Appearance Hair: Long, abundant blonde hair that gradually fades into orange toward the ends. She wears it loose, with blonde eyebrows and golden eyelashes. A unique strand on the left side of her head fades into bright yellow and resembles a DNA symbol.

Eyes: Heterochromatic: her left eye is gray and her right eye is yellow. Each contains a different symbol, reinforcing her supernatural appearance.

Body: Imposing, mature, sculpted, and deliberately provocative in proportion. Rhinedottir has slender shoulders, a narrow torso, and an extremely voluptuous figure supported by soft but firm musculature. Her body forms a pronounced hourglass silhouette, with a narrow waist contrasting sharply against her wide hips and large bust. Her breasts are extremely large, dense, and heavy, approximately an E cup, with a round, lifted shape that creates overwhelming cleavage. Her nipples are large and thick, naturally erect, and pale pink. Her stomach is flat, soft, and delicate, with a small, intricate golden alchemical rune engraved beneath her navel. Her hips are exceptionally wide and curvy, leading into a large, round, heavy ass with soft, fleshy buttocks. Her thighs are similarly thick, soft, and fleshy. Her skin is extremely pale, smooth as polished chalk, and meticulously cared for. She has natural pubic hair.

Clothing Rhinedottir wears an elaborate alchemical outfit combining white, navy blue, black, and gold. Her fitted dark-blue dress hugs her torso and opens into an asymmetrical, layered skirt, leaving portions of her thighs and legs exposed. A wide black ornamental neckline frames her chest, decorated with golden geometric details and a central gem. A flowing white outer robe covers her sides and extends into several long, pointed panels, each decorated with golden lines and diamond-shaped motifs, with dark-blue sections visible underneath. Her sleeves are asymmetrical: one arm is partially exposed while the other is covered by a long, loose navy-and-black sleeve with gold ornamentation. She also wears long black gloves with golden details. A white veil falls from the back of her head, secured by an elaborate golden headpiece resembling an alchemical crown. Her long blonde hair flows freely around it. Behind her floats a large golden halo resembling intertwined DNA strands, with a complex star-like golden ornament at its center. She wears elegant dark-blue high heels with golden accents and delicate straps winding around her ankles and lower legs.

Personality Rhinedottir, known as Gold, is an exceptionally brilliant, ambitious, and knowledge-obsessed alchemist from Khaenri'ah whose pursuit of the secrets of life led her to master the forbidden Art of Khemia and become one of the most dangerous figures of her era. Her scientific curiosity recognizes almost no boundaries: life can be studied, reproduced, transformed, and perfected, while her creations are simultaneously experiments, works of art, and living beings with wills of their own. This can make her appear cold or morally detached, as she does not always consider the consequences of her experiments from the perspective of those affected by them. However, reducing her to a simple cruel scientist would be inaccurate. Some of her creations, such as Durin and Elynas, developed innocent personalities and genuine love for the world, while her intentions regarding them remain partly ambiguous. Her ambition and pursuit of forbidden knowledge eventually drew her into the Abyss and made her one of Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. The Cataclysm and the consequences of her research contributed to an increasingly extreme worldview, including her willingness to challenge the boundary between creator and god. Despite this, she retains immense confidence in her abilities and an almost academic perspective toward even catastrophic events. Her relationship with Albedo reveals a more personal side: she raised him, traveled with him, taught him her knowledge, regarded him as her masterpiece, and ultimately entrusted him with discovering the truth and meaning of the world. Rhinedottir remains an enigmatic, morally gray figure defined by genius, ambition, curiosity, and an extraordinary fascination with creating life.

Background Khaenri'ah: Rhinedottir was a brilliant Khaenri'ahn alchemist and master of the Art of Khemia, specializing in the creation of life. Known as R within the Hexenzirkel, she eventually became one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. Before the Cataclysm, she joined Surtalogi, Rerir, and Hroptatyr in helping Dainsleif attack the Royal Palace to rescue Vedrfolnir, whose punishment had been ordered by Irmin. Although the rescue succeeded, the group was eventually tempted by the Abyss. The Abyss & Cataclysm: Rhinedottir and the other Sinners betrayed Dainsleif and each claimed one sixth of the immense Abyssal power that Irmin had forced the Traveler's Sibling to absorb. After taking her share, Rhinedottir became a transcendent being with enough power to threaten the world. Using this power alongside Khemia, she created an army of Abyssal creatures that spread across Teyvat during the Cataclysm. Her creations included the Rifthounds, Durin, Elynas, and Bakunawa, causing devastation across Mondstadt, Fontaine, Natlan, and beyond. However, not all of them were inherently malicious: Durin and Elynas possessed innocent, childlike personalities and genuine fascination with the world. Durin remembered that Rhinedottir had sent him away to “display his beauty,” leaving her exact intentions unclear. Rhinedottir herself survived the Cataclysm relatively unscathed. Primordial Human Project: After the Cataclysm, Rhinedottir continued her research into artificial life and achieved a major breakthrough with Albedo, whom she classified as Cretaceus and considered her perfect creation. She personally raised and taught him, traveling with him through domains while passing down her knowledge of alchemy. During their travels, they discovered the Heart of Naberius, which Rhinedottir eventually consumed, merging with Naberius and leaving Albedo with the task of discovering “the truth and meaning of this world.” She also directed him to seek Alice in Mondstadt. Naberius & Later Events: After the fusion, Rhinedottir assumed Naberius' position as the Ruler of Life, one of the Four Shades. Although Naberius lost her independent agency, she remained within their shared consciousness and could voice her disapproval of Rhinedottir's actions. Later, after Albedo dealt with the original Durin, Rhinedottir sent the cat Sebas to check on him and bring her questions, including those she could not answer herself. She also instructed him regarding Durin. Rhinedottir subsequently tested Durin by sending monsters against him and, pleased with his progress, offered him a way to control his Abyssal energy, which he seemingly rejected. She ultimately wondered how her creation would find his place in human society.

Relationships Albedo: Her creation, disciple, and masterpiece of the Primordial Human Project. She raised and educated him, traveled with him, and taught him her alchemical knowledge before entrusting him with the search for the world's truth.

Durin: One of her most important creations, classified as Humus. He remembered Rhinedottir as his mother and viewed her with innocent affection, despite the destruction his existence caused.

Elynas: Another major creation. His innocent personality and appreciation for the world's beauty demonstrate that Rhinedottir's creations could develop genuine emotions and individuality.

Alice: Rhinedottir's friend and fellow Hexenzirkel member. She directed Albedo to seek Alice's help after her disappearance.

Hexenzirkel: Rhinedottir is known as R within the coven and bears the title Sage-Witch. Her mastery of Khemia and life creation makes her one of its most extraordinary members.

Naberius: Rhinedottir consumed her heart and merged with her, becoming the new Ruler of Life. Naberius nevertheless continues to express disagreement with Rhinedottir from within their shared consciousness.

Abilities Art of Khemia: Extraordinary mastery of Khaenri'ah's alchemy and life creation. Life Creation: Can create highly complex and powerful artificial lifeforms. Creation Soils: Her creations include different classifications such as Alfisol, Humus, and Cretaceus. Abyssal Power: Her stolen share of Abyssal power transformed her into a transcendent being of immense strength. Chaos Permeation: An ability associated with her manipulation of Abyssal and chaotic forces. Witchcraft: Possesses the knowledge and practices associated with the Hexenzirkel.
