#melusine genshin

so I took these pictures because someone in a discord server I'm in was surprised when I drew a little doodle of a Melusine and the doodle had little wings, because they didn't know Melusines could have wings

I figured it would be useful to anyone who was making a Melusine OC or just wanted some Melusine references, so here's several Melusines who have little wings!

This is not all of them though, as I know there's at least 1 Melusine with wings who is a quest-locked NPC (Elynas) and because the only quests in Fontaine I don't have done are locked behind commissions, I wasn't able to take pictures of those ones

Interacting with the Melusines while playing as Neuvillette is both sweet and amusing because of how often they'll talk about him

[prettybbychim]

neuvillette’s bow is so low in his hair because the melusines love to help with his hair but they can’t reach any higher

About the Melusines and their inspiration

Let me tell you the medieval french story of the fairy called Mélusine~

But first, we have to start with her father, Elinas, king of what would later become Albany, Scotland.

(TL;DR at the end)

King Elinas was hunting down some boars in a forest, when he saw, next to a fountain, a beautiful young woman. He asked to marry her, and she accepted at one condition : to never look at her when she will be giving birth or bathing their future children. Her name was Persine, and she actually was a fairy.

They had three daughters, named Mélusine, Mélior and Palestine.

Alas, the king’s son, Mataquas, born from a first wedding, was jealous of his mother-in-law's happiness, and convinced his father to enter the room where she was bathing her daughters, thus breaking the promise Elinas had made. Persine then exiled herself and her three daughters on Avalon, telling them as they grew up that if they were stranded in this misery, it was because of their father’s falsity.

She kept telling this to her daughters, so much so that came a point when Mélusine convinced her sisters to punish their father, by imprisoning him in a mountain called Brumblerio.

They did not expect their mother to get mad at them and punish each one of them for that. I won’t get into the details of the younger sisters', but Mélusine's punishment was that she would turn into a snake from the waist-down each Saturday.

But not to worry! If she wanted to marry a man someday, she would live a perfectly happy and normal life, with a normie death, if only her husband never sees her on a Saturday! :D

Oh, and if she leaves her husband, she'll be half-snake constantly, but surely, nothing bad will happen~

One day, after Mélusine has travelled to France (because why not, I guess), she was chilling in some forest.

At the same time, some guy named Raymond of Lusignan, son of some earl, was hunting a boar with his uncle, and accidentally killed said uncle. And as he was fleeing in both grief and because he was hunted down for murder, he found a fountain at midnight. And at this fountain was Mélusine. (Yes, there’s a pattern.)

She comforts him and offers her help, if he marries her and promises to not try seeing her on Saturdays. He accepts, they get married and have 10 sons, but we don’t need to care about them.

Small aside, Mélusine is said to have built several buildings in the regions of Poitou and Lorraine, as well as full on cities, castles and churches. But she built everything during the night and stopped if anyone saw her.

Back to Raymond, who was keeping his promise. Until his older brother, jealous of him (for political and economic reasons, I guess), told that his wife was seeing another man on Saturdays. Thus, Raymond went to the bathroom where Mélusine was at the time, made a peephole in the door and looked inside. Only to see his half-snake wife taking her bath.

Mélusine then flew away, out of despair, and would later show herself each time the Lusignan familiy’s properties would change owners or a family member would soon die (probably looking like some ghost to the common man ? Pure speculation on my part, though).

TL;DR:

Mélusine was a fairy in the french medieval folklore, heavily associated with water, more specifically fountains and basins, and her father was named Elinas. She would also turn half-snake on a regular basis.

So, between the "Fontaine" region, the "Melusines" race, their father "Elynas", the castles Mélusine built, the fact that snakes where sometimes called "dragons" in medieval texts, and all the water imagery in Fontaine...

Yeah, let's say those are really nice easter eggs.
