Ganyu/Lore

==Personality==
Ganyu is usually very meek, mild-mannered, and reserved due to her half-qilin heritage, and is easily flustered. She also completes whatever is given to her, whether it be tasks or food, even if she is reluctant to do so. Privately, she tends to snap whenever people speak ill of Beidou or the Geo Archon. She greatly respects her fellow adepti, especially Xiao and Cloud Retainer, seeing them as a mentor and a maternal figure respectively, although she becomes extremely anxious in the latter's presence due to her tendency to unintentionally ramble.
Ganyu has served as the non-stopping secretary of the Liyue Qixing for thousands of years. The more important the task is, the more effort she puts into it, but she also becomes increasingly nervous and is more prone to making mistakes.
She has a huge work schedule, often working overtime and is prone to falling asleep. As a result, Ganyu has very few friends outside of work. Due to her age, she is very forgetful, and she often forgets important details which causes her much embarrassment. She is very sensitive about her horns, weight and childhood, becoming visibly flustered when any of these three are mentioned in front of her.
==Appearance==
Ganyu uses the medium female model. She has fair skin and cerulean blue hair that naturally bunches in the middle and fades into a darker shade at the ends. She has black-red horns that bend back along her hair, similar to how a goat's horns look, with brighter red markings on them. She has eyes that appear to exhibit , fading from purple at the top to pinkish-gold at the bottom.
==Official Introduction==
For the Liyue Qixing of the lofty Yujing Terrace, Ganyu is not merely a companion to serve them, but is instead coordinator of the web of information that moves across Liyue Harbor, and the architect of administrative efficiency.
Complex meeting minutes, disorderly report data... Every day piles of documents flow by like water, each one personally compiled by her into clear and concise words in order to assist the Qixing's every decision and negotiation as they flow through various organizational departments.
In the eons that have gone by, the Qixing have changed with each succession of their posts, while only Ganyu has lived to see the flourishing of Liyue Harbor from beginning to the modern day.
The human blood that runs through her veins makes her reluctant to leave the splendor of the city lights, while her adeptus side leads her to yearn for the gentle serenity of her adeptal homeland.
For the half-human, half-adeptus Ganyu, between the bustling sea of people and the ethereal clustered peaks, which is more fitting to call home?

==Trivia==
* According to Xiangling, Ganyu has a surprisingly large appetite — Xiangling and Chef Mao give her an extra-large portion of food on the occasions she eats at Wanmin Restaurant, but she always manages to finish it.
** According to Yaoyao's message on the Wangshu Inn Bulletin Board, Ganyu has a sensitive stomach and cannot handle spicy food.
** Ganyu's Character Story 5 suggests that at the time of the Archon War, Ganyu was not as slim as she is today as her waistline "easily" choked a monster to death when it tried to swallow her whole, to her embarrassment. She has since taken efforts to watch her figure.
* Although Ganyu and her Character Stories say she is , she may actually be : She says she will decline vegetable fritters that have been fried in animal fat, and during Spices From the West, she declines meatless dishes that include Bird Eggs or Milk, such as Fragrant Almond Tofu, Fragrant Satisfying Salad, and Fragrant Fisherman's Toast.
** However, the canonicity of playable characters' preferences during Spices From the West is questionable.
*** In the corresponding voice-over (Receiving a Gift: III), Ganyu declines solely on the basis of the dish containing meat, which does not make sense when she declines meatless dishes.
*** Zhongli politely declines all seafood, including Fragrant Grilled Tiger Fish and Fragrant Mondstadt Grilled Fish, but his Character Story That Which Rises From the Sea indicates that he only dislikes tentacled seafood and will happily eat even tentacled seafood that has been cut into small pieces. Zhongli's Character Story 1 also heavily implies that he has eaten Fullmoon Egg, which uses both cut and whole Shrimp. It therefore does not make sense that Zhongli declines even Grilled Tiger Fish and Mondstadt Grilled Fish, which are small portions of cut fish.
* Ganyu can be seen using Amos' Bow in a cutscene of the in the battle against Beisht.
* Ganyu leaves her own message on the Wangshu Inn Bulletin Board, albeit anonymously.
* Cloud Retainer said that when Ganyu was young, she loved it when her horns were caressed.She also reveals that Ganyu's first encounter with a human was bumping into a pilgrim while falling down a mountain. The experience scared her so much that she hid in a rock's cleft for two days.
* Looking at her character for a period of time causes her to blush.
* Ganyu got to meet Guizhong, the God of Dust, a few times.
* There are contradictions regarding when Ganyu signed her contract with Rex Lapis:
** Ganyu tells the Traveler she signed her contract with Rex Lapis shortly after the Archon War ended around two thousand years ago.
** Her character profile states she signed the contract three thousand years ago, during the Archon War.
** Zhongli says Ganyu has served the longest of those who honor a contract with Rex Lapis. However, there are other adepti whose contracts pre-date the two times given for Ganyu's:
*** Rex Lapis founded Liyue Harbor and signed the first contracts to defend it with the adepti 3,700 years ago, after relocating the people from the destroyed Guili Assembly. Cloud Retainer, Moon Carver, Mountain Shaper, and a qilin, who may be Ganyu herself or another individual, were among those who made that journey.
* Ganyu's Chinese voice actress () is one of the directors of Genshin Impacts Chinese voice actors.Bilibili: In the CN 1.1 livestream (~ 1:28), Paimon's VA notes that this is the first time with two of the voice acting directors in one livestream. Jean/Ganyu's VA then proceeds to ask her if she feels pressured by that. She is also the Chinese voice actress of Jean.
* In the Chinese translation of her Story Quest, Uncle Tian refers to her as "older sister Ganyu" citing it a childhood name, despite the former looking much more advanced in age, which showcases how much Ganyu has remained unchanged over the years.
* Ganyu is known by these aliases or titles:
** Little Miss Ganyu (CN: older sister Ganyu) (by Uncle Tian)
* In her voice-over Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion, Ganyu mentions a quote from an ancient text saying "Only when days be darker than the darkest night, may a qilin be compelled to fight." In the Chinese version, the corresponding quotation is "," which translates to "The term líndǒu (lit. "the battle of a female qilin") refers to no light in the sun (that is, eclipse)." The text is from a Chinese esoteric book called (also known as ) written during the Han dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD).Wikisource:
