 **Race** | Human (formerly)  Mizuchi (currently)

**Shikanoin Kasumi** (Japanese: 鹿野院 香澄) is a playable Anemo character in *Genshin Impact*.

She is the current clan head of the Shikanoin Clan; one of the most powerful and influental Inazuman clans, which alone holds a unique distinction for not being affiliated or even underneath the controlling powers of any of the leading three clans of the Tri-Comission. As both a General of the Kanjou Comission, along with being the Eternal Dragon Sage of Mt. Ryū; she is considered the undisputed leader of the Tri-Comission's opposing force which is referred to as Inazuma's Warrior Sages whom control the mountains and forests of Inazuma alongside the Tengu.

She is distant cousins with shrine maiden ---, which makes her Shikanoin Heizou's older sister. Considering that she works for the Tri-Comission's Kanjou Comission, being it's sole commanding General and ultimately one of the comission's controlling powers, it can be assumed that Heizou are on fair good terms.

## Lore

> Warrior, Sage, Master of None, this mystical figure is considered a storybook legend to most living Inazumans, as they have never encountered her descents from her mountainside home. But those of the Kanjou Comission revere her calm and even temperment, for she is their General. One who has brought their comission much dignity and grace, while at times leaving the comission's affairs and mundane paperwork to her subordinates.

> Description from the Official Website

Shikanoin Kasumi is a member and current clan head of the Shikanoin Clan, who serves the Raiden Shogun. A serene General who commands the Kanjou Comission's Forces, she alone personifies the fury of the Kanjou Comission and is considered a fable in the eyes of many ordinary Inazumans due to her reclusive nature and tendency to only be found on the Kanjou Comission's area of influence. For this reason, few have seen her prowess in battle but it is said when the moon's rays hit the top of the Kanjou Comissioner's home, that Kasumi can be found in the light.

Before the events of the game, Kazuha's friend and Kazuha himself entered the tuterlage of Kasumi and were trained in her respective martial arts style. During this period, Kazuha was introduced to Kasumi's group of adoptive and biological children, taking a liking to her youngest Shikanoin Kaori. The mountains and forests of Inazuma are considered her undispusted territory, at least in the eyes of the Tengu and at her hand, she quells all crisises of the people. This has made her universally beloved and a cult has even formed around her, portraying her as a divine dragon incarnation (born from the remains of Raiden Ei's beloved wife, Raiden Eiko) and manifested into a new form in order to protect Inazuma in the new area.

## Personality

> The revered General of the Kanjou Comission. Serene, level-headed, and cool-natured. A calm person who has earned the highly-coveted title of Inazuma's Eternal Dragon Sage.
