History Characters / GenshinImpactKnightsOfFavonius

* DistaffCounterpart: Like DIluc, Rosaria is a red-haired vigilante whose day job is a cover for their dirty work.

* MsFanservice: Overall downplayed compared to other examples, though Noelle is still very well-endowed for her height, having the largest breasts amongst the mid-sized female characters; in addition, despite dressing up conservatively, she wears skintight pantyhose and a form-fitting breastplate molded for her breasts and exposes her cleavage and [[SexyBacklessOutfit a lot of her back]]. Her wardrobe also makes her look like a French {{m|eido}}aid. Finally, despite that she's wearing ''plate armor'', her breasts have JigglePhysics, including the armor itself.

* GradualRegeneration: Her Skill heals the active character in four waves five seconds apart (hence a duration of fifteen seconds) and allows Barbara's Normal Attacks to heal the party (with their potency scaling off of her Max HP), in addition to dealing a two-hit damage to surrounding foes upon activation.[[note]]Healing is equivalent to (4–8.5% Max HP)+(385.18–1059) for the regeneration and (0.75–1.59% Max HP)+(72.2–198.63) for Barbara's augmented Normal Attacks, in addition to a 58.4–124.1% damage multiplier per hit[[/note]] Her fourth-ascension passive, ''Encore'', increases its duration by one second (to a maximum of five) whenever the active character picks up Elemental Orbs or Particles.

** Barbara grew up in Jean's shadow because her sister was [[TheAce good at everything]], and thus the former became an IdolSinger partly [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter to demonstrate she could be better than Jean at something]] (ironically, [[HiddenDepths Jean is also a good singer]]). Gameplay-wise, Jean is a [[SwissArmyWeapon highly versatile unit]] who can fill multiple roles in a team including healing, but while her Normal Attacks can heal, it is random, her main source of healing is locked behind her Burst, and none of her upgrades improve said ability; meanwhile, Barbara ''[[CombatMedic specializes]]'' [[CombatMedic in healing]], as apart from her Elemental Talents, her Normal Attack can heal the party while the Melody Loop is active, and with a full Constellation she can ''[[AutoRevive revives]]'' a fallen teammate to full health.

* StarPower: Her Burst has Barbara perform a spinning flourish as she heals the party with a sparkling rain shower.[[note]]With healing worth (17.6–39.6% of her Max HP)+(1694–4999)[[note]]

Rosaria stealthily metes out ruthless punishment through her Elemental Skill, ''Ravaging Confession'', where she sneaks behind her target to stab then slash at them, and her Elemental Burst, ''Rites of Termination'', where she swings her spear around and hurls an Ice Lance to the ground that periodically blows gusts of cold wind on surrounding enemies.[[note]]When fully upgraded, she gains the ability to boost Critical Rate, either for herself whenever she successfully lands a backstab with her Skill or for the party whenever she uses her Burst, as well as to the damage potency and speed of her normal attacks, in addition to restoring Energy, whenever she lands critical hits, and her Burst can now inflict a Physical resistance penalty.[[/note]]

* TheAlcoholic: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She enjoys wine, but says explicitly that she never gets drunk. Her Serenitea Pot chat clarifies that she does not ''allow'' herself to get drunk. Whenever she is on the verge of getting too tipsy to continue working, she holds herself back.
* AlmightyJanitor: Rosaria occupies barely prominent positions within the Church of Favonius due to her sloth, which leads her to skip most of her daily duties, her inability to comply with the rules, and especially her lack of faith towards Barbatos; however, she is also by far their most fearsome clergywoman thanks to her past as a bandit and her skills at espionage and assassination, to say nothing of holding a Vision.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The description of her character namecard implies that she works as hard as she does to repay the citizens of Mondstadt for their kindness towards her.

* BreakingOldTrends: Rosaria is the first playable character whose Wish artwork has a matching pose to her Character Introduction artwork, something that every character after her release (with the exception of the Wanderer and Furina) followed suit ever since.

* ChurchMilitant: Rosaria embodies this trope, voluntarily taking on work deemed too dirty for the Church of Favonius to handle, such as eliminating threats. {{Downplayed|Trope}} since no other member of the Church is shown to engage in such vigilantism yet.

* CriticalHitClass: Both of Rosaria's ascension passives increase Critical Rate. That for her first, ''Regina Probationum'', gives her a 12% boost for five seconds whenever she successfully hits an enemy from behind with her Skill; the latter, ''Shadow Samaritan'', increases those of her allies for ten seconds based on 15% of her own (to a maximum of 15%) whenever she triggers her Burst.

* DamageOverTime: Her Burst summons an Ice Lance that damages surrounding enemies four times for eight seconds (one burst every other second). Her second Constellation upgrade, ''Land Without Promise'', extends its duration to twelve seconds (and hence six bursts).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: As a child, her parents were killed and she was kidnapped into slavery by bandits, then somehow joined that group after killing its leader (and at the same time received her Vision). She was spared when the Knights of Favonius took down the gang and have her sent to a convent despite her obvious lack of faith in Barbatos, during which she found her current job of being Mondstadt's protector in the shadows a suitable vocation.

* DefrostingIceQueen: And not just because of her [[AnIcePerson Cryo Vision]] or because she first appeared in the Dragonspine update -- Rosaria is icy and [[BrutalHonesty is not afraid to speak her mind]]. However, she seems to have a (non-romantic) soft spot for the Traveler, which is reinforced when the "Of Drink A-Dreaming" event demonstrates that the Traveler has the ability to put her in a good mood to backup Kaeya's comments that a good bartender lifts their patrons' spirits.
* DistaffCounterpart: A red-haired vigilante who works a second job during the day to cover their dirty work, as well as having issues with their daytime job along with the people that work there, much like Diluc.

* FanservicePack: Subverted. In Rosaria's first appearance in v1.2, she could compete with Signora for having the largest breasts of any female character. That being said, when it comes to her playable model, her breasts shrunk to a size comparable to other characters that use the Tall Female model as Lisa and Ningguang. She was also one of the four female characters who gained a more modest outfit (or an optional outfit for global servers) to comply with Chinese censorship laws.
* FemmeFatalons: She has sharpened metal claws over her gloves to better illustrate her identity as the enforcer of the Church of Favonius, rather than being a healer like Barbara.
* FlashStep: Her Skill begins with a feint move that has her sneak behind her target and literally backstab them. Note that Rosaria is unable to move around larger enemies such as Lawachurls and Ruin Guards with this.
* {{Foil}}: To Barbara. Whereas the latter is warm, kind, caring, and has a difficult time telling the truth, Rosaria is cold, aloof, abrasive, and is [[BrutalHonesty not afraid to speak her mind]]. Likewise, Barbara is a support healer, while Rosaria is a frontline fighter. Lastly, while Barbara has a Hydro Vision, Rosaria has a Cryo.
* GoodIsNotNice: Puts Mondstadt's interests at the front and center of her work and is even willing to share a word of advice to the Traveler, but is otherwise quite caustic.
* HartmanHips: Actually, her hips aren't any more pronounced than any other character with the Tall Female model, but the splits in her skirt and fishnet stockings call attention to it in a way which the others' outfits don't.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Rarely, Rosaria will display a more pleasant side, mostly when it comes to those who show genuine compassion in protecting others. She will even offer advice to the Traveler as they grow closer, namely to never let go of their past self. It's shown in the "Of Drink A-Dreaming" event that she is significantly easier to get along with on a good day at the tavern. She just has little patience for how uptight the rest of Mondstadt is.

* InformedAttribute: According to the character stories, Rosaria is an avid smoker, along with her other NunTooHoly actions. However, she lacks any animations depicting her doing so.

** In Albedo's Story Quest, she calls out the Traveler for helping Albedo without knowing of his true intentions, and she suspects that he is hiding a secret that may endanger Mondstadt. Unbeknownst to the Traveler, she is right.
** During the Weinelesefest event, while she shows a BigSisterInstinct towards Razor, she asks him [[AndThenWhat what's his next goal after discovering his birth parents, whether they were good or not]], and emphasizes that the Mondstadt folk's optimism leaves them blind to facing reality.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: An IceQueen through and through, but one that nevertheless carries on with her duty to protect the Mondstadtian folk, however [[GoodIsNotNice sour]] her demeanor can be.

* LightningBruiser: Rosaria's skillset specializes in dealing large amounts of damage very quickly, [[CriticalHitClass and both her ascension passives and most of her Constellation upgrades increase her chance of dealing critical damage]]. Finally, both her HP and her Defense stats are high enough that she can take as much damage as she can dish out.

* MsFanservice: Her initial choice of clothing is very revealing, especially for a nun. She wears a very tight outfit that does not hide her bust size and exposes her back, along with fishnets on her legs. Even her censored outfit is also skintight and as a result is not much better at hiding how busty she is.

* PartTimeHero: By night, Rosaria is a ruthless and efficient vigilante hunting down Mondstadt's enemies from the shadows. By day, she returns to her "duties" as a nun of the Church of Favonius, spending the better part of her day resting in a quiet corner of the City or hitting up the bar. Her key principle, which is ironically the one thing she follows religiously, is ''no overtime''.

* ReiAyanamiExpy: She has short, wine-colored hair, magenta-pink eyes, and pale grey skin. Rosaria is also [[TheStoic stoic and aloof]] (unless she is forced into Church events), preferring to distance herself from the citizens of Mondstadt if she can help it. This, of course, stems from her DarkAndTroubledPast where keeping to herself was what kept her alive.

* VigilanteWoman: She's technically a nun, but she only performs the bare minimum of duties needed from her in that role. Her ''de facto'' occupation is protecting Mondstadt from the shadows, and for this reason the Church tolerates her behavior. That said, this was never an official part of her job description. She threatened to arrest Paimon and the Traveler for eavesdropping, and even kept a close eye on their activities with Albedo for any signs of a threat to the safety of Mondstadt. Fischl also inadvertently overhears Rosaria in the middle of her enforcement.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: A minor but significant case: She's one of the only 2 characters (the other being Diluc) whose "power-up" ability (her Elemental Burst in her case) isn't cancelled upon being switched out, meaning that while she's in her Burst state, it's possible for you to switch one (or two) of her support characters to use their abilities and switch her in again in order to continue her assault.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Barbara is currently the only 4★ character in the game with a cinematic Elemental Burst animation otherwise reserved for 5★ characters.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter:
** Barbara is notably the only 4★ unit with a close-up cinematic for her Elemental Burst, a trait normally restricted to 5★ units. This is a carryover from the game's development phase, where she was meant to be 5★ before her rarity was lowered so that players would have at least one ready healer.
** Her Burst is the only one in the game that neither deals damage nor provides such buffs, and is instead purely meant to heal the party.

* DirtyCop: Orders Diluc to keep the true nature of Crepus' death a secret to save face. [[spoiler:Unfortunately Jean discovered this and reported the matter to Varka, resulting in him being expelled and pending investigation.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one chapter of the manga, but his role in ordering Diluc to cover up the incident that led to his father's death caused irreparably damaged Diluc's view of the Knights, which persists even today.

The dominant religion of Mondstadt worshipping Lord Barbatos, subordinate to Knights of Favonius.

Younger sister of Jean, a deaconess of the Church of Favonius, and a renowned songstress. Her bubbly, cheerful disposition hides self-confidence issues and a desire to catch up to her equally famous sister, with whom she has not talked to much ever since their parents separated. She meets with the Traveler and co. at the end of Mondstadt's Archon Quest to retrieve the Holy Lyre der Himmel, and healing them and Venti after an enraged Fatui Harbinger ambushes the two at the Church's entrance.\\

Barbara soothes her allies with her healing music through her Elemental Talents. Her Skill, ''Let the Show Begin''♪, surrounds the active character with a Melody Loop, a ring of water droplets resembling a musical staff which periodically heals the active character, with the additional ability to heal the entire party while Barbara is attacking, while her Burst, ''Shining Miracle''♪, instantly heals the party.[[note]]When fully upgraded, she can now regenerate Energy, either gradually or whenever she lands charged attacks; the Melody Loop can now reduce the active character's Stamina consumption and boost their Hydro damage, as well as extended whenever they pick up Elemental Orbs or Particles; and she can now periodically revive a fallen ally back to full health.[[/note]]

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Barbara is one of the few Catalyst users whose normal attacks are placed ''at the position'' of the enemy, rather than create a flying projectile. This means that, so long as she has line of sight to an enemy and it is not ''too'' far above or below her, she can always hit it with her normal and charged attacks. While her actual damage scaling is not great, this still has tons of applications and increases her utility and damage potential immensely compared to her stats on paper, especially while the Melody Loop is active, which allows her to heal allies while attacking.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Barbara grew up in Jean's shadow--everything Barbara can do, Jean can do it better. Part of the reason she became an IdolSinger is because she wants to best Jean at ''something'', and while she does not resent Jean for being better at many things and continues to love her despite their separation, she just wanted to find something ''she'' could be good at, too.

* BadassAdorable: Barbara is both a deaconess and the resident {{idol|Singer}} of Mondstadt who is LovedByAll. She's also a Hydro Vision holder who, while not a powerhouse by herself, is [[GlacierWaif much sturdier than what her petite appearance belies]].

* BoringButPractical: Players who prioritize damage-dealing tend to overlook Barbara because of her focus on healing and the fact that the potencies of both her Elemental Talents scale off of her Max HP instead of Attack. However, few healers in the game can compare to her output when built optimally, being able to heal entire parties back to full health in mere seconds with only normal attacks enhanced by a Miracle Loop. With a fully-upgraded Constellation, she becomes one of the few units capable of reviving fallen allies within the Spiral Abyss (which forbids the consumption of food). Only Qiqi can achieve a similar effect, but with her being a 5★ unit, getting seven of her is a much less likely occurrence.
* CombatMedic: In addition to periodically restoring the active character's HP, the Melody Loop allows Barbara to simultaneously heal the party in tandem with her attacks.
* CrutchCharacter: Barbara is a decent healer and having someone in that role frees players from the habit of [[HyperactiveMetabolism consuming food to restore HP]]. The game gives her out for free to players who reached Adventure Rank 20 before the v1.1 update (and afterwards, she is available after finishing the Mondstadt Archon Quest), making her the player's [[StarterMon starting healer]] if they have yet to receive one from the Wishes. Her Skill also provides a GradualRegeneration and it also has a decent cooldown; however, it has a downside of applying Wet on the active character. While this is negligible against ordinary enemies, her Skill becomes risky to use against certain enemies and bosses, especially Cryo-elemental ones, since they will have higher chances of freezing your characters instead.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Barbara is currently the only 4☆ character in the game with a cinematic Elemental Burst animation, animations that are otherwise reserved for 5☆ characters.

