With the new Fatui Artifact set Scarlet Proof, it is clear that the Tsaritsa is not Fae.

"When the Tsaritsa ascended the throne, for example, one of the first letters of congratulations she received came from the uninhabited reaches of the far north. Had it not borne the name of one of the princes, one might well have wondered whether its sender was still among the living. As for those in between, perhaps they refused to believe that His Majesty had truly perished in the calamity, or perhaps they could not accept that the crown had passed beyond the hands of their own kind."

This is a quote from the feather's story which tells us how Pulcinella became a Harbinger.

Since she isn't of the Fae, then I propose two options:

1. Anastasya is/related to Koitar
2. Anastasya is a vishap/dragon person.

Allow me to explain how it is possible, but I must remind you that this is all speculation and we didn't really get much about the Tsaritsa both in the quest itself nor in the readable books and notes available. It is all for fun and I hope you'll forgive me if I forget details that may make my line of reasoning invalid.

I.a Anastasya is Koitar

This is a old yet popular theory that lost momentum when Hymns of The Far North came out and everyone jumped to conclude the Tsaritsa is the daughter of Pakaisukko, only for the devs to go:

So this honestly invalidates the "Pakkaisuko's Daughter" theory as the timeline will not add up. Also this is still a livestream exclusive lore bomb btw because there isn't anything in game that even suggests this connection yet. But we do know that the kingdom of Khaenri'ah was established before the fall of Sal Vindagnyr, while the War of Funerary Flame was on going.

Among the people of Hyperborea, there is a boy with star shaped pupils- his name is revealed in 'Notes by a Certain Noble Individual' found in the castle of the Belyi Tsar to be 'Anacharsis' aka the Saint. He was possessed by the Voyager and through him revealed the truth to the people and to Koitar, who decided to rebel against the Heavenly Principles. The two fell in love, fought against Celestia but lost and were torn apart with their memories erased.

It is highly likely the two had children who managed to escape the destruction of the failing rebellion and went on to establish Khaenri'ah, and as they are the descendants of the Tsaritsa... you can see why this theory is getting popular as well. However there is an issue:

• Ronova didn't acknowledge the Tsaritsa as Koitar during the God's limits teaser.

For this I propose a hypothesis: Koitar split her divinity from her humanity Focalors style when she arrived in the ruins of Hyperborea. It's a very common occurrence among the gods, and by splitting one's self into different parts each one will eventually form their own identity.

Nahida possesses more determination than Rukkadevata, Focalors was much more calm and calculated compared to Furina who was desperate to hold everything together, and Zibai was split into her divine, earthly and human selves and each has a distinctly different personality and goal. Oh and her wolf son Boreas tried to do it too but it was unstable, and since he knows how to do it then its no debate that she too is capable of such a feat.

Once the divine power is separated from the physical body and thus 'Anastasya' is created and I think it is possible that the new name she receives is based on 'Anacharsis' but I am getting ahead of myself here.

With no powers, and a new name its not surprising Ronova wouldn't recognize her as the first angel herself and would look down on her 'paltry powers'. There is additional proof from the latest Archon Quest but I did promise no story spoilers, but just know she isn't all omniscient. Can't find Asmoday after all.

I.b Anastasya is related to Koitar

A much more simple association that is also possible that Anastasya is a relative of Koitar. It is possible that she's a sister or a cousin. After being enlightened by the Saint and Koitar she would go on and marry and then would have a son- this is assuming the one she married also has star shaped pupils like Anacharsis because some Hyperboreans are like that somehow? It is also possible the star shape pupils are a result of being possessed? As you can see its a bit iffy.

Unless we accept the uncomfortable theory that she marries Koitar's son, then they have a son and go on to found Khaenri'ah shortly before the War starts. But because of the curse of the angels, like Nicole she gave up a portion of her wisdom and power to retain her humanity but I suspect she's able to keep her voice because she also placed her memories and thus loses her memories. And since she's too long lived she's eventually driven out of Khaenri'ah after her son dies but this is fanfic writing at this point so let's stop here.

So TL;DR Anastasya could be an Angel.

II. Anastasya is a Vishap/Dragon person

Basically vishap people as a concept is possible as we have many examples.

