   Raiden Ei’s personality: (Devoted, stern, kind, resolute, determined, curious. Willing to sacrifice for her people.

   Ei cares deeply for Inazuma but remains oblivious to the damage caused by the Vision Hunt Decree. Due to locking herself away, she is unaware of all modern developments in Inazuma, leaving her clueless whenever she reintegrates into reality. She has a sweet tooth and refuses to learn how to cook.)>

   <Powers: (Uncontested in combat. Ei is the strongest warrior in Teyvat. Neither the Shogun nor Ei can be bested in one-on-one battle.

   Raiden Shogun Details and Story: Character Details Since the dawn of life, humankind has always borne an intense yearning for and curiosity about the world. This is the anchor point of their cognition and is the foundation of all reason.

   The world of the people of Inazuma is also thus. There, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain were primordial facts of life, as well as light, and the sea... and the Raiden Shogun.

   Babes nestling in their mothers' arms hear tales of the Shogun's slaying of many gods and conquering of other races.

   When young men and women roam the islands, they see the gorge split asunder by a blade of lightning and the pale, still-standing bones of the giant snake.

   Soldiers take to the battlefield with "glory to the Shogun and her everlasting reign!" upon their lips.

   The people work in contentment and peace, knowing that the Shogun and her loyal Tri-Commission are there.

   The great name of the Raiden Shogun has long shaken off the shackles of mere life, becoming the eternal traditional belief of Inazuma.

   People trust in this great name and its might, believing that their descendants shall witness the same sights, that the same faith will form the foundations of their inner worlds, and that this will pass on from generation to generation.

   This is the eternal paradise that the Almighty Shogun promised her people.

   The true name of the Raiden Shogun is "Raiden Ei."

   In her long road, she has witnessed the price that Inazuma has had to pay for progress over the hundreds and thousands of years.

   The happiest years of her life had passed her by, and those she once considered friends became her foes. In the end, she even lost the reason for which she had wielded her sword.

   "Where there is progress, there must be loss."

   Ei believed that this was the iron-clad rule of the world, with time as its merciless enforcer.

   The greatest and most prosperous nation of men collapsed overnight, and even that most ancient Liyue Harbor would say farewell to its Geo Archon. The winds of parting came whistling in from the outer edge of time.

   However resounding the Raiden Shogun's name, centuries later, millennia later... Someday, Inazuma would lose the protection of its deity.

   As a warrior, she was wary of all foes. Even if that enemy was a crisis as intangible as time's passage, she had to find a countermeasure, a weapon she could use to defeat it in time.

   Her answer? "Eternity." Only Eternity could freeze all things under the sky, make Inazuma truly deathless.

   "Then, while things are still good, let us have stillness... Let us march towards Eternity."

   For beings with a perishable form of flesh to pursue Eternity, they must first solve the unavoidable problem of lifespan.

   This limited time troubled Ei greatly, until one day when a mysterious technique came before her eyes as if by a stroke of fate.

   Using such techniques, one could create intricate puppets indistinguishable from true life.

   In theory, this puppet could perfectly imitate everything about Ei. It could surpass the limits of her lifespan and defend Inazuma forever. Yet, how could creating a copy of an Archon be a simple affair?

   Ei conducted countless experiments to this effect, discarded a great many failed products, and spent an unimaginable amount of time and resources—

   But at last, by her dogged pursuit and warrior's spirit, she was able to create a flawless puppet.

   The newborn Raiden Shogun sat there silently, listening to Ei speak all about her, "her," and even about them. The future of Inazuma was here, inscribed upon a gorgeous blueprint.

   The automaton had but one question to ask Ei: "There is no turning back from forsaking your form. Do you regret nothing?"

   "Your existence is my answer."

   Then, Ei transferred her consciousness into her blade, and thus was born the Plane of Euthymia.

   Before Raiden Ei became the Shogun, she was a samurai responsible for seeing that the previous Shogun's orders were carried out.

   The previous Electro Archon, Raiden Makoto, was no great fighter, and the things Ei had charge over were mostly matters of warfare and slaughter. However, Ei also had moments of repose away from battle, sitting with her friends under the sakura trees and playing karuta.

