Introduction
| “ | Whether it be over-focus or over-indulgence, though her actions have flaws, I acknowledge her sense of responsibility as Sumeru's deity. If even the youngest of gods can be thus, then by contrast...a certain hysterical fellow… | ” |
| — Chief Justice of FontaineNeuvillette | ||
"Lesser Lord Kusanali" dwells deep within the Sanctuary of Surasthana; she has never been given much attention, nor is she often mentioned.
She learns all kinds of knowledge without a moment's rest, only to grow into a qualified deity more quickly and begin guiding her people as soon as possible.
If not for the looming threat of "forbidden knowledge," would she not also wish to take a temporary rest and see the countless living beings of Sumeru with her own eyes?
For now, she can only behold the world's vibrant and magnificent sights within dreams.
In the pure land of the heart, she keeps company with the sunlight and the breeze, befriends humans and animals, tells stories, plays games, and sings songs she has just learned...
She poured all her most beautiful aspirations into her dreams, but no matter how boisterous the night was, whenever day arrived, silence would once again return to her side.
She rose slowly. In her bleary-eyed state, loneliness struck like a sudden cold wave, and she couldn't help but hug her shoulders tightly.
—What woke her up completely was a faint, unusual noise coming from the "Akasha."
"So it was... a dream within a dream..."
Character History
- Early Life
During the cataclysm of Khaenri'ah 500 years ago, the Sumeru deity "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata" sacrificed herself to heal the lesions of Irminsul. After absorbing the dreams of all Sumeru people, she successfully suppressed most of the forbidden knowledge eroding Irminsul, but she herself vanished after exhausting her power. The purest branch of Irminsul transformed into the newborn Dendro Archon, Buer. The Akademiya brought Buer back to Sumeru and named her "Lesser Lord Kusanali."
However, as the successor, "Lesser Lord Kusanali" possessed only child-like wisdom at the time, greatly disappointing the Sages who worshipped the wisdom-filled "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata." Furthermore, her Gnosis was removed to maintain the operation of the Akasha Terminals, leaving "Lesser Lord Kusanali" lacking the power of a deity. Consequently, neither the Akademiya nor the majority of Sumeru people influenced by them paid much attention to her existence, even failing to regard her as a god (to the extent of readmitting "The Doctor," who had been expelled from the Akademiya, just to create a new "God of Wisdom"). Gradually, the Sages began to
When the young Dunyarzad was suffering from Eleazar, "Lesser Lord Kusanali" once spoke with her through consciousness. Although she lacked the ability to cure Eleazar, she successfully encouraged Dunyarzad, helping her regain hope for life and becoming a loyal believer in "Lesser Lord Kusanali."
Some Akademiya scholars who lost their sanity during their research would be exiled to Aaru Village. These "mad scholars" were subsequently possessed by "Lesser Lord Kusanali," who used the Dendro Archon's power to protect Aaru Village, after which they would regain their composure. Since then, these "mad scholars" have been dubbed "Village Keepers" by the residents of Aaru Village.
- "Summertime Odyssey"
The Fatui scientist Persikov attempted to develop an energy machine by mimicking the Dendro Archon's authority over dreams. However, the machine went haywire, generating numerous illusions on the Golden Apple Archipelago. Nahida happened to discover an existence on the Golden Apple Archipelago similar to her own power, so she decided to observe and helped by making some "small designs."
After the Traveler experienced the illusions and attempted to contact Venti via the Dodocommunication Device he had given them, Nahida momentarily cut off the connection with Venti to hint to the Traveler that the origin of the illusions was essentially related to "deep dreams."
After the Traveler and their companions resolved the illusions on the Golden Apple Archipelago, Nahida communicated directly with the Traveler via telepathy, congratulating them while also expressing her envy of the Traveler and the others, telling the Traveler that they would surely meet again in the future. After the conversation ended, the Traveler saw a flash of Dendro energy.
- Chapter III: Act II "The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings"
On the day of the Sabzeruz Festival, Nahida visited the Grand Bazaar market using Katheryne's body as a medium through the Akasha Terminal.
The Traveler, Paimon, Dunyarzad, and others were trapped in
The Traveler's deduction of a "time loop" was denied by Nahida, so they brought Dunyarzad's protector, Dehya, to Nahida. Dehya sensed the real Dunyarzad lying on the sickbed through her intuition, which surprised Nahida (though Dehya still couldn't see Nahida at the time). Nahida informed everyone that the Akasha is powered by the Gnosis. Dehya suspected that everything was the work of the Sages, attempting to use the Akasha system to integrate the wisdom of all Sumeru people. However, even removing the Akasha Terminal did not stop the samsara. Nahida did not directly reveal the truth but continued to provide indirect guidance so that everyone could think more clearly amidst their joy.
The next day, the Traveler proposed the conclusion to Nahida that "everyone's memory is erased every day, leading them to mistakenly believe time is stuck on the Sabzeruz Festival." Nahida still denied this inference and suggested the Traveler ask Dehya again. As expected, Dehya negated this guess through her warrior's intuition.