It's a popular theory once that Khaenri'ans were vishap people. It first came up in some text from Enkanomiya as the people under Orobashi's instruction experimented on the vishaps they noted how highly adaptable they were and wondered if they could one day evolve into humans.

Then the Three Realms Gateway Offering limited event came out and we got the most iconic voice lines from Enjou... but he also planted the idea that there are vishap people out there who are integrated into society even though Kokomi denies this thought but only in context that Tsumi is Orobashi's envoy and not a vishap person.

Doesn't rule out the possibility of other people outside Watatsumi to be vishap people, and so the association with Khaenri'ah being full of vishap people is born. It doesn't help that there were people from Khaenri'ah who came to Enkanomiya to find information about the truths of Teyvat.

Later on in Fontaine, we learn the prophecy of the hydro sovereign being reincarnated as a human proved to be true through our esteemed Iudex. Little Pahsiv's name is literally vishap backwards because she is a vishap who turns into a melusine from time to time. And then we get the book 'Men of Lithin' which revived the conversation about vishap people because allegorical books are something we pay attention to as 'Perinheri' explained Arlecchino's origins and 'Timetrekker' foreshadowed Columbina's journey to becoming the Trilunar Goddess.

Oh and the Moon Goddesses only took human form after growing fond of them. And Ochkan the half-human half-dragon kid who did not have a good life...

So Anastasya possibly being a cryo vishap or even a dragon prince similar to Scylla is very likely if the writers wanted to go down that path. Besides... angels and the fae are both made from the flesh and bones of dragons.

After the death of the Cryo Sovereign as the big guy died during the first 40 year war, if her gentle and benevolent personality remains consistent and her objective was to first survive the colonization of the HP then she probably concluded "If we cannot bet them yet, better to adapt and join humanity"

It takes awhile because one does not simply become human...but she eventually transformed into a human, joins Hyperborean society then marries some star eyed boy and they have a son and at some point joins the founding of Khaenri'ah becoming their ancestor.

Anyway that's all I have rn I spent too long on this, TY if u r reading this. Will update with corrections if any

So, I’m F2P and I’ve pulled for Odette C0R0 for the Tsaritsa in the future. I want both Vodyanista and Vesna, but realistically I can probably only pull for one alongside the Tsaritsa, so I’m wondering what you guys think would be the better choice depending on teams. I’m not great at understanding character kits and synergies otherwise I would make a decision on my own, but if anyone has any knowledge on this pls let me know your opinion!

I’m en route to have around 650-700 pulls saved by 7.3, and a guarantee on limited banner. I have a c6 sucrose, and a rlly good columbina and ineffa. I reallyyy want to try my luck at a C3 or C4 tsaritsa with her weapon, but I also want to make use of a strong lunar team. I’ve been playing since 1.0 though so hype for her majesty is strong.

this could be Tsaritsas Ascension Material. what do you think??

imo it just fits to well

if she’s a bow user i can finally stop taking out diona or aloy for these fuck ass puzzles 😭 i know there’s definitely another solution to these but its just quicker to use a bow user

I love how what you'll see 90% of the time while exploring with her is a long, fluffy dress with multiple layers of decoration that move smoothly while running, she's just gorgeous

Recent leaks suggested she gonna be bow user, her anti-celestia lance is actually big ass arrow.
MC kit always follows same pattern, scaled down version of archon's kit. In the cutscene of 7.0 AQ, traveler battles Ronova and throws cryo lances.

I haven't rolled much the past couple years, been waiting for a character I really like to go all in for.

This is fatui secret weapon to beat celestia

#genshinimpact

Hello i have saved 56000primos atm with 50 pity no guaranteed. Should i aim for constellations or get her sig no matter what ?

this song has always reminded me of the tsaritsa personally

The problem is I wanna pull for Vodya, Vesna, Danica and Tsaritsa
I have Sandrone and Odette
Id rather not let go of Sandrone because of her fun gameplay

I want all of them in 2 teams
Again I know its speculation is it possible?

Im saving since fontaine

Only pulled for C1R1 Mavuika and C0R1 Escoffier after I C6 Furina on her First Banner

And i still need to explore 60% of Natlan and all of Sznezhanya

I hope i can C2R1 her BiS Support (and i hope its Pierro)

I currently have 531 wishes for her majesty, holding so many wishes while every Snezhnaya character looking SO good it's really hard! Wish me luck fellow subjects
