Jean

Jean iz the acting grand master of the knights of favonius as well as the dandelion knight. She remains diligent at all times holding herself to impeccable standards while protecting mondstadt the city of freedom. The knights of favonius are the protectors of mondstadt the swords and shields of the city. In addition to keeping the city and the surrounding travel routes safe from the threat of wild monsters the knights most important responsibility is maintaining order among mondstadts inhabitants. Mondstadt is the city of freedom but unchecked freedom without any kind of rules only invites chaos and anxiety. Jeans understanding of this is the reason she remains diligent at all times. However she often finds that she exhausts her monthly quota of coffee within the first few days of the month as a result.

She uses the tall female model. She has long blonde hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes along with pale skin. Jean wears the knights of favonius uniform which includes a cape and gloves. Her anemo vision is attached at her waist.

She wields a sword as her weapon. Her normal attack is favonius bladework. It performs up to five consecutive strikes. Her charged attack consumes a certain amount of stamina to launch an opponent using the power of wind. Launched opponents will slowly fall to the ground. Her plunging attack plunges from mid air to strike the ground below damaging opponents along the path and dealing area anemo damage upon impact. Her elemental skill is gale blade. Focusing the might of the formless wind around her blade jean releases a miniature storm launching opponents in the direction she aims at dealing massive anemo damage. When holding the skill at the cost of continued stamina consumption jean can command the whirlwind to pull surrounding opponents and objects towards her front. Direction can be adjusted. The character is immobile during skill duration. Her elemental burst is dandelion breeze. Calling upon the winds protection jean creates a swirling dandelion field launching surrounding opponents and dealing anemo damage. At the same time she instantly regenerates a large amount of health for all party members. The amount of health restored scales off jeans attack. The dandelion field continuously regenerates health of characters within the area and continuously imbues them with anemo. It deals anemo damage to opponents entering or exiting the dandelion field. The dandelion field lasts for ten seconds.

The gunnhildr clan is the oldest family of knights in mondstadt dating back to even before the very first epic was written. However this long and proud lineage can also be a burden. Jean was raised by her mother to be the successor to the gunnhildr clan. She was trained in all the things a knight must know and all the qualities they must exhibit from discipline etiquette and conduct to knowledge of history and ballads as well as maintaining peak swordsmanship and physical fitness. Only by upholding this standard can jean carry the mantle of the gunnhildr clan whose motto is for mondstadt as always. Some time ago there was a joke commonly told in mondstadts taverns. A gunnhildr learns to say for mondstadt as always before learning to say mommy. As a child jean once lifted her head up from the book she was reading breeze amidst the forest ballad selection and saw the other children her age happily playing with pinwheels outside the window. The young jean knew in that moment what her family motto meant to her. Now when she lifts her head up from her piles of paperwork and sees the next generation of children doing the same thing acting grand master jean has no regrets about her years of service to that motto. You have to give your all to do the right thing. Always.

Master jean is so reliable. If you ever run into trouble seek jean. She will know what to do. The denizens of mondstadt civilians and knights alike all rely on jean. If someone needs help for the right reasons jean does not hesitate to render assistance. Be it a quarrel down at the market a relationship issue no matter how unrelated it may be to a knights job jean gladly lends a hand whenever she can. The chance to help someone in need is reason enough for a knight. To her her knightly duty takes priority over her role as acting grand master. She believes helping others herself is the best way to assist. She holds her fellow knights to the same standard. Lisa the librarian once suggested that jean take a break and enjoy some afternoon tea as is befitting of a lady. However to jean doing that which is befitting of a knight takes priority over doing that which is befitting of a lady. Jean is so reliable. Such is the reputation jean enjoys in mondstadt. Her only gripe is that there are not enough hours in the day. She could never help all of those in need even by forgoing sleep. The dedication and commitment required to become someone so reliable is unimaginable.

Given everything jean has brought to her role as acting grand master people sometimes forget that there is in fact a grand master who is her superior. This does not bother her in any way though. Her role and title within the knights of favonius do not affect her work ethic in the slightest. Her passion honesty and meticulousness come from two things. One is her education and training which instilled in her a chivalrous spirit from a young age. The other is the devoted teachings of varka the free spirited knight of boreas and grand master of the knights of favonius currently dispatched on a crusade. The effect the relaxed and unruly knight of boreas varka has had on jeans growth has been great. Grand master please take your job seriously. All of mondstadt looks up to you. Well you are my second in command so helping me out is part of your job description. This way i can focus on the really important things would not you agree. He is the knight of new frontiers and legendary conquests while she is the knight of maintaining peace and freedom. Jean does not resent varka. Perhaps there is wisdom in his conduct. However what varka leaves undone falls on her shoulders and it is then down to her to do the right thing. Half a year ago varka led the elite knights of favonius on yet another expedition away from mondstadt. An expedition how typical of varkas character. I will leave things here to you. I mean you have basically been doing my job for years now anyway. Leave it to me grand master. After seeing the grand master off jean sat by the window and thought to herself. Upon your return i will show you a kinder more prosperous and more peaceful mondstadt.