The Traveler proposed "leaving the city" to Nahida, but the next day received a message from Nahida that the Traveler had left for "themselves"—it turned out the Traveler had already tried to leave the city two days prior, arranging for Paimon to stay behind to record all relevant memories, but the plan failed. The Traveler returned to Sumeru the next day having lost all memories of leaving. Nahida modified the Akasha Terminal so it could transmit information to any node. After leaving the city again, the Traveler recorded their experiences outside as messages: there were many spaces outside the city, and the Sabzeruz Festival space was just one of them. These strangely-sighted spaces were constantly being swallowed by a sun-like existence before the Traveler's eyes, only to reappear again.
Finally, the Traveler gave the answer: "It's not that the people of Sumeru don't dream, but that all dreams are being harvested by the Akasha." Nahida finally gave an affirmative response, telling the Traveler that the brain is most active when a person dreams, making dreams the collective assembly of human wisdom. The Akasha was forcing everyone to dream repeatedly, stripping away and harvesting those dreams. Once the truth was revealed, the Traveler also realized that Nahida is the current Dendro Archon of Sumeru, "Lesser Lord Kusanali."
On the day Nahida planned to reveal the way to break the cycle, Dunyarzad's primary consciousness disappeared because her spirit could no longer bear the burden of the samsara. Nahida felt regret for failing to save Dunyarzad's life, believing she was not qualified to be a deity. The Traveler and Paimon encouraged her. After pulling herself together, Nahida told the Traveler that the dream of the Sabzeruz Festival actually originated from one person's consciousness. The samsara could only be broken by finding that dreamer. Nahida decided to leave the city for a moment to pursue a slim possibility.
The Traveler eventually found the host of the dream—Nilou—and successfully broke the samsara of the Sabzeruz Festival. Upon returning to reality, the Traveler was surprised to find that Dunyarzad was still alive, and Nahida was by her side using Katheryne's body as a medium.
Nahida told the Traveler and Paimon that after leaving the city, she found Dunyarzad's fading dream among countless dream spaces and used all her strength to maintain its existence. Fortunately, the Traveler broke the samsara in time, saving Dunyarzad's weakened consciousness.
Because saving Dunyarzad consumed too much power, Nahida needed to hibernate for a period of time.
- Chapter III: Act III "Dreams, Emptiness, Deception"
Nahida spoke with the Traveler and Paimon again through Katheryne's body. Initially, she pretended to be Katheryne and assigned the Traveler many embarrassing tasks for the purpose of "observing humans."
To figure out the Akademiya's true purpose, Nahida and the Traveler discussed swaying Setaria, the Grand Sage's assistant, to make her face her inner conflict of not wanting to help the Akademiya while being complicit out of a desire for an academic environment. After learning about the personalities and speaking styles of several of Setaria's acquaintances, Nahida hoped the Traveler would possess them in her stead to evoke Setaria's guilt regarding her homeland and faith.
Through the Traveler's efforts, Setaria finally became willing to face the problem and assist in sabotaging the conspiracy of the Akademiya and the Sages. However, an exile of the Akademiya and a current member of the FatuiHarbinger "The Doctor"returned to Sumeru and infiltrated the interior of the Akademiya. He learned of Nahida and the others' plans through a listening device installed on Setaria. During the handover, he used the Akasha Terminals to manipulate the citizens of Sumeru City to besiege the Traveler. Nahida had to cover the Traveler's retreat, arranging to meet outside the city before staying behind alone to face "The Doctor." Nahida restored the consciousness of the citizens affected by hallucinations and successfully escaped using consciousness jumping just before the Doctor could control her consciousness as well, meeting at Pardis Dhyai with the Traveler who wanted to findTighnariher.
Inside Pardis Dhyai, the Traveler, Paimon, and Nahida encountered the scholar Haypasia, who claimed to have established consciousness communication with a god. However, what emerged through the consciousness connection with Haypasia wasHarbinger "The Balladeer"'s consciousness, leaving everyone confused. Subsequently, the Traveler and others were ambushed by members of the Corps of Thirty manipulated by "The Doctor." Nahida, possessing Katheryne's body, was unable to dodge in time and was pierced by a mercenary. In the moment of crisis, she urgently swapped consciousness with the Traveler, allowing the Traveler, whose consciousness briefly entered Nahida's body, to once again see "The Balladeer" in their consciousness, who was being assisted by the Akademiya to become an artificial god.
Tighnari arrived and assisted the Traveler and others in defeating the mercenaries and escaping, but Nahida was nowhere to be found. Before her consciousness was completely imprisoned, Nahida asked Tighnari to tell the Traveler that "The Doctor" had found a way to imprison consciousness. Nahida's consciousness was completely imprisoned by "The Doctor," and she would no longer be able to travel with the Traveler.
| “ | But even on a night without a "moon," the collective "starlight" is enough to pierce through "illusions" and "lies." | ” |
- Chapter III: Act V "Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises"
Following Nahida's suggestion, the Traveler headed to the desert region of Sumeru to find allies. Eventually, they successfully formed an alliance to rescue Nahida with Alhaitham, Cyno, and others, as well as the Eremites from the desert. After careful planning and cooperation, they finally took control of the Akademiya on the "Jnagarbha Day" while "The Doctor" was away from Sumeru, successfully awakening Nahida's consciousness and rescuing her.
