SPECIAL NOTES. • While Evan is a generally kind hearted individual, he is no pushover. In every verse Evan was a child soldier taught in the ways of warfare, and he will not hesitate to use his skills if your muse presents themselves as a threat.• This is especially true in verses where Evan was revived by the Abyss Order and repurposed to be an assassin. He's not just more skilled, but powerful, as he has an artificial body similar to Wanderer and Albedo.• My main ships for Evan include: Evan/Venti, Evan/Xiao, Evan/Traveler, Evan/Traveler's Sibling (in Abyss verses, I do like this ship to be a bit more unhealthy though) and Evan/Wanderer. I will not force these ships of course, but let me know if you're interested! I also mainly ship based off of chemistry, so let's see how things go! (Also Evan is very Polyamorous, please keep that in mind.)• In verses where it applies (I.E. Abyss verses) Evan is affected by areas like the deep Chasm, and has a similar immortality "curse" as Khaenri'ahns that makes him feel compelled to stay at such locations.• Evan's story is about war trauma, parental loss trauma, and other related traumas related to being a child soldier. Please take care if these things are triggering for you............ BACKSTORY .Born to a low-middle class family in Old Mondstadt, Evan was born and raised within the walls of the Whirlwind Decarabian created. Though Decarabian's cause to cast the whirlwind walls was seemingly honorable, many people of his kingdom found themselves to be displeased and unhappy being essentially trapped within Old Mondstadt.Evan was born into this society, growing up hearing other adults and elders mutter to themselves about their grievances. Having a bleeding heart for them, Evan took up learning how to play the lyre when he was six years old, and he started to teach himself how to play and sing. He would sing especially for elderly folk, hoping to at least bring them some peace and happiness despite their situation. Though his songs made people around him smile, he could see the anguish remaining in their gazes after they returned to their everyday lives, suffering from the isolation from the outside world.While Evan didn't have many hardships with his parents, he was still a child of the community--raised by the city, so he felt the struggles of the people even harder than most. When he was in his teens, he met a nameless wind spirit and befriended him.Tragedy struck, however, when Evan came home one day to find his father had collapsed in the kitchen, having come down with a horrible infection from an untreated wound. His mother became entirely focused on taking care of his father, so Evan had to take on the chores for himself. This wasn’t an issue for him, but his father was only getting worse and worse by the day. One day, however, Evan found that the infection was one that could be cured with local herbs and berries that grew outside of the walls of Mondstadt.Desperate to save his parents, Evan went to Decarabian to plead with him to let him outside to find some medicine for his father, but was denied by the king. When Evan protested, he was escorted out by Decarabian's guards, and locked in a prison cell for a few days. Upon returning home on the seventh day, Evan discovered his father had died while he was in prison.For as grief-stricken as Evan was, his mother was even more so. Slipping into a deep and dark depression that Evan couldn't bring her out of. Evan was forced to grow up too fast, forced into the caregiver role for himself and his mother. Evan was no baker like his father, but he did his best to run the family bakery anyway--often being harassed and threatened by citizens of the city who used to love his father's baking and gave no understanding for his situation nor lack of skill. He worked tirelessly day in and day out, often collapsing onto his bed in the clothes he wore that day and without eating dinner.Despite his best efforts, Evan's exhaustion caught up to him, and he had fallen asleep at the bakery while in the middle of baking something. This caused a great fire, once that he tried to put out with flour but only making it worse. He barely was able to escape the flames, and could only watch as the bakery burned down.He was then taken in my Mr. and Mrs. Abel, some elderly neighbors that he often did chores for, and they called the guards on his mother for extreme neglect behind Evan's back. When the guards came to investigate, Evan's mother ended up running away from them, and she ended up tripping and falling into the whirlwind wall, killing her instantly. Not only had Evan witnessed her brutal death, but now, he was left all alone.With the grief-fueled rage in his heart, and seeing that the people of Old Mondstadt were ready for rebellion, Evan took it upon himself to take the first steps for a revolution, causing massive riots in the city at the age of sixteen. He was joined by a red-haired warrior, a healing knight, his best friend, and the ex-lover of the Lord of the Tower in his efforts, and soon, the city was having non stop riots.These riots were ongoing for about a year and a half before the full revolution took place, and the revolution lasted another three years before Decarabian was finally slain. However during the final battle, Evan had gotten distracted by the wind barrier falling, and looked to the sky to see it for the first time. A loyalist who was not aware of their loss had taken aim, and Evan was shot with several arrows from the king's royal guardsmen.The young bard died in the arms of the red-haired warrior, with his last words to his best friend being "Don't leave me--I love you."He passed away before he could ever see what a clear, blue sky looked like........................

