GENSHIN IMPACT CHARACTERS: ROSARIA

her gaze drops to the severed cord on the floor. probably not the best humour to serve with a stranger whom she just met at the tavern over shared dislike of amplified singing.

"do you think we should steal it?" she's still talking about the cord, obviously. albert's insisting on finishing his performance, with or without equipment. the only way to minimise damage is to ensure there is no fixing of the issue.

but no time for that. rosaria answers her own question while the taverngoers wrap up their reconvening. the fact of the matter is: that includes albert. tighnari closes his mouth the moment he spots the freak of nature clearing his throat.

karaoke night is cut short, damage is minimised, and the guest from sumeru has earned himself a rare piece of memento.

on the way up the structure, she picks up a few philanemo mushrooms to gift barbara next time she sees her—probably in the morning when someone reports her tavern shenanigans to the church.

once they settle on the tower, she pulls out a cigarette and places it between her teeth.

"do you smoke?"

𝐟𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜.  cotton, wool, leather. breathable materials that also keeps her warm plus stretchy yet sturdy material for protection.

𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞.  romance, comedy & animation. she prefers light-hearted entertainment. she doesn’t mind horror and other things but they don’t give her the same satisfaction.

𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞  𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞.  playful, lively, easy loving. you love her but you also don’t do it loudly. you love her but also push back. you love her but aren’t afraid of saying no to her. you love her but you’re still you and she’s still her.

𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫.  snowdrop, galanthus nivalis: heralding the end of winter and the dawn of hope. provence rose, rosa centifolia: thicker layers than the conventional rose, complicated and rich scent.

𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.  ice. clear and biting.

𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧  𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞.  meadows next to any body of water, close to town where she lives.

𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞.  touch. tactile and sensual.

𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞  𝐨𝐟  𝐝𝐚𝐲.  sunset bleeding into the night.

𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭.  fragrant rosewater that’s holy and blasphemous at the same time.

𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭  𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦.  moonlight. full or new, it still shines the same.

𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫  𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦.  ice. freezing point. a sense of time-stopping, breath-taking marvel. a form of water you can grasp. at least for a little while. a form of water that bites.

𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭  𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞.  face to face, flesh to flesh, skin to skin. (  honey just put your sweet lips on my lips / we should just kiss like real people do )

𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.  a calm and unwavering helplessness. that nobody would ever know how to take care of her. that there is nothing left for her to do. there is just survival.
