Canon Divergence - Meilu

The main point of divergence is that Zhongli CREATED Meilu as an Exuvia; she is a separate 'body' from him. They exist at the same time with separate ideals, goals and personal interests.

Name: Meilu ( Pronounced ) Age: ??? ( 'Spiritually' 6,000 + ) Height: 5'11 Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Pronouns: She/Her Species: Dragon ( Adepti ) Element: Geo ( Earth ) Weapon: Polearm

[ Please note: This post will be updated regularly due to future developments. Will most likely be reblogged with something NEW is added ]

Personality:

Meilu thoroughly enjoys pushing the 'boundaries' between femininity and masculinity; a 'feminine' curvy female body and a tone of voice that could catch others off guard by how 'deep' yet sultry she can create with full control over her own vocal chords.

Many would describe Meilu to be calm, polite, incredibly loyal and rather sentimental ( more tender towards others, especially children, in comparison to having feelings of nostalgia like her predecessors ) UNTIL someone annoys her in some way that is to where Meilu resorts more to animalistic responses - glares of golden glowing eyes, low growls that slowly intensify and verbal warnings in a deep rumble from her throat; dragon mode.

However, majority of the time Meilu portrays herself in public with elegance and grace and some times a 'motherly' atmosphere when communicating and greeting others. She can be incredibly soft spoken around children; knowing her voice could easily scare them.

Appearance:

Please note: No tagged art belongs to ME!

Fashion wise, Meilu thrives in wearing traditional clothing of Liyue design ( Chinese inspired ) the only time you won't see her wear such clothing is if she intended to TRAVEL and tends to wear a repurposed ARCHON outfit ( see travel attire below ) as it is better insulated to protect her from outside elements - extreme heat or cold; as it can put her into a state of hibernation.

More images may be added. I will try keep sources linked.

Abilities:

Meilu will always be an Elemental Dragon of the GEO element; even if she prefers standing at a distance while using Adeptus Arts as support - or even hand to hand combat to deal with 'opponents' quickly if she is feels the situation calls for it.

She, like other Adepti of the Mountains, has her own domain/abode created for a multitude of reasons. Like storing her belongings as Meilu travels fairly regularly; it has no fixed point of entry as the 'domain' is similar to the Serenitea Pot - the object to open her domain is small and Meilu keeps it a secret to 'trick' observers to think she is opening it using only her thoughts.

Another ability that Meilu has 'mastered' is simply called a 'memory stone' that mixes her natural ability to create gems of GEO with an secret/lost Adepti Art that fits perfectly with an ability she gained from her predecessor which is the ability to walk through someone's dream... only this 'connection' is deeper than a dream as she can view an individuals memories with an spiritual imbued bite from her jaws - the firmness of the bite depends on if the person is mortal or not.

The results. A stone imbued with her powers and the individuals memories permanently stored within. It is actually Meilu's own form of a contract; she claims no ownership of someone else's memories nor will she reveal what has been seen without the persons permission in exchange! The stone will resonate if the individual is in danger - if they have it on them somewhere at the time! - and Meilu will show up and offer assistance to the person who held the stone.

Character Story + Voicelines:

Created, before Zhongli traded his Gnosis to the Fatui in the form of a contract with the Tsaritsa, instead of born by natural birth or 'dragon' egg of sorts ~ Meilu has many internal struggles as a result. Mainly Imposter syndrome, as she has ALL of her creators memories and powers but very few that were created by personal experiences - her few months/years of life compared to over 6,000+ of knowledge and experience. As a result, Meilu wishes to travel and find her own place in the world - either in Teyvat or an entirely different universe!

Voicelines:

Hello: "Oh. Hello ~ My name is Meilu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Good Morning: "Mn ~ Morning. Forgive me... I have come to realize that I'm not exactly a morning person." Good Night: "Another day gone? The sun has once again set ~ Please rest well, I hope you have pleasant dreams ~" About Zhongli: "I hold no ill will towards my creator, the struggles I've endured after my creation have been my own." About Xiao: "It's odd. I have so many memories of him and the other Yaksha from my predecessor but I've never met them myself and have had little contact with Xiao himself since my creation... is he perhaps avoiding me due to his loyalty to the former Liyue Archon?" About Venti: "I'm not the 'old friend' that Zhongli is to them and I hope they know that. I would like to get to know 'Venti' but only if they wish to get to know me." About Tartaglia: "A powerful mortal with abilities that causes him harm. I do wish he would put more thought before resorting to his Foul Legacy transformation. However, that isn't for me to demand of him, he is an intelligent individual but also a Harbinger of the Fatui, so I have no authority over him." About Hu Tao: "Not many in Liyue seem to get along with her. I haven't had that issue, I actually wonder if I bore Hu Tao at times. Thankfully, my natural sensitivity to spirits have helped the Funeral Parlor.. I do hope she didn't take it personally after I declined her offer to join as a consultant? My personal goals simply didn't match up." About Yanfei: "I often observe the Harbor from a high vantage point as my dragonic senses, especially hearing, make it easy to watch from afar. So I have witnessed how Yanfei handles herself with the public and I'm always impressed by the strategies she implements to maintain a balance between fairness and the law when dealing with even 'mundane' cases. The giant book is also precious ~" Hobbies: "It has taken me some time to figure out what I enjoy enough since my creation. My main hobby? I suppose the official term would be Gemology. I hope my answer doesn't disappoint you?" Favorite Food: "I simply adore Tianshu Meat ~ It may look 'heavy' and overly 'fatty' but it really isn't... would you like to try some?" Least Favorite Food: "I have no gag reflex but when I was first served 'A Prize Catch' by Tartaglia my throat wished that I had one-- hm? You didn't know that about me? Oh-- my apologizes ~" Birthday: "Happy Birthday, would you allow me to spend the day with you? We don't have to do anything extravagant if you don't wish to make a 'big deal' of this special day of your original birth."

Trivia:

In game: Meilu would have a 4 piece Archaic Petra set as her artifacts. Why? Because she doesn't like sitting around behind a shield; Meilu is essentially a 'rush' switch character and will allow her team mates to create an openly for her to buff the team.

She scales off of ATK not HP, sue her-- I mean fight me!

Weapon wise; Meilu's preferred 5 star option would be Vortex Vanquisher but her go to 4 star option would be Prototype Starglitter!