BEHIND THESE WRETCHED WALLS. — V; A Boy Who Flew Too Close To The Sun
Canon compliant/Open VerseA child born within the walls of a whirlwind, on the verge of starting a rebellion that would shake the nations for centuries to follow. This verse is essentially the life Evan lived before he was revived, and takes place about 2,600 years ago. A SPECTATING SPECTER. — V; Watching You Wither Away As I Stay the Same
Canon AU/Open VerseUnable to pass on into the afterlife, Evan remained in the world of Teyvat as a spirit, haunting his dear friend for thousands of years. Though suddenly, Evan's regret and sorrow have begun to manifest powers--including the ability to be seen by the living. THE KNIGHT OF THE ABYSS. — V; Blinded By The New Moon Night
Canon AU/Open VerseHaving been revived by the Abyss Order to serve as the Prince/Princess' "Knight" and assassin of the gods, Evan has been blinded to the truth, and seeks out the Archons with the intention to slay them where they stand. His first target is the Anemo Archon, Lord Barbatos of Mondstadt. TRULY FREE ONCE AGAIN. — V; And The Sun Will Rise Once More
Canon AU/Mild Corrupted VerseWhen Evan was revived by the Abyss Order, they had decided to add a special measure to assure that Evan would remain loyal to them and remain easy to manipulate. Using the same poison that ran in Dvalin's veins, they also poisoned him as well. The poison causes Evan mild aches and pains, and heightened paranoia and anger, along with some strange, scab-like wounds on his chest and back. When one of these wounds is opened by accident, however, Evan's symptoms become worse as he is continuously manipulated by the Abyss Order.There is only one hope to save him before it is too late, before the poison consumes him alive. Shared verse with iireniic as Venti, Jean, Aether, and Kaeya A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH. — V; To Harness the Power of Fallen Gods
Canon AU/Closed VerseInstead of being ordered to assassinate the Archons, Evan is told to bring them alive back to the Domain with the inverted Statue of Seven.

AND TOGETHER WE ARE. — V; To Be Revived By the Winds of Light
Canon AUA shared verse with melodicbreeze. After Venti realizes that Evan’s spirit was haunting him, he quickly decides to use his power to give Evan a physical form.

Friendly and outgoing, but can struggle with displaying emotions (bottles up his emotions and avoiding the sources of strong emotions)

DISLIKES................. Cheese, restrictive environments, thunderstorms, his allergy to cats, closed mindedness, Celestia, repetition, being called lazy.
STRENGTHS.......... Kind, caring, musically gifted, charitable, understanding, all-knowing, wise, playful, mischievous
WEAKNESSES....... Avoidance issues, cryptic, dishonest, emotionally distant, careless with his finances, very prone to heavy drinking, commitment issues
HOBBIES................. Song writing, poetry writing, music writing, wandering, dreaming, sleeping, drinking........... SPECIAL NOTES. • I personally believe that Venti was in love with the Nameless Bard, and I will portray him as such. However, this can be reciprocated or one sided, of course.
• After losing Nameless Bard, however, Venti finds it very difficult to love mortals or, well, anyone the same way, really. He allows himself to have "crushes" on "safe" people who will likely outlive him, like Zhongli, but he never admits to them.
• With that said, I ship Venti/Nameless Bard, Venti/Xiao, Venti/Wanderer, and Venti/Zhongli. Let me know if you're interested in these ships! I also ship more based on chemistry than anything, so let's just see how it goes.