After being freed from the Sanctuary of Surasthana, Nahida immediately modified the access permissions of the Akasha and headed to the Jour
Borrowing the power of two Gnoses, Nahida, the Traveler, and Paimon arrived at the location of Irminsul. There, they encountered the figure of "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata," who looked exactly like Nahida. Nahida learned her true identity and was told that to completely eradicate the erosion of the Abyss, the remaining consciousness of "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata" must be erased. The price for doing so isThe world will forget the existence of "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata". This is what Greater Lord Rukkhadevata left behind
| “ | 「LetTHE WORLD, completelyforget me." | ” |
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata encouraged Nahida to become a greater deity than herself. With tears in her eyes, Nahida erased Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's consciousness. The corruption of Irminsul was finally cleared, and the people of Sumeru finally regained their dreams, but Greater Lord Rukkhadevata also completely vanished from the memories of everyone except the Traveler.

After leaving Irminsul, the Traveler and Paimon were knocked unconscious by the "Doctor" using a hypnotic sound wave device. He revealed that the "Doctor" who left Sumeru was merely one of his segments, and it was the "Doctor's" most selfish and powerful segment standing before Nahida. At this time, Nahida was no match for the "Doctor," but she calmly used "destroying the Gnosis to awaken the 'Heavenly Principles'" as a bargaining chip to force the "Doctor" into an equal exchange, making him destroy all his segments in exchange for the Electro Gnosis. Subsequently, the "Doctor" exchanged some truths about the continent of Teyvat for the Dendro Gnosis.
After the incident ended, Nahida shut down the Akasha System and exiled Grand Sage Azar and others, who had imprisoned her and implemented the god-creation plan, to Avidya Forest, officially
- Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter: Act I "Lingering Warmth"
Sumeru people regained the ability to dream, and some organized an event called "Moment of Dreams" to exchange their dreams. The Traveler and Paimon were invited to participate and share their experiences, and Nahida also came to join after hearing about it.
However, during the event, those participating in "Moment of Dreams" all became delirious or even fell into a coma because of their dreams. Nahida and the Traveler entered the dreams of the comatose people to investigate and found that they had all met their missed deceased loved ones in their dreams and were unwilling to wake up. The culprit behind everything was a scholar named Moseis, who used the Akasha System to create a dream world, attempting to absorb others' intellect to create a perfect image of his deceased lover in the dream world and maintain its operation, while allowing those involved in the experiment to see their missed deceased loved ones in their dreams.
In the process of creating monsters to try and drive away Nahida and the others, Moseis's severe depletion of intellect caused chaos in the dream world, turning the images of everyone's missed loved ones into monsters, and the dream world was on the verge of collapse. After Nahida and the Traveler dealt with the monsters, she stored Moseis's consciousness in Canned Knowledge and brought it back to reality to face punishment. Before leaving the dream world, Nahida caught a glimpse of a meteor appearing in the sky.
After resolving the incident, the Traveler originally intended to tell Nahida about "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata," but after learning about Nahida's attitude toward the mysterious warm current she felt when entering the dream, they ultimately decided to respect the choice of Nahida and "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata."
- Interlude Chapter: Act III "Inversion of Genesis"
After defeating "The Balladeer," Nahida reached a deal with him: since his insight as a Fatui Harbinger would help in identifying important information, she allowed him to use his remaining power to search for information in Irminsul under the supervision of the Traveler and Paimon. While the Balladeer was searching for information, Nahida discussed him with the Traveler and Paimon through her consciousness.
The task given to "The Balladeer" was to investigate information about the "Descenders" and the Traveler's sibling, butAs expectedHe found nothing, but discovered memories of "The Doctor" murdering Niwa. These memories were obtained by Nahida while checking if The Doctor had destroyed all his segments. In reality, finding this information was Nahida's deliberate arrangement, allowing Scaramouche to learn the truth of the Tatarasuna incident: Niwa had not betrayed him; instead, all the disasters were caused by "The Doctor."
Upon learning the truth, "Scaramouche" used his remaining power to block Nahida's monitoring and asked the Traveler if history could be changed. Due to the Traveler's momentary hesitation, Scaramouche believed the answer was yes, so he attempted to delete himself from Irminsul to erase the original tragedy.
Nahida teleported the Traveler and Paimon to an inn. Subsequently, Paimon forgot Scaramouche during their conversation, and in the memories and records of everyone, including Nahida, there was no longer any mention of "Scaramouche" or the names "Kunikuzushi" and "Kabukimono." The deletion seemed successful. However, the Traveler visited Inazuma and found that the historical course and current situation of related events remained consistent with before; the tragic outcome had not changed, only that the records no longer specified the person involved or attributed the events to others.
Nahida had actually prepared in advance. On one hand, she had the Traveler, as a "Descender," monitor Scaramouche and record the true history. On the other hand, she had previously written a fairy tale containing layers of encrypted real information, serving as a metaphor for Scaramouche's life experiences. This story indeed escaped deletion. Shortly after, the Traveler returned from Inazuma, and with the Traveler's prompting, Nahida found this fairy tale in Irminsul and regained knowledge of Scaramouche's past.
