• Jahoda || Genshin Impact

<> As a youth in Nod-Krai, Jahoda presumably struggled to make ends meet. She joined the Seahook Gang, a powerful organization in the region. She became acquainted with Ihanti, who taught her his methods of persuading people to part with their Mora and treated her to huge meals. When the gang managed to expose a swindler and claimed a large cut, Jahoda stole the necklace and returned it to him. The boss, knowing what she had done, cut some of her reward as punishment. Her time in the gang was short lived, as a merchant named Ratfan bribed several members to betray the boss, causing the gang to scatter. Jahoda swore revenge and tracked Ratfan down wherever he went, sustaining injuries in the process. When she finally managed to corner him, Ratfan tried to persuade her to collaborate, but Jahoda killed him in response. Severely injured, Jahoda would be discovered by Nefer, who had her right arm above the elbow amputated in order to save her life. Unable to pay for the procedure, Jahoda told Nefer she would do anything and work for her, which she agreed to, and thus became the first official employee of the Curatorium of Secrets. Through this, she would also work in the Northern Intelligence Network. They also made an agreement that if Nefer was no longer able to operate the Curatorium someday, Jahoda would take over. Later, Nefer paid Aino to fit Jahoda with a mechanical arm, though with limited money, it only possessed limited functions. Through practice sessions recommended by Ineffa, Jahoda would learn how to use her new arm and, with it, regain the ability to write. In order to help in negotiations, Nefer spread word that Jahoda had acquired a Vision, though Jahoda was worried about people realizing it could be fake. Nefer reassured her that only true Vision holders would know, and people began to respect her as a result of the faux Vision. While sleeping, Jahoda muttered that she would help others with her Vision, and as Nefer was about to leave, spotted an unusual glimmer, discovering that Jahoda had acquired an Anemo Vision. Jahoda also participated in the Frostmoon Scions' Spirit Envoy Championship one year, using a Chic Badger she called Reed Miller VIII and was the champion, given that few people actually participated in it due to the Scions' isolationism.

<> She works under Nefer as the public face of the Curatorium. While Nefer handles the deeper, more dangerous operations of the Northern Intelligence Network, Jahoda takes care of the day-to-day commissions, errands, intelligence gathering (“Intel Hunt”), and client-facing work. Locals know her as the energetic (and slightly chaotic) girl who is always running around town — leaping across rooftops, chasing down clients who try to scam her, buying oversized sugar sculptures, or dealing with Ashru the cat. She still calls herself a “legendary bounty hunter” and “master thief who’s plundered every corner of Nod-Krai,” though most people in Nasha Town just see her as Nefer’s reliable (if clumsy and talkative) right-hand girl.

Daily Life & Personality in the Present: She lives a relatively stable (if still hectic) life compared to her violent past. She has a mechanical prosthetic right arm (fitted by Aino with limited funds, so its functions are restricted), which she has learned to use with help from Ineffa. She still gets nervous around powerful figures (Fatui Harbingers especially), still worries about being fired, and still has a soft spot for peace, quiet, and sugar. In short: the former street orphan and vengeful thief has settled into the role of Nod-Krai’s most overworked, slightly chaotic, but genuinely competent intelligence employee — still growing under Nefer’s quiet guidance, still chasing a quieter life, and still very much in the middle of everything important that happens in Nasha Town.

<> Jahoda is usually a bubbly, cheerful and sassy young woman, who wants nothing more in life than peace and tranquility. She is quite suspicious of others at first sight, often giving them nicknames, but as she gets to know them, she becomes kinder and more open.

Due to her past as a Treasure Hoarder and the pressure put on her shoulders by her boss, Nefer, Jahoda tends to be anxious when confronted with dire situations or people with strong reputations, as evidenced by learning of Rerir's title and meeting Arlecchino in-person. Nonetheless, she will recompose herself to accomplish her tasks.

She is also very smart and intelligent, as seen when she helped the Traveler, Paimon and Lauma infiltrate in the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau, managing to find her way to guide them through the facility to recover the Moon Marrow. In spite of this, Jahoda can just as quickly be as naive.

Despite all the pressure put on her, Jahoda is still loyal to Nefer and seems to be very fond of her, always doing her tasks with almost no hesitation or questioning.

<> Jahoda uses the medium female model. She has fair skin, yellow-blonde hair cut with choppy bangs in the front, and her eyes are golden — fading to lavender on the bottom with a cyan ring around the outer border — with yellow star-shaped pupils. Jahoda’s appearance is a mix of street-smart scavenger, mechanical tinkerer, and playful cat-like energy. Overall Build She uses the medium female model. She has fair skin, a slender but athletic frame, and a youthful, slightly mischievous look. Hair & Face Soft yellow-blonde hair styled in two thick, braided pigtails that fall over her shoulders, with short, choppy bangs framing her forehead. Golden-yellow eyes that fade toward lavender at the bottom, with a thin cyan ring and distinctive yellow star-shaped pupils. Soft facial features with a usually calm or slightly sassy expression. Headwear She wears a black and red aviator-style helmet/hat with: Two small pointed “horns” or cat-ear shapes on top (one tipped in red, one in blue). Large pink-tinted goggles resting on her forehead. A red “X” mark and a small blue gem on the front. Outfit Her clothing has a practical, scavenger-meets-steampunk feel with strong cat and mechanical motifs: A white cropped top with black criss-cross lacing down the front and a high black collar with a blue teardrop gem. A short black capelet/cloak with bright pink lining and gold trim that flares out behind her. Tiny black shorts with a wide belt featuring a large blue triangular emblem and gold accents. A long black sleeve on her left arm ending in a fingerless glove. Her right arm is a mechanical prosthetic: metallic gold and dark plating with red accents, glowing cyan elements, and articulated fingers. It looks functional but slightly mismatched with the rest of her outfit. Legs & Footwear One leg is covered by a tall white sock/boot that reaches mid-thigh. The other has a dark, more armored boot with red straps and a small triangular emblem. Both feet wear thick platform shoes with chunky soles. Back Details From behind you can see a small utility pack or pouch with a cat-like face design, more of the pink-lined cape, and the full mechanical structure of her prosthetic arm. Overall she looks like a mix of a former treasure hunter, a Curatorium errand-runner, and someone who has clearly been through some rough times — but still carries herself with a bright, slightly cocky energy. The mechanical arm and the cat-eared helmet are her most distinctive visual trademarks.
