A one of a kind survivor of the Cataclysm. Affected by both the curse of immortality and the curse of the wilderness, Stasya found herself torn between two sides. Would she give in to her fate and become a mindless beast, or join her brothers and sisters in arms to retaliate against the heavens above?

In the end, she chose neither. She could not remember the events that lead to such a tragedy, but she knew she wanted no association with anything or anyone related. And so she walks her own path, hardened by five hundred years of self-imposed solitude.

If asked how she feels about the fall of her home nation all those years ago, she'll reply "Celestia sought to punish the sinners of Khaenri'ah. But was everyone involved truly a sinner as they claimed?"

If asked how she feels about The Seven, she will remain silent, and her expression will tell you all you need to know.

If asked what she wants in life, she will at first remain quiet. But if prodded, she will finally answer:

"I want the same as everyone else. The right to live, and the right to die."

Additional Information:

While she will occasionally descend for supplies, she chooses to live on Dragonspine.

 Because of the proximity to his research camp, she most often interacts with Albedo. While their relationship is unusual and rocky at times, he's the person she would most consider a friend.

Her relationship with Kaeya is strained at best and hostile at worst. Both are distrustful and prefer to avoid the memories the other bring up, but at times, it's nice to confide in someone who understands what it's like.

While she's interacted with most of the Mondstadt cast at least once, she isn't particularly close to anyone else and prefers to keep to herself.

Her favorite food is cheese due to how easily it can be preserved, and her least favorite food is slime due to an experience where she accidentally froze her stomach after eating a cryo slime.

While usually kept busy by basic survival tasks, Stasya will sometimes make carvings out of scrap wood. She doesn't have any particular attachment to them though, and will often discard the finished product.

Stasya is capable of mimicking others voices, and can speak with a polyphonic overtone, or "dual-toned" voice. When frustrated, her voice becomes deeper, rougher, and more like a hilichurls.

Her right eye tracks movement but droops lower than the left due to an old head injury. She will often experience migraines due to the resulting struggles with her vision.

Due to a mix of factors, she has limited facial expressions. She does not smile naturally, and while she can physically make herself smile, she looks strained and forced. On the flip side, it's very easy for her to end up "snarling" when frustrated or upset. Outside of that, she often ends up with a blank, apathetic facial expression.

The reason she is affected by both curses is due to genetic chimerism, with two zygotes (one "pure-blooded" and one "half-blooded") having merged together in utero. However, this fact remains unknown to her, and she assumes that her particular situation is a matter of luck or a cruel twist of fate.

Due to the curse of the wilderness, Stasya has lost most of her past memories, and feels disconnected from the few she can recall. The only memory of her past she can recall in perfect detail is the fall of Khaenri'ah, no matter how much she wishes she could forget.

She was seventeen when Khaenri'ah fell. She has aged slowly since then, and now appears to be somewhere between mid to late twenties.