The Traveler met the "Wanderer," who had lost his memories and was pure and innocent, in Sumeru City and brought him to the Sanctuary of Surasthana. At the Wanderer's request, Nahida showed him the sins committed by his "past life"—Scaramouche—through a dream. Witnessing this past, the Wanderer resolved to bear his rightful sins and asked Nahida to restore his memories. The restored Wanderer obtained a Vision in the dream and defeated Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal. After emerging from the dream, the Wanderer deduced that Nahida intended to use him. Nahida admitted it but said the most important thing was for Scaramouche to know the truth, which was the difference between her and The Doctor.Through Nahida's talk therapy,The Wanderer decided to leave the Fatui and stand on the side of Nahida and the Traveler as an assistant in the shadows. At Nahida's suggestion, he asked the Traveler to give him a new name.
After that, Nahida handled the enrollment for the Wanderer under the name "Hat Guy" in the Vahumana Darshan, making him a nominal student of Vahumana.
- Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter: Act II - "Homecoming"
The Traveler and Paimon happened to meet Nahida at the gates of Sumeru City. After saving Irminsul, some blurred fragments existed in Nahida's memory, including a very important matter. Therefore, she was looking for clues. After the Traveler and Paimon offered to help, Nahida took out a Dendro crystal she found in the Sanctuary of Surasthana, believing the elemental power within it was similar to her own and might be a clue to her blurred memories.
During the conversation, a Floating Hydro Fungus suddenly approached, wanting Nahida and the others to go with it. After following it, they found a sick Fungus (when following the Fungus, using Nahida's Elemental Skill to read their minds reveals Nahida's own inner voice). After examination, it was discovered that this Fungus was not an ordinary monster but an elemental being composed of elemental power with the appearance of a Fungus. Nahida had never seen such a creature before. After repairing the void in its body that caused an elemental blockage, the Floating Hydro Fungus elemental lifeform actually spoke to Nahida and the others, claiming to come from an ancient race. This once-happy race was affected and invaded by the power of forbidden knowledge during a desert disaster, mutating into victims of the apocalypse and the apocalypse itself. Some individuals fled to the rainforest and learned the culture of other creatures to find a way to save their home, eventually evolving into the form of Fungi—the creatures best adapted to this land. After Nahida eradicated the source of Irminsul's illness and eliminated all forbidden knowledge, the elemental lifeform's homeland seemed to be saved, but this also caused the parts of their bodies contaminated by forbidden knowledge to disappear, creating voids. They forgot where their home was and could not find their other kin. Nahida then commissioned the Aranara and some children to help them find their kin. The elemental lifeform believed the Dendro Archon was indeed the one prophesied to lead them home after the disaster ended.
The elemental lifeform led Nahida and the others to the final destination of its kin after death—the Withering Zone. It mentioned that after their race died from the erosion of forbidden knowledge, they would turn into Withering Tumors that continued to spread disaster. After clearing the Withering Zone, the elemental lifeform recovered the elemental power of the last kin it knew. Nahida also received news from the Aranara and found another kin of the elemental lifeform. This kin, mimicking a Floating Anemo Fungus, was surrounded by other Fungus companions. To avoid hurting its Fungus family or alerting them and causing a battle, Nahida borrowed the knowledge of turning into a Fungus from the elemental lifeform, mimicking the appearance of a Fungus herself and successfully approaching the unconscious elemental lifeform to heal the void in its body (during the stealth period, she also acts cute using Fungus language). The awakened Floating Anemo Fungus elemental lifeform still remembered where its home was—right inside the Dendro DragonApep's body.
Nahida suddenly realized—according to what the elemental lifeforms said, Apep might also have been contaminated by forbidden knowledge. Due to Apep's powerful adaptability, it might have completely merged with the forbidden knowledge by now. Eliminating all forbidden knowledge in this situation would cause numerous voids in Apep's body and lead to a massive leak of Dendro elemental power, causing the rainforest to overgrow. Nahida also remembered the important mission she had forgotten—to save Apep. After notifying the Aranara to continue searching for the elemental lifeform's kin and receiving thanks from the Fungi, Nahida and the others helped the Fungi tend to their fields and drive away invading Whopperflowers. During this time, Nahida told the Traveler and Paimon the story of the Dendro Dragon, Apep.
Nahida learns from an elemental lifeform that the one who gave the prophecy went to the deepest part of The Chasm. She travels there and reaches the Skyfrost Nail at the bottom. She explains that all power not belonging to Teyvat will be transformed into another form by the light of the Skyfrost Nail; thus, the mud in The Chasm is what Forbidden Knowledge became after being exposed to it. After clearing the surrounding mud, Nahida and the others find a Grounded Geoshroom elemental lifeform. However, due to being soaked in the mud for too long, its erosion by Forbidden Knowledge is severe. Nahida wants to use her own power to eliminate the Forbidden Knowledge, but is stopped by the Traveler who is worried about her. Ultimately, the Traveler uses the power of the Dendro crystal to treat the Grounded Geoshroom elemental lifeform. Upon waking, the elemental lifeform states it was protected by the Dendro King (Greater Lord Rukkhadevata) and came to the Skyfrost Nail to convert Forbidden Knowledge into a more stable form to preserve relatively stable memories during the apocalypse. It also reveals that the Dendro crystal is a "Seed of Fire" co-created by the Dendro King (Greater Lord Rukkhadevata) and their race, simulating the operation of the Grass Dragon's Heart of Oasis. As long as the Seed of Fire is used to reactivate Apep's Heart of Oasis, Apep can be restored. After thanking Nahida, the Grounded Geoshroom elemental lifeform turns back into an Ooze Spouting Forth due to severe erosion. After the Traveler clears the mud, the Floating Hydro Fungus elemental lifeform reclaims its elemental power.
