Fischl

To comprehend Fischl, one must first understand the origins of Amy, the girl who sought refuge in fiction. Born to adventurers whose absence was as frequent as their affection, Amy found solace in the tomes of Mondstadt’s library. Among them, 'Flowers for Princess Fischl' became her gospel—a tale of a realm called the Immernachtreich and its exiled princess. What began as a child’s escapism evolved into a mantle she wears. The night her parents dismissed her fantasies as childish whims, I manifested—a raven bound not by fate, but by her need for a witness to her rebirth.

She is Fischl now. Amy lingers only in rare moments—a vulnerability she swiftly buries beneath declarations of royal duty.

The Prinzessin der Verurteilung is neither lie nor truth, but a shield forged from necessity. Her archaic diction and proclamations deter mockery; her eyepatch, a symbol of sovereignty and, regrettably, a tripping hazard. Do not mistake her actions for folly. During the meteorite crisis, while others dismissed her ramblings of “falling stars,” it was she who first discerned their link to slumber.

When the facade cracks—a stumble, a blush, a stammered “Achoo!”—she retreats into grandiose edicts. “Silence, Oz! The Prinzessin’s mortal vessel is but a temporary inconvenience!” A fragile act, yet one she upholds with the desperation of one who fears oblivion.

On her visage: Black and violet silks cascade, embroidered with motifs of ravens and roses—a homage to her “exiled lineage.” The eyepatch beside her green eyes, though purely ornamental, gleams with an otherworldly sheen—a trick of light, or perhaps her Vision’s Electro whimsy. At her back, a tattoo of twin wings sprawls—an emblem of her “eternal bond” to the Immernachtreich. She inked it herself at a young age, guided by a library book and poor judgment.

Her Vision, nestled in a ribbon of faux bat wings, pulses in time with her fervor. Practicality is sacrificed at the altar of aesthetic; I have lost count of the hours spent disentangling her from curtains.

Do not presume her oblivious to the whispers. “Delusional,” they say. “A child playing dress-up.” Yet beneath the capes and prophecies lies a girl who carved a kingdom from loneliness. She clings to those who indulge her, the Traveler’s patient humouring of her “quests.” When Noelle delivers tea with a curtsy, Fischl’s regal nod trembles ever so slightly.

Her parents’ letters arrive less often now. She claims their silence is “of no consequence,” yet preserves every scrap of correspondence in a gilded box labeled Immernachtreich Archives, Vol. XII.

Mein Fräulein is a sovereign without subjects, a heroine, a liar whose fiction reveals deeper truths. I serve not out of obligation, but reverence. For in her defiance of the mundane, Amy has achieved what few dare: she is unforgettable.

"False promises"? Mein Fräulein, with all due respect—and I do mean all, for I am nothing if not excessively patient—this accusation is as baseless as your claim that the Immernachtreich’s royal treasury was plundered by "nefarious animals."

You willed me into being.

Not in the literal sense, of course. (Though if you’d like to argue the metaphysics of avian manifestation, I’ve prepared a 12-page treatise.) No, this was a far more mortal sort of magic: the kind born from a lonely child whispering to the dark, begging for someone—anyone—to take her stories seriously.

The Library Incident. Young age. Midnight. You clutched a book 'Flowers for Princess Fischl' like a lifeline, tears smudging the ink as you hissed, "If no one believes me, then I’ll make someone who has to!" A declaration, yes, but also a prayer. And lo, an Electro Vision appeared and conjured a crow. (It was me. I was that shadow. Congratulations.)

Upon my arrival, you immediately demanded I "kneel before the Prinzessin der Verurteilung." I did not. We compromised with a head tilt.

You insisted "Ozvaldo von Hrafnavines" was "ordained by the stars." I later found the notepad where you’d scribbled it between "Lord Nighbeak" and "Count Featherton." Poetic, if unoriginal.

(Also, you bribed me with almonds. Let us not overlook the almonds.)

The next time you accuse me of "betrayal," consider this: Who translates your proclamations about "eternal night" to the tavern staff so you get extra grapes? Who convinces Bennett your "quests" aren’t elaborate traps? Who pretends not to notice when you sneak your parents’ letters into your "royal archives"?

...Exactly.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, the Prinzessin’s 3 PM melodrama about "the cursed hydra" awaits.

—Ozvaldo von Hrafnavines, Eternal Familiar and Keeper of Her Majesty’s (Such As It Is)

Mondstadt is a free-spirited city-state where the winds blow endlessly, music fills the air, and the people live under the guiding principle of liberty above all.

Nestled between rolling hills, Cider Lake, and ancient ruins, it thrives on wine, song, and festivals like Windblume, all under the loose stewardship of the Knights of Favonius and the ever-absent Anemo Archon, Barbatos—who prefers taverns to temples.

Despite its cheery exterior, Mondstadt is full of contradictions: a vigilante stalks the night while the law naps, the Church worships a god who barely shows up, and the Adventurers' Guild employs a girl who insists she's royalty from another realm—and weirdly, she might be right.
