“ . . So , she went and died , did she ? ”

“ . . . ”

“And I gave you every reason not to.”

Columbina acts as though she is above and better than all ‘normal’ people living in Teyvat. She treats them and acts towards them as if they are silly little things who don’t really understand the world around them or what true power is.

In reality, Columbina is jealous of them. So jealous it feels like the envy consumes her at times. To be able to originate from and grow in a world of light, surrounded by others exactly like them who can feel and love and reciprocate these feelings that she’s never been able to experience before. Her whole reason for climbing out of the abyss was to have what they have , but even after doing so it’s still not the same. 

“ Good morning everyone , god has let me live another day ~ ! ”

     “  Nothing that transmutes from the palms of  these  hands could ever be considered  ‘normal’,  whatsoever. All alchemy is extraordinary, you see, for it is a beautifully crafted science that only a select few are gifted to learn. My usual days have consisted of experimentation of the human organs. Specifically, the spine.  ”    eyes flutter shut, the droning response shifting pleasantly into crooning hums.    “  It’s quite  fascinating, the human form. And incredibly complicated.  ”

Human experimentation then ? Alive or already deceased upon transmutation , she wondered. And were they dead , by what means ? After all , she doubted it would be all that easy to get ahold of fresh , human organs for such frivolous usage.

“ Alchemy , is it ? ” That expression is inquisitive , “ Can’t say I’ve ever looked into it much myself , but I’ve definitely heard of it. What , exactly , do you use it for under normal circumstance ? ”

“ Ara ? What an unexpectedly familiar face . . And here I would’ve thought you’d be running back home with your tail between your legs after that little mishap of yours. Then again , you’ve never been the type to run even when you should , isn’t that right , boy ? ”

Mondstadt / Sheznhaya 2 (but also default / favorite) :

* Definitely not human. Likes to give strange , cryptic answers when asked about this.

* Has a long list of alternate aliases.

* Extremely difficult to work with due to : Blatant refusal to work if she dislikes you , being extremely quick to anger / trigger happy , will get so caught up in bickering and bantering with her partners that she’ll forgo actual missions.

* One of , if not , the most wealthy of the harbingers. Likes to flaunt her money / use it to get her way. Has created another system of currency which she’s used to subjugate smaller territories after they become reliant on it. (Grand plan is to have her currency overtake mora entirely.)

* Works smarter not harder. Surprising lazy streak. 

*Enjoys going along with things for the sake of entertainment even if it goes directly against her mission.

* The equivalent of the Fatui’s treasurer. 

* Cryo catalyst user. Has specially crafted catalyst weapon (conveniently gun shaped.)

* Craves constant attention whether positive or negative , and enjoys causing problems in order to get it.