• Venti's main verse is a spoiler for the SUMERU ARCHON QUEST. These notes and rules from now on will discuss the main verse and potential spoilers for the Archon Quest as well. You have been warned.
• In Venti's "Samsara" verse, he is only aware of the events that take place in-game and nothing outside it. He also does not remember any events that have not yet happened in the game, as he is living in incomplete loops. This is to accommodate future updates.
• On that note, Venti will not be aware of an event if I nor the mun have talked about it in DMs or plotted for it. In other words, unless specified, each new thread will count as a "new event" Venti hasn't experienced in previous loops.
• Getting Venti to admit to being in stuck in a samsara will be near impossible. He will wiggle and lie his way into making your muse believe otherwise, even at his own expense.
• While not among his verses, there is a potential plot in Venti having a sort of "Reset" in his memory--in that he is erased from Irminsul due to discovering forbidden knowledge in the previous samsara. He may be older than even he realizes............ BACKSTORY .Note: This is only filling in the gaps of what Canon has not yet filled in as of the latest patch. I will probably gloss over any obvious events that are directly in canon material as you can experience that yourselves. Consider my Venti an AU of sorts otherwise.
--------------------------------------
Created to be a mindless drone for Decarabian 2,600 years ago, Venti was created with four other sprites to monitor the city and report back to the Lord of the Tower anything of note they found for the day. However, due to accidentally being created with a sliver of the Thousand Winds, Venti started to develop into more of a child than Decarabian had originally intended, and his own anatomical structure influenced his four siblings to follow suit.Several years after his creation was when Venti's mental development really kicked off, when he met the Nameless Bard, who taught him many human values and customs. After growing more and more, Venti eventually came to find a name of his own, naming himself "Venti"--a combination of Ventus and Wendy. Soon, word started spreading through the commoners that there was a sprite that was more personal and curious than the rest, and Venti’s sprite-siblings grew more and more curious themselves, eventually becoming individuals and naming themselves as well. They were known as Pumpkin–a grumpy but warm elder sister, Fae–a shy younger brother, Hollow–a cool and mysterious-yet-unsettling sibling, and Sphynx–a hot-tempered younger sister.During the start of the Old Mondstadt rebellion, Venti was found out to be working with the rebels and thusly dubbed a traitor. However, his siblings came to his rescue, attacking Decarabian while Pumpkin used what little wind powers she had in order to save Venti by cutting off the wing Decarabian was holding. However, after running away into the blizzards, the sprites came across some humans, whom they were all afraid of, except for Venti. Venti approached them, and with their desperation and faith, he gained more intense powers than he head before. He gave his new ability to heal to one of the humans, and now floated without the need for his wings.He would later come to almost regret this, as when he gave away his ability to heal, he no longer had that power of his own--a power that could have very well saved the human friends he loved dearly, especially the Nameless Bard.With Andrius mysteriously denying the position of Archon, Venti was almost forced into the position--something that he keeps to himself, but isn't afraid to show in his disdain for Celestia. He might even fear them...He took on the name of his friend, the nameless bard, to say one final goodbye to him, however could never get his appearance to look quite right. Eventually this drove Venti into a panic-fueled spiral of grief, unleashing a terrible storm that scared the people of Mondstadt. Afraid of losing control over his emotions and powers once again, Venti now bottles up his emotions, never letting them run wild or loose, and maintains the imperfect form of the Nameless Bard in fear of forgetting more about him.Soon after Mondstadt was founded, Venti fell into a deep and dark slumber for one-thousand years, only to be awoken by the cries of his people in suffering. After uprooting the tyranny that had plagued them once more, Venti fell asleep for another five-hundred years, only to be awoken once again to save Mondstadt. This time, however, it was from a corrupted dragon whp's venom and blood poisoned his and Dvalin's veins. So once more, he fell aslumber--this time not of his own free will--to rid himself of the venom.And then, once more, Venti awoke five-hundred or so years later, to find a golden traveler and his nation in need of his aid...And maybe, this wasn't the first time he had awaken to such a thing........................