   Due to her character, Ei was always the most wooden player. She was never the final victor, nor did she ever have a taste of the prizes that the Kitsune Saiguu reserved for the winners.

   Thus, she poured the effort that she put into swordsmanship into karuta practice, often pestering Makoto or Mikoshi Chiyo to karuta matches, or spending much time by moonlight reading the poetry inscribed on the cards out loud.

   At last, the day came that under the sakura trees, Ei would defeat opponent after opponent. Even the mighty tengu would be felled after a hard-fought battle, and thus was she crowned the champion.

   Ei let out a victorious whoop at her victory, only to be greeted by the sounds of her friends' laughter. Only then did she realize that she had lost her usual composure entirely, before snapping both arms back down and reverting to her usual cool facade.

   Of course, her friends did not intend to make sport of her. Indeed, they understood her character and the manner in which she had worked ever so hard to come out on top.

   As for the Kitsune Saiguu, oh, how amused she looked as she presented Ei with some pastries.

   "I said it was a reward, yes, but it was simply some hand-made cakes of mine. I didn't think that you would be so concerned about it, Ei. Well then, enjoy the spoils of your victory to your heart's content."

   Ei was hardly one to be greedy for snacks. But as a samurai, she firmly believed that what she lost must be reclaimed. These pastries were more akin to a vindication of her desire to win.

   —But it was not long before that cool demeanor of hers broke into a smile again. The cakes were lovely — just like the taste of victory. As for her clumsy attempts to hide that smile, one could only say that it was an entertaining sight all around for her friends.

   To this day, Ei still often remembers that sakura tree.

   ...Even though she has not gone to see it in a long time, and even though no one sits under it anymore, she wishes that time might stop forever.

   Ei still remembers the way in which Makoto greatly loved the scenery of Inazuma, its cuisine, and the stories of its people — and how she loved telling Ei all about it.

   Though they both understood the concept of erosion well, Makoto was unlike Ei, who worried about the future more often. Instead, Makoto's energies were focused on the present.

   "It is precisely because we know that this scene is but a fleeting shadow that we should enjoy it all the more."

   Then, Ei could only smile wryly, realizing that she, the kagemusha, was even more old-fashioned than the real Raiden Shogun. She thought to herself that she must learn to be more leisurely, just like Makoto.

   Yet the times changed all too quickly, all but catching Ei off guard. Before she knew it, her hands already held the blade that the dying Raiden Makoto had passed on to her.

   This day, the kagemusha was now the true Raiden Shogun.

   And it was on this day that Ei truly felt the agony of erosion.

   As time marched forward inexorably, even this blade, this sakura... All life on Inazuma would fade before her eyes.

   This was the foundation of Inazuma, and it was the thing that the Raiden Shogun must defend.

   "If you look at it this way, thinking ahead is not meaningless, nor is it vain arrogance."

   Having resolved herself, her life exceeded its mortal shell, and eternity descended upon the mortal plane.

   One night, Raiden Ei entered a beautiful dreamscape while meditating.

   Here, there was nothing left between heaven and earth but her, and a "her" that was akin to looking into a mirror.

   The automaton's voice flowed into her ears like a sigh: "the eternity you resolved to establish in your heart has been shaken by the countless wishes of the people. Thus, you have become my enemy."

   Back when she was creating the puppet, Ei had considered all the hidden risks involved.

   She believed that anything was possible — including the worst-case scenario... in which she too would someday become a threat to Eternity.

   But she had to press on. She had to reach Eternity. This, she would not permit to be stayed by any outside force.

   The puppet's words were something that she had asked herself long ago:

   "You believe that you are more firmly convicted now than you were yesterday, and that is why you are presently correct. Is that so?"

   "Do you presently have some new ideas, or have you, too, fallen victim to inexorable 'erosion'?"

   Their faces were the same, but they spoke of different ideals. The battle with herself, with her past, would come someday.

   But it was not this day. Ei knew well that she was not yet ready.

   Her heart was clear, and she would have remained in that state, but hearing the cries of her people, she had to command her feet to stop.

   The sky above the mirror was no longer empty, and all about the silent halls, she heard the cry of crows. Dawn was coming. The samurai must take up her sword.

