While she gives off the supernatural, distant airs of an Adeptus, she is fully human. Shenhe is a Cryo Polearm user who greatly amplifies the damage of her teammates with her immensely powerful Icy Quills that activate upon dealing Cryo damage, as well as her Elemental Burst that passively shred both Cryo and Physical resistances.

3. Personality


Shenhe is a woman with a cool, reserved demeanor that gives off an otherworldly aura that convinces many she is an adeptus, much to her annoyance. Shenhe was believed to be a cursed child who would believe a trail of destruction in her wake. To prevent this the adepti, who took her in, bounded her soul with special red ropes to restrain some of her murderous impulses. However, this had the side effect of repressing many of her emotions, and when she finds herself annoyed these impulses can start to leak out. Only by a chance meeting with the Traveler does she begin to gradually open up and desire to try and live amongst humans once more.


4. Appearance


Shenhe is a tall woman with fair white skin and piercing silver eyes. She has long silver hair that is braided down to to her lower back with black tips, and parted off center by a black and white headpiece in a way that obscures her right eye. Her outfit is a skintight black bodysuit that turns turquoise at the base of her legs has exposes her back, with two diamond shaped openings near her hips. She wears a sleeveless qipao with flowing fabric that resemble her master’s wings. Her Cryo vision is located on the red braid that ties her hair together.


5. Character Stories


→ Character Details



Shenhe was originally from a branch family of exorcists, but due to a series of coincidences, she became the disciple of an adeptus.

She is a student solely of Cloud Retainer in name, but her impressive constitution and intelligence quickly won several other adepti over.

She would go on to learn from them all, eventually becoming a master of adeptal arts in her own right as a mortal.

She very much looks the part as well in her unique temperament and manner of carrying herself — indeed, it would be no understatement to name her a true adeptus upon meeting her for the first time.

However, it is precisely due to the long years of tutelage that she has lacked company save for the adepti and odd passing illuminated beast.

This isolation has caused her to grow distant and indifferent.


→ Character Story 1


Sometimes, a few rumors will escape from Liyue's small community of pilgrims to make the rounds in the city's back streets.

These tales often depict someone being in a hopeless situation in some desperate place, when suddenly—

A wandering white-haired adeptus comes to their rescue in the nick of time...

Most such stories are a collection of lovely, intoxicating clichés, little different from the oft-told street-tales of fated marriages and the like.

But if one were to ask that white-haired adeptus to tell the story, it would take a vastly different shape:


"Some annoying creatures worm their way into the mountains from time to time. I simply get rid of them to prevent them from disturbing my master's meditations."

"If some people did wind up getting caught in the crossfire and injured... Well, it was their decision to come here. There isn't much I can do about that."
