so Citlali's skin description just answered everyone's question about her...
Yet, even as this attire offered Citlali a deep and restful slumber, it drew the attention of two ancient gazes. Beneath the shimmering starlight, the enigmatic mists lingering in the breeze drifted into her dreams. In her daze, she seemed to catch the faint echoes of a conversation between the Lord of the Night and the Wayob... "In her hands, the colored mists are spun into fine thread, and the starry sky is imprinted into patterns; her worthiness is beyond doubt. Bestow your blessing upon her — may the long years she traverses serve to sustain this ancient mandate." "And yet, in the futures I foresee, she remains as she is now: solitary and alone... How, then, shall she endure the vast expanse of time?" "To bear the burden of history is a path destined for solitude." Then, the night wind swept the enigmatic mists away, and the stars ceased their shimmering.
they just decided to extend her lifespan because she was too talented...
but like... they can do that? those two can just extend someone's lifespan because they want to? isn't expending a human's lifespan a pretty big deal in GI, generally? they get more sus by the second... forget Teyvat has its own laws, it seems Natlan has its own laws
there is also this line during Mavuika's Story Quest:
Citlali: You're aware that Mavuika's not the first Pyro Archon, yes? On occasion, there were those who lived longer than an ordinary human, not unlike my situation. But, all in all, the title has changed hands many times. - After the Peace
considering that she is quite literally the only known long lived Natlan character who isn't a dragon through its entire history, does that mean she isn't the only instance of this happening? have the Lord of the Night and the Wayob extended lifespans of several people through Natlan's history?