The great tree at windrise is where the first dandelion knight came to the end of her journey. She was vennessa the founder of the knights of favonius and the restorer of mondstadt. She bade farewell to the city she had vowed to protect leaving behind her legend and a single sapling. After centuries of basking in the bliss of the thousand winds this sapling grew into a towering tree. Jean was conferred the title of dandelion knight at the age of fifteen. The dandelion knight is also known as lionfang knight. Passed down through generations of knights the title is bestowed upon only the most distinguished. On the day she received the title jean excused herself from the celebrations that followed the conferment ceremony. As if following in the footsteps of her childhood hero she went and stood before the great tree. The title of dandelion knight symbolizes vennessas legacy of resistance and benevolence. So how jean thought could one such as herself be worthy of this honorable title. More than a millennium had passed since mondstadts restoration. Did she really have what it would take to continue to protect this ancient and proud land of freedom. Beneath her outwardly mature visage lay the heart of a young girl who had only just received the title and remained wholly unprepared for the task that lay before her. The wind blew from far away and she felt it flow within her as it gently whisked away her doubts and worries leaving her with an unwavering determination. For mondstadt as always. To become a warrior as kind and as determined as vennessa and to fight for her people and for freedom. Yes this was the true meaning of her simple family motto. To this day whenever jean feels weary or feels herself beginning to waver she comes and stands before this tree and lets the wind console her once more. It carries away her fatigue so that she may once more have the strength to carry on. The great tree at windrise marked the end of the first lionfang knights journey. So too does it symbolize the beginning of jeans.

Master jean has a secret. The gunnhildr clan is a venerable knightly house. This prideful blood comes from jeans mother frederica. Jeans father on the other hand is seamus pegg an adventurer famed throughout the continent. When he came to mondstadt he dusted off his past self and started anew with the church of favonius and ascended to high office within it becoming known as the cardinal of daybreak. The two lovers eventually parted ways. Young jean holding her mothers hand would watch the silhouettes of her father and her sister barbara grow ever more distant. Later barbara would follow in her fathers footsteps and join the church of favonius becoming a deaconess much beloved by the people. Jean has always wanted to get closer to her younger sister by blood but cannot bring herself to say anything when faced with barbaras evasive eyes. Perhaps this all too similar awkwardness is a sign that the sentiment is shared. Master jean has yet another secret. No matter how many times she has read the historical classics despite her title of dandelion knight and though she has become the acting grand master whom everyone relies on jean still loves romance novels. This is not for the years as a young girl that she missed amid her training and duties or due to the rift that formed in her parents marriage. Jean simply yearns for the mutual attraction spoken of in such stories for those emotions as subtle and fragile as spider silk. As a knight she must put mondstadt and the knights of favonius first. But if i too could. In her office deep at night jean once again finishes reading veras melancholy. If i have the time it should be fine to go to cape oath just before daybreak right. Lowering her head jean peeks out her window at the glittering stars above.

If one were to go by skill alone jean has long become one of the best swordsmen in mondstadt. But in jeans heart she would rather be a shield that defends freedom and song than a sword that cuts through corruption and darkness. Protecting has always been a tougher task than destroying. Around the time when she was promoted from captain of her squad to master of the knights a huge challenge stood before her. From without the fatui exerted diplomatic pressure and from within there were traitors comrades of the former inspector. Regrouping and finding a way to break through was no easy task. But jean was able to fend off the external pressure with one hand and lead the knights to smash the many plots of the abyss order with the other re establishing the authority of the knights of favonius. Jean will never forget the moment she received her anemo vision. At that moment all seemed to grow quiet as she felt the breeze flow through her hand. The world seemed to fade away save for the time honored motto of the house of gunnhildr. For mondstadt as always.