.......... VERSES.
YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW IS BEYOND TODAY. — V; A Song Endlessly Repeated Is Destined to Turn Stale
Main Verse/AU/Open VerseSPOILERS FOR THE SUMERU ARCHON QUEST.A fake sky, a repeating loop, an eternal hell of familiar scenarios and memories–well, Venti would rather not think of the Samsara he has been trapped in, since it brings him nothing but misery. All he has are the memories of previous loops, after all–with no way to stop it, Venti just drinks himself into a stupor to avoid his feelings of true and utter helplessness. OF TYRANTS AND REBELS. — V; Witnessing the Birth of Windblume
Past Verse/Open VerseA Sprite created by Decarabian, Venti has gone from a mindless drone to a rebel–and grown to love the humans who desired the freedom they fight for. IN A WORLD WITH A FALSE SKY. — V; An Adventure is a Ballad in the Making
Canon Compliant/Open VerseA world rich in history and mystery… and a bard that knows more than he lets on. What awaits you at the end of your journey, traveler? Surely, it would make for a wonderful ballad. I’M DEFINITELY MORE THAN JUST TIPSY. — V; Maybe I've Had One Too Many
Crack VerseWhen life tries to snuff you out, why not toast to living another day? Though, perhaps, Venti may have had too much wine this time…

HOBBIES................. Wandering the wilderness, listening to the birds. Hasn't been able to develop many hobbies yet. SPECIAL NOTES. • Wrenn is aggressive, borderline anti-social. He can be very mean and will not hold his punches.
• Wrenn is extremely Rejection Sensitive, to the point where he gets near-anxiety attacks when people are overtly kind to him. Due to the severe amount of trauma he has faced, Wrenn doesn't trust any form of kindness, and when it is persistent, he fears that he will grow accustomed to it. And he has been taught that once he is used to being treated kindly, that he is only setting himself up for heartbreak.
• Because of everything that he has been through (and due to the nature of Niwa's death being revealed to him in this AU), Wrenn is extremely suicidal, and harbors an intense self hatred that will be hard to reach through. Please be mindful of that.
• I consider Wrenn's relationship with Dottore to be extremely abusive, toxic, and terrible and that Wrenn was the main victim of that relationship. In threads with Dottore, I will portray this dynamic as such.
• As for my actual ships, while ships with Wrenn are officially going to stay platonic, I ship Wrenn/Venti, and Wrenn/Evan (Nameless Bard, but specifically Evan in this case.) However, I'm open to most ships with him. I ship mostly chemistry anyway! . BACKSTORY .When he was created, Wrenn cried in his sleep.Whether they were tears of sorrow or joy, he would not know. It did not matter--for his creator, his mothe, Raiden Ei, found him too weak to house her gnosis. With her judgement made, she abandoned in the Shakkei Pavillion.Years passed before the puppet was discovered by Inspector Mikoshi Nagamasa's yoriki, Katsuragi. He had a strong physique, but a kind face–something that the young puppet immediately attached to. After being introduced to the rest of the miners, the nameless puppet took on his first form of identity–simply known as “Kabukimono.”For a while, Kabukimono lived a happy life with the miners–learning to forge weapons, do chores, sing and dance, the puppet was warmly accepted and loved by the humans like he was one of their own.That was, until the people of Tatarasuna were slowly starting to die off.With more and more humans getting sick and dying, Kabukimono took a ship to the main island to seek an audience with Raiden Ei.. However she was not present, and instead he had an audience with Yae Miko. She had told him that she would send aid, however her aid would never come in time. When Kabukimono returned to Tatarasuna, Escher had told him that Niwa had fled with his family, and