Wanted to try my hands at making some proxies with the japanese Mystical Archive frame. I designed a slightly simplified version of it and tried a few colors. Took the opportunity to portray some Genshin characters! To keep a theme, they're all Inazuma characters.

First one was Yoimiya. There aren't a lot of interesting archer characters, especialy in pure red, so I went with Ashling, Flame Dancer. Casting many spell to gain looting effects, damages and mana felt like it worked with her many arrows and her habits of giving presents and preparing explosive fireworks! The wonderful art is made by Issign, and you can find their work here : 微糖去冰 (@issign) / X

Kirara is Yeva, Nature's Herald. My logic was fairly straightforward for this, with green being dendro and the focus on flash representing her ability to travel the world at a fast pace. Azusa was also an option, more lands per turn to represent journeying around. I'm really glad I found Ach Ib's art for it, it's quite a perfect fit. The faded out background fits really nice on a card, the small text box works well with having two characters in focus, and Chiori + Kirara is a lovely duo!

The third try is Raiden Shogun. It was difficult to find something that represented her confinement, or her rule over the shogunate and the tempests... I thought about Naomi, Konda, or even Fumiko for the constant state of war in Inazuma. Keranos was on the table because god of storms is sort of a given. But I ended up going with Raiyuu, Storm's Edge. This way, the card has relevant speed and focus on samurai as a type, as well as a wink back to the storm theme.

And last one is Kamisato Ayaka. She is Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice. I don't really have a train of thought on that was, just a general feeling that it fits. Maybe it's because of the way she is overprotected by everyone, maybe it's because of the small body with a great power. Art is by Hajikkoneko, and I'm glad I could find a gorgeous piece of Ayaka in warm color and an inazuma outfit (rather than her fontainian one).

Overall I'm really happy with the result!
