Yae in Genshin Impact: Renders, rumors and more info:

Yae is a character who features heavily in the lore of Genshin Impact's new region, Inazuma, and is the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine. This means she oversees and runs some of the aspects of this shrine, allowing for things to proceed smoothly.

She is mentioned by the Raiden Shogun, is an old friend of both Baal and Zhongli, and works similarly to Ganyu. One of Yae's most shocking features is her large fox-like ears, which players immediately pointed out as a connection to a character from another game, Yae Sakura from Honkai Impact.

It is still unknown what the connection between these two characters is beyond similarities in name and appearance, but players will definitely learn more about this important character as they progress through Inazuma. Yae seems like she will be an integral part of the Inazuma storyline, and players will need to get aid from her somehow as they travel.
