Hmmm that is true, but she's a lot more pro-active than Knights are, and not that insecure. I'd be more inclined to an active class I think, let me see what I remember from her lore,

Seer/Mage: definitely not

Heir/Witch: Witch seems promising, she is trying to get other's to be more skeptical while pushing for change in her own ways

Sylph/Maid: Maid is a maybe, I feel like if she was a Maid she would be more successful in creating skeptics but it's not out of the question

Bard/Prince: nah. You could maybe make an argument that she's trying to destroy the current system, but if I remember right, she's not really; she's just trying to create back up plans

Rogue/Thief: I don't think so

Knight/Page: I do think Knight is one of my "maybes"

So Witch, Maid, Knight

I guess the main question is, how does she go about utilizing Rage? While Knights are generally accepted as the best at protection, anyone can have the goal of protecting the thing(s) they love. Jade and Aradia were pretty damn vital to protecting their sessions, it just wasn't their MO in day to day life

A Mage of Time is someone who actively tries to understand the flow and relevance of time, uncovering the past and creating their future.

She, at first, reads as Light given her propensity for academics and reading. But a Light player wouldn't shy away from information. Her lore says that she left the akademiya after seeing the mad scholars and useless sages, and that she knows there's a dark secret behind visions and is fearful of the truth, yet she's also the best akademiya student in the last 200 years.

She accomplished in two years what could take others a lifetime: Lisa wants to make the most of her time, because she's well aware she doesn't get a lot of it. So while she stays on top of studying like a good Mage should, she also lazes about and enjoys the finer things in life.

Plus, there seems to be hints in her lore that have something to do with time, her constellation primary among them.

A Thief of Void is someone who hoards secrets, who thrives in irrelevance, who takes the enigma from someone and leaves them in the open light.

Kaeya is flush with mystery; this is something everyone knows. He loves using misdirection to trip people up and obfuscate anything and everything he's doing, whether it actually needs hiding or not. He enjoys dishing out Schrodinger's information: you *might* be onto something, but it might also be nothing at all.

He hoards Mondstadt's secrets, not vying for information itself but for the movement in the dark. He's figured out everyone and everything but it's up to him, personally, what to disclose and when.

This ask is insanely old but now it's haunting my inbox and I must exorcise it.

Hello anon! Kaeya has been giving me a lot of trouble despite being one of the original characters and therefore one with the most information to consider.

Eventually I have arrived at Kaeya: Thief of Void. I think the Void part eluded me due to the nature of the aspect.

A Rogue of Life is someone who takes distributes healing and fixes to others.

He takes healing prowess from Changsheng and gives it out to anyone who needs medicine. He has a strong drive to overcome perhaps the biggest obstacle a mortal can face: death.

Also works with the common theory that Rogues never seem to be able to keep their aspect for themselves.

A Heir of Time is someone who passively manipulates endings, changing how people prepare for and are handled after death.

Hu Tao, I would say, is one of the clearest Time players outside of Homestuck itself. The celebration of endings and respect of death, the loathing for people prolonging their lifespan, the *poetry*!!!!! She's very reminiscent of (alive) Aradia, with the love of rhythm and freestyling of Dave.

Her class was a bit more difficult. The pairs that stood out to me were Heir/Witch and Rogue/Thief. She doesn't "make" Time and she doesn't "destroy" Time. She doesn't have a servile or contentious relationship with Time as with a Knight/Page. She's more involved with managing Time than Seer/Mage and more active too, I think, though I did consider it.

I kept feeling like Heir was correct, but I couldn't actually explain it because, like, she's not trying to change out people die. But then, she *is* trying to change how people view death and how they prepare for it, constantly promoting the funeral parlor and trying to get more clients!

A Seer of Mind is someone who passively seeks the truth in peoples’ actions to advocate for justice.

While 'truth' might sound like Light, Neuvillette doesn't seem to care about information unless it relates to the case. He cares about finding out what people have done, and predicting what they are going to do. And then bringing them to justice.

Sounds like Terezi without the violence imo. Really good at predicting people impersonally, but not so good when it's matters of the heart.

Hello anon! I haven't got any Tumblr notifications for this blog for some reason so I'm really sorry for the late reply.

I tend to stick with just the classpects as I feel that my understanding of lunar sway is: different from the majority opinion, weaker than my understanding of classpects proper, and not as relevant outside of Homestuck universes

Here it is! https://www.tumblr.com/genshinbent/693296674550005760/raiden-shogunei-is-a-prince-of-mind?source=share

A Sylph of Light is someone who passively restores impact and influence through sharing and fixing information.

My first thought, and maybe yours too, was Life due to his interests in botany and the rainforest. Looking through his characters stories and voicelines though, I didn't see a lot about growth and strength and liberation; instead I read about his passion for research and knowledge, and his insistence on helping others understand things as well.

From his first character story: "Tighnari is able to communicate the correct way to act and the reasons behind that in a manner most comprehensible to those he teaches. The way he sees it, these crafts of living out in the wilds are also knowledge, and that getting people to accept knowledge is an art in and of itself... Knowledge is, in truth, the treasure of all living things. It should be passionately embraced by those who are curious about it as opposed to becoming a tool for survival, doled out in limited amounts."

A Bard of Void is someone who passively destroys lies and mysteries often using misdirection or confusion.

I mean, the first line of one of his character stories is "The way Heizou sees it, detectives are to destroy their opponents' defenses using their intelligence." Which is so Bard and in context makes a lot of sense for Void.

I agree that Heizou is Void! Though the fistkind thing is kind of tangential haha. I just updated the list to reflect that- he's my first Bard character too which is fun.

A Maid of Heart is someone who actively creates emotion and impulse to improve passion and sense of self.

An Heir of Breath is someone who passively changes drive and independence through inspiring motivation.

A Seer of Life is someone who passively understands how to fix problems and guides others to solutions and growth.

Her focus on laws to-the-letter originally struck me as Doom, but she is focused on how to improve them and how to get around them which is contrary to much of the things that Doom is.

Additionally, her least favorite cases are the messy, emotional ones. She likes fixing people's problems- not comforting them. That is clearly Life.

She's unparalleled in her knowledge of the law and her guidance in legal matters, I had Seer down for her before Life even.

Hi! For some reason, Tumblr didn't give me a notification for this ask so I didn't see it until now- sorry about that 😅

The way I understand classes and aspects is that one's aspect is primarily "nature" and one's class is primarily "nurture". Your aspect colors your entire understanding of the world; it's just the way your brain works. Your class is how you've learned to interact with your aspect and the world around you; it's more about action and behaviour.

I don't think Teyvat's "7 elements" translate into classes because anyone can grow into any class. In my view, assigning classes to the elements would be similar to saying that certain aspects equate to certain classes as well.

(as an example, if we say Geo = Blood, and Geo = Prince, then we'd have to say Blood = Prince. And that doesn't make much sense)

This isn't the question you asked so I'm putting it afterwards, but additionally:

Geo is pretty comparable to Blood but it's also similar to a few other aspects as well; aspects like Light and Space share a good amount of similarities. It can't really be a 1-to-1 ratio obviously, but more importantly: the different systems (the 7 elements and the 12 aspects) are designed to do different things in their respective universes.

The aspects, along with classes, are designed to be respective of a person's best and truest potential. Someone's classpect should be a summary of what this person looks like at their very best: both what they and enjoy and what they're good at.

We're not totally sure what the visions represent, nor why people receive one element over another, though there are some connecting factors that people speculate on. It seems more tied to the character's ambitions, goals, and actions than their personality, though I'm sure they influence each other.