that he was chosen to enter the furnace to extinguish the flames. With a box placed into his chest in tow, Kabukimono entered the furnace and cleansed it of its filth, but miraculously survived. When he asked Escher what was in the box, as he believed it had saved him from the furnace, Escher revealed that it was a human heart, something Kabukimono had always wanted. Feeling horrified and betrayed by his desires being handed to him in such a horrifying way, yet conflicted that the cruelty had saved him, Kabukimono threw the heart onto the ground and fled.On the other side of the island, Kabukimono came across a young boy with no name of his own. A child of the miners, he was left alone and raised by a small community after his parents had passed on from the illness that plagued the island. They became close, and Kabukimono and this nameless boy–these two birds of a feather–promised to be a family together forever. However, the boy was young and naive, falling to the same illness that took his parents. Kabukimono felt betrayed once more, and in his despair, he set the hut on fire and attempt to burn alive. However, his body could not burn, and he could not die.Feeling a deep despair his chest could not bear to carry, Kabukimono tossed aside his old name and began to wander aimlessly, with no purpose or reason.He was found by the Harbinger Pierro, and invited to join the Banquet against the gods. Curious, he agreed. Eventually, this lead to the puppet joining the Harbingers, finding his place as the Sixth, with the new identities of “Kunikuzushi” and “Scaramouche” filling his heartless body with rage and hatred.One Harbinger in particular took interest in him–a Harbinger by the title of Il Dottore. Throughout the years, Scaramouche was one of Dottore’s favorite test subjects and Scaramouche was manipulated into accepting the torturous experiments Dottore wanted to perform on him. This did lead to some benefits, such as unlocking his true potential and securing his seat as a result of it, but the mind of Scaramouche was further broken and tainted with hurt and rage he couldn’t even fully understand. His temper only grew more notoriously horrible, and he sought out and took revenge on the blacksmiths he thought were descendants of those who betrayed him all those years ago.The accumulation of all of that experimentation led to Dottore’s greatest experiment–turning Scaramouche into a man-made god. Finding the position to be his birthright, Scaramouche allowed Dottore to do ‘whatever it took’ in order to accomplish this goal. With the Electro Gnosis in his possession, Scaramouche was able to ascend into becoming Shouki no Kami–only for Scaramouche’s ascension to be thwarted by Lesser Lord Kusanali and her first Sage, the Traveler.NOTE: this is where my Scaramouche/Wanderer, “Wrenn,” becomes Canon divergence.Scaramouche fell into a deep coma after being disconnected from Shouki no Kami. During this coma, his consciousness would fade in and out of Irminsul–and just as he was about to be woken up by Lesser Lord Kusanali, Scaramouche saw the truth of the Tatarasuna incident through the memory of Dottore himself.Upon awakening, Scaramouche’s mind was sent into a despair-fueled panic–not only had he never been betrayed by Niwa, but he was manipulated and ruined by Dottore the whole time. With his body too damaged to act upon his despair, however, Scaramouche was only able to sink further into his misery, falling into a deep depression.And so, continues the story of a nameless puppet, one who once again had no name to call his own… except maybe the name of a little blue bird that kept visiting his window during his darkest despair.A little wren that sang to him sweet lullabies. Yes, “Wrenn” would be a good enough name… until it would come time to discard it like the rest. VERSES.
SING TO ME, LITTLE FAIRY OF THE SKIES. — V; Is the Song Enough to Revive the Light in his Eyes?