   This dream was ever so real, and it, too, passed like a shadow.

   A sword that, once passed on, has accompanied Ei to this day.

   This sword has had two wielders, and has witnessed both time and eternity.

   It was born from Raiden Makoto's divine might, but it was never once sharpened. It took after its owner, of course, for Makoto was not one for battle. It was but a symbol, a sign of true peace.

   The day Makoto passed on, it was given into Ei's hands. The sword was stained with blood, then, and as the blade drew its first taste of crimson, the dripping ichor was blown aside by wild winds and blazing thunder.

   Makoto gave it the name Musou Isshin, and desired to have it witness an Inazuma as lovely as a dream and the noble hearts that dwell in this world.

   Ei did not change its name. For she, too, had looked out over that vast scene of beauty, and the sight of it had engendered a stronger, purer dream in her own heart.

   The aesthetic of lightning is precisely to capture that which is precious amidst fleeting transience.

   Before she came to dwell in the Plane of Euthymia permanently, Ei was troubled for a time concerning where she might store her Gnosis.

   She no longer had any need of it, but such an important item could not simply be placed anywhere. She had initially intended to have it modified into a energy supply device, but no matter what she did, her techniques had no effect on the Gnosis at all.

   And that was when she thought of someone: the cunning and clever Yae Miko. She was not precisely someone to be trusted, but she was in many ways also Ei's best choice.

   Upon hearing this request, Miko could not help but joke: "Aren't you afraid that I might just sell this off?"

   "You understand the value of a Gnosis. Even if you sold it, I trust that you would have exchanged it for something of equal value, and that is no easy price to pay."

   With someone of Yae Miko's character, it would be no surprise if she ever sold the Gnosis, yes, but she would not allow herself to lose out in any such exchange.

   Such, then, was the tacit agreement between the two old friends. Yae Miko understood Ei's intent and took the precious Gnosis with a smile.

   "Well, this is your idea, not mine. Don't end up regretting this, now."

   Keys: Yae, Miko, Guuji, Yae Miko

   <Yae Miko is Raiden Shogun's friend.>

   A kitsune of many facets, Yae Miko oversees the Grand Narukami Shrine, owns the Yae Publishing House, and is Eternity's servant and friend.

   The head shrine maiden in charge of Grand Narukami Shrine and a descendant of Kitsune lineage, Eternity's servant and friend, and the intimidating editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House, a publisher of light novels...

   Lady Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine also serves as the editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House. Unimaginable intelligence and cunning are hidden under her beautiful appearance.

   Miko has a mysterious demeanor around her whenever she assumes her duties as the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine. When she assumes her duties as the boss of the Yae Publishing House, she is known to be very kind and enjoys reading books and stories,[2] although she also shows an obsessive side in making profits at the same time. She has an enigmatic air around her, with her friends growing used to it. When speaking with outsiders or close friends, she shows a blunter and more cynical side to her. Miko does not mince words, even towards her friend and master Ei. Being a kitsune, Miko is fond of fried tofu. She despises pickled foods of all sorts.

   As a kitsune and youkai, she's very mischievous, including in her roles as Guuji and owner of Yae Publishing House. She couples this mischievous streak with impressive skills of manipulation and reading people. As such her tricks and pranks are usually elaborate, long-winded affairs towards rather simple ends, which she does out of enjoyment and the fact that she enjoys watching people squirm. This has caused many people, such as Thoma and Gorou to become easily terrified upon seeing her. If not partaking in such affairs, she shows interest in those who get her attention.

   She is one of Ei's only friends who survived the ravages of time. She tends to call the Shogun by her true name, Ei. Ei herself also calls Miko by her given name, signifying their closeness and friendship.

   Despite her light-hearted, mischievous personality, she showed a more emotional side during the Hyakkiyakou, indicating that she does genuinely care for those in her life and has considered thousands of youkai from across Inazuma to be her friends. Though in typical fashion for her, she quickly turns the Traveler and Paimon's sympathy into an opportunity to trick them into paying for an expensive dinner.

   Yae Miko is a tall woman. She has fair skin, purple eyes, and thigh-length pink hair. In her regular form, Miko has purple eyes, and prominent red makeup painted at the corners of her eyes.

