@Penance56@venicemoons@albedosleftleg You’re literally contradicting yourself. The ceremonial blade is sacred for doing ceremonial stuff, why would it be used for combat and gameplay?

In Snezhnaya, the land of frost and ice, it often takes quite a bit of persuasion to get someone to go to the opera house or theater. On bitterly cold days, most would rather stay by the hearth than traipse across the snow just to catch a performance.
Many, however, make an exception for Odette's ballet performances.
Whenever her name appears on a show publicity poster, the lines start forming at the ticket window. Those standing patiently in line are not there because of her sweet smile, for she almost never smiles at the audience. Nor are they drawn by any warmth in her manner — once the curtain falls, she does not remain onstage for even a second longer. Instead, they have come for the dance performance itself. The instant Odette rises to the tips of her toes, even Snezhnaya's howling winds seem to fall still. Every step she takes is so precise, it takes the breath away from everyone in the theater. To her fans, that cold demeanor of hers only makes her more alluring.
This young lady who has captivated so many onstage is also a member of the Fatui.
Her days are divided between the troupe and the Fatui. Her dance practices begin in the early morning, while her training with the Fatui usually stretches late into the night. Her own practices and urgent missions fill whatever time that remains. In the practice room, she stretches to her limits before rising into dance. At the training grounds, she swiftly moves on to her next task after bringing down her opponents. Day after day, she continues like the dancer of a music box, turning without end, as though she never tires, as though she never needs rest.
A friend once asked her, "Don't you ever get tired, going back and forth like that between ballet performances and the Fatui?"
Odette cocked her head in response, seemingly in thought. Then she gave her answer, one that could not be any plainer: "But I'm already used to it."
@EdZero__ And yet, Aether and Lumine are one of the most popular and well-known twin MC’s out there, has VERY interesting lore, are the ones getting an ANIME via Ufotable x Genshin, have touched the hearts of many players, and made long-lasting fans. Did PooWa manage to do that?
@gacha_tourist expecting it to behave exactly like a natural satellite isn’t a scientific argument anymore but it’s ignoring the setting’s own established rules.
@gacha_tourist If we’re using science, then sure, you could question celestial motion. But once the story establishes that this Moon is an ancient divine construct that’s been tampered with and weaponized, +
@FRIEDbrainFISH@AboutSnezhnaya By the late 18th century, they transitioned to soft, flat ballet slippers, while modern pointe shoes were developed and popularized in the early 19th century.
@FRIEDbrainFISH@AboutSnezhnaya She does. They only decided to use the first generation and original type of ballet shoes where it had heels. The first ballerinas wore heeled court shoes.
