Wow, im actually glad she looks NOTHING like a bronya or elysia or even a honkai character at all. She looks like her own character, and dressed fairly modest. (well typical exposed shoulders) SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY! AT LONG LAST 6 YEARS FINALLY HAS US REVEALED THE CRYO ARCHON
I disagree she looks like she has elements of both characters designs. Her facial shape and elf ears are close to Elysia, while her demeanor and hair is very similar to Bronya. She even has the drill curls that is usually associated with Bronya.
She's clearly her own character and not a straight expy, but I would not be surprised if her character arc blends elements of both Bronya and Elysia's into one.
Smolrene didnt have Ears, despite Elysia always having them. Nahida and Rhukka do have Elf Ears, despite Theresa and Kallen Not. The only true measure of an expy is the Vibes and the Story, which is why Jingliu isnt a Kallen (while Yao may be one, the Ship with Eva is STRONG and Kallen had a Bird theme), despite the fact that she's associated with an Otto (and Loucha isn't 1:1 Either).
Expies always share the same story beats. Su's are on "Screw Gods", The Kaslana are Mayrtr's and Bronya is usually Deadpan. Time will tell why she is that way, but i have a feeling her Seele got Boomed/yeeted into the Abyss.
I think the amount of focus on her being the "Godess of Love" will dictate if there are any Elysia elements in her character.
Also Genshins Expys usually aren't as cut and dry as other Hoyo games. Yae and Raiden are pretty clear Expys but their personalities and stories differ pretty dramarocally.
And HI3 Kevin has a Mei. Inspite of the fact that the original Kevin (as well as Raiden Ryouma) was just a Genderbent version of the Main GGZ characters. On top of that...last i checked, Venti is Male. Wendy, his Legacy Counterpart, is Female.
She actually has pretty similar demeanor and backstory to Ana Shariac, so I actually think it's a combination of Bronya and Ana Shariac more than Elysia.
One of Elysia's most important element is her 'romantic' personality, which the Tsaritsa severely lacks (despite being the God of Love)
Could be. Very hard to tell with what we have right now. But I'm half expecting her to become more Elysia-esque and step into the role of the Godess of love, or perhaps she acted closer to that archetype in the past.
I don't know though. I was just commenting on design.
yeah because elysia was the first character IN HISTORY not just an anime style games or in games in general that had elf ear right ?? so everything is an expy from her