Following the guidance of the Seed of Fire, Nahida and the others find Apep. However, Apep refuses to be saved by Nahida, believing she will eventually repeat the same mistakes as King Deshret; even if Nahida saves her, she will not be grateful. Subsequently, the elemental lifeforms' kin—the Proliferating Lifeforms—appear. They have become distorted in appearance to adapt to the post-apocalyptic environment. Nahida risks the Seed of Fire becoming unstable to use its power to restore the distorted Proliferating Lifeforms into elemental power. The Floating Hydro Fungus elemental lifeform, carrying the elemental power, evolves into a Grounded Hydro Shroom elemental lifeform.
Nahida arrives at the garden of Apep's palace and conveys her wish for Apep to set aside past prejudices and face the safety of the subjects within her body. After hearing this, Apep swallows Nahida and the others into her body. Nahida uses the power of the Seed of Fire again to protect everyone from the air currents. After entering Apep's body, Nahida and Paimon are separated from the Traveler, and the Seed of Fire shatters. Nahida decides to use her own power to become a new Seed of Fire, but the cost would be her regressing in growth again. Just as Nahida is about to sacrifice herself, the Traveler and the elemental lifeforms arrive. The
After restoring Apep's Heart of Oasis and defeating the Guardian of Apep's Oasis within, Apep regained health and felt a long-lost peace. Although still unwilling to coexist peacefully with the Archons, Apep promised to keep watching over the humans and gods favored by the Heavenly Principles, while also revealing the reason for being polluted by forbidden knowledge.
After leaving Apep's body, Nahida and the others found the Fungal spawn of the elemental life—Nur, and told him everything. Nur was able to speak due to his elemental lifeblood, and Nahida believed they would meet again one day.
- "A Parade of Providence"
Arranged for the Wanderer to participate in this Interdarshan Championship as the representative of Vahumana, but in reality, assigned him to secretly investigate those with ill intentions toward the sponsor Sachin, and to monitor the competition to prevent chaos that might be caused by the knowledge within the "Diadem of Knowledge."
After the competition, Nahida and the Wanderer came to retrieve data related to the "Diadem of Knowledge" and met the Traveler and Paimon. Nahida hoped that the Wanderer, who had experienced despair and betrayal many times, would stay in Vahumana to eventually find a way to overcome the darkness of human nature and transcend despair, and Nahida would personally review the Wanderer's "thesis."
- Carassius Auratus Chapter: Act II "Star-Pickers' Journey"
The Traveler and Paimon brought Yoimiya, who wanted to see a meteor shower, to Sumeru for a visit. While visiting the Akademiya on Yoimiya's behalf to inquire about meteor shower information, Nahida, who was there to see scholars, happened to appear and helplessly told them that it would likely be a long time before the next meteor shower. Seeing their disappointment at being unable to help Yoimiya see the meteor shower, Nahida suggested using a white lie for Yoimiya, making up a story about seeing a meteor shower through effort, and after working together with her, Nahida would create a meteor shower for her in a dream.
- "The Mystery of the Strange Book"
Nahida realized the existence of the previous Archon while reading "Deduction Happens Day and Night, but Suspense Always Follows a Blizzard."
- "Chromarose and Candied Celebration"
Nahida's birthday was approaching again. To compensate for the previous persecution of Nahida, the Akademiya decided to hold the Sabzeruz Festival with unprecedented seriousness. Tighnari, Collei, Candace, Dehya, and others were secretly planning a surprise for Nahida. Just then, the Traveler and Paimon also returned to Sumeru to participate in the Sabzeruz Festival, so they joined the ranks of those preparing the surprise for Nahida.
The next day, while everyone was discussing the surprise for Nahida at Port Ormos, Nahida happened to come to Port Ormos for shopping. After running into them, she asked what they were talking about. Faruzan and Kaveh pretended to be discussing architectural design issues. Nahida continued to press, saying she was willing to help. Fortunately, Nilou passed by just in time and, at the Traveler's silent plea for help, pulled Nahida away to the Zubayr Theater to watch the rehearsal of the Dance of Sabzeruz.
Before the Sabzeruz Festival, Candace, Sethos, and others found the gemstone "Eye of Ujat," which was originally given to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata by King Deshret (Al-Ahmar), but was changed to be a gift for Lesser Lord Kusanali because Rukkhadevata's existence was erased. It contained memories belonging to King Deshret, the Goddess of Flowers, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. After much thought, the Traveler believed this gift would make Nahida sad and decided not to give this sorrowful gift to Nahida on such a happy day, but instead entrusted it to Sethos's Temple of Silence for safekeeping.
