History Characters / GenshinImpactFontaine

* GoneHorriblyWrong: The gravity experiments they were conducting were to find a way to save Fontaine's populace from the prophesized flooding by turning the city into a structure similar to Celestia. Instead, they inadvertently blew up one half of the Institution while what is left of the other half is now floating in midair, not to mention the threat of radiation fields and other related devices having gone haywire.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture:
** Fontaine is inspired by France and to a lesser extent Italy. The former, specifically the late 19th century Belle Époque period, was characterized by technological advancement and artistic flourishing. And the latter, owing to the existence of TheMafia, and the waterways that evoke the feel of Venice (albeit, one with aquabuses rather than gondolas). There are also some occasional minor influences from other Western European nations as seen by Wriothesley's archaic English name and Sigewinne's Middle High German name. There also seems to be some inclusion of elements from select Eastern European histories as one moves northward, such as Ukraine and the [[UsefulNotes/{{Chernobyl}} Chernobyl Disaster]].
** The historical period that came before Fontaine's establishment involved conflicts between the kingdom of Remuria and the rebellious tribespeople who tried to overthrow its God-King Remus, paralleling the {{Ancient Rom|e}}an conquest of Gaul and the subsequent [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_Wars Gallic Wars]].
** Petrichor is distinctly inspired by the Republic of Venice, with a bit of Greek influence thanks to the region's name being Greek for "Returns".

* UnderTheSea: The only region in Teyvat where the Traveler can dive underwater and utilise exclusive underwater gameplay mechanics for exploration and combat.

* ThemeNaming: Many of Petrichor's citizens are named after terms relating to music.

* AwesomeUnderwaterWorld: As expected of the Nation of Hydro located on a submarine plateau in an inland sea, the depths of Fontaine's waters houses a rich and vibrant marine ecosystem, made all the more wondrous by the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZSDdaYjV_c calm]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HEx2RF-SsE atmospheric]] soundtrack.

* UnderwaterRuins: As expected of a region that has experienced flooding numerous times throughout its history, one simply needs to dive deep to find numerous examples littered on the sea floor, such as the Annapausis, Institute of Natural Philosophy, and especially the pre-Fontaine civilisation of Remuria in the Sea of Bygone Eras.

A philanthropic organization dedicated to helping the people of Fontaine beyond the scope of its courts. Fomerly also a major financier of aquabuses, its reputation plummeted three years after its founding president Callas was falsely accused of murder and later died in a duel trying to clear his name. Now led by his daughter Navia, the organization barely keeps itself afloat with odd jobs such as protection and detective work from the town of Poisson, as well as operates a hotel at the impoverished Fleuve Cendre district of the Court of Fontaine.
