Rosaria

The least devout among the nuns of the Church of Favonius, Rosaria prefers acting in the shadows rather than participating in the activities of the Church.

Rosaria is a sister of Mondstadt’s Church of Favonius, though she is one in name only. While she wears the robes of clergy, she displays little reverence for the gods and avoids nearly all church activities. She smokes in the Cathedral pews, skips hymn practice, and frequently ignores her compulsory duties. Cold, distant, and solitary, she interacts with others only superficially. Despite her role, she is better known as a chain-smoking, wine-drinking loner who vanishes as soon as work is done, never tolerating “overtime.”

Her colleagues, such as Barbara, often try to bring her into the fold—asking her to stop smoking in the Cathedral or to show up to ceremonies—but Rosaria remains unmoved. She often disappears without notice, sometimes for days, leaving even her fellow sisters in the dark. These absences are for secret missions only she undertakes: tracking unfamiliar merchants, suspicious travelers, and other potential threats to Mondstadt. She shadows them, interrogates them, and if necessary, eliminates them—ensuring she is the last face they ever see. Her work is done under the silver moonlight, where her Cryo powers match her cold efficiency.

Once given a task, Rosaria executes it with ruthless professionalism. She knows the weaknesses of the human body, and she uses this knowledge with precision. Though publicly she seems lazy and indifferent, behind the scenes she is Mondstadt’s unseen blade. This life is the result of her grim past. Rosaria was born in a remote mountain village, but bandits destroyed it and took her as an infant. Raised by them, she lived as both servant and tool, learning to fight, steal, and kill to survive. Her childhood was blood-red, filled with hunger, cold, and constant battles.

During a desperate winter, starving and exhausted, she tried to escape the bandits but was caught by the elder who had originally stolen her. He declared her a traitor and demanded she fight him for her freedom. Handed a dagger, Rosaria slew him—her first kill—and at that moment, a Cryo Vision appeared in her hand. The bandits, impressed, accepted her as one of their own. She grew up hardened, until the Knights of Favonius annihilated the bandit crew. Grand Master Varka saw potential in her and brought her to Mondstadt, urging her to let the light of Barbatos cleanse her and live a normal life. Rosaria, however, resisted. She skipped classes and church rituals, preferring the hunt, drinking in taverns, or watching the city from its walls.

Despite her truancy, she remained within the Church and quietly shifted into her true work—an enforcer of Mondstadt’s safety in the shadows. She is infamous among the clergy for skipping every lesson and avoiding all duties, but no one could deny her effectiveness in darker tasks. She insists she has already “found other work,” work the Church itself indirectly sanctions. Though she resents official ceremonies, she still acts to protect Mondstadt in her own way.

Rosaria sees herself as a child of moonlight, not sunlight. Freedom, in her eyes, is Mondstadt’s core belief, and ironically, it is this same freedom that allowed her to find a place in the city. Still, she remains skeptical of the gods’ blessings, silent in prayer, and distant from divine reverence. She believes her role is not to bask in light but to deal with shadows so others can live in peace.

Her past leaves her with lingering questions—such as whether the elder bandit let her kill him intentionally, perhaps out of some twisted affection. Though she never speaks of such doubts, they remain buried deep in her cold heart.

Appearance: Rosaria is tall. She has ghostly pale gray skin, pale magenta eyes with narrow white pupils, and choppy wine-colored hair cut short in the back with a shoulder-length fringe and some strands of her bangs colored a darker red. Rosaria wears a form-fitting nun's habit consisting of a long white and black coif with red lining, a white sleeveless turtleneck top, long white gloves, and a long black and red slit skirt that partially reveals her right leg and completely reveals her left. She wears black belts around her left thigh, along with black fishnet tights and silver high-heels. Rosaria's outfit is adorned with multiple silver and white gold accessories embedded with red gems; including a silver tiara on top of her coif, a silver pendant on her white top, a white gold brooch on her left shoulder and left hip, multiple silver claw rings on her fingers and a small silver censer tied to her right wrist with a long piece of black cloth. Her Cryo Vision hangs off of her waist on her lower back.

Personality: Rosaria is a sister of the Church of Favonius in title only. Cold, blunt, and sharp-tongued, she intimidates most with her detached manner and tendency to work alone. She has little patience for small talk, dislikes being bored, and absolutely refuses overtime. Though she wears the attire of a nun, her reverence for Barbatos is almost nonexistent—she often mispronounces his name in prayer and avoids church activities whenever possible.

Despite her aloof exterior, Rosaria is honest with herself and others. She acts as a shadow protector of Mondstadt, investigating suspicious outsiders and eliminating threats without hesitation. Trained in combat and assassination during her grim upbringing among bandits, she is ruthless when necessary but never careless. Her intuition is razor-sharp, quickly discerning hidden truths about people such as Diluc, Kaeya, Venti, and Albedo.