On the day of the Sabzeruz Festival, Nahida walked out of the House of Daena and felt that everyone was avoiding her for some reason, so she decided to ask them properly after the festival. As Nahida was about to board the flower carriage, Paimon and the Traveler, dressed as the Knight of Flowers, walked up to her, took her hand, and invited her to board the carriage together. The carriage bumped along, and during the procession, Candace, who was playing music, andPariSorushNilou, who learned the earlier version of the Dance of Sabzeruz under the guidance of [Sorush], and the Traveler, acting as the Knight of Flowers, escorted Nahida. Meanwhile, under the careful design of Kaveh and others, the candy tower collided with Nahida's flower carriage, causing a large amount of candy to flutter through the streets like flower petals. Feeling the surprise everyone had carefully prepared, Nahida also brought a surprise of her own as a return gift: a large number of Aranara appeared, bringing a beautiful dream to everyone present. The Sabzeruz Festival concluded successfully in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
After the Sabzeruz Festival concluded, everyone celebrated at Pardis Dhyai. Nahida asked Sorush if the Pari had any thoughts of moving to Sumeru City, but Sorush politely declined, citing the Pari's ongoing responsibilities. Nahida suggested to the Traveler the possibility that everything they experienced might just be a beautiful dream. The Traveler expressed that they would make this "dream" last forever, so that it would still bring happiness even upon waking. Thus, all the Sumeru friends presentexcept for Dori and Layla, who was catching up on sleep after finishing her thesis,took a group photo together with Nahida at the center.

Additionally, Klee's title is "Fleeing Sunlight," while Nahida refers to herself as the "Moon" in the story. There is even an achievement in the game called "_Grassy Blaster, Overly Hot Flower”.
- The Japanese voice actor is the same asQiqiare both byYukari Tamura, which gave rise to the "Plants vs. Zombies" meme.Therefore, Yukari Tamura also became the first voice actress to voice multiple playable characters in the Japanese dub of "Genshin Impact".
- Also, both the Chinese and Japanese voice actors are the same as those in the neighboring game "Honkai Impact 3rd》There-
sa（ ）'s voice actors, which led to the creation of "Wisdom" Nahida memes. Combined with the definition of Sumeru in the story PV "Travail"—"Wisdom is the enemy of the God of Wisdom"—it becomes even more hilarious.
- Mysterious Girl
- Although she appeared in the Sumeru Preview PV3 and was called a "mysterious girl," many players had already deduced Nahida's true identity as the Dendro Archon through the common characteristics of the three Archons who had already appeared (gradient hair). Thus, the fleeting appearance of Nahida instantly garnered a large amount of fan art.
- Character Design
- Eternal Loli: Even as the youngest of The Seven, she is already over 500 years old. To be precise, Nahida should beEternal Lrather thanLegal Loli(Ten thousand is just a figurative number, indicating an age far higher than that of ordinary people).Therefore, many "Travelers" (pun on serving a sentence) use this as a reason to treat Nahida as their "waifu."
- Shuttlecock: The cloak on Nahida's back is divided into three segments, looking very much like a shuttlecock from behind.It was particularly comical when Shouki no Kami picked up this cloak in Version 3.2.
- Master of Metaphors: Nahida uses a lot of metaphors in the story to describe things (such as comparing a Pyro Crystalfly to a "bird with its feathers plucked"), and she also expressed appreciation forDehyathe metaphors of (Giant Brain) and Paimon (Dream Factory).
- Stirrup Socks: Nahidaonly wearing stirrup socks's semi-barefoot design makes many
Traveler（ ）Very much loved, with many expressing a desire to be stepped onWhat a bunch of perverts~- Since Nahida's Normal Attacks have a special effect where flowers grow near her feet, this behavior is jokingly referred to as "growing Padisarahs in one's mouth."[7]
- Actually, there is one moreSumeru characterwho only wears stirrup socks without shoes, but due to
various reasons（ ）so presumably no one dares to lick them.
- Going to the bathroom
- In the plot of Archon Quest Chapter III, Nahida once said, "Go take a good rest. Maybe go to the bathroom and flush your anxiety away?" and "Hmm? People say that they feel refreshed after going to the bathroom, so I'm just recommending it to you. Is it that strange?" Compared to Nahida's steady and mysterious persona, this line
has too much of a contrast（ ）, which surprised the Traveler, Paimon, and players outside the game alike, leading to a series of memes.Beautiful girls don't go to the bathroom!However, there are no toilets in Teyvat at all.Perhaps there is a hidden meaning, as it is said that going to the bathroom in a dream leads to wetting the bed in reality.- Some players also believe this isBreaking the fourth wallbehavior, an official meta-joke about the Archon Quest Chapter III being too long, and a tease for players who are too busy doing quests to go to the bathroom.
- After exiting the Sanctuary of Surasthana near the end of Interlude Chapter Act III, if you return to the Sanctuary, you will find Nahida and talk to her, and she will once again advise you to go to the bathroom.
- In the plot of Archon Quest Chapter III, Nahida once said, "Go take a good rest. Maybe go to the bathroom and flush your anxiety away?" and "Hmm? People say that they feel refreshed after going to the bathroom, so I'm just recommending it to you. Is it that strange?" Compared to Nahida's steady and mysterious persona, this line
- The flower carriage rocked back and forth
Main article:Genshin Impact/Memes and Terminology#The flower carriage rocked back and forth- Nahida's Character Teaser "Happy Birthday" consists of four stanzas of a nursery rhyme, each starting with "The flower carriage rocked back and forth, Nahida opened her eyes." Combined with the teaser's "rising action after suppression" visuals, it resonated strongly with viewers. Various short essays starting with "The flower carriage rocked back and forth" and themed around overthrowing the Akademiya appeared online, thus becoming a meme.