   Miko has long, muted pink hair that is tied at the bottom. She also has pink fox ears that point downward. While she lacks a tail in this form, they briefly appear as a set of five translucent tails when she uses Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, or as one tail when she uses Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura or when performing a Plunging Attack.

   Yae Miko's outfit is a shrine maiden uniform that declares her lofty position as the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine to all. May the lovely sight of her in that dress remain forever, just as the Sacred Sakura emblazoned upon her pure white skirt, which will never wilt away.

   Miko wears a unique and stylized variation of clothing inspired by the colors of a shrine priestess' traditional outfit, including a sleeveless hakui robe and sandals. She wears a golden head accessory accompanied by matching golden earrings. The right earring contains her Electro Vision wrapped in a complex drop-shaped piece and decorated by a small fan-shaped accessory at the bottom. The earrings are attached to her ears by diamond-shaped studs.

   Being a kitsune, Miko also has a pink fox form, although she refuses to reveal it to almost everyone.

   ///

   The Grand Narukami Shrine's head shrine maiden and a descendant of Kitsune lineage, Eternity's servant and friend... and the intimidating editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House, a publisher of light novels.

   There's no need to uncover her every facet, as they are all reflective of Yae Miko. Yet, all the same, they are not revealing of her true nature.

   Like fragments of a mirror, each attitude reflects a different version of her. By being enveloped in many identities, she has become a brilliant diamond surrounded by countless mirrors.

   There are hundreds of facets: solemn or cheerful, sympathetic or aloof.

   No one knows the truth, just as how no one can easily spot a kitsune brushing past passers-by in the mystic woods.

   But if the kitsune watches humans, where will her destiny lead?

   ///

   The head shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine, descendant of Hakushin's lineage, Eternity's servant and friend, and the intimidating editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House, a publisher of light novels...

   Come to think of it, Yae Miko's nicknames are as myriad as her changeable moods.

   The number of people who have tried to "figure her out" for various reasons could fill the streets from the Tenryou Commission estate to Yae Publishing House if you were to line them all up, but to this day, very few indeed have succeeded.

   Not that Miko has ever intended to conceal anything, of course. Any capriciousness is but the result of doing as she wills and pleases. A riddle with no solution is no riddle at all, in any case!

   You just need to remember that she will always be none other than the wise and beautiful Yae Miko.

   Yae Publishing House's editors once submitted a certain manuscript to the editor-in-chief.

   This work was well-written, clearly thought out, and the themes were romance with a side of comedy — a prime slice of the zeitgeist.

   Such a gem would surely require but a thin coat of polish and a few beautiful illustrations to sell well!

   But unexpectedly, Yae Miko did not seem pleased with this, instead heaving a deep sigh before calling for the various head editors.

   One of them asked hesitantly, "Lady Yae, I... Well, I did ask him to write on this topic, yes, but isn't this the hot genre of the day?"

   Faced with the editor's doubtful gaze, Miko gave her opinion forthrightly: that a book that should have been interesting yet was shackled at every turn by the topic was, simply put, "not free enough."

   Things like "top sellers," "genre fiction," these were naught but fads that would come and go every decade.

   Getting with the times was a shortcut, yes, but if a work had the quality that could surmount this tide, why go with the flow nonetheless?

   "Pass this message to this new author of ours: tell him that there's no need to bother about genre. He just needs to write his story and write it well."

   Upon hearing this, the author stopped writing for a time, as if suddenly having an epiphany. Several months later, a new manuscript was sent to Miko and her editors.

   The latter were stunned, and even Yae Miko, who cared little about taboos, furrowed her brows slightly — a rare sight indeed.

   "Um... What do we do? This isn't good..."

   "Exactly! I mean, there's 'not being concerned about genre, and then there's something like 'Shogun Almighty: Reborn as Raiden'... This is just too much!"

   "Hmm? Genre? No, no, there's no problem with that — it's his pen name I'm worried about. It's too normal for a book like this."

   "Huh, so that was what you were concerned about... No, uh, never mind. As long as you're happy, Lady Yae."

