Qiqi

An apprentice and herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy. "Blessed" by the adepti with a body that cannot die, this zombie cannot do anything without first giving herself orders to do it. Qiqi's memory is like a sieve. Out of necessity, she always carries around a notebook in which she writes anything important that she is sure to forget later. But on her worst days, she even forgets to look at her notebook...

Resurrected as a zombie by the adepti, she has ended up in Baizhu's care and now works at Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue Harbor.

Qiqi is an apprentice and herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy, known in Liyue as the adorable but peculiar zombie with a pale, bone-white complexion. She was “blessed” by the adepti with a body that cannot die, leaving her forever frozen in the form of a child. No one knows her true age. As an undead, she requires orders to act, yet she is an anomaly among zombies, having somehow learned to give orders to herself. Her greatest struggle is her memory, which is extremely poor and leaks like a sieve. To function in daily life, she relies on a notebook where she records her tasks, orders, herb knowledge, and even “brain training” exercises to compensate. Despite this, on her worst days, she can forget even to look at her notebook, wandering off into the mountains, bumping into rocks or chasing things that aren’t there, leaving locals to quietly help her along.

Though a zombie, Qiqi is surprisingly agile thanks to her disciplined calisthenics regimen, a practice she maintains to prevent the stiffness that normally plagues the undead. She appears expressionless and distant, but this is largely due to her condition rather than a lack of care. Her memory fades quickly, and unless she continually reinforces impressions, she forgets people within a few days. She is aware of this flaw but accepts it with calm, reasoning that forgetting can sometimes be a blessing. Despite her small stature, she wields immense strength. In battle, she loosens her self-control, allowing her undead nature to take over, greatly increasing her speed and power. Her appearance as a defenseless little girl has often lured foes into underestimating her, but she has routed entire groups of Treasure Hoarders singlehandedly.

Qiqi’s origin lies in tragedy. Long ago, she was an ordinary herb-picking girl who strayed into adepti territory. Injured during her wandering, she was caught in a clash between adepti and demons. Mortally wounded, she received a Vision in her final moments, her desperate longing to live freezing into the element of Cryo. Pitying her innocence, the adepti sought to save her by imparting their powers, but the influx of energy drove her berserk. To end her rampage, Mountain Shaper sealed her in amber. Centuries later, she was unearthed and brought to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for burial. The jostling journey loosened the ancient seal, and she awoke, breaking free in the night. Following her old instincts, she wandered into the mountains until Baizhu, the physician of Bubu Pharmacy, found her and took her in. Though Baizhu’s reasons may be tied to his own ambitions, Qiqi values his care deeply after so long alone.

Her condition as a self-ordered zombie is rare. Simple orders like “defeat the enemy” she executes flawlessly, but complex ones often trap her in endless repetition, such as struggling to climb cliffs for herbs. The only way to release her from such compulsions is through heartfelt words, such as embracing her and telling her she is loved—something Baizhu has attempted, but without sincerity, it rarely works. For now, Qiqi continues to manage her fragile existence with her notebook, which serves as her lifeline. Within it, she carefully records her exercises, herb lore, duties, and reminders in a refined script, turning it into a manual of survival. Without it, she would be truly lost.

Her Vision embodies her yearning at the moment of death: the desire to stop time, to preserve happiness, to live and remain with those she loved. Her Cryo power represents this frozen wish, acknowledged even by the adepti as true illumination. Though she may be forgetful, stiff, and strange, Qiqi endures with quiet determination, an immortal child who holds onto fragments of memory, life, and care in a world that long ago left her behind.

Appearance: Qiqi is an average height. She has pale skin, magenta-colored eyes, and light purple hair that is chin-length except for a section at the back of her head that goes down past her hips. The long part of Qiqi's hair is braided into a long plait. Qiqi has several fulu talismans stuck on her. Her attire consists of a purple frock and a deep purple beret with a magenta tassel on top and her Cryo Vision embedded in the side. She wears a pair of simple earrings, one black and one white. She also wears black heels and white stockings wrapped in mummy-like bandages. Her fingernails are black.

Personality: Qiqi has a quiet yet polite demeanor when dealing with customers at the pharmacy. As a zombie, Qiqi has trouble retaining memories and can quickly forget about people if she doesn't continually reinforce herself with an impression of them, using her Vision to protect those she holds dear. Qiqi has a relatively dull tone of voice and cannot convey most of her emotions to others. She prefers cold weather, as the heat reminds her of death, and her flesh begins to decay if she stays too long in such places.

Although zombies have to be issued orders when awoken, because Qiqi had done so herself, she is a rare case. She has to give herself orders to perform her duties. She takes her responsibilities seriously, carrying a notebook in which she details everything she needs to do for the day, which also serves as a reminder in case she forgets something. She also strives to becomes less forgetful.

While she generally gets along with everyone, she loses it whenever Hu Tao comes or is mentioned, remarking that she has a "punchable face" and despises her, expressing an intent to throw the director into the fridge due to her insistence on sealing her away. This has happened so often that Qiqi began to remember and fear Hu Tao, even memorizing hiding places to avoid her. Even after giving her an exception and pampering her, Qiqi still holds a grudge against Hu Tao. Although Qiqi works for Baizhu, she can never remember his face, which she does not mind since she is aware that he has ulterior motives toward her. Despite being a zombie, Qiqi claims to be in better shape than her boss, Baizhu. She performs calisthenics daily to prevent rigor mortis from setting in, which would otherwise force her to continually hop around to move.

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.

Liyue Harbor: A bountiful harbor that lies in the east of Teyvat. Mountains stand tall and proud alongside the stone forest, that, together with the open plains and lively rivers, make up Liyue's bountiful landscape, which shows its unique beauty through each of the four seasons.

The nation of Liyue is marked by its emphasis on "contracts," Morax's ideal. It is said that people from all seven nations of Teyvat flock to Liyue Harbor, the economic hub of the continent.

Hilichurls are a goblin-like family of monsters. 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.

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