* FanservicePack: Version 1.6 made her the first playable character to have an alternate costume--a swimsuit which, while lacking her normal outfit's low neckline, [[LegFocus bares her legs and shows a lot more of them]].
* FearOfThunder: {{Implied|Trope}}; in her "When Thunder Strikes" voice-over, Barbara gets briefly startled over lightning falling.

* {{Foil}}: To Rosaria. Whereas the latter is antisocial, apathetic about her duties, lazy, and [[BrutalHonesty not afraid to speak her mind]], Barbara is personable, dedicated to the Church, hardworking, and conflict-avoidant. Likewise, Rosaria is a Cryo sub-DPS who zips around the battlefield while Barbara's Hydro abilities focus on nothing but healing from the sidelines.

* GlacierWaif: Don't let her image as a WhiteMagicianGirl fool you--Barbara is one of the tankiest characters in the game when built properly.

* GradualRegeneration: Her Skill gradually heals the active character for fifteen seconds, in addition to a LifeDrain effect whenever Barbara attacks (see below). Her fourth-ascension passive, ''Encore'', increases its duration by one second (to a maximum of five) whenever the active character picks up Elemental Orbs or Particles.

* HealerSignsOnEarly: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. After Noelle, the next available and first full [=F2P=] healer is Barbara, who the player receives for free on v1.0 after reaching Adventurer Rank 20 (near the end of, or after completing the Mondstadt Archon Quest), which can take about thirty hours. Players who signed in from v1.1 onwards need to take longer and complete the Archon Quest to obtain her.

* HiddenBuxom: The large ribbons on her chest area in both of her outfits hide that Barbara has a surprisingly decent chest.
* IdolSinger: She's the nearest thing Mondstadt has to one, and in fact learned the concept of idols from a foreign magazine. Her Character Story elaborates on how her performances originally sounded strange to the people of Mondstadt, who only heard the songs of bards up until that point, but eventually they embraced her unique style and became loyal fans.

* {{Irony}}: When the party returns a badly damaged Holy Lyre der Himmel to her, she has a bit of a breakdown, bemoaning that not even Barbatos forgiving her would let her atone for this sin. [[spoiler:She has no idea that the boy in green in front of her is not only her god incognito, but is also more or less the one who got it destroyed in the first place. Venti obviously feels bad about this.]]
* LifeDrain: Apart from the GradualRegeneration (see above), the Miracle Loop can heal the party in tandem with Barbara's attacks.

* MagikarpPower: Barbara is a pure healer who isn't designed to deal damage... until you start collecting the Ocean-Hued Clam artifact set from the Slumbering Court in Inazuma. Its four-piece bonus creates a Sea-Dyed Foam, a bubble that lasts three seconds before bursting to damage surrounding enemies based on 90% of the accumulated healing (including overflows, to a maximum of 30,000 HP, or 27,000 points of damage) within at least 3.5-second intervals. With both her Elemental Talents completely geared towards healing, she can hit this cap quite handily, letting her turn her potent healing into a lethal weapon.

** Barbara is notably the only 4★ unit with a close-up cinematic for her Elemental Burst, a trait normally restricted to 5★ units. This is a carryover from the game's development phase, where she was meant to be 5★ before her rarity was lowered so that players would have at least one reliable base healer.
** Her Burst is the only one in the entire game that neither deals damage nor provides damage buffs, and is instead purely meant to heal the party.

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: She begs for Barbatos' forgiveness [[spoiler:after seeing the Holy Lyre der Himmel's sorry state after it was mangled during Dvalin's rampage, unaware that Venti, who had the Lyre at that time, is Barbatos himself and obviously feeling a bit uncomfortable about the whole situation]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Similarly to Amber, while Barbara uses the same "Medium Female" model as other teen-looking female characters, has a soft voice and acts bubbly (as per an idol), one branch of her Hangout event shows she goes for a drink at the Cat's Tail, which would indicate Barbara is a young adult.

* ThePollyanna: Barbara has so dedicated herself to her role of bringing joy to other people that she does not allow herself to be depressed for so long, forcing to brighten up no matter what happens.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Wears a pair of white ones under her outfit.
* RegeneratingMana: Barbara's first Constellation upgrade, ''Gleeful Songs'', allows her to regenerate 1 Energy every ten seconds. Her fourth, ''Attentiveness Be My Power'', also restores 1 Energy for every enemy hit by her charged attacks (up to 5 at once).
* SameSurnameMeansRelated: Averted, she uses her father's surname while her older sister Jean uses their mother's.
* SayItWithHearts: Her dialogue and the names of her specials feature a musical note (♪).
* SelectiveObliviousness: She can't quite piece together all the hints about [[spoiler:Venti's real identity]] despite how he performs incredible feats right in front of her. She sees him [[spoiler:"fix" the Holy Lyre der Himmel, learns he can summon Dvalin, and even points out how his body seems different from a normal human when she tries to heal him]], but she either takes his flimsy excuses at face value or decides it's none of her business to investigate further.

** Barbara grew up in Jean's shadow because her sister was [[TheAce good at everything]], and thus the former became an IdolSinger partly [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter to demonstrate she could be better than Jean at something]] (though [[{{Irony}} it should be noted]], [[HiddenDepths Jean is good at singing, too]]). In gameplay, Jean is a [[SwissArmyWeapon highly versatile unit]] that can fill multiple roles in a team including healing, but while her Normal attacks can heal, they only have a chance to do so, her main ability that heals does so periodically and is locked behind her Burst, and none of her Constellations improve said ability; meanwhile, Barbara ''[[CombatMedic specializes]]'' [[CombatMedic in healing]], as her Skill heals characters periodically, her normal attacks require her Skill to gain the ability to heal but said ability is guaranteed, her Burst heals a drastic amount of HP immediately, and her sixth Constellation ''[[AutoRevive revives]]'' a fallen teammate to full health.

** Her Hangout Event tree reveals that Barbara is also a decent cook, albeit specializing in spicy food. Fittingly, her utility passive, ''With My Whole Heart''♪, gives her a 12% chance to cook HP-restoring dishes twice.
* StarPower: Her Burst has Barbara perform a spinning flourish as she heals the party with a sparkling rain shower.
* StatusBuff: Barbara's first-ascension passive, ''Glorious Season'', confers upon the Melody Loop the ability to reduce the active character's stamina consumption by 12%, while her second Constellation upgrade, ''Vitality Burst'', adds a 15% boost to Hydro Damage Bonus, in addition to reducing the cooldown time of her Skill by 15% (i.e., from 32 seconds to 27.2).

* VagueAge: The story doesn't make it exactly clear how old is Barbara, only that she is Jean's younger sister. Her soft voice only makes this more ambiguous. Though, given the fact she goes for a drink at the Cat's Tail in one branch of her Hangout event, and the Cat's Tail being a tavern, it's possible Barbara is on her late teens.

* MightyGlacier: Noelle mostly focuses on defense, and has the slower attack speed characteristic of claymore users, but once she activates her Burst, she'll be hitting ''real'' hard, with damage scaling off of her Defense, incentivizing players to build her to be even tankier to enhance her offensive prowess.

* SpellBlade: Her Burst coats her sword with Geo energy, increasing its reach and potency (the latter, based on a percentage of her Defense stat). Her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Must Be Spotless'', allows it to increase Noelle's Attack stat in the meantime equivalent to half of her Defense, as well as extends its duration by a second for every enemy defeated (to a maximum of ten).

Noelle draws on her work experience to protect her allies with her Elemental Skill, ''Breastplate'', which blasts surrounding foes with Geo energy and conjures a barrier around the active character that negates all damage as well as allows Noelle to randomly heal her allies whenever she attacks, while her Elemental Burst, ''Sweeping Time'', supercharges her claymore with Geo energy and increases her attacks' power and range.[[note]]When fully upgraded, she can now automatically generate a longer-lasting but less resilient form of her Skill's shield onto allies with dangerously low HP while she is off-field, as well as cut into the cooldown of her Skill every fourth regular or charged attack; her shields can now deal Geo damage on surrounding enemies whenever its time expires or it takes sufficient damage; her Burst can now be extended whenever she defeats enemies; and both Talents active at the same time guarantee her attacks to heal the party.[[/note]]

* AchievementsInIgnorance: According to one Character Story, not so long ago she hosted a Snezhnayan merchant who had been secretly conspiring to take over Mondstadt's wine industry. Noelle being Noelle, she was so good at her job, going as far as to start predicting his and his family's every request, that the merchant grew paranoid that [[EntertaininglyWrong she may have caught wind of his plans]]. He eventually hightailed it out of Mondstadt, leaving poor Noelle upset for a while because she honestly had no idea what she had done wrong.
* AlmightyJanitor: Noelle is still a maid who has not yet managed to pass the selections to become a Knight of Favonius in spite of possessing a Vision, differentiating her from the rank-and-file. In-game, however, if properly and fully developed, she is easily one of the toughest characters to defeat thanks to her Elemental Talents that guarantee her high survivability and with a fully maximized Constellation, Noelle becomes a OneWomanArmy.
* AscendedMeme: As the earliest claymore unit most people had access to early on, she was often memed as merely a dedicated mining machine since ore is difficult to break with any other weapon type. One branch of her first Hangout Event tree has the Traveler take her ore-smashing as a training exercise; even after beating a lawachurl, she cannot resist clobbering the crystal ores around it.
* BadassAdorable: Noelle is a lovely, sweet girl who works as a maid for the Knights and loves her job, and also trains hard to become a full-fledged knight one day... oh, and she also wields [[{{BFS}} claymores]], those usually being as tall as she is, and is [[GlacierWaif much sturdier than her delicate physique would give]].
* BarrierWarrior: Her Skill deals minor Geo damage on surrounding enemies and casts a shield around the active character which, for the next twelve seconds or until it is broken, absorbs all kinds of damage and allows Noelle to randomly heal the party with her normal or charged attacks, with the resilience of the shield and her healing potency scaling off of her Defense stat. Her first-ascension passive, ''Devotion'', automatically casts the barrier on any of her allies whenever their HP falls below 30% and she is not active (within at least one-minute intervals), which lasts twenty seconds and whose damage absorption is based on 400% of Noelle's Defense stat, while her fourth Constellation upgrade, ''To Be Cleaned'', allows it to deal Geo damage on surrounding enemies whenever its time expires or it takes enough hits, equivalent to 400% of her Attack stat.

* BigEater: In one branch of her first Hangout Event tree, Noelle makes an order at Good Hunter for a visitor consisting of four entrées, namely a Steak, Sweet Madame, Mushroom Pizza, and Satisfying Salad. It does not seem to register that part of the reason the merchant she was buying this for was apprehensive was that it was an unusually large amount of food.
* BlessedWithSuck: To a very minor degree, but Noelle is less than happy that her Vision happened to be Geo, feeling that as an aspiring Knight of Favonius, she should have been granted an Anemo Vision instead and worrying that her Geo does not align as well.[[note]]Ironically, only Jean and Sucrose have Anemo visions among the Knights.[[/note]]
* BoringButPractical: Both her Elemental Talents are very straightforward. Her Skill summons a shield that absorbs damage and occasionally provides healing on hit, while her Burst turns her claymore into a SpellBlade with an attack buff based off of her Defense. However, her tanky stats makes it exceedingly difficult for her to be knocked out even without Constellation upgrades, and she can stun-lock most humanoid enemies with her standard four-hit attack combo. With enough investment, time, and patience, she can solo almost anything via DeathByAThousandCuts.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: [[ExaggeratedTrope She has a bad case of it]], to ExtremeDoormat levels. If anyone needs her help, she'll come running, to the point that she memorized and recited the names of people who would ask for her help, no matter how exhausted she may be or if the other person is abusing her kindness. The issue was so rampant that Jean updated the Knights of Favonius Handbook to threaten punishment to any Knight who would offload work onto Noelle.

* CombatMedic: Her Skill allows her to randomly heal allies while attacking; with her first Constellation upgrade, ''I Got Your Back'', said attacks will be ''guaranteed'' to heal if her Burst is also active.
* CooldownManipulation: Noelle's fourth-ascension passive, ''Nice and Clean'', allows her to shave one second off the cooldown time of her Skill every fourth normal or charged attack.
* CrutchCharacter: In the early game, Noelle is a good tank, a decent healer, and as a player's first claymore user she's your best option for obtaining ores. However, Her Skill has an enormous 24-second cooldown, her healing only has a 50% chance to work each hit, and her damage isn't high, making her an unimpressive choice as both a DPS and as a support in the late game. That said, with a lot of investment (and pulling for her Constellation upgrades), [[MagikarpPower Noelle truly blossoms into a worthy Knight of Favonius]].
* DefenseMechanismSuperpower: Her first-ascension passive, ''Devotion'', allows Noelle to automatically cast a damage-absorbent shield for twenty seconds onto any ally whose HP falls below 30%.

** She once rescued an adventurer trapped on Dragonspine. Even if that was an unfortunate day because of a snowstorm that left her hungry and thirsty, Noelle still carried the adventurer on her back, even if that resulted in her lying sick with a high fever for three days.
** She was extremely determined to resolve the Stormterror incident... by herself. Given her reputation, it would have been possible were it not for Kaeya's intervention, in which he assigned her busywork to keep her distracted.

* ExtremeDoormat: Noelle's desire to help others ends up leading to her having a tough time refusing requests, allowing people to take advantage of her at times. It got to a point where Jean had to put in a rule in the Knights of Favonius Handbook which prohibited dumping any tasks on Noelle under threat of payment reductions.

