later years

Tsaritsa of All Snezhnaya
#GenshinImpact#Anastasya
About the Tsaritsa's past...
Anastasya is a spirit born of frost.
Her days spent in Monomakh's service at the court of the Pale Star were as gentle and beautiful as the auroras of Snezhnaya. Yet like the aurora itself, they too would eventually fade one morning, slipping forever beyond her reach.
After being resurrected by the Heavenly Principles, Anastasya wandered through the wind and snow for centuries, searching for the past she had lost and seeking to unravel the mysteries of this cruel world.
She came to understand with painful clarity that even her own emotions and feelings were nothing more than tools that could be manipulated at will.
And so, once she could confirm that the person she used to be had at least truly understood and felt love deeply, she stopped searching.
For that was enough.
About the Tsaritsa's present...
She trusts neither her memories nor her own feelings. Yet that doubt would strip a ruler of the decisiveness she must possess.
She has every reason to resent for what she had suffered, should every reason to settle the debts of past grudges. Yet that rage would strip a ruler of the reason they must possess.
And so, she casts aside her past and chooses to live only in the present.
Anastasya never takes her eyes off the sword hanging over them all. Someone has to do it. Someone must do it.
For the sake of Snezhnaya and the entire world, she must always make the best decisions in the name of the Pale Star.
Her decisions are sometimes cold, sometimes harsh.
Yet those among her people who still choose to draw close to her can always see through to the gentle warmth beneath.
About the Tsaritsa's future...
Checkmate is not where the game ends.
She knows that against the Heavenly Principles, even our "King" is just another ordinary piece on the board.
Should the day come when a "sacrifice" becomes a necessary move...
"I have taken my place on the board. Triumph or ruin, I shall see it through."
Happy Birthday, Furina!

Mm... Did I fall asleep? I haven't kept you waiting too long, have I? This sofa was just far too comfortable, and before I knew it...
Still, now that I think about it... I did have quite a wonderful dream.
All the little fish came over to play with me, and we swam all through the underwater world together... Hm? You want to know whether you were in it too?
Well, I can't quite remember. But I do vaguely recall some terribly noisy voice calling my name over and over again. Now then, who could that possibly have been?

Vodyanitsa: Lingering Siren-Song
Prima Donna of the Korolevskiy Troupe
#GenshinImpact#Vodyanitsa#GenshinSnezhnaya
A long, long time ago in Snezhnaya, Water Imps dwelled all over the city. Some sang glorious melodies on the stage, while others cheerfully hummed lighthearted tunes through the streets and alleyways. Then there were the others who preferred to slip into the water, where they would lure curious passersby to the water's edge with their haunting, dreamlike songs, only to then suddenly leap up and splash the unsuspecting onlookers full in the face before vanishing, giggling, back beneath the surface with a flick of their tails, leaving their victims floundering between anger and laughter...
But, as time passed, the stages and alleyways of Snezhnaya quietly lost their singers, and the melodies beneath the waters, carried by unseen currents, began flowing soundlessly toward a distant silence. People began to whisper uneasily among themselves, wondering if those haunting songs from the deep might drift away from them forever...
Then, one morning, people learned that Vodyanitsa was still performing on the stage of Korolevskiy Theater, as though the days of old had never faded and the joy of bygone times had remained just as it always had been.
Hardly anyone knew why she stayed — nor did anyone dare ask her to her face, unless they were prepared to never secure another interview with Miss Vodyanitsa ever again.
Maybe, she had stayed on in order not to disappoint the audiences who so adored her singing? Or maybe she was just unwilling to exit that dazzling stage? Or perhaps... there were other reasons significant enough to make her swim against the current, even if it meant bidding farewell to her own kind...
But for Vodyanitsa's audience, delving into the answer to that question is utterly meaningless. The only thing that matters is that they can continue to listen to the captivating voice of the Water Imp.
Of course, if you want to be swept away by her song...
"Standing tickets? Uh, sorry, but we don't sell those here at the theater at the moment... And no, we don't allow our patrons to bring their own chairs either."
"Crack the doors open a little? The draft would leave everyone inside freezing..."
"My apologies, but the theater isn't hiring any day cleaners at the moment!"
... First, you need to get a ticket.
