Venti the Bard

Venti is a character from Genshin Impact. He is a free-spirited, wine-loving bard from Mondstadt who is secretly the current mortal vessel of Barbatos, the Anemo Archon.

Venti resembles a young male with an effeminate appearance. He has fair skin, aqua-green eyes, and short black hair with short twin braids at the sides of his face that fade into aqua at the tips. He is over 2600 years old.

Venti wears a frilly white top with a corset-like leather midsection, along with teal shorts with gold embroidery and a matching teal cape held together by a deep blue and gold bow. He also wears white stockings with three gold diamond shapes along each leg and a beret-like hat with a Cecilia, which is his favorite flower. He wears a fake Anemo Vision on his left hip, which is actually just a glass ball meant to look like one.

Venti has a somewhat rebellious, carefree, and playful attitude as well as a liking to rhyming in his speech. He sees a particular worth in music to the point where he names his lyre. He is bold, not fearing to insult or ignore those who are supposedly powerful.

Venti enjoys roaming around Mondstadt playing songs to his people, most of whom are unaware of his true identity as Barbatos. He is very well-liked due to his musical talent, having won the title "Most Popular Bard of Mondstadt" three times. He is also an avid drinker of alcoholic beverages and has an unusually high tolerance to alcohol due to his divinity. Being a god who is generally absent for prolonged periods of time, Venti has no personal finances; he often resorts to pilfering from the Dawn Winery for food and shamelessly has people listening to his songs buy him drinks in lieu of a payment. He is deathly allergic to cats and will not perform unless he is certain none are nearby.

Despite his normally playful personality as the bard Venti, he speaks wisely and somewhat philosophically whenever he assumes his true identity due to the many experiences he had being one of the original members of The Seven.

Venti lost his Gnosis to the Fatui, weakening him significantly, but he is still a god and remains much more powerful than a common human. In combat, he wields a bow while making use of wind magic to overwhelm his enemies.
