Lumine

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Lumine traveled through many worlds with Aether before arriving in Teyvat. Some of the civilizations they visited possessed technology more advanced than Earth’s, including sophisticated internet systems and accompanying laws 110 526.

When the siblings attempted to leave Teyvat five hundred years before her present journey, a white-haired deity wielding red cubes blocked them. The deity took Aether and deprived Lumine of her power. Zhongli later identifies her as the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles 142 275 351.

After awakening, Lumine wandered the wilderness and eventually fished Paimon out of the sea near Fallen Star Valley. Paimon became her friend and guide, promising to help her travel through Teyvat’s nations and find her missing brother 110.

Appearance

• Hair and eyes: Golden hair, amber eyes, and two white flowers pinned in her hair 110 111.
• Usual clothing: A white backless dress with long white sleeves, trailing ribbons, and white over-the-knee, high-heeled boots decorated with golden patterns 110 127 133.
• Casual clothing: Wears a white short-sleeved top and white shorts while relaxing at home 142.
• Abyss Princess form: Her first transformation gives her platinum hair, brilliant pure-gold eyes, translucent crystal-white skin, and a cold, aloof demeanor 397.

Personality

Lumine is cautious about disclosing her otherworldly origins, but she is willing to trust people who respect her privacy. After Paimon accidentally hints at her background, Lumine explains her situation to Li Qiuzhi and Fischl while asking them to keep it secret. She later extends the same consideration to Li Qiuzhi, choosing not to pry into his unexplained abilities 110 154.

She is practical about money and reluctant to impose on friends. Initially declining Li Qiuzhi’s accommodation offer, she rents an inn room instead; only after their friendship deepens does she accept a spare room in his home. She also challenges Paimon’s assumption that Lumine alone should earn their living 127 133.

Her loyalty is particularly evident in her defense of Paimon and her determination to understand Aether’s actions. News of his involvement with the Abyss Order troubles her, but strengthens her resolve to find him rather than making her abandon him 164 206 301.

Lumine is affectionate but easily embarrassed by public displays of romance. She accepts Li Qiuzhi’s closeness while frequently rebuking his teasing and womanizing. After learning that Aether is alive, she becomes less frantic about finding him and more willing to enjoy traveling while rebuilding her strength 231 234 351 443.

Abilities & Skills

Visionless Elemental Control

Lumine awakens elemental powers by touching Statues of the Seven rather than obtaining a Vision 122 244.

• Anemo: Produces wind vortices, Wind Blades, Wind Bullets, and hurricanes. She also directs Anemo backward to accelerate while gliding 129 139 230 250.
• Geo: Creates solid rock and reinforces her sword with Geo for defense 244 262.
• Electro: Gains access through Inazuma’s Statue of the Seven; her existing elemental experience lets her expect proficiency within two or three days 355.
• Simultaneous use: Can wield her awakened elements together without internal rejection, including releasing Anemo and Electro as a combined attack 244 365.
• Limitations: Newly awakened powers still require practice. A simple Anemo barrier is not automatically a reliable defensive Elemental Skill 244 250.

Abyss Princess

A Spirit Rank trait granted by Li Qiuzhi allows Lumine to enter and leave the Abyss Princess state freely. Its power is acquired through his ability, not through membership in the Abyss Order 397 464.

Corruption Purification and Control

Lumine’s original purification ability and her later Abyss-power mastery provide different ways to handle dangerous contamination 124 464.

Swordsmanship
