During the first few minutes of the new Genshin Impact teaser, the developer explained more about the concept of Sumeru. It is a nation that treasures wisdom, with the affairs of the state handled by an organization called the Akademiya.

The introduction of new characters was mentioned during the last few seconds before the video ended.


Alhaitham

The first new character introduced in the teaser is Alhaitham, a person Travelers will meet by chance in Port Ormos. He is also from Haravatat in the Akademiya. During a split second of the video, players can spot a Dendro vision on his left shoulder, indicating that he wields the said power.


Dehya

The next character is Dehya, a dark-skinned character sporting what looks like a cat ear. Considering Genshin Impact already has Gorou, Diona, Yae Miko, and Tighnari with similar ears, the community expects that Dehya is also the same case and possesses certain animal blood through her veins.

Travelers can also spot a Pyro vision dangling from her belt that suits her overall design, with fiery red clothes.


Nilou

Then, Travelers have Nilou, who is said to have gone off the beaten path. Although Sumeru is a land that values rationality and wisdom, Nilou chose to pursue art and dance. She is a mysterious one as her Vision can't be seen clearly from the teaser.

The community predicted her to be either a Hydro character, based on the blue linings on her clothes and necklace, or a Pyro character from her glowing red hair.


Nahida

Very little information was released during the introduction of the little girl called Nahida, with the exception of her name and dubbed as a mysterious girl. Nahida is also another case of an unknown vision holder as the shot is too far away, and no Vision can be seen on her. But judging from the color choices of her clothes, players can expect her to be a Dendro character.


Cyno

The last formally introduced character is Cyno, who is called The General Mahamatra. Fortunately, players can spot his Vision around his belt: Electro vision. In addition to the polearm-looking spear, the community predicts him to be an Electro polearm user.


It is worth remembering that each new character in Sumeru, including Tighnari, Dori, and Collei, was never mentioned of their rarity. Players can only wait for the next Genshin Impact livestream for more official information.