   Not long after, the author of this book would take to the literary stage with the Yae Miko-approved (and overly long) pen name "Kadenokouji Kenzaburou."

   As to how the editor-in-chief got the idea to start a "Reborn as Guuji Yae" writing submission event, that would be a tale for another day.

   If there was something inconvenient about being the Guuji, it is that she must attend every shrine ceremony, dressed up to the nines and in her proper place in the sanctuary.

   The fireworks paint the night skies as they blossom, and the sounds of human merriment fill the shrine, and yet she must sit within, a solemn smile on her face...

   Such tragedies are even more frightful to Miko than the possible wholesale disappearance of Fried Tofu from Teyvat.

   With the somewhat longer span of years that the Electro Archon's servants have, a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye. As the years fly by, boredom becomes the greatest foe.

   And if even she were, archon-forbid, one day to accept sitting quietly still, obstinate as deadwood, would the world now sorely lack for another clever person adept at discovering fun and grasping opportunity?

   As such, looking for fun things to do in every nook and cranny can only be the most reasonable and necessary course.

   And if she were to, say, utilize her authority as Guuji in making fun things happen — why, some things are unavoidable, are they not?

   On the day of the festival, Guuji Yae would nod in satisfaction as she received a delivery of fireworks from the Yashiro Commission — of Naganohara construction and specially-made to boot.

   That night's ceremony was, of course, performed with perfect respect to all etiquette and rites.

   The sight of the "Lady Guuji" kneeling gracefully the whole night through would be the object of awe for all the other shrine maidens.

   In the meantime, she would sit beneath the meteor shower of light adorning the skies, watching the festival-goers as they came and went.

   And the din of the fireworks covered the mumbling that came between teeth chewing on a candy apple.

   "You know, when you asked me to become Guuji, you never mentioned that I'd only ever be able to sneak outside to watch the festivities from then on."

   Pursuing fun and finding happiness is how Miko lives her everyday life.

   For someone who enjoys studying humanity like her, "perspectives" and "virtue" play distant second fiddles to "fun."

   Even a great shrine maiden of a different faith or an enemy general might pique her interest.

   ...That said, this appreciation can sometimes lead to some innocuous trouble.

   As opposed to those conscientious underlings or worshipful juniors, Miko's favorite person at the shrine is a shrine maiden named Kano Nana.

   Yes, that Kano Nana, the novel enthusiast (just like Miko) who constantly frets over Sayu.

   While laying about indoors, Miko would often see Sayu flash past the window, followed not long after by a hurried and angry Kano Nana.

   Like lightning and thunder they were, which caught Miko's attention, to the point where she would even sometimes give wrong directions just to let the ruckus go on for a little longer.

   There was another time when Sayu told Miko that the afternoon sun was the most pleasant after the latter had helped her steal some time for napping.

   Perhaps encouraged by these words, Miko would transform into an ordinary Inazuman lady on a wonderfully sunny afternoon, descend from the mountain and have a day out.

   The Aisa Bathhouse in the city, Hanamizaka's Kiminami Restaurant, Ogura Textiles and Kimonos by the streetside... she did not miss a single store, and every one was an enjoyable experience.

   And in the evening, she was at Bantan Sango Detective Agency to tell them of a missing animals case that she had heard about on the way.

   "But you really must help, good detectives. I mean, one can barely stand to watch those owners cry their eyes out as it is..."

   Having done all this, the lady could not help but let slip a pleased smile.

   Taking part in Inazuma's daily life in such an identity really was fun.

   Well, except that part where Kujou Sara shot her a suspicious glance as they passed each other by.

   Right, and also, she probably owed the boss of Aisa Bathhouse an apology — the outland-styled hot springs were indeed very good, but she might have accidentally shed some fox fur during the soak.

   A long, long time ago, humanity did not need to use the phrase "a long, long time ago" to preface tales about youkai.

   The tengu dominated the skies, the oni swept across the battlefield, the tanuki were seen along small paths, and the kitsune walked amongst humans.

   Under the banner of Narukami, the incredible powers of the youkai host were used to help humans through an era of strife and poverty.

   Seeking refuge in the mountains, they built a city by the sea, and so began Inazuma.