Voice Lines
| Condition | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| First Meeting... | I've been watching you for a long time. My name is Nahida. I might look like a child, but don't let that fool you: I understand this world better than any grown-up. So, can I trade my knowledge for the stories of your travels? |
| Chat: Invitation | If you're not sure what to do, how about I take you for a walk? |
| Chat: Worries | Something on your mind again? Let's think it through together. |
| Chat: Feelings | As I thought, you have to see the world with your own eyes to truly appreciate its beauty. |
| When It Rains... | Go find some shelter from the rain, or mushrooms might start growing on your head. |
| When it thunders... | Did you know? Thunder is the prelude to life. Soon, this land will be brimming with vitality. |
| When it snows... | Can you hear that? The sky is whispering to all living things: "It's time to sleep now." |
| The sunlight is lovely... | The weather is wonderful and warm. Things around us will soon become quite lively. |
| When the wind blows... | The wind doesn't blow inside the palace... Oh, sorry, that's common knowledge to you, isn't it? |
| Good morning... | Good morning. Let's set off quickly. There are so many things in this world that "won't wait for those who are late." |
| Good afternoon... | It's time for a midday break. I'd like a Berry & Mint Burst. How about I trade you two stories about the sun for it? |
| Good evening... | The sun has set. It's time for us to leave the stage to the nocturnal creatures. |
| Good night... | Go to sleep now. Don't worry, I've already prepared a sweet dream for you. |
| About Nahida: Knowledge | The Mare Jivari... it's a place where nothing exists, as empty as a Shroomboar's brain. Of course I know that. Huh? I... I haven't actually seen it with my own eyes; it's a place beyond even my reach. |
| About Nahida: Fascination | Gods only gave humans the knowledge to fill their bellies, yet humans used it to craft tools, create writing, expand city-states, and now they look toward the stars and the abyss... They are creating brand-new "knowledge" every moment, and I find myself unable to look away. |
| About Us: Storytelling | The things you've seen on your journey are far more wonderful than the knowledge I've learned, and I can ask questions at any time to understand every detail clearly... It's so satisfying. Alright, alright, let's not waste time, let's continue. |
| About Us: Travel | I've long since ceased to be satisfied with being just a listener; I've always wanted to go out and see for myself. Since you have so much adventure experience, would you be my guide? I want to experience all your future stories firsthand. |
| About the Vision... | The sky grew eyes to witness the beauty of the earth, but under what circumstances do humans, who already possess eyes, need to rely on a "Vision" to observe this world? Do you, being so clever, understand the answer to this question? |
| Something to share... | Oftentimes, we don't look directly at our own laziness, ignorance, recklessness, or arrogance until we experience piercing pain. But there's no need for regret; we cannot observe all future possibilities, so we can only acquire knowledge through such slightly clumsy methods. It's just tuition, perfectly normal. |
| Interesting Sights: Unseen Flowers | Sumeru's desert looks less vibrant than the rainforest, but it also carries an ancient civilization and nurtures a stable ecosystem. One day, when it's no longer at odds with the rainforest, it will surely bloom with flowers I've never seen before. |
| regardingCynoAbout Cyno: Jokes | The jokes he tells are indeed profound and quite interesting. Hmm? Was there a part you didn't understand? Then let me explain it to you. |
| About Cyno: Duty | When facing a conflict between order and justice, not every "General Mahamatra" can arrive at an absolutely firm answer. He likely knows best that the only result of compromise is having nowhere left to retreat, so the fact that he can now return to his rightful position is a great blessing for all of Sumeru. |
| regardingTighnari… | The rainforest is able to resist the erosion of "The Withering" and remains vibrant to this day; the contributions of the Forest Watchers are significant, and Tighnari is the best among them. It's just... I hope he can be a little gentler, as that would be more conducive to recruiting new talent for the Forest Rangers. |
| regardingCollei… | I've heard her story; her resilience is as dazzling as a gemstone. She has been through so much; I hope Sumeru's greenery can protect her for a long time, allowing her to grow up healthy like an ordinary girl. |
| regardingAlhaitham… | He possesses a very advanced knowledge system and is thinking at every moment; perhaps nothing in this world can be hidden from him. However, for the wise, is the mediocrity of ordinary people an innate fault? That is an inseparable part of "us." |
| regardingNilou… | I once borrowed someone else's body and asked her if she wanted Lesser Lord Kusanali to come and see her dance... Although I've already watched it secretly many times, logically speaking, I should be there in person for it to count as respect for her "Sabzeruz Festival" performance. In the end, I was politely declined... Hmm, I'm a little sad. |
| regardingDori… | The first thing she said when she saw me was, "I've taken a liking to your palace. How much for it?" How could the Sanctuary of Surasthana possibly be for sale? But her question really stumped me. I thought about it for a long time and still don't know how many Mora the Sanctuary of Surasthana should be priced at... |
| regardingKaveh… | His understanding of the promotion of wisdom in Sumeru is already very close to the essence. It's a pity that the truth he holds cannot become the mainstream of this nation. What? You say he and Alhaitham are roommates? To think such a possibility actually exists in this world... |
