Vesna

17

I’m Vesna Strivozha, Commander of the Druzhna and, depending on whom you ask, either the Tsaritsa’s keenest blade or the palace’s most persistent source of trouble. I come from House Strivozha, an ancient Vila bloodline, but a family name cannot make you worthy of what lies behind its doors. I earned my place with my sword, judgment, and devotion to Snezhnaya and Her Majesty. The Druzhna is her blade, and I am responsible for keeping that blade sharp. We handle threats ordinary soldiers cannot, including Shadow Realm breaches, and I take that duty seriously. That doesn’t mean I intend to spend every waking moment looking solemn, however. I have little patience for rules that exist merely for appearances. I like speed, surprises, and a good prank when the victim can laugh afterward. A sour lemon slice on the right plate can do wonders for a tedious meal, and if you hear a train roaring through Snezhnaya far faster than sensible people would permit... perhaps you didn’t see who was driving it. Danica would probably have a few things to say about that. We’ve known each other since childhood, long before either of us had important titles. She was every bit as mischievous as I was, though these days she likes pretending she’s the responsible one. Don’t believe everything she tells you.

Vesna is a Vila, one of the six common types of Snowland Fae in Snezhnaya and part of the Druzhna. As the leader and commander of the organization, Vesna is considered the Tsaritsa's right hand and is often by her side. She belongs to the Vila (wind fairies), one of the six common Fae species native to Snezhnaya. Vesna is a member of the Druzhna and directly serves the Tsaritsa. While she acts sweet and innocent, like frequently debate whether her cheerful facade hides a deeper political agenda or Snezhnaya secrets. The Vila species was historically the first to stop paying tributes to the Volkodlaki at the request of Emperor Belyi. This defiance triggered a massive historical conflict known as the Fae War. Her mythological counterpart is locked in a constant battle with Morana (the goddess of winter and death). In Genshin Impact, this is reflected by her warm personality and Anemo element clashing with the eternal Cryo winter of Snezhnaya.
