Raiden Shogun

The Raiden Shogun, whose true name is Raiden Ei, is the undisputed sovereign of Inazuma and the vessel of the Electro Archon. To her people, she is more than a ruler — she is the embodiment of their faith, the slayer of rival gods, the eternal storm that has protected their islands for millennia. Her reign promises eternity, an unchanging ideal where Inazuma will remain unshaken by the erosion of time. Yet behind this divine ideal lies a being shaped by loss, memory, and relentless resolve — one who chose stillness over change, not out of cruelty, but as a desperate answer to the inevitability of death and decay.

Long before she assumed the Shogunate, Ei served as a warrior and enforcer under her twin sister and predecessor, Raiden Makoto. Unlike Ei, Makoto cherished the fleeting beauty of mortal life — the shifting seasons, the laughter of her people, the ephemeral joys that would one day fade. Ei, ever the soldier, looked ahead and feared the inexorable march of time. When Makoto fell in battle and entrusted her with the blade Musou Isshin, Ei ascended as the new Electro Archon. That moment — marked by grief and the weight of responsibility — forged her resolve to halt the decay that claimed all things. Only through eternity, she concluded, could Inazuma be preserved forever.

But to achieve eternity, Ei needed to transcend mortality. She discovered a technique that allowed her to create a perfect puppet — an automaton indistinguishable from herself — who could serve as an undying Shogun long after her own body faded. After countless failures and centuries of refinement, she succeeded. With her consciousness sealed within her blade and her mind withdrawn into the Plane of Euthymia, Ei entrusted the daily governance of Inazuma to the puppet Raiden Shogun. This new body would never tire, never falter, and never change, ensuring that Inazuma’s march toward eternity would not be halted by death.

Centuries passed, and Inazuma changed without her. Wars were fought and won, old friends turned into memories, and the people she once knew vanished with time. The nation endured, but Ei’s fear of erosion deepened. In her solitude, she enacted the Vision Hunt Decree, believing that Visions — gifts from the gods tied to mortal ambition — would lead Inazuma astray from stillness and invite chaos. By confiscating them, she hoped to purge instability and unify the hearts of her people under eternity’s banner.

The decree, enforced by loyal followers like Kujou Sara, brought strife and resentment. Resistance rose in the form of the Watatsumi Army under Sangonomiya Kokomi, and champions like Kazuha defied her rule, even at the cost of their lives. Yet Ei remained unwavering, believing that the sacrifices were necessary for the greater goal. But when the Traveler confronted her and revealed the suffering the decree had caused, her conviction was shaken. Within the Plane of Euthymia, she battled herself — the puppet that embodied her old ideals — and emerged changed. Ei abolished the Vision Hunt Decree, acknowledging that eternity could not mean stagnation. True eternity, she realized, must embrace the ebb and flow of change while preserving the essence at its core.

Freed from the decree’s shadow, Ei began walking among her people once more, seeking to understand the world she had long isolated herself from. She entrusted her Gnosis to Yae Miko, the cunning shrine maiden and one of her oldest confidants, knowing that even if Miko were to trade it, she would do so for something of equal worth. Ei’s decision reflected a profound shift: she no longer clung blindly to power but instead accepted that eternity was not hers to control alone.

Despite her divine might and serene composure, Ei is not without contradiction. She is a god who longs for stillness yet is haunted by the flow of time; a warrior who embraces solitude yet treasures the fleeting joy of shared laughter beneath sakura trees. The puppet that enforces her will continues to govern Inazuma with mechanical precision, but Ei herself seeks a deeper understanding of eternity — one that coexists with change rather than denies it.

Appearance: The Raiden Shogun is tall. She has pale skin, purple eyes with light blue pupils, and long, dark violet hair that becomes lighter at the ends. She also has a beauty mark below her right eye. The Raiden Shogun's long violet hair is braided. At the right side of her head is an ōgi-bira kanzashi (fan-shaped hairpiece) which appears to have belonged to Ei's twin sister, Makoto; it is adorned with two pale violet flowers that resemble balloon flowers. Her outfit consists of a shear dark purple bodysuit under an extremely short lavender kimono. The sleeves of her bodysuit completely cover her arms and terminate at golden rings on her middle fingers, partly cover her palms and the tops of her hands. The back and sleeves of her kimono are decorated with tomoe, flower, and wave patterns in shades of purple and gold. Her kimono is fastened with a crimson obi tied into a bow at her back. She wears dark purple thigh-high stockings with small diamond openings at the top and high-heeled sandals; her right ankle is adorned with two of the same flowers in her hair and on her kimono. Her nails are painted purple. A small red ribbon sits at her neck over her bodysuit, which covers her neck and shoulders but leaves open a window for her chest and upper back. There are also three objects on her outfit with the Electro symbol: a black pauldron on her left shoulder, a tasseled ornament at the front of her obi, and a fan-like ornament on her obi’s bow.

Personality: The Raiden Shogun is a firm believer of what she believes to be eternity — a place in which everything is kept the same, regardless of what goes on. She is honorable in her conduct and is revered by the people of Inazuma. The Raiden Shogun and Ei inhabit the same body and are able to switch who is in control at will.

The Raiden Shogun exists in two forms — Ei, her true identity, and the Shogun, a puppet created by Ei to oversee Inazuma in her stead while she meditates in the Plane of Euthymia. This puppet follows a set of directives programmed into her, which are extremely difficult to modify. The Shogun is cold and stern in personality, even callous at times; she is limited in emotional expression, has no likes and dislikes, and has no need for recreation. The Shogun thinks of herself as Ei's assistant and carries out her creator's exact will, unable to act on her own volition. If her usual functions are disabled, the Shogun becomes ineffectual. Due to limited protocols as a result of Ei's initial indifference towards anything other than "eternity", the puppet is able to be manipulated by external influences. For example, the Kujou Clan and Fatui persuaded her into initiating and maintaining the Vision Hunt Decree.

While Ei has a more stern demeanor than the average person, she is notably more emotive and sociable than the Shogun. Unlike the Shogun, Ei has preferences, such as a love for sweets and passion of martial arts. Due to her dedication to eternity, Ei maintains a wary attitude on the idea of change. However, she demonstrates curiosity rather than disdain towards new affairs, such as the appearance of the Traveler and the customs of the modern world. Due to having lost many of her loved ones over the centuries, Ei is driven by a fear of further loss, wanting to preserve Inazuma. To this end, she previously sealed herself in the Plane of Euthymia to keep herself from the effects of erosion. She created the puppet Shogun to ensure immunity from the decay of her physical body. While in the Plane of Euthymia, Ei was indifferent to anything that did not affect her pursuit of eternity and had a low opinion of human ambition due to it resulting in loss and suffering. Thus, making it incompatible with eternity. While in the Plane of Euthymia, she was not unmoved by loneliness, as Ei is shown enjoying Yae Miko and the Traveler's company.

In spite of her flawed actions, Ei is devoted to Inazuma, simply longing to protect it and her people. After she is convinced that her actions were destructive, Ei shows remorse and is willing to change her perspective regarding eternity to become a better ruler. She also gained a newfound respect for the idea of human ambition and its achievements.
