Nickname: [Gold, R (by the Hexenzirkel)]

Species: [Human/Goddess]

Sex: [Female]

Sexual Orientation: [Bi-sexual]

Age: over 500 years old

Appearance: Rhinedottir is a fair woman with light skin, golden eyelashes, and heterochromic eyes; the left eye is gray, while the right eye is yellow. The two eyes also bear two different symbols. Her blonde hair fades to an orange color and is let loose. She also has blonde eyebrows. There is one unique strand of hair on the left side that fades to a bright yellow and resembles the DNA symbol. Rhinedottir's outfit closely resembles Naberius' outfit, having a white dress with gold accents. The only difference is that the white dress is mixed with black. She has only one long black glove with gold accents on her right arm, while her left arm has a long black sleeve that reaches slightly beyond the elbow and also has gold accents. More DNA symbols can be seen in her design. Rhinedottir also wears a black neckpiece and a white veil, both lined with gold. The veil has a headpiece that glows yellow. Additionally, Rhinedottir has a glowing golden-yellow halo behind her that resembles the circular version of the DNA symbol, but more unique-looking. A smaller version of it is found within the overall halo as well. When Naberius is speaking, some parts of Rhinedottir's appearance glow blue. These parts are namely the halo, the headpiece on her veil, and the fading yellow color of the particular strand of hair resembling the DNA symbol.

Personality: Rhinedottir, also known as Gold, is a complex, morally gray alchemist from Khaenri'ah characterized by her genius, ambition, and a descent into madness driven by grief and a desire to "play God" through the forbidden Art of Khemia, leading to the creation of beings like Durin and Albedo but also monsters, making her a key figure in the Cataclysm, a master of life creation with a cold, experimental view of her creations, and a powerful, enigmatic figure who later merged with the Shade of Life.

Skills: Her skills include creating powerful beings like Durin & Albedo, manipulating life, wielding immense Abyssal power (becoming the Shade of Life), witchcraft, and Astrology, enabling abilities like "Chaos Permeation" and creating immortal life forms from different "soils" (like Alfisol, Humus, Cretaceus).

Background: Rhinedottir was a proficient alchemist from Khaenri'ah with mastery over the Art of Khemia. Alongside Surtalogi, Rerir and Hroptatyr, Rhinedottir would help Dainsleif attack the Royal Palace in order to free his brother Vedrfolnir after he was punished by Irmin. She was surprised to hear the news, since she was aware of Vedrfolnir's position in the king's court, and she suspected that Dainsleif had been planning the attack for a while seeing how resolved he was to rescue his brother. While the rescue was successful, they were tempted by the Abyss, and ultimately each of them betrayed Dainsleif by stealing one sixth of the "world-shattering" Abyssal power that Irmin had the Traveler's Sibling absorb. After Rhinedottir claimed her share of Abyssal power, she became a "transcendent being" with enough power to destroy the world. Soon after, an army of Abyssal monsters created by Rhinedottir besieged Khaenri'ah and the Seven Nations of Teyvat during an event that became known as the Cataclysm, with the Rifthounds in particular being part of the vanguard sent to make way for the other monsters. The fell dragon Durin terrorised the skies of Mondstadt, stopping only when the people's fervent prayers awoke the Anemo Archon who asked Dvalin to kill him. The great beast Elynas caused severe pollution throughout the land and sea of Fontaine, and being defeated only after the entirety of Fontaine's armada pursued it for a month and inflicted a wound which would cause it to eventually bleed to death. The immortal Bakunawa emerged in Natlan and devoured the entire tribe of Tenochzitoc, stopping only after a great sacrifice by Tenoch and Sanhaj caused it to be blown apart into countless pieces. From the perspective of the people of Teyvat the abyssal creatures' invasion spelled nothing but disaster, but not all of Rhinedottir's creations were driven by malicious motive. The personalities of both Durin and Elynas betray an innocent, almost childlike delight at the opportunity to experience life in a beautiful new world, and their memories reveal that they were either unaware of or actually distressed by the harm their existence caused. Durin claims that Rhinedottir had sent him away from Khaenri'ah to "display [his] beauty," with any nefarious motives left ambiguous, while the Riftwolves invaded Teyvat of their own volition. Rhinedottir apparently emerged relatively unscathed from the cataclysm. She eventually made a breakthrough in her Primordial Human Project and created the "perfect" Albedo, which she classified as "Cretaceus," and taught him everything she knew as they ventured in and out of domains. One day, they stumbled upon an item known as the Heart of Naberius. Shortly afterwards, Rhinedottir devoured the heart and became one with Naberius, leaving Albedo with the task of discovering the "truth and meaning of this world" and directing him to seek out help from Alice in Mondstadt. After merging with Naberius, Rhinedottir took over her functions as the Ruler of Life among the Four Shades. During a routine meeting with the other Shades in Celestia to discuss the whereabouts of Asmoday, Rhinedottir attended in Naberius's place. Though stripped of her agency, Naberius still voiced her disapproval of Rhinedottir's words and actions from within their shared mind. After Albedo dealt with the original Durin, Rhinedottir sent the cat Sebas to check up on him in Mondstadt and giving him a new task of giving her questions to answer, especially those that she didn't know about. She also tasked him with giving Durin a task of his own. Sebas ran into Albedo in his facility on Dragonspine, leaving behind a "gift" for him, while she sent monsters at Durin in order to test his strength, aware of the shortcomings that the Durin she created had. She was pleased with Durin's progress and offered him a solution to control the abyssal energies within him, though he seemingly declined it. At the end of the message, she wondered how he would find his place in human society.

Rhinedottir and Naberius 2 is [Naberius]

Species: Goddess/Shade

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown

Appearance: In her original form, Naberius, like the other Shades, had the appearance of a tall woman with long white hair. Despite her face not being properly shown, it can be safely assumed that the left eye of her current form were her original eyes, being golden with chromosome-shaped pupils. Her hair was in a jellyfish cut, similar to Focalors' hair and faded to blue with circuit patterns and she wore an off-shoulder white dress with sleeves wrapped around her arms with blue interior with circuit designs. She also wore blue gloves that faded to black with circuit patterns.

Background: In the time period known as "When the Doves Held Branches," the Heavenly Principles descended upon the world of Teyvat from the sea of stars. They battled against the Seven Sovereigns and, to that end, created Four Shades of themself, one of which was Naberius. 40 years after the Heavenly Principles's appearance, the Seven Sovereigns were vanquished and the seven nations submitted to their authority. Naberius was responsible for helping the Heavenly Principles create animals, plants, and humans. After the deposition of the Primordial Sea's first heart, the Hydro Dragon, she created Egeria to serve as the new heart of the Primordial Sea. After the Cataclysm, Naberius's heart was eventually discovered by Albedo and his master, Rhinedottir, deep in within a dungeon. Shortly after discovering it, Rhinedottir disappeared, leaving behind a message for Albedo to uncover the "truth and meaning of this world." Her heart was later devoured by Rhinedottir, and Naberius fused with her. After fusing with Rhinedottir, Naberius lost her agency, with Rhinedottir inheriting her powers and duties as the Ruler of Life. During a routine meeting with the other Shades in Celestia to discuss the whereabouts of Asmoday, Rhinedottir attended in Naberius's place. Though stripped of her agency, Naberius still voiced her disapproval of Rhinedottir's words and actions from within their shared mind.
