Lyney

Biodata

Background / History

Lyney lives with Lynette and Freminet. He becomes anxious when Lynette fails to return home at her usual time and immediately leaves to search for her, a reaction Freminet recognizes as typical whenever Lynette is absent for too long. 16

He traces the aftermath of Wu Wanghai and Lynette's battles to a dangerous Domain near Lumidouce Harbor. Arriving during their fight with Clockwork Mekas, he saves Lynette with a fiery arrow and deploys Cat Burglar's Hat to draw the enemies' attention. 18

After learning that Wu brought Lynette along while trying to protect her, Lyney considers Wu a major benefactor and joins his team so he can keep Lynette safe. 19 He later agrees to help Wu gather Primogems, though he rejects Wu's request to involve the entire Fatui and warns that Wu lacks the leverage to ask the organization for such assistance. 22

Personality

Lyney is intensely protective of Lynette. He worries when she disappears without leaving a signal, objects whenever Wu Wanghai makes suggestive remarks about her, and chooses to accompany Wu's group primarily to prevent another dangerous separation. 16 19 20

He is practical and resourceful. Lyney monitors the time during expeditions, identifies safe places to camp, prepares food, and develops portable magic bags with Lynette as a potential means of preserving people's belongings should Fontaine's prophecy come true. 19

Although generally friendly, he remains cautious around Wu. Wu's unexpected knowledge of Freminet, the House of the Hearth, and other figures in Teyvat repeatedly makes Lyney question his origins and intentions. 20 22
