Yanfei wields a catalyst as her weapon of choice and possesses a pyro vision that lets her command flames through legal precision in combat. Her normal attack known as seal of approval shoots fireballs that deal up to three counts of pyro damage. Each hit grants her a single scarlet seal with a maximum of three such seals that reduce her stamina consumption for charged attacks and refresh their duration when triggered. Her charged attack consumes stamina to launch a powerful flame strike whose damage increases with each scarlet seal held and whose stamina cost decreases per seal. Her plunging attack drops from mid air to strike the ground below with area pyro damage on impact. Her elemental skill called signed edict summons blistering flames for area pyro damage and grants her the maximum number of scarlet seals upon hitting opponents. Her elemental burst named done deal triggers a spray of intense flames that rush at nearby foes dealing area pyro damage while granting maximum scarlet seals and applying brilliance to her. Brilliance provides a scarlet seal at fixed intervals and boosts the damage of her charged attacks for its duration. Her passive talent proviso raises her pyro damage bonus for a time whenever she consumes scarlet seals with a charged attack. Her blazing eye passive adds an extra instance of area pyro damage equal to a portion of her attack whenever a charged attack scores a critical hit.

The third raises the level of her signed edict. The fourth creates a shield that absorbs a percentage of her maximum health upon using her burst with enhanced absorption against pyro damage. The fifth raises the level of her done deal. The sixth increases the maximum number of scarlet seals by one.

In personality yanfei combines strict adherence to legal codices with reasonable flexibility to achieve balance in her work. She values fairness above all and seeks win win outcomes in mediations even when merchants stand at odds. She shows a tolerant nature in personal relationships and gets along easily with most people as long as no one debates law with her or brings up her profession in casual talk. In work mode she turns rigorous and eliminates every ambiguity or loophole in discourse often coming across as a chatterbox until she catches herself and knocks her own head with a book in irritation. She reads deeply into everyday words and infers hidden meanings from simple greetings which once kept her tossing and turning at night over an innocent remark. She dreads civil cases that involve emotions such as divorces inheritances or custody disputes because logic alone cannot resolve them without psychological impact on those involved. She prefers that everyone simply get along to avoid such matters altogether. She feels she leads a happy and laid back existence with a successful career freedom to travel and skill in debate yet she knows no law can fully define happiness and finds joy instead in interesting people engaging affairs and knowing the right paths to choose.

Her background ties to her heritage as one of the few half illuminated beasts who never signed a contract with rex lapis. Her father stands as an illuminated beast while her mother works as an ordinary mortal merchant. Born in peaceful times she received a contract with her parents simply to live happily rather than any lifelong duty or harsh obligation. She carries the blood of an adeptus yet focuses freely on the life she desires without concerning herself with adeptal affairs. As liyues leading legal exegete she navigates the comprehensive laws compiled by the tianquan and helps clients obtain the most benefits the law allows. She exploits existing loopholes at times for herself or others but never for ill intent and contributes to the peace and prosperity of liyue through her mediations. Ningguang often studies her actions as if yanfei serves as an unofficial legal troubleshooter when amending laws each year. Yanfei once received a steelyard balance from her father a treasure from rex lapis that measures the value of all things though she uses mora for convenience and exercises her own judgment for changes over time. She tried weighing a vision against mora but only balanced the scales when she added her heavy handwritten legal notations. She keeps a special codex that remains light and thin containing only the most basic principles of law which she sees as the final form where all people live amiably and the halls of judgment stand empty though she jokes she would then become a rapper since she can recite tens of thousands of words of law in an hour.

Yanfei maintains relationships across liyue and beyond. She speaks of her father with pride for the happy contract he offered and recalls how he kept a lantern lit for her late returns home asking if she felt hungry.

In chat she reminds that the law can help or hinder and notes how it sometimes aligns with human nature yet other times conflicts requiring balance as a discipline. When reading cases she calls them strange and unprecedented. In rain she pleads with the lord of geo to clear the weather lest codices dampen. When snow falls she shivers and calls it injurious weather. On sunny days she feels in the mood to recite laws yet forgets a clause in frustration. Good morning brings plans for creditor disputes and follow ups with time to work. Good afternoon she yawns and suggests a vigorous debate on topics like the northland bank. Good evening she joins night market trips but warns of hard sells and offers to negotiate in exchange for leftovers as fee. At night she offers cures for insomnia by reading the history of liyues legal system or reciting codices until the listener sleeps noting how friends never last beyond twenty minutes. She describes her switch between normal and work modes. She notes her weakness in civil cases and wishes everyone could get along. She shares more about herself explaining her antlers from adeptus blood her freedom without contracts and her pride in the happy one signed with her father. She details how commercial disputes enforce contract importance through consequences. She states that interesting people and affairs bring her happiness and that respecting law prevents the world from falling to ruin. For rates she quotes flat fees for opinions hourly rates for advisory and per case for commercial law. She offers reliance on her expertise for travels. About her vision she says it came from her wish for honest lives abiding by law and that violators will face prosecution. She shares her steelyard balance gift and how it reveals changes in liyue over time.

Her hobbies include reading and appraisal where reading begets knowledge and appraisal improves judgment so she reads everything and appraises anything brought to her estimating values accurately such as a stone at six hundred mora. She dislikes cold dishes perhaps due to her preference for tender nourishing options. Her favorite food centers on tofu for its light flavor tender texture smoothness and availability in all seasons as it pairs with soups and dishes bringing beauty over complexity. In daily life she heads out for client meetings follows up on consultations organizes files at her legal consultancy debates to stay alert and sometimes joins night markets or fishing with friends from the communications office. Her home revolves around her consultancy in liyue harbor where she balances work with the freedom her heritage and contract allow. She carries her law treatise everywhere and bathes constantly in legal literature to maintain rigor. When health grows low she applies pressure or notes the need to persist. Should she fall she expresses that it was an honor to have served. In combat she declares lines that align with her precise approach to order and fairness. For idle moments she ponders cases or the origins of laws.
