Rhinedottir

Biodata

Background

Rhinedottir created the dragon Durin and the Golden Wolflord, then let them loose to slaughter people in Mengde and Chengyan. She and the other four sinners also divided the power Kairuiya used to fight the Abyss 32.

After Lin Feng awakened, he placed a restraint in her body that forbade inhuman experiments in Teyvat. Rhinedottir had fused with the Ruler of Life and could not defy him. She later assisted Nahida, Raiden Ei, and Xilonen in reforming Teyvat’s cultivation system to allow mortals to become gods 21 33.

Appearance

Rhinedottir has brilliant yellow hair and mismatched eyes. In the Temple of Life, she wears clothing resembling a nun’s habit and sits on a throne 33.

• Eyes: One blue and one yellow, with an endless breath of life emanating from her pupils 33.
• Companion: A creature with a lion’s head and a dog’s body lies at her feet 33.

Personality

Rhinedottir is fascinated by creating life beyond existing frameworks and eagerly seeks living test subjects. The ban on inhuman experiments in Teyvat left her frustrated, and she welcomed the arrival of Douluo Continent participants as a chance to resume her work 33.

She treats others’ expectations as opportunities for amusement. After promising to spare the winners of a contest as the Ruler of Life, she claimed that Rhinedottir had made no such promise. Zhongli describes her as having “zero credibility” 32 35.

Her treatment of Klee contrasts with her conduct toward test subjects: she comforted her frightened niece and allowed her to return to the Knights after admitting defeat 35.

Story Role

The Sea God Island contest

Rhinedottir proposed a series of 3v3 matches to the Douluo Continent factions, offering to let them go if they won one match. Entrants had to sign up and provide fingerprints; Tang San’s promises of Divine Realm resources persuaded more factions to join 32.

Klee competed in the first match and admitted defeat after nearly killing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. When Tang San celebrated, Rhinedottir bound him and invoked the distinction between herself and the Ruler of Life to disregard the promised release. The Ruler of Death then began the Curse of Immortality against the designated targets 33 35 36.

Rhinedottir took participants, including Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, for experiments. The three former Shrek students escaped and later took Tang Hao to her laboratory; he subsequently appeared with a lizard body 45 53 54.

The White Tiger Duke’s family

While watching Huo Yuhao’s revenge plans, Rhinedottir saw an opportunity to obtain subjects from a future spacetime. She offered him two Teyvat Fried Eggs in exchange for the White Tiger Duke’s nine familial branches. After Huo Yuhao had taken his revenge, he handed the Duchess and the others over to her 59 63 64 65.

The Sea God Trident bargain

When God King Tang San attacked Klee at Shrek Academy, Rhinedottir and Alice appeared to protect her. Rhinedottir seized the true Sea God Trident and demanded seven gods of at least Third Level for her experiments, while Alice requested an opportunity to explore the Douluo God Realm with Klee. Tang San agreed, though he secretly intended not to send the gods 68.

Rhinedottir then took the Peerless Tang Sect timeline’s Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar herself. Tang San lured Alice and Klee into the Old Divine Dragon Realm Ruins and later threatened Rhinedottir with them to demand his family back 70 71.