* HealerSignsOnEarly: Zig-zagged. The first available [=F2P=] healer is Noelle, whose Skill has a base 50% chance to heal whenever her attacks connect, but only if you do the Beginner Wish, which becomes available after clearing the first act of the Mondstadt Archon Quest and at Adventurer Rank 5.

* JackOfAllStats: Noelle can fill any role in a team, tanking heavy damage and providing shields, dealing respectable damage with her claymore, and healing allies through her Skill; [[MasterOfNone as usual with the trope]], however, she doesn't excel at any of these roles. She has poor Attack growth (the worst out of any claymore wielder); she heals less reliably than those dedicated to the role like Barbara or Kokomi; and her shield, while still incredibly sturdy, still pales in comparison to Zhongli. Her final Constellation upgrade boosts her Attack further while her Burst is active and makes it last longer with each enemy defeated, making her more usable as a main DPS, though she still is not the best character for this role since her Burst has a very high Energy quota.

* LifeDrain: Her Skill gives her at least a 50% chance to heal her team whenever she lands a hit. With her first Constellation upgrade, ''I Got Your Back'', this becomes guaranteed while her Burst is also active.

* MightyGlacier: Noelle mostly focuses on defense, and has the slower attack speed characteristic of claymore users, but once she activates her Burst, she'll be hitting ''real'' hard, with a damage bonus scaling off of her Defense. The player can take this further by investing in both her Defense ''and'' Attack.
* MsFanservice: Overall downplayed compared to other examples, though Noelle is still very well-endowed for her height, having the biggest breasts of all the Medium Female characters; in addition, despite dressing up conservatively, she wears skintight pantyhose and a form-fitting breastplate that's molded for her breasts and exposes her cleavage and [[SexyBacklessOutfit a lot of her back]]. Her wardrobe also makes her look like a French {{m|eido}}aid. Finally, despite that she's wearing ''plate armor'', her breasts have JigglePhysics, including the armor itself.
* NaiveNewcomer: Jean fears that Noelle is unprepared for the dangers outside Mondstadt's walls, and Noelle's first Hangout Event tree confirms that she rarely leaves the city due to her job as a maid and has little actual fighting experience. The player can have her kick ass across multiple continents and make this a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation.

* NinjaMaid: ''Knight'' maid to be exact (technically squire maid).
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: An armored, greatsword-wielding, petite squire maid who's in training to be a knight and is cute as a button. Need we say more?
* ThePerfectionist: Noelle is hyper-focused on passing the Knights' selection exams flawlessly. In one route of her second Hangout Event tree, if she passes Cyrus' mock-up entrance exam for the Adventurer's Guild with only few mistakes, she'll slump into disappointment that she didn't get the perfect score and head back to the Knights' headquarters to study more books, thinking that her "success" didn't qualify as one.

* ReducedManaCost: A variant--Noelle's second Constellation upgrade, ''Combat Maid'', reduces the stamina consumption of her charged attacks by 20%, as well as increases their damage potency by 15%.

** For all her strength, Noelle is still a knight in training. In-game she's a MagikarpPower-type unit requiring a lot of investment to reach her true potential.
** She'll help out with anything from chores to combat to moving furniture. Likewise, her skillset makes her a JackOfAllStats that covers three of the four main aspects of combat: DPS, shielding, and healing. She's only lacking in crowd control, which is what Anemo specializes in.
** As detailed below under UnskilledButStrong, she has no real fighting style and is consistently beaten by more experienced Knights in sparring matches. In-game, her skillset revolves around simply tanking damage and moving forward to whale on her opponent.

* TheSquire: Despite the game describing her as a "maid," she is closer to being this. She aspires to be a Knight of Favonius herself, and she is constantly learning from the ranks, customs, speech, and conduct of active Knights even as she gives service to them. That said, she is still trying to be the best maid she can be in the interim and focuses heavily on maidly duties in her training.

* SuperStrength: Even before receiving her Geo Vision, Noelle has already proven monstrous strength that far exceeds that of normal humans, and as such, her character profile describes her as "superhuman." She can lift fully loaded carts and bookshelves with one arm, and her strength is so great that she broke every sword she tried to use, prompting Wagner to forge a claymore tailored to her strength. The game never explains how she got her super strength, but her first Hangout Event tree implies that it could be the result of her sheer devotion to helping others in need as well as her [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower constant training]].

* UnskilledButStrong: According to her Hangout Event, this is the reason she is not an official Knight yet. While she has the strength to make even the Traveler gawk, she lacks practical combat experience due to spending most of her time either training or working as a maid, which leads to her losing all sparring matches she participates in for her exams. [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration Her playstyle certainly reflects this]], as it's mostly based around withstanding attacks and crushing enemies with raw strength rather than doing anything particularly dexterous.

* WeightWoe: She is extremely conscientious of her weight and figure. As such, she dislikes banquets as she is obliged as a maid to taste test all of the dishes to ensure their quality. Characters note that in the days following a banquet, Noelle readily volunteers to take part in night patrols. Her comment in the Brightcrown Canyon Floral Freefall scoreboard has her lament that her heavy stomach may impede her gliding skill.

* TheGhost: Out of the ten Captains of the Knights, only ''four'' have been revealed as of Version 3.6, with not even a mention of the remaining six having occurred since the game's launch. However, in terms of physical presence, it's possibly {{justified|trope}} by them being with Varka's expedition, although which Captains left and which stayed in Mondstadt has never been made explicit.

** Diluc passionately believes the Knights to be largely incompetent, partly justifying his vigilante work. To some extent, he is right, given that the Knights as an institution can at times be shockingly oblivious as to what's going on in or around the City, missing or arriving late to such emergencies as Abyss Order incursions, [[spoiler:the theft of the Holy Lyre der Himmel, and--most confoundingly--the Fatui openly attacking Venti right outside Favonius Cathedral. Despite the amount of elemental power unleashed during the minutes-long confrontation, not one person in Mondstadt runs over to see what is happening until after it is already over, with the Traveler waking up as Barbara finished healing them]]. Possibly {{justified|trope}} by the fact that all the players see of the Knights for much of the story is but a skeleton staff led by Jean, as Varka took majority of the Knights' manpower, including elite forces, on an expedition half a year ago, [[WorfHadTheFlu meaning they currently lack staff and left mostly with the rank-and-file]].

Jean displays her leadership skills through her balance between offense, support, and healing, with her charged attacks having the unique ability to lift her enemies skyward with a slowed-down descent. Her Elemental Skill, ''Gale Blade'', is a windy thrust which, in its charged form, can suck in enemies and allows her to manually control her trajectory, while her Elemental Burst, ''Dandelion Breeze'', blasts foes with strong winds and generates the Dandelion Field which periodically heals allies within its radius as well as deals Anemo damage whenever enemies enter and exit its radius.[[note]]When fully upgraded, her normal attacks can now randomly heal the party, as well as boost their movement and attacking speed whenever she picks up Elemental Orbs or Particles; her Burst can now automatically restore some Energy; and the Dandelion Field gains an Anemo Resistance debuff on enemies and a damage reduction buff on allies, both of which will linger even after they leave its radius.[[/note]]

* AloofBigSister: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While she expresses concern for Barbara according to voice-overs, Jean's backstory reveals that she has difficulty getting close to her sister, who [[SolomonDivorce grew up with their father Seamus after their parents separated]]. Despite her admiration for Jean and her bubbly disposition, Barbara feels the same awkwardness. Part of the "Midsummer Island Adventure Event" involves curbing this trope, with Jean and Barbara become closer by the end of the event.

* AreaOfEffect: Her Burst blows away surrounding enemies and creates the Dandelion Field, a billowing circle of wind and dandelions around her which for ten seconds heals allies (at a rate of once per second) and imbues them with Anemo, as well as damages enemies whenever they go in and out.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, its damage multiplier is 424.8–956% for the initial burst and 78.4–176% when entering or exiting the radius, while its healing potency is equivalent to (251.2–565.2%)+(1540–4544) of her Max HP for the initial burst, with the subsequent healing waves being worth 10% of that[[/note]] Her fourth and sixth Constellation upgrades respectively add a DamageIncreasingDebuff against enemies and a DamageReduction buff on allies within its radius (see below).
* BeleagueredBoss: Between [[BunnyEarsLawyer Amber]], [[BrilliantButLazy Lisa]], [[TheGadfly Kaeya]], [[PersonOfMassDestruction Klee]], [[ExtremeDoormat Noelle]], and [[HeroWithBadPublicity Eula]], Jean has much on her plate as Acting Grand Master, not to mention all the problems that come form most of the rank-and-file Knights, who aren't exactly the cream of the crop. The only Knights she doesn't need to worry about are Albedo, Sucrose (who reports to Albedo), and Mika (who reports to Eula). Her Story Quest has the Traveler help her out with tasks so she can take a much-needed break.
* BilingualBonus: The modern English name for dandelions came from a corruption of ''dent de lion'', meaning "lion's tooth", because their leaves very vaguely look like sharp teeth. It's why Jean has a double motif of dandelions and lions.
* BoringButPractical: Compared to many other 5★ units, and even among Anemo Vision holders, Jean's kit is no-frills and forgoes pure damage-dealing in favor of striking a balance between offense and healing. However, said simplicity makes her a reliable party member. The most unusual thing in her arsenal is her ability to hold enemies in place with her charged attack and Skill, and her ability to get a team through just about any situation may very well be invaluable.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Jean does not hesitate to help someone if it is for the right reasons, and she also expects her fellow knights to do the same. Only [[ExtremeDoormat Noelle]] outmatches her in this regard.

* CombatMedic: Jean is a close-range fighter who wields a sword, but she is also a decent healer. Notably, her Ascension stat is Healing Bonus percentage (5.5–22%); her Burst summons an AreaOfEffect that simultaneously heals allies and damages enemies inside; and her first-ascension passive, ''Wind Companion'', grants her Normal Attack style, ''Favonius Bladework'', a 50% chance to heal the party. Both healing abilities scale off of her Attack stat (15% for the latter, while that for the former depends on Talent levels), so making her hit as hard as she can will help her healing.

* CorrallingVacuum: The charged version of her Skill pulls enemies towards her before she flings them back; this stance can last up to five seconds in exchange for consuming 20 Stamina per second (hence a maximum of 100).[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, its damage multiplier, whether tapped or charged, is 292–657%[[/note]] Her first Constellation upgrade, ''Spiraling Tempest'', increases its damage output by 40%, as well as pulling speed after at least one second of being held.

* CycleOfHurting: She is fully capable of inflicting this on small- to mid-sized enemies by using the held form of her Skill to toss foes straight up, [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou damaging them when they land]], then using her charged attack before they recover to suspend them in the air long enough for the Skill's cooldown to end. Rinse and repeat until her enemies are defeated or she runs out of stamina.
* DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Lands of Dandelion'', endows the Dandelion Field with a 40% Anemo Resistance penalty on enemies inside.
* DamageReduction: Her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Lion's Fang, Fair Protector of Mondstadt'', gives the Dandelion Field a 35% damage reduction buff for allies within its radius, active either as long as the Field is active or until the active character takes three hits (represented by three phantasmal dandelions orbiting the active character).

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Ellin seems to have it bad for the Acting Grand Master--she talks about training to be as strong as Jean in most of her dialogue, has Jean as an ImaginaryFriend during Venti's Story Quest (even though she should've grown past the imaginary friends stage a long time ago), and asks the Traveler on advice about whether she should anonymously give Jean a written love poem and dandelion bouquet for the Windblume Festival.

* FlowerMotifs: The dandelion, one of the national flowers of Mondstadt. One idle animation has her blow away a seedhead, features them in both her charged attack and Elemental Burst, uses the title of "Dandelion Knight," and dandelion seeds are among her level ascension materials.

* HeroWorshipper: Jean looks up to Vennessa, the original Dandelion Knight and founder of the Knights. Her fourth Character Story and Story Quest show that, whenever she finds herself lost or weary, she prays underneath the Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero, a great tree in the middle of the plains of Windrise where legend has it that Vennessa ascended to godhood for her feats. It's probably why her constellation is Leo Minor, the Lion Cub, since she works so hard on fulfilling the duties of her inherited title by becoming more like her hero.

* InternalHomage: Like many of the Mondstadt characters, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/d/d3/Party_Setup_Jean.gif/revision/latest?cb=20230816094142 her unique Party Setup animation is a reference to her portrait]].

* KingOfBeasts: Has a [[AnimalMotifs lion motif]] represented by her Constellation, Leo Minor, as well as one of her titles, "Lion of the South." Following her appointment as Acting Grand Master, she's also technically TheLeader of the skeleton staff in Mondstadt.

* LauncherMove: The charged form of her Normal Attack, ''Favonius Bladework'', is an upward thrust that launches any enemy, even larger ones, in midair so long as they are no more than twenty levels over her. Imbued with Anemo, [[NoGravityForYou it defies gravity]] as the target falls in slow motion instead of crashing straight down.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels its damage multiplier is 162.02–346.19% for her charged attack, an average of 59.88–127.89% per hit for her five-strike combo, and the common values for her plunge[[/note]]
* TheLeader: Current one for the remaining Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, and checking types II (level-headed), III (headstrong), and IV (charismatic). Jean is experienced, determined, brave, carries the team's responsibility, is driven by her duty to protect the city, is [[UniversallyBelovedLeader universally beloved by the people in Mondstadt]] (even by Diluc), and respected by the rest of the Knights to the point even their "less active" members, like [[BrilliantButLazy Lisa]], are [[MagneticHero inspired by her]].

* LegacyCharacter: The title of "Dandelion Knight" has been passed down to the most distinguished among the Knights of Favonius, with Jean being the latest in the line of titleholders first held by Vennessa, founder of the Knights.
* MeaningfulName: "Jean" is a derivation of the Hebrew name "Yochanan" (יוֹחָנָן), which means "God is gracious." Jean is a graceful young woman and a devout worshipper of Barbatos, to the point that [[spoiler:she is friends with his current identity, Venti]].
* MsFanservice: [[PlayingWithATrope While she is rather conservatively-dressed by this trope's standards]], Jean is still an attractive young woman who wears PaintedOnPants that [[LegFocus show off her legs]], as well as a low-cut top that gives a nice shot of her cleavage. Her large breasts are also prone to bouncing quite a bit during a few animations, to the point that they had to be toned down in a post-launch update. Her summer outfit, though lacking the cleavage, bares her legs. Jean ended up being one of the characters [[Creator/MiHoYo HoYoVerse]] had to redesign to comply with Chinese censorship laws, though while her alternate outfit is more formal, with a blouse-like garment that completely covers her chest, said outfit remains [[FormFittingWardrobe tight-fitting]].

