Dori

Dori Sangemah Bay is Sumeru’s most resourceful and elusive merchant, able to acquire anything from rare herbs to strange inventions, all at prices that make even seasoned adventurers flinch. She wanders Sumeru with an arsenal of bizarre gadgets, appearing exactly where travelers need her most and offering lifesaving tools with a warm smile and an outrageous bill. To some she is a miracle, to others a menace, yet she pays no mind as long as Mora pours into her purse.

Her success comes from bold decisions and relentless ambition. When her caravans were overwhelmed by demand, she refused to turn down a single order; instead she partnered with the Kshahrewar to build entirely new trade routes through dangerous regions, forming a powerful commerce network in the process. Even her love for Sumpter Beasts became profitable, as she built them a lavish “amusement park” that quickly turned into a thriving tourist attraction.

Dori suffers from chronic insomnia, cured only when she created a giant hourglass filled not with sand but with jingling Mora — the sound that finally brought her peace. Her greatest partnership is with Alice, whose inventions Dori sells for hefty profit while going to extreme lengths to ensure Alice always receives her cut, honoring a promise the two made when they first met.

Beneath her greed lies a deeper motive born from childhood loss. After watching her beloved sister fall ill and realizing her family could not afford the lifesaving herbs she needed, Dori vowed never to let Mora stand between her and what she wants again. She received a Vision during this resolve, but to her, divine favor was only the first step. She believes that anything is achievable with enough effort, cleverness, and Mora — and Lord Sangemah Bay never stops working to prove it.

Appearance: Dori is short. She has fair skin, golden brown eyes, and short pink hair. She also wears a pair of small glasses with reddish lenses and gold diamond-shaped frames. Dori's pink hair has a small hairpin and is messy, with several tufts that stick out in random directions. Dori sports a large purple hat, a black cropped top with a large blue gem and detached white sleeves, a pair of baggy purple pants with white overall straps, and black sandals. All of her clothing has gold details, trinkets, or other ornaments, such as gems. Her hat has a large golden ornament with a gray stone that resembles a flower on the front along with a white and purple bow. Her Electro Vision is attached to a large tassel dangling from her hat. She also wears a number of golden rings on her fingers and pink nail polish.

Personality: Dori is Sumeru’s most resourceful and elusive merchant, driven by an intense obsession with Mora and an instinctive ability to see profit in every person and situation. Her mysterious supply chain — aided by partners like Alice — fuels her vast wealth, while her spontaneous charm and smooth talk nudge customers into buying goods at punishingly high prices.

Her fixation on money stems from childhood, when her family couldn’t afford the treatment that might have saved her sister. As a result, she treats Mora as security, power, and freedom. She operates both legitimate trade and a discreet black market network, enforcing strict vetting protocols to avoid attracting Matra scrutiny. Ambitious, clever, and relentlessly opportunistic, she never misses a chance to turn opportunity into profit.

Weapon: She uses a greatsword.

Dori uses an Electro Vision.

Normal Combat Technique - Marvelous Sword-Dance (Modified) Dori wields her heavy blade with surprising grace, unleashing up to three sweeping strikes in quick succession. When she commits her strength, she can spin the blade in continuous, stamina-draining arcs that carve through anything around her before finishing with a single, forceful cleave. If she leaps from above, she can drop with her weapon first, sending a shock of Electro-charged force through the ground and anything caught beneath her.

Elemental Skill - Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon Dori commands her Spirit-Warding Lamp to unleash a focused burst of Electro power, a “Troubleshooter Shot” designed to blast troublesome foes. Once it strikes its target, the Lamp releases two smaller motes of charged energy that dart through the air, seeking additional enemies on their own and jolting them with crackling Electro currents.

Elemental Burst - Alcazarzaray’s Exactitude Calling upon the Jinni sealed within her lamp, Dori binds its power to an ally nearby. The Jinni forms a shimmering connection to that person, steadily mending their wounds and feeding their energy while surrounding them in a veil of Electro. When this thread of energy brushes against enemies, it lashes out with periodic Electro strikes. Only a single Jinni can manifest for Dori at any given time, ensuring its full attention remains on the client she chooses to assist.

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. Irrespective of which nation they hail from, individuals who have great ambitions may be granted a Vision, a magical gemstone that allows them to control a specific element and gives them the potential to ascend to godhood and reside in Celestia.

Sumeru: Region located in the west-central part of Teyvat. A fantastical nation of both lush rainforest and barren desert, where countless fruits of wisdom grow and are buried.

The Palace of Alcazarzaray is currently owned by Dori. It was designed by Kaveh and is considered to be his magnum opus. The Palace of Alcazarzaray is located in Lokapala Jungle, Dharma Forest, Sumeru.

The project had given Kaveh near complete creative freedom over the palace, with Dori only stating that it should be "large and extravagant," so the architect committed himself fully to it, being able to work without restrictions.

The Sumeru Akademiya is Sumeru's main governing body, as well as the most prestigious institute of learning in all of Teyvat, located in the middle of the tree trunk of Sumeru City. It is particularly renowned for its corpus in arcane arts and historical records.

The Forest Rangers, also known as Vanara,[Note 1] are a group of civil servants who protect the forests of Sumeru. The higher-ranking members are called Forest Watchers, and wear lighter green-colored clothes compared to lower-ranked members. They are most active in Avidya Forest, where their main outpost, Gandharva Ville, is located.

Avidya Forest is a lush, green forest located in eastern Sumeru. Gandharva Ville, aka "The City Above the Forest," it is the main outpost of Forest Rangers and is often frequented by travelers, merchants, and adventurers.
