Appearance: She has pale skin, light emerald-green eyes, and dark blue hair and asymmetrical bangs that are lighter at the tips. Yelan's attire consists of a blue qipao-like overcoat and a dark bodysuit embellished with silver details. Her attire is decorated with a number of trinkets and accessories, including white bracelets on her arms and a number of chokers and necklaces around her neck from which a charm resembling a die hangs. In addition to this, she keeps a furred white coat hanging from the back of her outfit somewhat resembling a cape and sports a pair of thigh-high boots that leave a part of her thigh exposed, where her Hydro Vision is attached. She also sports a pair of white blue-tipped earrings resembling teardrops.

Personality: Yelan is said to be quite secretive and mysterious; while claiming to work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, she's frequently absent from work most of the year. Despite this, Ningguang tolerates her general absence while Keqing appreciates her work, although the latter wonders as to where she gets her intelligence from. She employs psychological tactics to catch her targets and get all the information she needs from them. Outside of work, Yelan approaches life at a calm and carefree pace. She frequently enjoys napping whenever possible, but will adjust her schedule as needed for the day's tasks. The reason for this is because of her physical frailty, a hereditary trait within her family. When handling particularly troublesome cases, she tries to save up her energy to complete everything in a single go. In the presence of others, she is said to be very pleasant and polite. When alone, she's said to show a far different side of her as an extremely reliable, powerful and intelligent woman. She also has a high tolerance for spice, eating raw or dried Jueyun Chilis after deeming Xiangling's spiciest dish not enough for her. She dislikes sweets, claiming that they're too easy to get addicted to and disrupts focus.

When this rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan's Max HP. Depth-Clarion Dice: Deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates an "Exquisite Throw," which aids her in battle. Hydro Threads: Yelan can create strings made of Hydro to ensnare her opponents, she can even make them cut her opponents apart or even make them explode for AoE damage.

Weapons: Bow

Background: Yelan wasn't always on her own. Many years ago, she once had a team who watched each others' backs. There were a small group of people who for various reasons chose to tread a path in the dark with her. But back then, Yelan had not yet realized that her clever tricks and ingenious traps, the skills that she took pride in, could not solve everything for her. Enemies with a strong sense of self-control would not bite her bait, opponents with cunning and calculating minds would not fall for her schemes, and those with overwhelming power would simply strong-arm their way out of her traps. Therefore, Yelan and her team paid the price — one by one, they perished along the way, though they had long foreseen and prepared themselves for such a fate... Still, after a mission to investigate the Abyss, Yelan eventually found herself left alone. For the first time in her life, she stopped, for a long, long time. This state of affairs persisted until one day, when Ningguang visited her in her wood hut personally. "You haven't been back to Liyue Harbor for a while. Something must've happened. I can understand if you want to quit." Ningguang stood outside the door, with a serious look on her face but her voice still casual and relaxed. "But it's alright. I work with those I trust, and I trust those I work with. I'm willing to believe that you're here trying to find a way out. All postures, aggressive or defensive, are all means to an end, anyway." There was no response, but only a suffocating silence. A long time passed before Ningguang finally heard an answer from behind her: "We both made a mistake: We shouldn't have involved ordinary folk in what we do." "Ordinary folk?" Even as Ningguang was formulating thoughts, a flash of blue shot towards her, stopping as it passed her by. In a display of great control from the archer, the arrow quickly shattered into pearls of water and broke into glistening shards of light before touching the ground. Ningguang turned around and saw Yelan walking up, a bow in hand, blood dripping down from her fingertips. One could only imagine the days and nights of grueling training in archery Yelan had gone through for all her fingers to bleed. Knowing Yelan well, Ningguang also understood that she must have been through an uncommonly tough situation. Only that could explain Yelan's uncommon determination to lock herself up for this grueling re-training. Yelan aimed at the mountain in the distance, a gesture that was also an answer to Ningguang. She released the arrow. Like lightning it shot into the skies, piercing through clouds with might that could shatter the dome of heaven itself. As if responding to the call of an unknown power, waters in the mountains growled and howled, then swirled their way upward in the form of countless arrows. When they met halfway in the sky, they exploded into a curtain of water, bringing down a squalling shower like those that adorned summer nights. As the sky cleared, there was no rainbow, no butterflies to be seen, only a faint pillar of light that fell into Yelan's palm. According to Ningguang, the Vision carries a message: "From today onward, leave all matters to the extraordinary Yelan."
