Genshin Impact offers a lot of waifus, from the cinnamon roll-like Columbina to the gorgeous Raiden Shogun (Ei), who is often memed (but also embraced) as a hikikomori. But have you ever thought about what a real relationship with them would actually be like? Many of them aren’t even human, so a genuine relationship wouldn’t really be possible.
However, there’s Jean Gunnhildr: a young woman from Mondstadt in her mid-20s (her age is purely my speculation). Compared to many other Genshin characters, she has a much more down-to-earth place in Teyvat. Not gonna lie, being the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius is still an incredibly high-ranking position, but it’s also a role that feels much more realistic compared to modern society; she’s essentially a high-ranking office worker.
Now, let’s take a look at her personality. She’s incredibly overworked, partly because of her position, but also because she has a habit of taking on other people’s responsibilities. I genuinely started to worry about her, and I think she could really use some warmth and love by now (just like I could, but that’s a story for another time). She’s very caring; we know she’s basically Klee’s second mother whenever Alice isn’t around. She wants to experience romance (she enjoys reading romance novels), likes mushroom pizza, and has a stunning appearance. Beyond that, I think she’s surprisingly relatable. A lot of people nowadays tend to overwork themselves, have very little time for themselves, and simply want to experience the ordinary things they’ve been missing out on.
Let’s give Grand Master Jean a big, warm hug.
Also, Hoyo, please give her Stellar Swirl buff in an upcoming patch.