Main Verse/Canon DivergenceStill recovering from his injuries from his failed ascension to Godhood, the puppet called “Wrenn” has finally recovered enough to wander out on his own. Now, he has to decide if the life he has is one that is worth living… or, rather, accept that he too can find happiness once again. A MIRRORED FACE, A TRAGIC PLACE — V; Two Birds of a Feather Should Stick Together
Closed Verse/Canon DivergenceA shared verse with Star (Kabukiccentrics.) Wrenn has a twin brother in Yuuto, and up until a certain point, they were inseparable.Then, tragedy struck, and being manipulated into thinking the other was dead, the twin brothers were indeed separated.Yuuto would go on to live the life of a bitter wanderer (Kunikuzushi) while Wrenn would become Scaramouche. THERE'S SUDDENLY A SPARK IN MY EYES — V; A Budding Seed of Hope
Closed Verse/Canon DivergenceA shared verse with Shae (starscrxssed), where Wrenn has instead stayed with Tighnari in Gandarva Ville instead of Nahida in Sumeru City. Slowly but surely, Wrenn is finding a home with Tighnari, and with it, a place where he can finally heal the many wounds on his heart. HOW DOES A PUPPET EVEN GET TIPSY? — V; Maybe I've Had One Too Many
Crack VerseWhen life gives you lemons, make lemonade!… Or make some special kind of drink that can even get a sturdy puppet like Wrenn drunk. Well, he’s not complaining. At least it’s not sickeningly sweet.Dead Dove Tags: TEAR OUT MY HEART SLOW (AND BLEED ME) — V; You're Right; I Really Haven't Had Enough

SPECIAL NOTES. • While I know it is common for Decarabian to be interpreted as a true tyrant of Old Mondstadt and evil down to his core, I firmly believe that there is merrit to the idea that Decarabian was a misguided, traumatized old king with genuinely good intentions. Like an overprotective parent.
• My Venti is Decarabian's creation, thus his "son." This doesn't apply to other Ventis--unless you want it to!
• While Decarabian took on Amos as a lover, he did not love her romantically. I am about 90% sure Decarabian will not be available for romantic shipping, but platonic and familial ships are still on the table!
• Decarabian is an old grandpa and he will call everyone a literal baby, no matter if they're an adult or not.
• While he is not at his prime, Decarabian is still a god by every right. He will not just take punches without doing some serious damage back............ BACKSTORY .Decarabian was born during a supercell thunderstorm when the winds of the storm clashed together. At first, Decarabian's intelligence was that of an animal, scared and helpless as he was tossed around by the harsh, stormy winds. He barely had a form, and already, that form was barely more than an animalistic shell that screamed and cried among the storm.When the storm settled and faded away into the sky, Decarabian was weighed down by the water that clung onto his body and he plummeted to the earth below, landing near home in which a sole woman took residence. Seeing the helpless and injured cloud sprite, she took Decarabian in and nursed him back to health, singing him soothing lullabies and lulling him to sleep when he grew restless. Hearing the human language for the first time, Decarabian started to imitate the sounds the woman was making, and his mind grew into something akin to a child. Her motherly nature drew him in, and he quickly grew to love her.He learned that her name was Τρύφαινα (Tryphaina), and when asked for a name of his own, Tryphaina gave him the name Decarabian. Even though he was nursed back to health, Decarabian found himself overly attached to the human woman, and decided to stay by her side to repay her for her kindness. She taught him not to fear the thunderstorms he had been born from, and her faith in him as a sprite gave him the ability to summon simple rain clouds that he used to water her crops and garden. She became the talk of her little village with how her produce grew larger and more abundant than her neighbors, and her happiness made Decarabian happy himself. Though when asked to help the other villagers with their gardens, Decarabian was hesitant to do so at first, but encouraged by Tryphaina to do so, and the faith the villagers had in him gave him more and more power to create better rainstorms, and their faith gave him a more solid form.Despite helping all of the village, Decarabian took care of Tryphaina's garden the best, carefully adjusting the water and magic he was producing to better suit the plants she grew. He also solely stayed with her, and even wandered into her room at night to cuddle with her as she slumbered. Over time, she grew more and more fond of her, but she was growing older and older. After living a long life, Tryphaina was on her deathbed, and for her final wish, she asked Decarabian if he could shift his form into a human one--one that her son would have looked like if he was able to grow into a young man. It was the first and only time she ever spoke of him, but he had died when he was a baby in a harsh winter a few months before Tryphaina had found and took care of Decarabian. Not fully understanding her situation, Decarabian managed to do as she asked, and took on the form of a handsome young man with long blond hair and green eyes. She thanked him for the comfort and company he provided her, and passed on quietly in the middle of the night.That