La Signora possessed a Pyro Vision, while the Cryo power she wielded came from a Delusion. Her past was somewhat similar to Lisa's: both had studied in Sumeru, both possessed extraordinary talent, and both bore the title of witch. Unfortunately, her era had coincided with the Khaenri'ah Cataclysm.

Because of Khaenri'ah, countless Abyss monsters had attacked Mondstadt, resulting in the death of her lover, Young Wolf Rostam, then the deputy commander of the Knights of Favonius. La Signora had gone mad afterward, burning away all her strength to incinerate the monsters. She should have burned herself away as well, but at that moment, the Jester found her with the Cryo Archon's power and saved her. Afterward, La Signora became a member of the Fatui.

Having lost the one she loved most, La Signora had taken out her resentment on the Anemo Archon, Barbatos. In her eyes, Young Wolf Rostam had died because the Anemo Archon had failed to act.

But La Signora had wronged Barbatos in this matter. Barbatos had not been in Mondstadt at the time; he had been in Khaenri'ah. Not only had he been unaware of what was happening in Mondstadt, even if he had known, he could not have returned in time.

"Calm down." Shen Fei watched La Signora's body begin to change and flicked a droplet of water from his right hand into her forehead. As soon as it entered her body, the flames around La Signora vanished, and her expression calmed. The droplet Shen Fei had flicked out was no ordinary water—it was the Mind-Cleansing Spirit Mantra, the same method Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei had used in the original work to restore the mad Lu Jin to his senses. It could effectively suppress the frenzied flames within La Signora.

"Who exactly are you?"
