^^Shenhe is one of Cloud Retainers disciples and comes from a clan of exorcists and her sprite was leaked since a long while but everyone believed that she got scrapped for Eula instead
Have already seen tons of artwork and even getting shipped with Ganyu or being her childhood friend (which is funny bcs i doubt Shenhe is an adeptus)

^Yup Shenhe is not an adepti, she's just believe to be one because of her compatibility (was it?) with adepti arts

We don't know if shenhe is actually cloud retainer. voice lines from xiao and others are locked behind quests. Perhaps she is cloud retainer but just a separate persona.

^see official preview linked above. She's explicitly stated to be Retainer's human disciple, hailing from an unspecified clan of exorcists (your guess is as good as mine if that means some connection to Popsicle BoiChongyun). Apparently not much for aging these days between cultivation hijinks and Adeptus magic, which probably goes ways to explain why the superstitious hoi polloi tend to take her to be one.
Then again, that hilariously obvious fraud Archaic Lord of Lightning and Thunder or whatever his bullshit title now was evidently manages to make a living by scamming rubes with his self-proclaimed Adeptushood so one rather gets the impression Liutians might be culturally predisposed to some uncritical jumping to conclusions in such matters anyway...

@Missigno she was mainly paired with Ganyu because everyone believed she was Cliud Retainer based off her earlier beta design. The ship will probably die now that people know that's not the case

Another character that I'll never get/level up because I've gotten sick of grinding for materials for everyone and their levels and their weapons and everything else.

^so you rather just have the characters maxed the moment you get them? Every gacha game requires you to grind for material.

^^^ Not sure how to explain it, but the grind feels imbalanced to me. My adventurer rank is going up faster than my characters and gear can level up, leaving me feeling underpowered. Some of the stuff I need only drops on certain days and it's just a pain to keep track of all of it. And I never ever ever have enough XP scroll things to level my characters properly.
Also, Inazuma is such a dark and gloomy land in most places that I suspect it's affecting my mood, making me feel depressed and unwilling to play. :/

^yeah, not unlocking your AR stages willy-nilly is a must. Farming is chore enough without enemies outleveling your chars and gears. I made that mistake once and ended up largely quitting the game for a few months in frustration.
Bonus points if a char uses same annoying enemy drops for Ascensions and skill upgrades... *stares accusingly at Kokomi*

Choose Aether or Lumine they still get all the waifus and husbands. It's my own headcanon that they are bisexual harem masters.

This was fast. Wasn't Shenhe's design and character info released today?

Smug Lumine knows what's hers.

^Your next ara ara~ Cryo onee-sama (note that her outfit actually has mesh panels there similar to Eula's)