* NumberTwo: She is a devotee of the teachings of Varka, the Knight of Boreas and Grand Master of the Knights; as the latter is currently away on an expedition with a vast majority of the Knights' manpower, Jean has been appointed interim leader over the remaining skeleton staff.
* OpenSecret: Following the events of the Mondstadt Archon Quest, Jean's official report skips over many details regarding [[spoiler:the nature of Dvalin/Stormterror's affliction]] so that the people can rest easy without the knowledge that [[spoiler:the dragon that terrorized them was one of the Four Winds]]. However, everyone in the Knights, as well as associates like Diluc (himself a former captain), knows the truth of the matter.
* PaintedOnPants: She's one of the few female characters who wears pants instead of shorts or bloomers, but they really look more like leggings than anything else, and the game lampshades this by occasionally giving Traveler the option to call her "Dandelion Tights."

* ParentalSubstitute: She treats Klee as her own daughter while under the Knights' watch (and it's not hard to read their relationship as Jean being an overworked mother who just doesn't have the capacity to oversee such an inventive, bold kid). Klee's sentences to "solitary confinement"[[note]]"reflection room" in the original Chinese version, as well as the Japanese translation[[/note]] turn out to be little more than groundings. This is lampshaded during the "Midsummer Island Adventure" event...

** Her titles "Lionfang Knight" and "Dandelion Knight" basically mean the same thing; the word "dandelion" is derived from the French phrase "dent de leon," meaning "lion's tooth."
** "Lionfang" and "Dandelion" are both "Löwenzahn" in German, so the German translation merged both the "Dandelion Knight" and the "Lionfang Knight" titles into one; at the end of her Story Quest you have the option to call her either, but in the German translation, you have the choice to call her "gentle" or "fierce" instead.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite having to account for political motivations and the tense situation between Mondstadt and the Fatui, Jean is willing to take direct action when needed and approves of doing whatever is necessary to protect the City and its people, including going with the Traveler, a newly-arrived outsider, and Diluc, a former Knight who resigned in protest years ago over an incident of corruption, to the decisive battle with Stormterror.

* TheReliableOne: Her second Character Story says that people rely on her to solve their problems, however unrelated it is from a knight's matters, to the point where "Jean is so reliable" is a common saying in Mondstadt.
* SameSurnameMeansRelated: Averted--she uses her mother Frederica's surname, while her younger sister Barbara uses that of their father, Seamus Pegg.

* SickEpisode: Her Story Quest starts with her fainting from exhaustion just before she accepts a list of commissions from the Traveler.

* StabTheSky: Whereas most sword units perform a quick double-slash for their charged attacks, Jean's is instead a rapid upward stab that launches her foes in midair.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jean and Barbara have similar blue eyes and blonde hair, though Barbara's hair is a lighter shade of blonde.
* SurpriseParty: Near the end of her Story Quest, Jean is summoned to an emergency at Angel's Share... which turns out to be a thank-you party held by the Knights of Favonius, including Barbara, Venti, and Diluc.

* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Everyone in Mondstadt has nothing but the utmost respect for Jean for her tireless efforts to keep the region as safe as possible. Even Diluc, who normally treats the Knights with disdain, respects her. At the end of her Story Quest, the other characters throw her a party in Angel's Share to show how much they appreciate her.

** In both cutscenes and promotional art, Jean is often depicted wielding the Favonius Sword (4★). Apart from befitting her position of leadership within the Knights of Favonius, combat-wise it is a decent weapon for her kit, with its Ascension substat of Energy Recharge (13.3–61.3%) and its "Windfall" passive, which gives her critical hits a 60–100% chance to generate Elemental Particles that regenerate 6 Energy, triggered at least every twelve seconds, allowing her to quickly trigger her Burst.
** Jean is also partially associated with the Skyward Blade (5★), which is the 5★ sword she uses as a Trial character in her Story Quest, one of the earliest weapons introduced in the game. Its Ascension substat is Energy Recharge (12–55.1%), and its "Sky-piercing Fang" passive increases its wielder's Critical Rate by 4–8% and bestows upon them the Skypiercing Might state for twelve seconds whenever they trigger their Burst, which increases their Movement and Attacking Speed by 10% each, as well as allows their subsequent normal and charged attacks to deal extra damage equivalent to 20–40% of their Attack stat. Apart from accelerating the charging rate of her Burst, it also further enhances both her damaging and healing potencies while said Burst is active.

** Jean is steadfast about keeping Mondstadt safe at the cost of her personal wellbeing--according to Lisa, Varka being demanding towards her and not acknowledging her accomplishments once likely contributed to her becoming this. {{Justified|Trope}}, given she's the Acting Grand Master for the Knights. Though the grind finally catches up to her in her Story Quest, where she collapses from exhaustion and is forced to take a day off.

Albedo puts his alchemic knowledge to practice by creating a hostile environment with rapid, relentless bursts of Geo energy. His Elemental Skill, ''Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma'', creates the same-named flower-shaped Geo construct that damages surrounding enemies and creates a force field that kindles Transient Blooms that deal Geo damage in tandem with regular attacks from allies within its radius, as well as serves as a floating platform for allies to launch plunging attacks from. His Elemental Burst, ''Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide'', is a burst of crystals over a wide area, which can also unleash seven bursts of Fatal Blossoms that deal additional damage should it be unleashed within the Solar Isotoma's field.[[note]]When fully upgraded, the Solar Isotoma can now confer a damage boost to the party's plunging attacks or whenever they are protected with Shields, and Transient Blossoms can now deal more damage against foes with less than half their HP, restore some of Albedo's Energy, and gather him up to four stacks of Fatal Reckoning which are consumed to boost the overall damage of his Burst, which in turn can now boost the party's Elemental Mastery.[[/note]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:The end of the "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms" event is deliberately ambiguous as to whether "Subject 1" Albedo or "Subject 2" Albedo was victorious in their fight, or perhaps if both are still alive.]]

* AreaOfEffect: His Skill creates a field which for half a minute augments allies' attacks with Transient Blossoms (with at least 2-second intervals) that deal Geo damage that scale off of Albedo's Defense stat, in addition to the Solar Isotoma turning into an improvised floating platform should the active character step on it. If he unleashes his Burst within, the field will also trigger seven bursts of Fatal Blossoms that deal additional wide-ranging Geo damage.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, the Skill's initial attack has a 130.4–293.4% damage multiplier, while Transient Blossoms deal damage equivalent to 133.6–300.6% of his Defense stat; as for his Burst, it has a damage multiplier of 367.2–826% for the initial strike and 72–162% for each Fatal Blossom strike[[/note]] His fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Descent of Divinity'', adds a 30% damage boost to the party's plunging attacks, hence incentivizing players to make good use of the improvised platform, and his sixth, ''Dust of Purification'', adds a 17% boost to the party's damage output whenever they are protected by Shields.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He's not the captain of the Investigation Team for nothing, as "Hues of the Violet Garden" gives him an opportunity to demonstrate his detective skills.
** When Venti is suspected of being involved in the theft of a book shipment, Albedo not only locates his invitation letter just by listening to Venti's activities while aboard the ship he stowed away on, he then uses Venti's testimony to deduce a few things about the theft, despite the latter not hearing anything overtly suspicious.

** Albedo is the one to point out the possible hidden meaning behind the words said by Kazuha's great-grandfather to his own son, which eventually leads to uncovering the truth about the downfall of the Kaedehara clan.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a soft-spoken, pleasant person to be around, but the "Chalk Prince and the Dragon" event shows that he can be downright [[TranquilFury icy when mad]].

* BirdsOfAFeather: Albedo at least sees the Traveler as one, as they're both outlanders to the people of Teyvat.

* CoolBigBro: While he and Klee are not biologically related, Klee's mother Alice took him in, and he grew to see himself as an older brother figure to Klee. This is part of the reason Klee respects him.
* CreatingLife: His style of alchemy allows him to breathe life into paintings and revitalize dead plants into sprouting new foliage. Portrayed in one of his idle animations where he catches a dry twig in midair and makes it bloom green again, only for it to disintegrate back into dust when he lets it go.

* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly, Albedo is more than capable of some snarky retorts, able to keep up with Kaeya in SnarkToSnarkCombat. Bonus points for [[TheStoic his voice tone]] enabling textbook monotone delivery.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Prior to Hu Tao's debut (who set the tradition of Wish banners for all limited-time 5★ characters running alongside those of a specific 5★ weapon more-or-less tailored to their fighting style), Albedo stands out as, to date, the only such 5★ unit without a signature 5★ weapon while the others did [[note]]Venti and Tartaglia would later get theirs; Klee, Xiao, and Ganyu would settle with having theirs from the Standard Banner; and Zhongli would settle with having the aesthetically matching Vortex Vanquisher (a 5★ weapon belonging to the "Liyue" weapon series) as his signature weapon[[/note]].

** At the end of the event, after absorbing the life force of the Festering Desire, a cursed sword extracted from the dark dragon Durin, he claims that the energy resonates with his "fundamental nature." [[spoiler:Durin, like Albedo himself, was another creation of Rhinedottir.]]
** After they part ways, Albedo muses that the Traveler might be the one to stop him in the event he loses control of himself. [[spoiler:Considering what happened to his fellow homunculi, Durin and the Fell Flower, his apprehensions about himself are not unjustified.]]
** Albedo's character trailer, as well as the flavor text of the Cinnabar Spindle, the free giveaway sword of the "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms" event, imply that [[spoiler:there are two Albedos. Come the latter event, the seemingly antagonistic "Albedo" is revealed to be a Fell Flower, a mutant Cryo Whopperflower that has gained the ability to take a human guise, while Albedo, whose likeness it took, was tasked with hunting down all of Rhinedottir's faulty creations. The end of the event reveals there was a ''third'' Albedo who created the whopperflower in the first place]].

* GatheringSteam: His second Constellation upgrade, ''Opening of Phanerozoic'', generates up to four stacks of Fatal Reckoning whenever Transient Blossoms are triggered, which are then consumed whenever he triggers his Burst to enhance the potency of the main damage and subsequent bursts of Fatal Blossoms equivalent to 30% of his Defense stat apiece (to a maximum of 120%).
* GemstoneAssault: His Burst summons an array of large crystals around him that damage surrounding enemies, with additional shockwaves generated when cast within the field of the Solar Isotoma.

* InterfaceSpoiler: It's made explicit as early as Albedo's Story Quest that he is NotQuiteHuman, but precisely what flavor of that he is is not established until later storylines. That said, he is one of only three characters to have ever not visibly breathed in Dragonspine[[note]]The others being the Raiden Shogun and the Wanderer; Albedo was later changed to visibly breathe in v1.3[[/note]], and the name of Albedo's fourth-ascension passive can give the game away early.
* LovedByAll: According to other characters', Albedo is immensely popular around Mondstadt. Even Klee listens to him, and Diluc, who otherwise distrusts the Knights, trusts him with matters relating to Ley Line abnormalities. Only Rosaria is wary of him due to his "outlander" status, and Venti himself is worried that he might potentially be a MadScientist.

* MeaningfulName: "Albedo" (Latin, "whiteness") is one of the stages of alchemical creation of a Philosopher's Stone. His character story throws allusion to it: from Rhinedottir, he studied an ancient alchemical art [[spoiler:of Khaenri'ah]] that allows one to create life; among the notes that he reads, there's "Chalk is the spotless soil, and was used to make primordial man" and "from soil was birthed chalk," referring to the process of albedo, wherein impurities from the initial, impure state of nigredo are cleansed. Similarly, his PenName "Calx" is Latin for chalk. In addition, his association with the color white is also reflected in the name of his Normal Attack style, ''Favonius Bladework - Weiss'' (the latter meaning "white" in German).[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, his damage multipliers are an average 46.55–99.464% per strike of his five-hit combo, 107.5–229.69% for his two-hit charged attack, and the standard values for his plunging attack[[/note]]
* MercyKillArrangement: He makes a one-sided version of this with the Traveler at the end of his Story Quest. [[spoiler:After the Traveler left him, he hopes that the former, as a fellow "outlander," can stop him if he ever goes berserk and potentially attempts to destroy Mondstadt.]]

** He and the Wanderer wear clothing with a predominantly white/black/blue color scheme, [[spoiler:were created after the Cataclysm with Khaenri'ahn arts, have a DistinguishingMark hinting at their [[ArtificialHuman synthetic nature]], were abandoned by their female creators and later adopted by said creators' female acquaintances with PointyEars in a foreign land]], are "princes" of sorts, and are proficient with a sword. Albedo is also concerned about [[spoiler:losing control and destroying Mondstadt while Yae once said that the Wanderer was a disaster waiting to happen (and he did cause trouble in both Inazuma and Sumeru).]] However, Albedo [[spoiler:(or more appropriately, "Subject 1") is Rhinedottir's successful attempt at creating the "Primordial Human" after numerous accidents and failed creations like Subject 2]], while the Wanderer is [[spoiler:the prototype of the Raiden Shogun puppet]]. The Wanderer also prefers bitter tea while Albedo likes desserts, and the Wanderer's DistinguishingMark is located at the nape of his neck while Albedo's mark is at the front of his neck.

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:"Shadow Amidst Snowstorms" has him describe himself as this almost word for word.]]
* OneTwinMustDie: Gold [[spoiler:sealed "Subject 2," her prototype of Albedo, within Durin, where he only wakes up hundreds of years after his creation]]. Upon seeing [[spoiler:"Subject 2" in Dragonspine, Albedo immediately draws his sword and pursues him. He later claims to have killed "Subject 2," though whether this is true or not is put into question at the end of the event, when Albedo acts OutOfCharacter.]]