was when Decarabian first felt the heartbreak of losing a loved one, and would be the last time he allowed himself to love someone so deeply for thousands of years.To honor her, Decarabian retained the form she asked him to take, and continued his work to help settlers in the lands grow their crops. As more settlers came to the land, the more faith Decarabian gained as a cloud sprite, and after one thousand years, Decarabian was blessed by a goddess and granted more power--thus solidifying himself as a being comparable to a god.Now acknowledged as a god, the settlers became his people, and adored and worshiped him as such. While Decarabian did not love these humans the same way he loved Tryphaina, his hardened heart softened as he grew to adore the humans in return. He admired how much they could do with their short lives, and how much love they could give to one another when given the chance. Seeing himself as a sort of parental guide for the humans he led, Decarabian vowed to protect his budding nation and the people that resided in it until his dying breath.So during the Archon War, when Andrius declared war on him and wild snowstorms plagued his nation, devastating the budding nation and reducing his nation of thousands to mere hundreds, Decarabian gathered as many humans into his capital as he could, and put up a protective wind barrier to protect both the survivors of his nation and himself from the onslaught of attacks.This "war" with Andrius lasted hundreds of years. With the snow storms refusing to settle and Decarabian fearing for himself and his people, he had grown more and more paranoid. As he felt the faith of his people wavering due to the older generations dying and newer generations not fully comprehending the situation, he started a ban on certain rebellious songs that would further weaken the faith his people had in him, and thus weaken his power to maintain the whirlwind wall protecting them all. Convincing himself that humans were growing more ignorant and childish, Decarabian resorted to micromanaging his nation, even to the point of deciding the living quarters of every subject and even deciding their occupations.Among the humans, one human woman caught his eye in particular. A beautiful young woman named Amos, one that reminded him of Tryphaina. He took an interest in her immediately, and eventually they grew to be lovers. However, while they were lovers and Decarabian did love Amos, he did not love her in the same way she loved him. Despite finding her company calming and soothing, there was an underlying tension he never picked up on, and thus never addressed.Soon, Decarabian was approached by a boy, begging for their whirlwind walls to be torn down. Fearful of the snow storms that continued to rage outside the capital, Decarabian ignored this boy's pleas. Having misunderstood his people's true feelings, he continued to rule as usual until the rebellion of old Mondstadt broke out. Though Decarabian had his guard and loyalists among his ranks, the Rebels overpowered him in their final battle, and Decarabian was slain on March 24th........................

There are special rules for Nahida that are non-negotiable. Please read this section in full.• Nahida in my headcanon is AroAce. This means I will not be shipping her romantically with anyone. Her relationships will remain strictly platonic or familial.• This one is a bit of a harsher rule and only applies to certain muses (Paimon, The Traveler, and Scaramouche/Wanderer) but I do not consider the full events of the 3.3 Interlude quest to be canon to my Nahida without some changes. The biggest change is that she did not intentionally trick Scaramouche into seeing the truth behind the Tatarasuna incident, and instead, Scaramouche had seen it by happenstance/on accident. While the second biggest change to my Nahida is more about interpretation, I personally interpret that Nahida had made her fairy tale of Scaramouche's memories as he was erasing himself from Irminsul in a panic as a back up plan to try and 'save' him. These are the only two changes to the interlude quest that apply to my Nahida interpretation, and I will not budge on them for personal comfort. Please respect my decisions on this matter............ BACKSTORY .
Being a newborn god when she was taken in-- Having no memories of her former glory as Sumeru's "Archon," Nahida does not have much of a "story" to tell when it came down to her own personal experiences. She could only escape her prison through her dreams, often taking the minds of birds and flying high in the open skies she deeply yearned for. She also peaked into the Akasha to see and listen to the state of Sumeru and its people, and often heard unfair criticism aimed towards her that she internalized. For 500 years, this was her life--dreaming of escapism, and only seeing the world through the remnants of Rukkhadevata's legacy her formal self's glorious invention.On occassion, Nahida would reach out to her people, especially those in crisis and need to provide them comfort, but she could not do more.Now that she has been freed by the Traveler, she aims to do anything for Sumeru... even at the cost of her own memories, or worse yet, her own life. Never again will she let her people down...... And never again will she be compared to Rukkhadevata to the person she used to be........................
