furina is such a 15 year old girl to me its unreal
#auri rambles#genshinposting#okay there are other teenagers in genshin but furina's immaturity really makes her feel more human in a way#yk fischl is cringe and chunni so she's 14 to me but like a lot of the other teens are like#'oh im a renowned celebrity chef' 'im a successful author' 'im an exorcist' 'im an adventurer'#in a way their characterisations revolve around a specific archetype or job they have. they're supposed to be admired in a way.#with furina she's like a reflection of the insecure teenage self and she's frivolous and dramatic but because of her role as an archon#she's so scared. its like she knows she's weaker and less capable than other archons. even those who are younger than her.#that gap of maturity and responsibility really makes her feel for her. she's a kid.#furina's character succeeds where fischl's fails because her stakes and reasons for acting the way she does are so much higher#fischl being prinzessin is so low stakes in comparison that she just kinda feels cringe and she gets on my nerves lol#because it feels like she's doing a lot of it just because she can or she's escaping her loneliness or whatever.#but while fischl can just drop the act whenever she wants furina is trapped in public opinion.#fischl criticism aside i just wanted to say that the way furina's character is handled really makes her feel like someone who would#buy stupid things online and worry about her weight and watch too much netflix and take too long in the shower.#because she doesn't have to be 'admired' she has more room to be read as a much more human and sympathetic character.