* SituationalDamageAttack: Albedo's first-ascension passive, ''Calcite Might'', adds a 25% damage boost for Transient Blossoms against enemies with less than half their HP.
* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: He and his little-sister figure Klee are close to each other, which is somewhat reflected in that both their Ascension stats are Elemental Damage Bonus percentages for their respective elements (in Albedo's case, Geo), complete with identical values (7.2–28.8%).
* StatSticks: As a sub-DPS character whose Elemental Talents scale off of his Defense and isn't really meant for attacking regularly, Albedo doesn't really need a particularly high Attack stat on his weapons. Most notably, it's generally agreed that Harbinger of Dawn, a 3★ sword, is one of the better weapons to put on him since he benefits greatly from its innate boost to Critical Rate (10.2–46.9%), while also being able to ignore its weaker Attack stat and the HP requirement for its "Vigorous" passive (which provides another 14–28% Critical rate boost so long as the wielder's HP is over 90%). That and the below-mentioned Cinnabar Spindle specifically boosts Skill damage based on a fraction of his Defense.

* UtilityWeapon: His Skill creates a flower-like structure that can lift himself or his teammates to the air, allowing them to reach tall places easily or attack enemies from up above.

* TheAce: His official profile states that Kaeya can solve any problems and everyone in Mondstadt loves him.
* AdaptationDeviation: While both the Japanese and Korean dub stick to the original Chinese interpretation of Diluc and Kaeya as [[SwornBrothers sworn brothers]], the English localization uses the term "adoptive brothers" instead.
* AllThereInTheManual: The incident that drove him and his sworn brother Diluc apart receives elaboration late into their character stories, as well as in the official manga.
* AmbiguouslyBi: He flirts with women and men alike, primarily the Traveler. In the prequel webcomic, he also seemingly had something going on with a male servant. He also calls Albedo attractive in his original line about the latter.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin is darker than his compatriots, and his character profile refers to him having an "exotic" appearance. His character stories reveal he is from [[spoiler:Khaenri'ah]], which doesn't really mean much considering that several characters hailing from there introduced since launch have all been light skinned. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that Khaenri'ah took in people from many different nations, implying that Kaeya could be mixed... but also that all of the residents that weren't of pure Khaenri'ahn blood were turned into hilichurls after the cataclysm, muddying the waters further.]]

* AntiHero: A GuileHero who does what he does to keep Mondstadt safe, including manipulating his allies. He lampshades this in the official manga, calling himself and Diluc "anti-heroes with attitude problems."

* AwfulTruth: For a long time, Kaeya kept secret [[spoiler:his mission as a DoubleAgent from Khaenri'ah]], but since he was consumed by grief after his foster (and Diluc's biological) father Crepus died, [[spoiler:he revealed the truth to Diluc. This angered the latter as expected, and so the two of them clashed swords. It was at this moment when Kaeya received his Cryo Vision]].

** Kaeya's Skill can reliably create frozen surfaces to traverse large bodies of water, helped by the fact that it only has a six-second-long cooldown time, two seconds shorter than that of its freezing effects on water. With the exception of Ganyu, Ayaka, Wriothesley, and Furina[[note]]Though not a Cryo character, her Skill lets her WalkOnWater, and can do so indefinitely due to its cooldown being shorter than the duration[[/note]] (all four of whom, being 5★ units, are harder to obtain in comparison), the other Cryo Vision holders aren't as adept at creating ice bridges due to their Talents' lengthier cooldown times, shorter durations of frozen surfaces, or both.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, it has a damage multiplier of 191.2–430%[[/note]]

* CleavageWindow: A rare male example. His outfit has a large cutout on the front that exposes part of his chest and while in formal wear in the webcomic, Kaeya also leaves his shirt unbuttoned the create this effect. However, images of him in the past suggest he used to dress more conservatively.

* CriticalHitClass: While his Ascension stat is neither Critical Rate nor Damage, instead being Energy Recharge, his first Constellation upgrade, ''Excellent Blood'', increases the Critical Rate of his normal and charged attacks by 15% against Cryo-affected enemies. Combined with weapons or Artifacts prioritizing that stat, a full Blizzard Strayer set, and/or Cryo Resonance, he has the potential to be a decent damage-dealer so long as Cryo is constantly applied, which is made easier to achieve with both his fast-charging Elemental Talents.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His foster father Crepus died in an ambush set up by the Fatui on the eighteenth birthday of his biological son (and Kaeya's sworn brother) Diluc. Kaeya not only arrived too late to protect Crepus, but was shocked that he would be desperate enough to use a Delusion. Not only that, it made him feel torn between [[spoiler:choosing to support Mondstadt or Khaenri'ah. Feeling that his foster father had shown him the love denied of him by his biological father, Kaeya chose to come clean to Diluc about what he truly is, and they clashed with each other because of it]]. Ever since then, he and Diluc had not been on good terms.
* DanceBattler: His Elemental Burst is called ''Glacial Waltz'', and his Normal Attack style, ''Ceremonial Bladework'', invokes swift movements, not unlike a dance.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, his damage multipliers are an average 65.962–140.936% per strike of his five-hit combo, 128.14–273.79% for his two-hit charged attack, and the standard values for his plunging attack[[/note]]
* DecoyBackstory: In his Story Quest, Kaeya claims that his grandfather was a pirate who hid an important treasure that only his family would know, and his EyepatchOfPower is supposedly inherited from him. In truth, it is but a bait for a Treasure Hoarder long in the Knight's most wanted list, and he decided to get the Traveler in on the fake treasure hunt [[ItAmusedMe for his pure amusement]]. [[spoiler:The third Traveler's Tale reveals that Kaeya is actually a Khaenri'ahn, whose distant ancestor Chlothar founded the Abyss Order.]]
* DefenseMechanismSuperpower: His fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Frozen Kiss'', automatically casts a shield whenever his HP falls below 20% (within at least one-minute intervals), which lasts until either after twenty seconds have passed or it has absorbed damage equivalent to 30% of his Max HP and enjoys a 250% efficiency against Cryo damage.

** In that where he and the Traveler get Venti to help Sister Grace with the amateur Church choir, Venti approaches Kaeya and questions his attempt to slip away quietly before everyone gets to sing. Kaeya tells Venti that the Anemo Archon already has many true believers that will earnestly worship him, and tries to give a plausible excuse that he prefers leaving before performances end, but the Traveler sees right through him. In response, Venti crafts the following poem for Kaeya, promising him that while he may be struggling with his unspoken burdens now, he will never be alone while he find his happiness.

** In that where he and the Traveler stay in Port Ormos, they participate in a stage play whose plot [[spoiler:is an allegory for Kaeya's situation, as both he and his role, Prince Qubad, were forced by their fathers to remain in a foreign land for the sake of their homeland. Some of the lines clearly hit too close for Kaeya's comfort as he falters when he has to recite Qubad's lament over his state. After the Traveler encourages Kaeya to face his fate, Kaeya continues his act as Qubad with renewed fevor, with his following lines applicable to both the prince and himself.]]
--->'''Prince Qubad:''' [[spoiler:"Fate means to send the machinations of war to every corner of the land, to fan the flames of conflict till they engulf the entire world... Fate would see my sword tainted with the blood of innocents, that the bright banner of my homeland might fly in every nation known to mankind. But I shall not bow to the will of fate. I am no pawn in heaven's plan."]]

* EyeScream: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Kaeya likes to mess with people and never tells the truth of why he wears an eyepatch, his namecard strongly implies that he is not actually missing an eye. Then the letters in "Hidden Strife" event reveal that [[spoiler:he got his eye scarred during his fight with Diluc, but not to the point of blindness. While Kaeya was already wearing the eyepatch for his own reasons, since that fight it also served to cover up the scar]].
* EyepatchOfPower: He wears a black eyepatch on his right eye. In his Story Quest, he claims he inherited it from his pirate grandfather. [[spoiler:Him secretly being from Khaenri'ah and Dainsleif's design hints it may also be hiding a monstrous mutation from the curse that all of Khaenri'ah continues to suffer under.]]
* FalseCause: In Kaeya's third Character Story, a young Knight notices how incidents of banditry in and around Mondstadt sharply fall whenever the "Death After Noon" wine is out of season. Unbeknownst to him, Kaeya is already dealing with such threats, but is more active in his job when his favorite wine is out of season.

* FighterMageThief: Among the three [[StarterMon starting characters]], Kaeya is the Fighter to Lisa's Mage and Amber's Thief, being the swordsman who has the best sprint stamina, whose Burst surrounds him with an OrbitingParticleShield, prioritizing getting into the thick of battle.
* FireIceLightning: Among the {{Starter Mon}}s, Kaeya enables Cryo-based reactions and is especially helpful for ice bridging over bodies of water.
* FlashStep: The fifth and final hit of the combo form of his Normal Attack style has him blink behind his target before striking. With good timing, he can use it to dodge incoming attacks or quickly jump onto a new target after defeating his current one.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: His claims to use his superior [[CunningLinguist "linguistic skills"]] to extract information from Fatui agents he's been cozying up to just ''barely'' qualifies as a double entendre, given his flirtatious nature and the highly suggestive delivery of the voice line.
* GuileHero: Kaeya is very good at social interactions and can predict people's reactions, making it easy for him to smooth-talk and charm his way into swaying allies and enemies alike into situations that benefit him. His Story Quest is a TreasureHuntEpisode which turns out to be a wild-goose chase meant to draw out Treasure Hoarders, which so happen to involve lying to the Traveler about the existence of a legendary sword, knowing they will go after it. The webcomic also has him dealing with the Fatui in an indirect manner by using Diluc as a scapegoat to prevent them from discrediting the Knights.

* HiddenInPlainSight: At the end of Diluc's Story Quest, Kaeya was in Angel's Share the whole time when Diluc created an alibi to get Huffman off his back. It's just that Diluc did not notice him at all, unaware that Kaeya had been spying on him all along.

* LifeDrain: His first-ascension passive, ''Cold-Blooded Strike'', restores his HP equivalent to 15% of his Attack stat whenever his Skill hits enemies. In Genius Invokation TCG, his Skill also restores 2 HP every time it is used.

* MundaneUtility: His Skill can be used to travel large bodies of water due to its short cooldown and unusually long freeze duration.
* MysteriousPast: His official profile hints that there is something more to this man aside from his talents. His character stories are even more vague, although they hint that he [[spoiler:came from Khaenri'ah]].

* TheOneGuy: At the time of the game's release, Kaeya was the sole male playable Knight (until Albedo come v1.2). Unless Aether is the Traveler, he is the only male character a player is guaranteed to gain; all other male characters are available only by the gacha system.
* OrbitingParticleShield: Played with, in that while it isn't defensive in nature, his Burst lets him summon three icicles that for eight seconds orbit around the active character and damage surrounding enemies.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, the icicles have a damage multiplier of 77.6–175%[[/note]] His second Constellation upgrade, ''Never-Ending Performance'', adds 2.5 seconds to its duration for every enemy defeated while it is active (to a maximum of fifteen seconds, meaning at least three enemies must be defeated to reach its maximum possible duration), and his sixth, ''Glacial Whirlwind'', adds a fourth icicle, as well as immediately recharges 15 Energy upon casting.
* OutGambitted: Kaeya believes Diluc is the Darknight Hero and sent Huffman to keep an eye on him at Angel's Share just before the Abyss Order's planned attack on Mondstadt to go after the vigilante. To keep his identity secret, Diluc creates a diversion and has his staff pose as patrons to create an alibi. However, Kaeya planned for this and reveals he snuck into the bar and saw everything, but decides to keep the secret after seeing his sworn brother finally accepting help from someone else.

* RediscoveringRootsTrip: During their meeting in Port Ormos, Kaeya relates to the Traveler that he attempted one of these as a child, shortly after his adoption. When he heard that merchants from Dawn Winery are headed for Sumeru, he stowed away in hopes of searching [[spoiler:his native Khaenri'ah]]. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Crepus quickly sent word that his foster son was missing, and came to take him home before he could get very far.]]

* SituationalSword: His first Constellation upgrade, ''Excellent Blood'', increases the Critical Rate of the combo and charged forms of his Normal Attack style by 15% against enemies affected with Cryo.

* StarterMon: Twofold.
** He permanently joins the party during the Mondstadt Archon Quest as one of the first three units the player gets.
** In Genius Invokation TCG, he is also among the first three character cards the player receives, along with Diluc and Sucrose.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. Kaeya is firmly on the side of justice, but believes the ends justify the means and is known to employ questionable tactics that are frowned upon by Jean. In the past, he's set off a Ruin Guard to cut off a bandit despite knowing it could harm his fellow Knights and enjoys the looks of fear on both the faces of his enemies and allies during battle. Paimon even states he comes across as a shady guy.
* TokenGoodTeammate: On the flip side, he's so far one of the few Khaenri'ahns to actually be one of the good guys (besides Albedo and Dainsleif), considering that [[spoiler:the majority of the nation's citizens were transformed into either hilichurls or members of the Abyss Order, and that Pierro, a fellow Khaenri'ahn, would later go on to found [[CorruptBureaucrat the Fatui]].]]

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Unlike other Hangout Events, Kaeya's one starts with a filled [[RelationshipValues Heartbeat Value]] and never changes while playing through all available routes, so whatever dialogue the Traveler chooses will not affect his mood.
* VillainousLegacy: His heritage and the legacy associated with it have long been a source of conflict for Kaeya, though he claims to have little interest in the past. [[spoiler: When Dainsleif reveals that his ancestor founded the Abyss Order, Kaeya is quick to deny having any ties to that organization. He flippantly rejects the idea that his heritage has anything to do with him, though Mona's voiceline about him warns that the legacy of his past ''will'' catch up to him eventually]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Kaeya attacks Collei after she murders two Snezhnayan diplomats in the Black Fire Incident on behalf of the Fatui. However, he is rather disturbed when the young girl abruptly stops fighting and ''invites'' him kill her.
* XMarksTheSpot: His story quest is a TreasureHuntEpisode that involves finding treasures using photographic clues, such as a picture of a windmill, or a map with a red "X" mark on it.

