Happy Birthday, Arlecchino!
#GenshinImpact#Arlecchino
Today has been unusually quiet. Still, seeing the barely hidden smiles on the children's faces... I imagine they have a bedtime surprise in store for me.
Lyney's hat? A novel idea.
Hmm, the card designs look better than before, and their handwriting has improved as well... Looks like all that practice has paid off.
From that look on your face... I take it there's one from you in this pile as well?
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.

"Should you suddenly find the contents of my plate replaced with lemon slices, or doodles drawn on the bottom of my teacup... Don't make a fuss — rather, turn a blind eye. The greater the reaction to these pranks, the more delighted she who hides in the shadows will be."

Vesna: Snowy Banquet's Sharp Blade
Commander of the Druzhna
#GenshinImpact#Vesna#GenshinSnezhnaya
In Snezhnaya, the clan name "Strivozha" is one of certain importance.
This ancient Vila bloodline, which was already in existence long before Snezhnaya's turbulent early days, has weathered countless storms and earned countless honors over the years.
Vesna is evidently worthy of the name. Radiant and graceful, she exudes effortless refinement and quiet poise... well, at least most of the time.
A veritable free spirit, she refuses to be bound by the norms of polite society. This can often lead to surprising antics. Sometimes, she drives the train at such reckless speeds that all it leaves behind is a blur — and a reprimand waiting for her at the end of the line. At other moments, she carefully, meticulously, scrupulously slips a chosen slice of sour lemon onto a colleague's plate...
But no one would ever question Vesna's virtue or honor, for they come from her sword rather than superficial mores and gestures.
The Druzhna is the blade wielded by the Tsaritsa herself, and Vesna is its keenest edge.
Vesna isn't considered particularly old among the Vila. If anything, she is almost too young by half. In fact, when she first joined the Druzhna, she was known as "that little lass from House Strivozha," though that title was soon forgotten as she started to speak for herself with her skills and accomplishments.
By the time she officially took over as Commander-in-chief of the Druzhna, the name "Vesna" already shone so brightly that people had forgotten the "Strivozha" that followed it.
Now, after generations, this formidable family name has found an even more formidable bearer of its legacy.
Maybe for Vesna herself, her true glory lies not in her family name, nor in her remarkable talents, but in her own unwavering faith:
For the Tsaritsa, and for Snezhnaya.
So it was in the past, and so it shall be in the future. Just like the ancient glaciers, no wind, however capricious, can change this.
A Wedding Invitation from the Snegovik
#NowSnezhnaya#GenshinSnezhnaya#GenshinImpact
It is said that has it that marriages between a human and a Snegovik are exceedingly rare. Yet recently, rumor has it that a wedding ceremony is about to be held for the most distinguished princess of the Snegurochka, and as it happens, the scattered power of the "Eye of Graeae" also points in that direction... So let's head over and check it out, shall we?
