Meanwhile, Yelan's true identity has always been shrouded in secrecy. She frequently shows up in various guises at the center of events and then vanishes before the storm passes. This can be proven by how there are no characters in Genshin Impact that talk about Yelan in their voice-over lines.

People with problems are looking forward to meeting her. Most of them believe she will assist them for some reason, and if she does not, they want her to be their ally.

The difficulty is that their opponents believe the same thing. Each of these individuals has encountered Yelan with a distinct name and identity, and each believes they can form a partnership with her. However, everyone has been kept in the dark.

Despite joining the Arataki Gang at a later stage, Kuki Shinobu is an influential person that transformed the entire gang. Following her arrival, the gang's commercial scope was extended to include legal counseling, business negotiations, banquet catering, and clothing customization, among other things.

What's more astonishing is that the idle Arataki Gang was able to produce all of the necessary certificates, all of which were signed by the same person: Kuki Shinobu. This second-in-command is claimed to have studied overseas and has close ties to the Tenryou Commission.

When strangers hear this, they are bound to have a lot of doubts. However, residents of Hanamizaka who frequently deal with the Arataki Gang are different, and they always seek her guidance on numerous topics without reservation.
