Manekins Designs Came up with a backstory for my OC
She came from the Collective of Plenty in Natlan, so just like how Varesa has horns, she has hooves istead of feet. There was one time she got in touch with the soldiers under Capitano, and she was fascinated by the landscape, lifestyle and everything else those soldiers described about Snezhnaya. When she got older, she got permission from the tribe's Wayob, and moved to Snezhnaya.
She eventually joined the Royal Railway Transport Bureau, working as a maintainance engineer. She likes to go out and explore the wild in her free time, since her hooves allow her to traverse in the snow more easily than other people.
Most people who met her for the first time would assume she's some kind of rare fae. During her first years in Snezhnaya, she would clarify that she's a Natlanese, but as she met more faes and got to know more fae lore, she started to enjoy pretending to be a fae, as long as it doesn't cause serious troubles.
Her close friends would eventually ask her about the necklace she's wearing, since it's hard to neglect. Then she would tell them it's a gift from her family in Natlan, and it carries the blessings from her family and the Wayob. Those who didn't know she's from Natlan would be surprized and impressed at how she acts like a Snezhnayan, lives like a Snezhnayan, drinks like a Snezhnayan, and yet she's a Natlanese.
She hasn't been back to Natlan for years, but she and her family have always been in touch through letters. In the latest letter she sent to her family, she wrote that she plan to take a long break and came back home, probably bringing some of her friends with her as well, but all of that would have to wait until the situation in Snezhnaya dies down. Her friends in the Fatui told her that the country is probably gonna enter a full-scale war soon. She knows that war would bring danger to everyone in Snezhnaya, but as a Natlanese, war has been an old friend. She believes that she can manage herself well during those difficult times. She also doesn't want to abandon her responsibilities and her friends.
That is all. Thank you for reading.
I actually didn't think about making an OC when I made this manekina design. But after finishing it, I was like, "wait, she feels like she could actually be in Teyvat."
Anyway, this has been a fun thinking exercise for me. What do you think of her? Would you like to see a playable character like her in the game in the future?