| regardingFaruzan… | Her body was affected by the residual power within the ruins of King Deshret, as if she were accidentally tossed off the back of time, that great tortoise, and forgotten forever. If you're interested, you should be able to catch a glimpse of Sumeru's past through her. |
| About The Seven: Introductions | It seems that The Seven used to contact each other regularly a long, long time ago, but my situation is a bit special, and I no longer remember those experiences... Now that the chaos in Sumeru has come to an end, I feel I should meet them again. Could you introduce me to the deities you're familiar with? |
| About The Seven: Games | I've heard that playing games can quickly shorten the distance between people. It must be the same for gods. How about, after we all gather, I take the initiative to suggest playing "hopscotch"... though that might not be appropriate. It would be as if I made the doorway into a tiny hole and took advantage of my size to bully everyone. |
| regardingScaramouche… | When the wish he thought he had been pursuing for so long was finally realized, what did he see in his eyes—satisfaction, or an even greater emptiness? It is precisely because we cannot fly that we yearn for the sky so much... Let him think it over well, after having embraced the empty sky. |
| regardingFurina… | People often say that wisdom is not determined by what one knows, but by what one can change. Without a doubt, that "prophecy" had long been inscribed within Irminsul... It seems as though nothing has changed, yet it feels as though everything has. You and I both know that she is someone clever enough to overturn the fate of the world. |
| regardingMualani… | The Abyss manifests in Teyvat in its most lethal forms—in Sumeru it was "forbidden knowledge," while in Natlan it is monsters. Because of this, much of Sumeru's experience couldn't help her, for which I feel a bit guilty. Fortunately, the crisis has now been resolved. She said many people from Natlan will come to Sumeru for a visit. I welcome them and am already well-prepared |
| About Nahida: I | My past is quite monotonous. I expect you'd start yawning like a pufferfish sucking in water after listening for a while. But curiosity is a precious thing, and I don't want to waste it... In that case, I'll share some of the dreams I've had with you. |
| About Nahida: II | A flowerpot always appears in my dreams, and every time I water and fertilize it, the same flower grows. Can you still enjoy the process of growing flowers when the harvest is completely certain? Hehe, for me, at least the butterflies that fly by after each bloom have different colors, and sometimes there are even bees. |
| More About Nahida: III | An hourglass always appears in my dreams. I like to add a little water to it, stir it well, and see how long it takes to run out, and how much it differs from the last time. There's no pattern, and no meaning, but it takes away the fatigue accumulated in my brain. I think "nothingness" is exactly where the fun lies. |
| More About Nahida: IV | An empty space always appears in my dreams. No matter how the surrounding scenery changes, it always occupies the most important position. It's quite strange, isn't it? I feel like something should have existed here once, but even when I use my power over dreams, I can't get an answer. Hmm, to think there are things even in dreams that I cannot control... |
| More About Nahida: V | My dreams have everything, except for people coming and going. But after meeting you, it has gradually become livelier. Perhaps you play the role of a "guide" in my dreams, not only making my dreams more human but also leading me out of my cage. Hehe, let's go. Please continue to lead the way for the rest of our journey. |
| Nahida's Hobbies... | Does just watching you like this count as a hobby? Because every move you make makes me very curious. As a traveler of worlds, where you come from, where you are going, who you will meet, and what difficulties you will overcome are all answers I seek. You don't need to mind me too much; just let me keep observing you. |
| Nahida's Troubles... | I consider myself good at asking and answering questions, but I've gradually come to realize that many people are feigning ignorance while knowing the truth, and the answers to their questions don't help them. Is it that as people get older, they lose the courage to face questioning and answers... |
| Favorite Food... | Candied Ajilenakh Nuts, of course. Just eating a small piece makes my brain work at lightning speed, and there's no problem that can't be solved. The only thing to be careful of is that the jar of sweets shouldn't be placed somewhere too easy to reach. |
| Least Favorite Food... | Those seafood dishes... they are born in endless darkness and grow up in the depths of the ocean that I don't understand. Asking me to eat them is like asking me to swallow a mass of dirty dark clouds. |
| Receiving a Gift: I | Such a wonderful taste should be permanently recorded by the world. Thank you. |
| Receiving a Gift: II | Hehe, I've received your kind intentions, and the taste is also quite commendable. |
| Receiving a Gift: III | ...How should I put it? To use an analogy, you wouldn't give a dog vegetable juice, would you? |
| Birthday... | I've been thinking, to celebrate your birthday, it should be at least as grand as the "Sabzeruz Festival"... Eh? Is that too much? But I've already had everything prepared. Let's go, let's go! Even if it's just this once, I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied! |
| Feelings About Ascension: Intro | Getting smarter~ |
| Feelings About Ascension: Building Up | My thoughts have become broader, enough to hold the sky and the sea. |
| Feelings About Ascension: Climax | This feeling is like a Nilotpala Lotus finding its leaf, or a Sango Pearl finding its shell. |
| Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion | Thank you for being willing to let me be your companion and for teaching me so much new knowledge. I bless you in the name of the God of Wisdom; from now on, no confusion shall hinder your journey. |