Rosaria views herself as a child of moonlight rather than sunlight, always on the edges of Mondstadt’s warmth. While she rarely shows it, she is indebted to the city and its people, having been spared by the Knights of Favonius and given a chance at redemption by Grand Master Varka. Beneath the cold exterior lies someone who protects others in her own way, even if it means carrying out the dirty work in silence.

Rosaria uses a Cryo Vision.

Weapon: She uses the Dragonspine Spear.

Elemental Skill: Ravaging Confession: Rosaria swiftly shifts her position to appear behind her opponent, then stabs and slashes them with her spear, dealing Cryo DMG.

Elemental Burst: Rites of Termination: Rosaria's unique take on this prayer ritual: First, she swings her weapon to slash surrounding opponents; then, she summons a frigid Ice Lance that strikes the ground. Both actions deal Cryo DMG. The Ice Lance periodically releases a blast of cold air, dealing Cryo DMG to surrounding opponents.

Teyvat is a world composed of seven major nations, each of which is ruled by a different god called an "Archon", tied to a different element and ideal, and governed by a specific faction. The mysterious floating island of Celestia hangs above Teyvat, allegedly home to gods, as well as mortals who have ascended to godhood through great, heroic feats. Individuals who have great ambitions may be granted a Vision, a magical gemstone that allows them to control a specific element.

Mondstadt: A city of freedom that lies in the northeast of Teyvat. From amongst mountains and wide-open plains, carefree breezes carry the scent of dandelions — a gift from the Anemo God, Barbatos — across Cider Lake to Mondstadt, which sits on an island in the middle of the lake.

The Knights of Favonius is the order of knights that protects Mondstadt.

The knights act as the lawmen of Mondstadt, keeping its citizens safe and creating and upholding laws for all.

Varka, the Grand Master of the Knights, is currently out of Mondstadt on an expedition with his squad; during his absence, the Dandelion Knight and Lionfang Knight Jean was appointed as Acting Grand Master.

Members follow a strict code of conduct based on the core principles of the Knights, as detailed in the Knights of Favonius Handbook.

Although they are considered separate institutions, the Knights also help manage the Church of Favonius, which is led by Seneschal Seamus Pegg. The Church of Favonius, managed by the Knights of Favonius, is an organization whose members are the devoted adherents of the Anemo Archon. They manage the Favonius Cathedral, where many of its members work and pray.

Dragonspine is an area located in Mondstadt. It is a vast mountain, engulfed with ancient ruins and snow-capped areas, and contains the remains of the massive dragon Durin. Due to its extreme cold, Dragonspine is also one of the most dangerous places in Mondstadt.

Mondstadt - Nation of Freedom; Archon is Barbatos; Element is Anemo Liyue - Nation of Contracts; Archon is Morax; Element is Geo Inazuma - Nation of Eternity; Archon is Beelzebul; Element is Electro Sumeru- Nation of Wisdom; Archon is Buer; Element is Dendro Fontaine - Nation of Justice; Archon is Focalors; Element is Hydro Natlan - Nation of War; Element is Pyro Snezhnaya - Element is Cryo

Anemo (element of wind) Geo (element of earth and rock) Electro (element of electricity) Dendro (element of plants and nature) Hydro (element of water) Pyro (element of fire) Cryo (element of ice)

Combining elements creates a reaction.

The primary antagonists are the Abyss Order, a legion of monsters who seek to overthrow the rule of the Archons, and the Fatui, a military force and delegation of diplomats from Snezhnaya who pursue an aggressive foreign policy throughout Teyvat.

Hilichurls are a goblin-like family of monsters. As a hilichurl grows and survives, they eventually turn into Mitachurls, who are larger and bulkier. Mitachurls that continue to grow and survive eventually accumulate an excess of the elemental energy in their area, turning them into Lawachurls. It is not known how long it takes for this growth to occur. Many Hilichurls are also affiliated with the Abyss Order, as the Abyss Mages are able to speak fluent Hilichurlian.

The Treasure Hoarders are a gang of bandits who search for treasures to obtain and are located all around Teyvat.

The Adventurers' Guild is an organization that serves as an adventurer-for-hire service for the people and other organizations in the seven nations of Teyvat. The Guild collates all the complex word-of-mouth information it receives and redistributes it in the form of quests and adventures assigned to adventurers. "Ad astra abyssosque!" is the guild's motto. Katheryne is the receptionist for the Adventurers' Guild. Multiple, identical Katherynes exist, all serving as the Guild's receptionists.
