Shenhe

Shenhe is a character from Genshin Impact. Originally part of an exorcist clan, she originally had a happy life as a child until her father attempted to sacrifice her to a malevolent god in order to bring back his wife. While she managed to defeat the remnants of the god herself, the incident scarred her for life, believing herself to be a "cursed" child and began growing a homicidal tendency. She was taken under the wing of the Adeptus known as Cloud Retainer, who bound her soul with Red Ropes to contain her bloodlust, at the cost of Shenhe's emotions becoming suppressed.

Shenhe is tall, beautiful and curvaceous mature woman with a fair complexion, long silvery white hair, and pale, iridescent eyes with white pupils. Her hair is parted off-center with evenly cut locks that flow just past chin-length framing her face, one side covering her right eye, the rest styled in a low, loose, thick braid fastened at the top below her shoulders with a red cord tied in a bow with her Cryo Vision mounted on it.

Her outfit consists of a black backless bodysuit that fades into a dark turquoise at the legs and has intricate patterns all over it, including openings which expose her large hips. It extends to her hands, covering her middle fingers with a gold stud on each of the knuckles. At the back of her bodysuit is an article bearing resemblance to coattails, consisting of white fabric patterned with gray. She wears a cropped white-and-gray sleeveless qipao top over her bodysuit. Her accessories consist of a detailed white-and-black curved headpiece and a red cloverleaf knot with a tassel as an earring on her right ear. She wears high-heels as her footwear which expose her toes, and she has blue polish on both her nails and toenails.

Shenhe has lived in the mountains of Liyue as an Adeptus disciple for most her life, making her inexperienced with living among humans or interacting with them. She has an elegant and mysterious demeanor, while at the same time possessing an air of indifference due to the Red Ropes binding her soul, though she is noted to be fiercely protective of her close friends and to be easily provoked, often contemplating the most violent means to eliminate anyone who slights her, which leads her to greatly dislike crowds.

Shenhe is an extremely powerful combatant, far beyond a normal person in strength. She has a Cryo Vision and can use ice magic in combat, the most notable being to summon a Talisman Spirit resembling a faceless copy of herself made of frost to attack her foes. Her weapon of choice is a polearm which she uses in combination with her Cryo abilities.