The cheerful, sole Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, trained by her grandfather in the art of scouting. She is the very first Teyvatian the Traveler and Paimon meet and befriend, and becomes an ally for them alongside the rest of the Knights during the "Stormterror" incident.\\

** At the very start of the game, Amber is the one who introduced the Traveler to Mondstadt as well as the Knights of Favonius, vouching her trust on them at a time when tensions were already high in Mondstadt thanks to the Stormterror crisis and the Fatui's encroachment on domestic affairs.
** In addition, Amber has also stood up for pariahs twice:

*** Collei was feared and hated by everyone because she was cursed, but Amber made her feel safe, helped cure her, and became her first true friend with whom she kept correspondences long after returning to Sumeru. Amber was such a role model that, as a teenager, Collei would also take up archery in a reconnaissance role for her local security force, as well as wear her Dendro Vision on her belt like Amber does.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: No {{pun}} intended! Amber is straightforward and earnest to a fault, and sometimes distracted by things when she should be working on something, but her earnest personality ends up helping her tame and be friends with Collei, a young outsider who had faced a harsh past full of betrayal and abuse. She also has good intuition, and as an Outrider, she is quite competent in scouting and spying on enemies.

* ButThouMust: While Amber's story Quest seems optional to a new player at first, completing it is the only way to unlock Razor's Story Quest which is mandatory to progress to Archon Quest Chapter I Act IV, meaning that once you have the option to do Amber's Quest, it's better to complete it right away.
* ButtMonkey: She often ends up becoming the butt of jokes coming from her own earnest personality. In official gameplay videos, she often receives hits from monsters attacks.
* CrutchCharacter: Amber is the very first Pyro and Bow unit you get. While her sheer utility in lighting torches and innate ability to slow the Stamina consumption of gliding can help with exploration, her lack of sheer firepower means many players will bench her from the field the moment they roll better Pyro and/or Bow units.
* DrawAggro: Her Skill has her toss Baron Bunny to distract enemies before [[ActionBomb exploding]] to deal wide-ranging Pyro damage either after eight seconds have passed or it has taken sufficient damage.[[note]]Depending on her Skill's Talent levels, Baron Bunny's HP is equivalent to 41.36–93.1% of Amber's, while it has a damage multiplier of 123.2–277%[[/note]] Her second Constellation upgrade ''Bunny Triggered'', allows Amber to manually detonate it with a charged shot to its foot for thrice the damage output, while her fourth, ''It's Not Just Any Doll...'', decreases its cooldown time by 20% (i.e., from fifteen seconds to twelve), as well as adds an extra charge.

* FacingYourFears: Her favorite fairytale book, ''Wind, Courage and Wings'', has AnAesop that reeads "it's courage that allows you to fly, not the winds." This motivated her to overcome her fears and become the best glider in Mondstadt. In her Story Quest, where she is chasing a glider-wielding Treasure Hoarder named "Raptor," he taunts her that she or the Traveler will not be able to get to his place, as a ''vast'' chasm separates them. While the three are cautious at first, Amber, the Traveler, and Paimon decides that there is no other way but forward, and so they muster up the courage to do the leap of faith... and find out that there is an updraft near the platform Raptor is standing on, allowing them to catch up to him. She later points out that he would not be so smug if he did not know about it.

* FighterMageThief: Among the three [[StarterMon starting characters]], Amber is the Thief to Kaeya's Fighter and Lisa's Mage. She can glide farther, her arrows burn torches to solve puzzles, and she can send decoys to avoid direct combat.
* FireIceLightning: Among the {{Starter Mon}}s, Amber shoots arrows charged with Pyro and throw explosive stuffed toys at her enemies.

* InvisibleParents: Amber's parents are never mentioned in the game, only her grandfather, who was the one who raised her.
* LastOfHerKind: Amber is the last Outrider, once an elite and prestigious scouting force of the Knights that was largely deserted following her grandfather's departure and the general lack of personnel skilled enough to pass on the tradition. Nevertheless, she takes it in stride and is immensely proud of her station.

* LeapOfFaith: In her Story Quest, a huge chasm separates her and the Traveler from the thief Raptor. When they thought that there is no logical method to get across, Amber insists on gliding because it is the only way left. It turns out that there is a wind current near the end, which allows them to catch up to Raptor.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Due to her status as a CrutchCharacter, Amber does not see much use in high-level teams, and not even her Ascension stat of Attack percentage (6–24%) can help her much, but her simple skillset that made her a good starter also makes her a good user of Elegy for the End. She can function as a high-risk, high-reward support as a result, which is just about the only scenario in which Amber can be described as DifficultButAwesome. However, as this is not an inherent part of her kit, she may potentially be eclipsed in this role.

* MsFanservice: Albeit [[DownplayedTrope a much more conservatively dressed example]] compared to the rest of the cast, Amber does set the tone going forward as the first character the player meets. She wears an outfit that clings to her curves, emphasizing her HartmanHips and exposing a small CleavageWindow as well as [[SexyBacklessOutfit her back]]. Her short shorts and thigh-high boots emphasize her butt and legs, respectively. She ended up being one of the characters that [=HoYoVerse=] had to redesign to comply with Chinese censorship laws.
* {{Multishot}}: Her first Constellation upgrade, ''One Arrow to Rule Them All'', lets her fire an extra arrow with her aimed form of her Normal Attack style, ''Sharpshooter'', with damage worth a fifth of the original arrow.[[note]]Depending on her Normal Attack's Talent levels, her damage multipliers are an average 45.064–95.428% per strike of her five-hit combo and the standard values for both her charged and plunging attacks[[/note]]

* RainOfArrows: Her Burst shoots up an arrow which rains down eighteen flaming arrows that strike at random over a wide area for two seconds.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, each arrow has a damage multiplier of 28.08–63.2%[[/note]] Her first-ascension passive, ''Every Arrow Finds Its Target'', increases its Critical Rate by 10% and its damage radius by 30%, while her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Wildfire'', allows it to grant allies within its damage radius a 15% boost to both Attack and movement speed for ten seconds.
* RaisedByGrandparents: It was her grandfather that brought her up and inspired her to become an Outrider.

** Amber's part-Liyuan heritage is reflected in the fact that the Pyro Regisvine, the normal boss from which she gets some of her level Ascension materials, is located in Liyue.

* StarterMon: She's the very first recruitable character you get, aside from the Traveler.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In Amber's Story Quest, the Traveler learns that using their Wind Glider in Mondstadt requires a license, and they have been breaking the law the whole time. While trying to take the gliding exam, they nearly get arrested, and Amber, who was proctoring the test, must explain the situation to the guard. She herself must keep retaking the test because she keeps losing her license due to reckless flying; fortunately, [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality you do not have to worry about that]].

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Players bench her in favor of the more powerful characters. But she has a use for dealing with the Electro Hypostasis's healing crystals. They are only vulnerable to elemental damage, and her charged shots and Baron Bunny can quickly take them down in time while other characters may need to rely on Elemental Talents. Against the Cryo Regisvine, she can also easily bring down its weak points whenever its area attack makes the entire battlefield a blizzard save for a single safe zone. Her longer gliding time, reliable source of Pyro with no cooldown limitations, and the ability to snipe at Ruin Guards' eyes makes her a very handy party member when traversing the hazards of Dragonspine.

** Some puzzles require two {{Pressure Plate}}s to be activated altogether. If you do not wish to use the Geo Traveler, Baron Bunny can activate one plate while she stands on the other.
* WeakButSkilled: Despite her role in the story, Amber is offensively the second weakest character in the launch lineup behind Barbara due to her poor stat growth and issues involving her Elemental Talents, which quickly led to her getting a bad reputation among players. However, as previously mentioned, she is among the most useful characters for exploration thanks to the various puzzles that require Pyro and/or Bow units, and a passive that reduces the Stamina cost of gliding, not to mention that despite her low offensive stats, she can still be useful for crowd control.

'''Constellation:''' Trifolium, the Clover\\\

Klee happily lobs bunny-shaped bombs and fires lasers, either through the respective combo and charged forms of her Normal Attack style, ''Kaboom!'', or her Elemental Talents--Her Skill, ''Jumpy Dumpty'', launches a large bomb up to twice in succession which, after bouncing twice, splits into eight mines which either explode when they touch enemies or detonate after a period of time, while her Burst, ''Sparks 'n' Splash'', summons a bunny-shaped bomb that disperses into a quartet of lasers that keep firing on her foes so long as she is on the field.[[note]]When fully upgraded, all her attacks can now be randomly augmented with lasers; her Normal Attack style and Skill can now randomly produce an Explosive Spark that is consumed to boost the damage output and negate the Stamina cost of her next charged attack, which can now restore Energy for the party should it score a critical hit; the mines left by her Skill can now inflict a Defense penalty; and her Burst can now confer a boost to the party's Pyro damage, periodically restore the party's Energy, and explode on surrounding foes whenever Klee is switched out.[[/note]]

* AesopAmnesia: No matter how many times Jean throws her into solitary confinement, as soon as she gets out, Klee goes right back to her MadBomber antics, in particular her hobby of bomb fishing at Starfell Lake, the one activity she will keep defying rules for even if she is mindful of all other restrictions. By the end of her Story Quest, Jean intuits that one such bomb which an Abyss Mage stole was one that Klee intended to sneakily blast fish with.
* AllLovingHero: She treats everyone with love and affection, with Kaeya stating that Klee's innocence helps brings out the best in others.
* AnimalMotifs: Bunnies, similarly to Amber. Her stuffed animal, Dodoco, is a CartoonCreature with discernible bunny-like features, and the bombs that Klee summons are bunny-shaped.

* AwesomeButImpractical: As a Pyro Catalyst unit who applies Pyro in the form of bombs, Klee can make explosions to her heart's content, as well as constantly apply Pyro that (combined with Electro) can make ''more'' explosions, thus more damage, with the caveat that said reaction would blow enemies away from her so she has to run up to them at best, or make her suffer from severe KnockBack at worst. With Klee's high Stamina consumption and low base HP, [[UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay due to being physically a small child]], Klee has a very hard time exploiting the knockback potential of Overload reactions.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Given how young she is, most of the other teens or adults immediately go out of their way to look after her or make sure she doesn't hurt others with her bombs. During the "Midsummer Island Adventures" event [[BigBrotherInstinct Razor and Albedo]] receive letters from the "Dodo-King" that coerced them to come to the Golden Apple Archipelago by claiming he was holding Klee hostage or she was in danger. Jean in particular mainly goes on the quest so there's someone to look after Klee going off on what's arguably a dangerous trek.
* BadassAdorable: She's one of the cutest and most energetic members of the playable cast, acting like she does not have a care in the world. But packed in that small and unassuming frame is a girl with a heavy amount of (literal) firepower, capable of devastating both large groups of enemies and entire locations through plentiful use of her various forms of heavy explosives.
* BeamSpam: Her Burst summons a quartet of lasers that fire all over nearby enemies and deal wide-ranging Pyro damage that last until either ten seconds have passed or she is switched out.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, each laser strike has a damage multiplier of 42.64–95.94%[[/note]]
* BigBrotherWorship: While she and Albedo aren't related, she clearly looks up to him, even addressing him as "gege" in the original Chinese dub and "onii-chan" in Japanese. The feelings are mutual on Albedo's side; during the "Midsummer Island Adventure" event, the Dodo-King managed to coerce him to come to the Golden Apple Archipelago by claiming he has Klee hostage. In the "Hues of the Violet Garden" event, she directly refers to him as her older brother, and in "Windblume's Breath," Albedo refers to her as his younger sister and says it's only natural for him to be protective of her.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Needless to say, she and Yoimiya quickly get along upon meeting during the Irodori Festival, despite not being able to display their passion for explosives, due to their similar personalities, likely helped by Yoimiya being a FriendToAllChildren. It's to the point that they're able to make the most out of the festival by writing a book about Dodoco together and submitting it to get published.
* BornLucky: The Knights of Favonius certainly think so, considering she has never once found herself caught in the blast radius of her own bombs. She also has a FourLeafClover motif. Not even [[TheJinx Bennett]] can make her day a bad one since Klee finds more treasure when she goes on adventures with him. She also usually gets away with blowing things up, only getting sent to solitary confinement for a few days as a consequence.

* CheerfulChild: Klee's disposition is not much different from any other child. She is, essentially, a normal cheerful, happy little girl. That likes to blow things up.
* ChekhovsGun: There's a dug-up spot in the Whispering Woods marked with a treasure sign, but interacting with it does nothing. It is Klee's buried treasure, and you must visit this area as a part of her Story Quest.

** She sometimes forgets that bombs hurt others, and when she does hurt someone (even if they are clearly antagonists), Klee becomes upset. Her story entry mentions that she is not a bad kid by nature, but her unbound playfulness tends to result in her acting impulsively.

* ChildSoldier: In a roundabout, well-intentioned means of protection, Klee is already a frontline warrior for the Knights for such a child like her.

* DamageIncreasingDebuff: Klee's second Constellation upgrade, ''Explosive Frags'', allows her Skill's mines to inflict a 23% Defense penalty for ten seconds on enemies struck.

* DisappearedDad: In addition to the situation with her mother Alice, there has been no discussion ''whatsoever'' about her father outside of the fact that "he exists" and that he was evidently involved in entrusting Klee to the Knights (though a few other sources make it sound exclusively like Alice's idea), and whoever he is, he's obviously not around to help raise her. Her voice line about her parents clarifies that both of them are "the famousest" adventurers, and her fifth Character Story implies he's with his wife in their journeys.

* TheDreaded: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Even though Klee is feared by Mondstadters as a PersonOfMassDestruction on par with her mother Alice, she cannot even hope to be compared to her. Every time Klee destroys something, Albedo reminds himself that Klee's destructive capabilities are nothing compared to Alice.
* DubPronunciationChange: In the German-themed nation of Mondstadt, Klee's name should be pronounced like "kleh" since it's the German word for "clover." The Japanese and Korean dubs pronounce it the German way, but in the English and Chinese dub it is pronounced like "tree".
* ElementalPersonalities; An adorable, little girl who's full of energy and, appropiately enough for [[MadBomber her bomb-making antics]], has a [[PlayingWithFire Pyro]] vision. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in that her powers manifest more as [[HavingABlast explosive]] rather than outright fire-elemental.

