I started playing Genshin not so long ago and now I'm WAY too attached, especially to the Fontaine Characters! Sooo I put my OC Zetallis in Genshin too ❤️

I’ve been thinking about Furina’s vision and the reasons behind its shape. We know that the little sharp things around the gem are like dragon teeth, maybe a symbol of how Neuvillette is now the sole ruler of Hydro. But, what about the shape of the vision itself? Why is Furina’s a pneumousia vision?

I want to believe it’s because of Neuvillette himself. Previously, it was Focalor, and she was unable to canalise both arkhes on her own because it wasn’t her original power. That’s why, if you got your vision in Fontaine, it would follow the arkhe system. But now that the Hydro Dragon has regained his authority, he has control over this powers (which is canon btw). This would explain why Furina’s vision is pneumousia.

My theory is that now, Neuvi being Fontaine’s “god” (he would hate to be called that honestly), has unlocked a full control over this ability and the new vision holders might get all pneumousia visions, which would make the uniarkhe (only one arkhe) visions something akin to a relic.

So something I noticed in the Furina demo:

Her vision is only visible in her ousia form, and her hair is shorter.

This is interesting because Neuvillette, someone very close to Furina, actively mocks archons wearing counterfeit visions, so it's odd to see that his own archon would sport a vision, even more so when it's only in one form and not the other.

To add to this, all of the archons have glowing ends to their hair. It's even a way of telling Ei apart from her puppet, as one has glowing hair and the other doesn't. Furina's short hair lacks the glow from her long twin tails that her pneuma form has.

Could they be separate identities? Personalities? A disguise wouldn't make much sense because it's still distinguishably Furina.
