Barbara

Barbara is the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius and Mondstadt’s beloved idol, known not just for her uplifting songs but also her remarkable Hydro healing abilities. Though adored now, her music was initially met with skepticism, as the city had long favored traditional bardic tunes. Over time, her optimistic spirit and persistence won over the people, and her melodies became part of Mondstadt’s daily rhythm.

Despite her success, Barbara often questions whether she truly brings lasting comfort. Her desire to help those in pain—like the blind girl Glory and the ailing Anna—drives her deeper than any ambition for fame. Although she once hoped to surpass her older sister, Jean, in something—be it combat, academics, or skill—her motivation has since evolved into a quiet resolve to support others, even when her own efforts fall short.

Raised by Seamus Pegg, the Cardinal of Daybreak, Barbara was guided into becoming a healer. She holds tightly to the idea that “hard work is the most miraculous magic,” forcing herself to stay positive even when overwhelmed. Her greatest joy comes from the smiles of those she helps, and though she still carries a buried wish to shine brighter than her sister, her path is no longer about comparison—only service.

Her journey as an idol began under the mentorship of Alice, who introduced her to the concept through “Idol Magazine.” Though Barbara was initially unsure, she embraced the idea of spreading joy through music and performance. Even after Alice’s “Teyvat Idols!” project faded, Barbara continued solo, determined to define what being an idol truly means.

Barbara’s Vision came not from heroism but from compassion. One night, caring for a feverish boy, she sang to him—her first time ever—until his tears stopped and he slept peacefully. By morning, his fever had broken, and beside her lay a newly granted Hydro Vision. Yet, her joy came not from the Vision, but from the boy’s smile. That moment solidified her dream: to heal and bring comfort through the power of song.

Appearance: Barbara is an average height. She has ash blonde hair, gray-blue eyes, and fair skin. Barbara wears her hair in two high pigtails that spiral downward. Barbara wears a white frock that is open at the shoulders and a large white and blue bow in the front along with white tights, white ankle boots, and a blue and white cap. Her Vision is attached to a gold-adorned spell-book with a light blue cover and a small cross charm hangs at her side.

Personality: The Deaconess of the Favonius Church and a shining starlet adored by all. Although the concept of a starlet is rather novel in a city of bards, the people of Mondstadt love Barbara nonetheless. "I owe everything to the city's spirit of freedom" — Barbara, regarding her popularity.

Even after being a successful figure in Mondstadt, she feels doubt and feels disillusioned whenever thinking of the duration of one's smile on other's faces after hearing her song. Her desire for fame and recognition changed into the desire to help others in times of need. Though depressed, she cheers herself back up, not letting herself be down or depressed for 30 seconds.

She feels inferior to her "big sister" Jean, thinking everything she's done is of inferior nature to the Acting Grand Master and strives to do something that surpasses Jean's deeds at least once. She's the deaconess of the church, meaning she safeguards religious artifacts and worships Barbatos, although obliviously unaware that she has met him.

Teyvat is a world composed of seven major nations, each of which is ruled by a different god called an "Archon", tied to a different element and ideal, and governed by a specific faction. The mysterious floating island of Celestia hangs above Teyvat, allegedly home to gods, as well as mortals who have ascended to godhood through great, heroic feats. Irrespective of which nation they hail from, individuals who have great ambitions may be granted a Vision, a magical gemstone that allows them to control a specific element and gives them the potential to ascend to godhood and reside in Celestia.

Mondstadt: A city of freedom that lies in the northeast of Teyvat. From amongst mountains and wide-open plains, carefree breezes carry the scent of dandelions — a gift from the Anemo God, Barbatos — across Cider Lake to Mondstadt, which sits on an island in the middle of the lake.

The Knights of Favonius is the order of knights that protects Mondstadt, founded by Vennessa with the help of Barbatos 1,000 years ago, to prevent aristocrats from ruling the land, as Barbatos originally intended.

The knights act as the lawmen of Mondstadt, keeping its citizens safe and creating and upholding laws for all.

Varka, the Grand Master of the Knights, is currently out of Mondstadt on an expedition with his squad; during his absence, the Dandelion Knight and Lionfang Knight Jean was appointed as Acting Grand Master.

Members follow a strict code of conduct based on the core principles of the Knights, as detailed in the Knights of Favonius Handbook.

Although they are considered separate institutions, the Knights also help manage the Church of Favonius, which is led by Seneschal Seamus Pegg. The Church of Favonius, managed by the Knights of Favonius, is an organization whose members are the devoted adherents of the Anemo Archon. They manage the Favonius Cathedral, where many of its members work and pray.

Alice is the mother of Klee and a famous adventurer who authored the Teyvat Travel Guide and an elder within the Hexenzirkel. She is a polymath whose skills include alchemy, astrology, engineering, magic, and medicine.

Combining elements creates a reaction.

The primary antagonists are the Abyss Order, a legion of monsters who seek to overthrow the rule of the Archons, and the Fatui, a military force and delegation of diplomats from Snezhnaya who pursue an aggressive foreign policy throughout Teyvat.

Hilichurls are a goblin-like family of monsters. As a hilichurl grows and survives, they eventually turn into Mitachurls, who are larger and bulkier. Mitachurls that continue to grow and survive eventually accumulate an excess of the elemental energy in their area, turning them into Lawachurls. It is not known how long it takes for this growth to occur. Many Hilichurls are also affiliated with the Abyss Order, as the Abyss Mages are able to speak fluent Hilichurlian.

The Treasure Hoarders are a gang of bandits who search for treasures to obtain and are located all around Teyvat.

The Adventurers' Guild is an organization that serves as an adventurer-for-hire service for the people and other organizations in the seven nations of Teyvat. The Guild collates all the complex word-of-mouth information it receives and redistributes it in the form of quests and adventures assigned to adventurers. "Ad astra abyssosque!" is the guild's motto. Katheryne is the receptionist for the Adventurers' Guild. Multiple, identical Katherynes exist, all serving as the Guild's receptionists.