* EnergyWeapon: Her charged attacks shoot lasers that creates strong explosions on impact, while her Burst lets her summon "drones" that shoot lasers for ten seconds. Her first constellation upgrade, ''Chained Reactions'', gives the combos of her Normal Attack style a chance to be augmented with a laser attack (starting at 0%, with an 8% increment whenever the attack fails to summon a laser, which will then be reset once she succeeds in doing so).
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Razor's first Story Quest, he mentions a "burny girl" who sometimes helps him hunt, who Paimon assumes is Amber. Amber makes it clear she has never even heard of Razor, leaving Paimon and the Traveler confused as to who he is talking about. Klee's Story Quest becomes available at Adventure Rank 32, and her banner released just under a month after the game's launch.
* FreeRangeChildren: Needless to say, she has a remarkable degree of latitude and responsibility for a child. Even her profile notes it is unusual.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: For all of Klee's talk about how she will receive harsh punishments for using her explosives within the city walls of Mondstadt, she can hurl bombs all over the city, even directly in front of other Knights, without consequence. Her Skill is even one of the few that people will applaud to instead of being startled at when she performs it near them.

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She loves stuffed dolls, considers them her treasures, and has one always attached to her bag. That one has a name, "Dodoco", that she picked herself, and her mother made it for her as her "best friend" so that she will not be lonely. Problem is that her treasured stuffed animals are also ''[[MadBomber explosive]]''.
* GlassCannon: The damage a well-built Klee can do is among the highest in the game, but her Defense and HP are too low to give her a good chance of survival if the surviving enemies manage to hit her multiple times.
* GooGooGodlike: Though she looks and acts [[VagueAge like a five-year-old]], she is one of the most powerful Vision holders in Mondstadt, rivaling Diluc, Eula, Kaeya, and Jean. The latter two must keep a close eye on her to prevent her from accidentally hurting or killing someone with her explosives. Her Vision story states that she got it at an early age.

* HavingABlast: Her [[PlayingWithFire Pyro]] powers manifest in the form of lobbing bombs and firing lasers, either through her Normal Attack style or her Elemental Talents.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, her Normal Attack style's damage multipliers are an average 74.827–142.47% per strike of her three-hit combo, 157.36–299.61% for her charged attack, and the standard values for her plunging attack[[/note]] Her fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Sparkly Explosion'', allows her Burst to end with a literal bang whenever she is immediately switched out, dealing wide-ranging Pyro damage based on a sizable 555% of her Attack stat.

* IdiotHair: Klee sports a prominent cowlick on the right side of her haircut, making it one of the first cues that you are in for a real treat with Klee's goofiness and bombing shenanigans.
* InsistentTerminology: Klee's various wrongdoings and subsequent punishments are always described in terms of criminal offenses and sentences even when in practice things aren't nearly as serious and formal. For example, Jean will sentence her to solitary confinement for damaging public property, i.e., Klee is being grounded for throwing her bombs in Starfell Lake again.

* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: While her mother Alice has not appeared in the game yet as of this writing, some characters and flavor text note that Klee inherited her mother's enthusiastic, if rather destructive, personality:
** The Teyvat Travel Guide series that she wrote shows that she can be [[PersonOfMassDestruction very destructive]].

** Alice explicitly encouraged Klee's explosive tendencies and both got reprimanded by the Knights of Favonius.

** Albedo says in his line about her that while she is destructive, it is nothing compared to what Alice can do.
* LittlePeople: This mixes a bit with VagueAge; other characters refer to her as a child, but it is a bit unclear if her people (as the ears are an obvious giveaway she is not ''homo sapiens'') are naturally short on top of that. Either way, in practical terms she is only a bit taller than waist-height to most others. [[spoiler:In the Chinese and Japanese scripts for the "Midsummer Island Adventure" event, Klee is stated to be an elf.]]

* ManaDrain: Klee's fourth-ascension passive, ''Sparkling Burst'', restores 2 Energy to the party whenever the charged form of her Normal Attack style lands critical hits.

* MissingMom: Klee's entire situation stems from the fact that her biological mother, Alice, entrusted her daughter to the care of the Knights of Favonius while she went off to do... something. As a result, Jean has had to step in as Klee's surrogate mother, and it has not been without friction (although Klee is incredibly happy in Mondstadt). Precisely what is going on with Alice is still a mystery. This is mitigated during the "Midsummer Island Adventure" event, when it is revealed that Alice still keeps watch over her daughter with her magic, even if she isn't physically there for her, and ultimately subverted come the "Summer Fantasia" event, when Alice returns (albeit offscreen) to take Klee with her on a vacation, as well as visited Venti to ask him for a small favor to pass a device to the Traveler before she and Klee left elsewhere.

* NightmareFetishist: She thinks the Abyss Mages are cute, and who thinks ''[[MadBomber explosive stuffed animals]]'' are a promising idea? Her final ascension voice line has her saying that the sound of explosions does not scare her at all, and she only realized later that it is not supposed to be normal.

* ParentalSubstitute: As noted in Jean's entry, in the absence of Klee's biological mother Alice, she had to serve as one for Klee. In addition, Albedo acts as her older-brother figure, so he must also "most of his energy" watching Klee. ([[NoOSHACompliance And he also gives her gunpowder occasionally.]])
* PersonOfMassDestruction: From a comment in her gameplay rundown video and explained in her fourth story section, ''she's'' the reason the Stormbearer Mountains look more like cliffs nowadays, [[BullyingADragon hence Jean's (relative) lenience towards her makes sense]].
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Like Qiqi, do not let her tiny appearance fool you. Klee is one of the most powerful Knights of Favonius. Her charged attacks are one of the few that can knock over large enemies which tower over her, even Stonehide Lawachurls.

* ReducedManaCost: A variant--Klee's first-ascension passive, ''Pounding Surprise'', gives both her Normal Attack style and Skill a 50% chance to obtain a stack of Explosive Spark which can be consumed to negate the stamina cost of her next charged attack, as well as increase its damage potency by 50%.
* RegeneratingMana: Her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Blazing Delight'', regenerates 3 Energy for her allies every three seconds while her Burst is active (meaning that, given its ten-second-long duration, each ally regenerates a total of 9 Energy), in addition to a 10% boost to the party's Pyro Damage Bonus for ten seconds once the Burst ends.

* SentimentalHomemadeToy: Klee goes nowhere without Dodoco, a doll her sorceress mother Alice made for her. In the first Golden Apple Archipelago story, the plot involves someone named Dodo-king threatening to take Dodoco away from Klee as she is not worthy... turns out it was just Alice making sure that her little girl and her friends had a great summer vacation on some tropical islands.

** Remember how the game offhandedly mentions that Klee is the reason that the Stormbearer Mountains look more like cliffs nowadays? It gets integrated into gameplay as well. Klee's bombs deal a ''lot'' of damage to ore veins, enemy Geo constructs, and can gnaw into lawachurls' elemental armor much faster than anyone else can (especially the Frostarm variant). Who needs to slot for a pickaxe when Klee's around?

** She and her big-brother figure Albedo are close to each other, which is somewhat reflected in that both their Ascension stats are Elemental Damage Bonus percentages for their respective elements (in Klee's case, Pyro), complete with identical values (7.2–28.8%).
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: Razor offhandedly mentions a time she tried to help him hunt. Judging from his comments about setting the whole mountain on fire, you can guess what she did.

* ThrowDownTheBomblet: While her equipped weapon type is catalysts, she uses it to produce bombs to throw at enemies, either through the combo form of her Normal Attack style or her Skill.

* TrapMaster: Her Skill allows her to lob bunny-shaped bombs (up to twice in succession) which, after bouncing twice, disperses into eight smaller bombs that explode and deal wide-ranging Pyro damage either after fifteen seconds have passed or whenever they come into contact with enemies.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, its damage multipliers are 95.2–214.2% for the bounce and 32.8–73.8% for the mines[[/note]]

** Klee is loosely associated with the Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (5★), a 5★ catalyst that traditionally runs alongside her banner. Its Ascension substat is Critical Rate (7.2–33.1%), and its "Boundless Blessing" passive increases its wielder's Movement Speed by 10% and increases their Elemental Damage Bonus by 8–16% for every four seconds they are in combat, which can stack up to four times (hence a maximum of 32–64%) and lasts throughout the battle. This helps gradually increase the destructive potency of her bombs.
** The "Midsummer Island Adventure" limited-time event, where Klee is the focus character, introduces the Dodoco Tales (4★). Apart from being aesthetically matched to her fashion sense, as well as appearing to wield it for her Genius Invokation TCG character card, gameplay-wise it is also tailor-made for her, with its Ascension passive being Attack (12–55.1%), and whose "Dodoventure!" passive allows the combo forms of Normal Attack styles to increase the potency of charged forms by 16–32%, as well as allows such moves to increase its wielder's Attack stat by 8–16%, both for six seconds. This incentivizes Klee alternating between launching bombs and firing lasers.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She flirts with the Traveler regardless of their gender, constantly gushing about how cute they are. Her Story Quest involves tracking down overdue books, though she repeatedly describes it as a date, and there are dating sim-like actions the player must take, such as taking her out for lunch and buying a gift for her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lisa is comfortable to be around, but she takes her job as librarian very seriously; if you ever borrow a book from her library, don't ever let the deadline to return it pass you by. ''[[ScaryLibrarian She will hunt you down.]]''

* BoltOfDivineRetribution: The charged form of her Skill brings down a thunderbolt on enemies within its radius, with increased damage depending on the number of Conductive stacks.
* BrilliantButLazy: Lisa may be a distinguished alumna of the Akademiya, but she's incredibly lazy, loves to take naps, and only shows efficiency if it means she can get back to slacking off faster. Some of Albedo's voice lines have him express disappointment that such a brilliant mind like Lisa had chosen to remain a mere librarian, and Diluc echos the same sentiment...

* BrokenAce: According to some Akademiya personnel and alumni, Lisa was their best student in two hundred years, graduating from the Spantamad Darshan just ''two years'' after enrolling (as retold by Layla's voice-over for her). However, her peers' insatiable lust for knowledge left Lisa jaded, and she left immediately after graduation in favor of a more carefree life as librarian. She's still one of the Knights' most powerful staff, but [[RetiredBadass isn't active in the lines of defense]], nor is it something she brags about.

** The base form of her Skill launches electric orbs that home in on enemies and, upon contact, deals wide-ranging damage and inflicts a Conductive stack on the target, of which up to three can be stacked per enemy, which increases the damage potency of the Skill's charged form; as the base and charged forms have cooldown times of, respectively, one and sixteen seconds, players are incentivized to master applying Conductive stacks first before unleashing the charged form.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, her Skill's damage multipliers are 80–170% in its base form, 320–680% for its held form if the enemy has no Conductive stack, 368–782% with one stack, 424–901% with two, and 487.2–1035.3% with three.[[/note]] Her first-ascension passive, ''Induced Aftershock'', allows the charged form of Lisa's Normal Attack style, ''Lightning Touch'', to inflict one stack at a time on enemies struck, while her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Pulsating Witch'', automatically inflicts three stacks on surrounding enemies (within at least five-second intervals) whenever she is switched in.
** Lisa's fourth-ascension passive, ''Static Electricity Field'', grants her Burst the ability to inflict a 15% penalty to enemy Defense for ten seconds.

* DifficultButAwesome: For a long time, Lisa was of limited use compared to other Electro Vision holders due to her fighting style rendering her immobile for long periods of time, which combined with her poor durability makes her difficult to use properly. That said, she has a distinct niche on Aggravate-oriented teams, where her extremely frequent Electro application allows her to keep the reaction active for extended periods of time. Unlike her competitors in this role, her attacks have a wide damage radius, which can make her the superior choice against swarms of enemies. Her animations are still a problem, but a skilled player who knows how to cancel them at the right time can make short work of opponents.

* FighterMageThief: Among the three [[StarterMon starting characters]], Lisa is the Mage to Kaeya's Fighter and Amber's Thief. She uses a catalyst to sling electric shocks from afar, her Burst creates a lamp of pure Electro energy that zaps nearby foes, and her passive skill has the chance to refund a small portion of ingredients when you use her to make potions.
* FireIceLightning: Among the {{Starter Mon}}s, Lisa shocks the opposition with Electro spells and can very easily proc Electro-based reactions (especially Catalyze-based ones) because of her simplicity.
* FlowerMotifs: Purple roses, based on Sumeru Roses (although "Rose" is actually a [[NonIndicativeName misnomer]]). She is known as the "Witch of Purple Rose" and the name of her default outfit is "Purple Rose," which features the flower on her hat, hair tie, belt, the patterns on her dress, magic effects, and lamp. Her "Sobriquet Under Shade" alternate outfit swaps her side ponytail for twin braids tied with twin purple rose hair ties, and features the flower pattern on both sides of her coat tails. She also holds a purple rose in one of her idle animations.

* HerdHittingAttack: Both the charged form of her Normal Attack style and Skill hit enemies over a wide area.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, her Normal Attack's damage multipliers are an average 43.32–82.48% per strike of her four-hit combo, 177.12–337.24% for her charged attack, and the standard values for her plunging attack[[/note]]
* HiddenDepths: Aside from being BrilliantButLazy, Lisa was a talented mage before settling down as librarian. In one of her Ascension lines, she wonders what might happen if she recovers her "full power", and mutters to herself that she hopes you'll be there when... [[PowerIncontinence "something"]] happens.

* InformedFlaw: Diona complains that Lisa is a drinker, but she's never depicted as enjoying anything but tea in the game. And when she shows up inside Angel's Share with Jean in the "Of Drink A-Dreaming" event, she only orders a non-alcoholic, tea-based beverage. Lisa is finally shown drinking wine at the second floor of Good Hunter during the "Of Ballads and Brews" event, but considering the event takes place during Weinlesefest, which is specifically dedicated to wine, it could be that she's only drinking because of the occasion.
* InstantRunes: Purple runes briefly appear when she casts her normal attacks, and a larger version materializes during her charged attacks.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: In her Story Quest, Lisa zaps a captured Abyss Mage until they finally spill the beans about why they stole a book from the library.

