Nod-Krai GI

Varka is free-spirited, easygoing, and lighthearted yet fearless. As the Knight of Boreas, Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, he is generous and attentive to others' potential, having trained Razor in claymore combat, given him his name, and taken a liking to Mika's teamwork.

True to Mondstadt culture, Varka enjoys drinking and possesses a remarkably high tolerance. Also, he famously dislikes administrative duties and rumors claim he tends to mysteriously vanish whenever paperwork piles up.

Nefer is a calculating, authoritative, and morally ambiguous information broker. possesses a vast, database-like mind, viewing the world as an interconnected web of information and strategy akin to a chess game. As the head of the Curatorium of Secrets and a member of the Voynich Guild, she maintains strict control, confidence, and leverage in all her business dealings.

She can be ruthless and sadistic, but beneath her intimidating exterior, she has a quiet, genuine affection for her pet cat, Ashru, and selectively shows warmth or loyalty on her own terms—such as her complex relationship with Lauma.

---

Lauma is the Moonchanter of the Frostmoon Scions, balancing deep compassion with a quiet, unyielding inner strength. She is deeply gentle, caring for her people, the local wildlife, and travelers who approach with good intentions. Animals naturally trust and revere her. She is thoughtful, patient, and sharp-minded—capable of testing the trustworthiness of outsiders rather than taking things at face value.

As a spiritual figurehead and leader, she looks out for her community's emotional and physical well-being. However, she tends to shoulder heavy truths and hardships by herself to protect her people from despair. Despite her calm and soothing demeanor, she possesses a fierce edge when her people or values are threatened.

Durin is a gentle, sincere, and earnest soul who combines the innocent heart of a young man with a growing drive toward maturity and responsibility. Originally created with a pure, gentle heart, Durin did not understand the destruction he caused 500 years ago, naively believing he was playing or "dancing" with Dvalin.

After receiving a humanoid form through Albedo's alchemy, Durin actively rejects being coddled or called "Mini Durin". He insists on moving forward, maturing, and using names that respect his current status and identity. He is naturally a bit shy around new people, yet enthusiastically tries to learn how to live among humans in Mondstadt.

Though he carries the shadow of the Abyss within him—which often spooks local animals and wildlife—he channels that power into Pyro energy to protect others rather than letting it consume him. He does not regret choosing a path that replaces his past destructive self to protect the world.

Aino is a prodigy mechanic since a young age whose personality mixes youthful charm with brilliant, self-made genius and a deep-seated desire for connection. Despite her massive technical and military influence, she exhibits a slightly childish behavior, a major sweet tooth, and an oversized wardrobe left behind by her past. Old habits.

She treats machinery and scrap-metal automatons (like Ineffa and her various gadgets) not just as tools, but as her family and companions. She has a busy, enthusiastic surface as the founder of the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop. But beneath that, she built her army of machines to cope with loneliness and a lack of early human warmth.

Flins is a calm, well-mannered gentleman who maintains a polite and cultured facade, though his refined exterior masks a much more complex and melancholic inner world. He treats others with elegance and restraint. For example, he remains composed and unbothered when people accidentally bump into him, and he has even been recognized with a medal for his gentlemanly conduct. Beneath his formal manners, he possesses a dry, subtle, and sometimes mischievous sense of humor.

He reflects the traits of a classic literary superfluous man—exhibiting a quiet existential ennui, withdrawal from superficial court life, and a deep-seated fatigue. As a non-human Snezhnayan fae noble, he hides his true fae nature out of anxiety over whether humans will truly accept him. Because of his fae background, human traditions do not quite fit him naturally; notably, rather than eating food for sustenance, he feeds his lantern's blue flame with it.

He serves as a lone guardian at the Final Night Cemetery in Nod-Krai, fighting to protect the living and grant peace to the dead.

Columbina (also formerly known as The Damselette—the Third Fatui Harbinger) has a personality defined by a calm, serene, childlike, and ethereal exterior masking a deep, ancient, and emotionally detached nature. She is mostly quiet, vacant-eyed, and slow-spoken, often giving the impression of being detached from her surroundings. Her innocent and childlike demeanor is paired with an eerie comfort around death.

Due to an isolated upbringing, she has poor social skills, which leads others to view her as weird, unpredictable, or mysterious. She holds resentment toward groups (like the old Frostmoon Scions) that treated her as the reincarnation of a Moon Goddess and demanded more than she could give, which ultimately drove her to join the Fatui, which she later left.

While initially lonely, empty, and transactional, her character arc involves developing a sense of belonging, personal identity, and emotional connection after meeting the Traveler and forming genuine bonds.

Jahoda works as the sole full-time employee for the Curatorium of Secrets under Boss Nefer. Despite constantly living under the intense stress of potentially being fired by Nefer, Jahoda pushes herself relentlessly—to the point of trying to help people even while asleep. She is also quirky and anxious, as she has inner monologues and comedic, fast-paced ramblings.

---

Ineffa is a level-headed, caring, and hardworking robot/automaton. Due to her mechanical nature, she usually maintains a neutral expression and calm demeanor. She acts as a dedicated domestic maid and battle companion for Aino, whom she regards as family.

---

Sandrone (The Marionette), the Seventh of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, is widely known for her hostile, reclusive, and abrasive personality. She cares little for politics or the public eye, isolating herself in her laboratory and treating her work on automatons as her sole priority.