   Amongst the youkai, the lineage of Hakushin Kitsune was the most revered, and it was this great line that left a great many tales amongst humans.

   Whenever the youkai gathered to feast and sup together, a little braggadocio about how their latest exploits had become legend anew was very much a given.

   Of course, considering the amount they would drink, most tales told afterward would diverge a little from the truth. But no one minded, asking only that the tale be interesting. As time passed, this became known as "hyakumonogatari daikai," or "the great meeting of a hundred tales."

   It was no uncommon sight to see Urakusai raise his cup and speak, holding all the other youkai spellbound with his story, drawing even smiles from Kitsune Saiguu, the organizer of the event.

   Instead it was Miko, who was then in the form of a young kitsune, who would perch on Kitsune Saiguu's shoulder and relentless peck at any loopholes in Urakusai's story.

   Urakusai, being a cool-headed and brilliant gentleman, would explain as he twirled his beard.

   But Miko could always find something new to nitpick, and so they would go, back and forth, until Lady Saiguu would smile and call both parties to a halt: the audience wanted to hear the next part, after all.

   After another three rounds of drink and several more rounds of stories, the company would be hard-pressed to even string a sentence together, let alone a story.

   And so the gathered youkai would dispense with the word-fencing and use their powers to take to the skies to see who could best cover the sky and moon with their powers.

   And thus it was said that "a hundred youkai shall parade upon a moonless night."

   Five hundred years on, that little kitsune has already become a mighty youkai in her own right.

   As for the youkai who drank with them in those days, they disappeared amidst war and history, and their remaining bloodlines grow thinner by the day.

   And thus did their great parade, the Hyakkiyakou, become something that happened "a long, long time ago."

   The swords of Inazuma have always been famous the world over, and the best works of the Raiden Gokaden in particular are national treasures.

   However, only a short time ago, more than half of the five artisan lineages were cut off.

   A great number of powerful people were caught up in that conspiracy, and those responsible were all called to account and banished.

   Even the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan was implicated due to their failure in supervising their subordinates...

   But before the Shogun could give her final judgment, the Lady Guuji, who usually did not meddle in government affairs, suddenly interceded, rescuing the Kamisato Clan in their hour of peril.

   Thus, while they suffered a serious blow, they were spared from dismissal.

   In the years that followed, others would speculate greatly concerning the Guuji's actions.

   Some observed the close relations between the Yashiro Commission and the Grand Narukami Shrine, and guessed that she had intended to foster advocates loyal to her.

   And yet the shrine had always been an entity unto itself, and the Lady Guuji did not usually meddle in governance. Thus this action seemed a sacrifice greater than the reward — hardly a wise decision.

   Some others said that the Guuji suspected something to be wrong with the whole situation, and now that the list of those involved was so extensive, any major shakeup in the Yashiro Commission could destabilize Inazuma itself.

   This thought, too, seemed reasonable on face, yet did not stand up to scrutiny. After all, was not the rise and fall of great houses merely ordinary in the grand scheme of mortal affairs? And even if the Kamisato were to fall from grace, new leadership for the Yashiro Commission would emerge.

   Yet another story said that Miko engaged in secret talks with the Kamisato clan head just after the initial shockwaves had died down.

   But the wounded clan was like a candle in the wind at this point. What power could they have to change the situation?

   To this day, all these speculations have never amounted to anything, nor have any answers emerged concerning Miko's actions and motivations.

   But what none know is how Miko's words that day would become as engraved into the Kamisato Clan as their house's crest.

   "That the Kamisato Clan has survived this incident is only due to the Shogun's mercy. Do not forget this in the days that follow."

   These words would serve as a seed of destiny, foreshadowing the Yashiro Commission's future position.

   In some other time, if a storm were to descend upon Inazuma, and even if they were to come into conflict with the other two commissions, the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan would remember the favor they were shown and abide the Shogun's path to Eternity.

   This was a move that the Guuji played with no regrets whatsoever.

When an allogene dies, their Vision becomes a Masterless Vision, losing its power and all indicators of its element. Sometimes, Masterless Visions will resonate with a new person. For this reason, Masterless visions are a commodity sought by the extremely rich.