* MagicLibrarian: She's the Knights of Favonius' librarian and possesses an Electro Vision.

** She has a lot of similarities with [[Characters/GenshinImpactAlhaitham Alhaitham]]. Both are star alumni of the Akademiya who chose low-key positions as librarians[[note]]Alhaitham's title of "Scribe" is the Akademiya's fancy name for a file clerk[[/note]]. The difference between them is the motivations behind these lifestyles: Lisa immediately returned to Mondstadt after graduation due to a combination of disillusionment with her peers' bad practices and her desire for an easygoing life, while Alhaitham only wants quietude, describes himself as a man with few ambitions, and [[spoiler:was one of the driving forces for overthrowing his superiors in the Sumeru Archon Quest]].
** To [[Characters/GenshinImpactYaeMiko Yae Miko]] as well. Both are sultry Electro Vision holders users with flirty personalities, love for tea breaks, and professions related to books (Lisa as a librarian and Miko as editor-in-chief) which they love despite their monotony.

* MsFanservice: Like Mona, Lisa is one of the stand-out examples of the initial line-up. As explained in HotWitch above, Lisa has a pretty curvy appearance, wearing a dress whose slits go above her hips and leave both legs exposed, its cleavage drawing attention to her large, bouncy breasts, and her thigh-highs [[ZettaiRyouiki emphasizing her legs]]; coupled with this is [[ArousedByTheirVoice her flirtatious voice]] and being TheTease. Even [[CustomUniformOfSexy her alternate outfit isn't exempt from this]], baring Lisa's legs and thus being more fanservice-heavy than the standard Akademiya uniform. The Japanese dub gets bonus points thanks to Creator/RieTanaka leaning into the "ara ara" anime character archetype.

* ScaryLibrarian: Her naptime and "dates" with the Traveler could be mistaken as slacking off, but as Paimon notes and as shown in her Story Quest, there's a reason why people around Mondstadt fear her when they don't return their books on time. She takes overdue books ''very'' seriously, even if she has to venture into an Abyss Order hideout just to take back a children's storybook.

* SkewedPriorities: Laziness aside, when Lisa ''does'' take her job seriously, she will perform her duties for entirely skewed reasons. In her Story Quest, she pursues the Abyss Mage who stole an overdue book not so much out of fear that the Order will try to find anything they could use against Mondstadt as much as the fact that the book is overdue. During the 2021 Windblume Festival, she takes immense pleasure in electrocuting troublemaking drunkards on her patrols, not because she is teaching them a lesson per a knight's duty, but because [[ItAmusedMe she finds it amusing]].
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Tends to nod off at any given opportunity. Her official profile states that she loves napping and can never get enough of it.

** Lisa gets the most work done when creating Elemental Reactions, and her charged attacks work best when something else occupies the enemies attention. The BrilliantButLazy librarian prefers that half the work is done by somebody else.

* StarterMon: She permanently joins the party in the Prologue chapters.
* SquishyWizard: Like all Catalyst units, her Defense is pretty low, which means you have to get good at dodging real quick. This is a problem if you're relying on charged attacks and the charged form of her Skill, so it's a good idea to prioritize Elemental Mastery and Critical Rate so she doesn't have to constantly switch between standing still and sprinting out of the way. Lampshaded by the game, where her character bio describes her as languid, and she displays a heavier breathing than other characters when climbing.

* TheTurretmaster: Her Burst deploys a stationary floating lantern which, for the next fifteen seconds, periodically zaps nearby enemies one at a time.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, each discharge has a damage multiplier of 36.56–82.3%[[/note]] Her fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Plasma Eruption'', allows it to adds up to three extra thunderbolts.

Mika charts his party's path to victory by alternating between spear and crossbow as well as providing rear support. His Elemental Skill, ''Starfrost Swirl'', has him fire a Cryo-enhanced bolt--Flowfrost Arrow in tapped form, which hits all foes in its path, or Rimestar Flare in held form, which upon contact flies up and disperses into Rimestar Shards that hit up to three nearby foes--and at the same time bestow the Soulwind effect onto the party, which temporarily increases their attacking speed. His Elemental Burst, ''Skyfeather Song'', heals the party and summons an Eagleplume that heals the active character whenever they hit enemies.[[note]]When fully upgraded, the Soulwind effect can now build up to four stacks of Detector, which boost the active character's Physical damage, whenever Mika's Skill connects, as well as reduce the interval between the healing bursts of the Eagleplume, which in turn can now restore Mika's Energy up to five times whenever it heals the active character; and both states being active at once can now build one stack of Detector whenever the active character lands critical hits, as well as boost their Critical Damage.[[/note]]

* ArmyScout: As land surveyor for the Knights of Favonius, he is in charge of scouting and mapping out uncharted areas. Fittingly, his utility passive, ''Demarcation'', displays the location of Mondstadt-exclusive Regional Specialties on the minimap.

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Mika is a polearm user who also uses a crossbow for his Elemental Skill and the fourth strike of the five-hit combo form of his Normal Attack style, ''Spear of Favonius - Arrow's Passage''.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, his Normal Attack style's damage multipliers are an average 53.07–112.32% per strike of his five-hit combo, 112.75% for his charged attack, and the standard values for his plunging attack[[/note]]
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Just a single sip of alcohol is enough to knock him out, to the point that even its smell will render him dizzy. Justified, as he isn't yet of drinking age.

* GatheringSteam: Mika's first-ascension passive, ''Suppressive Barrage'', allows the Soulwind state to gather up to three stacks of Detector, which increase the active character's Physical Damage by 10% apiece (for a maximum of 30%) whenever either form of his Skill hits more than one enemy--that is, at least two with Flowfrost Arrow or one with Rimestar Flares. Three of his other upgrades are also designed around gathering such stacks: his fourth-ascension passive, ''Topographical Mapping'', builds one stack whenever the active character lands a critical hit while Soulwind and the Eagleplume are simultaneously active; his second Constellation upgrade, ''Companion's Ingress'', reduces the enemy quota of either form of his Skill to at least one; and his sixth, ''Companion's Counsel'', allows him to gather a fourth stack (hence increasing the potential boost to 40%) as well as gives the Soulwind state a 60% boost to Critical Damage.
* HealingFactor: His Burst instantly heals the party and confers upon the active character an Eagleplume for fifteen seconds that restores their HP whenever they hit enemies (within at least 2.5-second intervals), with its potency based on a fraction of Mika's Max HP, which is further helped by his Ascension stat of Max HP percentage (6–24%).[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, it restores HP equivalent to 12.17–25.86% of his Max HP (plus 1172.0355–3223.3828 flat HP) for its initial burst and 2.43–5.17% (plus 233.95428–643.4312) whenever the Eagleplume is triggered.[[/note]]
* IdiotHair: Mika has a tuft of hair curling upward in the usual ahoge. It is not the most noticeable one, so it mostly undercuts his attempts to be presentable and makes him look inexperienced next to the seasoned members of the Knights.
* MatureYoungerSibling: According to Lisa's "About Mika" voice line, he takes care of things around the house and looks after his older brother Huffman when he's drunk.
* NerdyNasalness: He's passionate about his job as a cartographer, and his English voice actor Robb Moreira gives him this kind of voice to match his enthusiasm, as well as to emphasize his youthfulness.

* RegeneratingMana: Mika's fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Sunfrost Encomium'', restores 3 Energy for Mika whenever the Eagleplume heals the active character, up to five times per Eagleplume duration (to a maximum of 15 Energy).

* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: Mika's field passive, which allows players to detect regional specialties from Mondstadt in the mini-map, befits his position as chief surveyor of the Reconnaisance Company. In addition, his ability to gather stacks of Detector, which increase Physical damage, makes him an excellent support for physical-oriented fighters like his superior Eula.
* SprintShoes: By default, the Soulwind state bestowed by his Skill increases the party's attacking speed. Mika's first Constellation upgrade, ''Factor Confluence'', gives the state the ability to reduce the interval between healing bursts provided by the Eagleplume based on the percentage of the aforementioned speed boost.
* StanceSystem: In addition to bestowing the Soulwind effect that increases the active party's attacking speed, his Skill fires different kinds of icy arrows--in its base form, Flowfrost Arrow, which automatically aims at a nearby foe; if charged, a stronger Rimestar Flare which he can manually aim, then fires down Rimestar Shards on up to three foes should it connect.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, the damage multipliers are 67.2–142.8% for Flowfrost Arrows, 84–178.5% for Rimestar Flares, and 25.2–53.55% for Rimestar Shards, as well as boosts attacking speed by 13–25%[[/note]]

* BlowYouAway: Since she is a mage-type Catalyst unit, this trope is more literal in application than other Anemo Vision holders: her Normal Attack style, ''Wind Spirit Creation'', and her Elemental Talents involve using wind to knock targets back or up, and she can also sling around anything human-sized or smaller and get enormous Swirl damage in the process.[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, her Normal Attack's damage multipliers are an average 37.6125–71.46% per strike of her four-hit combo, 120.16–228.3% for her charged attack, and the standard values for her plunging attack[[/note]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: They might be bunny ears, really anything other than cat is on the table. Anyway, Sucrose is no doubt one of the greatest scientists of the Knights, but even she can be just as weird as her experiments due to how hopeless she is in the social department.
** As mentioned below in CollectorOfTheStrange, she collects bone samples of very specific kinds, even asking for ones with "the blood and meat still on." People understandably found this unusual at first, but once they started getting used to her oddity, they were perfectly willing to put aside the rarest bones for her.

** Some of the experiments she makes can be rather unusual. The "Windblume's Breath" event involves her needing to collect breaths for an assignment. At this point, [[TheDitz Paimon]], who normally has a comment for everything, doesn't even bother questioning it.
* ChildhoodFriends: One of her story entries mentions her having two best friends, in which they dreamed of a certain wonderful place as described in a story, wishing to one day reach them together and live happily ever after. But circumstances made her friends leave her and go their separate ways, leaving her alone; when she first found out about alchemy, she thought about creating that "paradise" in real life through alchemy, thinking that her friends may come back to her again if she could achieve it.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Her Character Story mentions that she likes collecting bones from living beings, preferably still fresh with viscera and everything still on it. She even has an idle animation where she pulls out a bone and examines it. Additionally, she also collects skeletons, even being able to nab a complete lizard skeleton because of this.
* CooldownManipulation: With her fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Alchemania'', every seventh normal or charged attack would reduce the cooldown of her Skill by 1-7 seconds.
* CorrallingVacuum: Both her Elemental Talents create Wind Spirits that pull in nearby enemies, occasionally knocking them in midair, with her Burst in particular lasting six seconds long and dealing damage every two (for a total of three bursts).[[note]]Depending on Talent levels, her damage multipliers are 211.2–448.8% for her Skill, and 148–333% and 44–99% for her Burst's respective main and additional elemental strikes[[/note]] Her first Constellation upgrade, ''Clustered Vacuum Field'', adds a second charge to her Skill, while her second, ''Beth: Unbound Form'', extends the duration of her Burst to eight seconds (and hence four damage bursts).
* ADayInTheLimelight: Sucrose is one of the main characters during the "Windblume's Breath" event alongside Collei as a large majority of the event is focused on them bonding over having NoSocialSkills and becoming friends with each other.

* FantasticRacism: It is heavily implied she is terrified of being the victim of this due to her ears--in the voice interaction line where the Traveler asks her about her ears, she gets more nervous than she's ever been, and very meekly explains that they're "inherited" and that she tries as hard as she can to [[HideYourOtherness hide them in her hair]]. It's also implied that Sucrose is being anxious over nothing because everyone in Mondstadt couldn't care less about those animal traits, what with the existence of people with elf-like ears such as Klee, as well as CatFolk like the Kätzlein clan.
* ForScience: A positive example--she's laser focused on her pursuit of bio-alchemy and its application on living things, but she has a strong enough moral compass to use it for good. Her biography notes that people were suspicious of her at first, but once she found ways to double nectar output and preserve certain fruits for ''a month'' after harvesting without refrigeration, all without causing ecological damage, the people quickly warmed up to her. Her bio does point out that this is all in pursuit of something greater, however, which Sucrose keeps much closer to her chest.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Her Elemental Talents are heavily implied to be the results of her experiments, but they function similarly to other Anemo-based abilities seen in the game. This is possibly justified, as she states in her Vision voiceover that she uses it in battle as well as for experiments, implying she uses both her Vision powers and alchemy in tandem.
* GeniusSweetTooth: Sucrose's favorite food is candy made from Sweet Flower nectar, and she mentions that eating them makes her focus better. Go figure.

* LittleBitBeastly: She has a pair of furry ears (and these do seem to be her only ears). She gets [[HideYourOtherness incredibly nervous]] when asked about them in her voice lines. It is implied by hints that she is a kitsune like Yae Miko. Mondstadt has legends about fox people that sound similar to the kitsune, Miko is the only other character to have ears like Sucrose, and kitsune aren't originally from the Inazuman archipelago, having immigrated from somewhere else a long time ago.

* MentorArchetype: To Collei. As explained below, Sucrose is very similar to her but is also a young adult whereas Collei is in her early teens at youngest and has more exposure, [[ShrinkingViolet willing or otherwise]], to the world, giving her the wisdom to recognize Collei's issues, how she can improve her self-esteem and social anxiety, and why Sucrose is the one who ought to help her.

* NoSocialSkills: Due to both her shyness and singular focus on alchemy, she struggles with social interactions. Her character story mentions that she will understand more about Diona's CatGirl traits if she just asks the bartender directly and nicely, but she'd rather do what she does best: watch from a distance. She also says that this makes interacting with [[TheSocialExpert Kaeya]] awkward.

** Both her Elemental Talents take the form of butterfly-shaped Wind Spirits. Appropriately, one of her Ascension Materials is a drop from the Anemo Hypostasis, which does take on a butterfly-like appearance for some of its attacks.

* StarterMon: She is one of the starting character cards in Genius Invokation TCG, along with Diluc and Kaeya.

* OlderThanTheyLook: While she has a medium body build, and despite her youthful--and at times immature--personality, Amber is already a young adult, indicated by the fact she is old enough to drink.