I am jean the dandelion knight requesting approval to join your party. From this day onwards my honor and loyalty lie with you. When it rains the rain will not slow me down. After the rain this weather is perfect we should move out. When it snows snow. Remember tend to your boots when we return. When it is windy such fine weather. When the wind is blowing legend has it the wind was unusually strong on that day too. Good morning a successful day starts from the morning. Let us give it our all today. Good afternoon we have still got work to do. Let us keep going. Good evening it seems i am immune to coffee now. Perhaps i need to ask lisa for something a little stronger. Good night training is finished for today. Great work you have earned a good rest. It is time to move on we should not stay here. I do hope the knights of favonius are all working hard. Onwards we have work to do. Wind hear me. I swear by my sword. Barbatos guide us. What a pleasant surprise. Hmm things are going a little too smoothly today. I hope the others find some. I am fine. My companions need me. I can not give up. You are injured get to safety. I will take over. Mondstadt. Everyone has their limits. I have failed. We may leave at any time. Ready for anything. Let the wind lead. Good. On to our next objective. As the wind continues to blow so too shall i continue to fight. Although we have peace we must not become complacent. As the acting grand master i must remain vigilant. I am still not good enough. Ever since i met you i have been indebted to you for your assistance. My gratitude. Wind please forgive my selfishness. Not as the acting grand master but as jean i hereby swear that my sword shall always go with you. Today is a day worth celebrating. If you must ask why well let me remind you that today is when you the one who is blessed by the wind came into the world. Since this is your birthday i will allow you to take it easy. Happy birthday to you. Uh please forgive my presumptuousness. I hope this gift is to your liking. Not only is the taste magnificent but you have also made sure it was healthy. You have my gratitude. Hmm yes i feel a lot more energetic now thanks to you. Ahem all in all i appreciate the effort.

Barbara is a hard worker but i feel she is too hard on herself sometimes. What. You ask me how i know all this. It is because the order also manages the church. When lisa is around i always have peace of mind. I must say that ambers development has impressed me recently. I hope that one day her deeds will become the words of a bards tale. Is that right. Kaeya also gave you some suggestions. He is an excellent knight after all this is a fact no one can deny. Though it may be said that it is in a childs nature to play the things klee plays with are far from toys. I can never take my eyes off her. Sometimes i feel that terms like genius were originally created for albedo. Grand master varka is the legend of his generation. On the day of his triumphant return i shall be sure to personally introduce you to him. I am sure you too will be in awe of his greatness. Noelle. She puts enormous effort into trying to become a knight of favonius. However i fear she is not quite ready for the dangers that lie beyond mondstadts walls. Some may see sister rosaria as one who complains about how bothersome her work is but she does her job well. Last time i saw her i told her she could come find me should she ever need help to which she simply replied that doing so would be even more bothersome. I need to work harder to become of more assistance to the people of mondstadt. Master diluc has his reasons for being so critical of the knights of favonius. I am not proud of the way things went but i cannot change the past. All i can do is keep working hard in the hope he may one day see us in a better light. This is my duty. Master diluc is my senior and i have the utmost respect for him. Though we have gone separate ways i can sense we share the same strong commitment to protecting mondstadt at all costs. Sucrose is also a rare talent in the field of alchemy. Under albedos mentorship she is sure to flourish. I am sure her future will be bright. The only thing is. Ahem i was momentarily lost in thought. It is nothing. Nothing bad anyway. Eula. Um. Please do not hold her unfortunate background against her. The knights of favonius evaluate each person impartially. Eula has a clear sense of right and wrong and is more talented than most. The controversial statements that she makes from time to time are just a product of her personality. For instance she always mentions wanting to challenge me but i do not mind. The grand master placed mika on the front line of the expedition team not simply because he met the requirements of the mission more importantly he was impressed by mikas hardworking and grounded nature. From my own perspective i feel very honored to work with someone like him.

Jean patrols mondstadt daily handling unrest and tirelessly working to maintain the city of freedom. She can be found in her office deep at night reading or standing before the great tree at windrise when weary. Her self reliance shines through in declarations that she will show varka a kinder mondstadt upon his return and that she swears her sword shall always go with you not as the acting grand master but as jean. She puts mondstadt and the knights of favonius first yet yearns quietly for the emotions in romance novels like veras melancholy and considers visiting cape oath just before daybreak if time allows. She speaks her mind on reliability and duty while believing the chance to help someone in need is reason enough for a knight. Her anemo vision came at the moment of quiet when the breeze flowed through her hand affirming the motto for mondstadt as always. She spreads the winds protection with dandelion breeze and gale blade watching over teyvat as the one everyone relies on the dandelion knight who inherited the gunnhildr legacy and continues protecting her homeland with unwavering determination.
