## Introduction

**Kiyukix** is a fanmade character in the world of Genshin Impact. As a kitsune of great power, Kiyukix is a great fighter who dares to adventure in the wilderness of Teyvat. She once served as the eleventh of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, carrying out the wishes of Tsaritsa after leaving her elder sister Yae Miko to travel to Snezhnaya, where she met her "friend" Shiryu, who later on unknowingly poisoned their friendship by forever leaving Snezhnaya and leaving for Liyue. Upon receiving a mission that she failed to accomplish, Kiyukix ran from Snezhnaya, and she now travels the world as a lone wanderer, much like her friend the Wanderer Scaramouche. She has a Pyro Vision and a Geo Delusion.

## Personality

Kiyukix behaves like a strong, cruel, hateful, defiant, and bitter warrior with no mercy, while she's secretly a nice person who doesn't hesitate to do the right thing, although she doesn't like the attention and protests every time that she doesn't care. She hates getting in the spotlight, trying to push the attention to someone else, which often results in her getting in difficult situations. Kiyukix tries her best to become the warrior she sees inside of herself. She is never satisfied by herself and doesn't stop in the way to achieve power.

She is awfully bad at persuading people, since when she talks she is usually trying to tell people to leave her alone or to issue threats. However, Kiyukix does have a lot of battle experience and is good at drawing up plans, so she doesn't need to have good charisma to win in a fight.

As she didn't receive a proper education when she was younger, Kiyukix isn't the best at academic studies or common sense. But she makes up to this with her excellent battle skills and quick wit during a fight.

Kiyukix is difficult to deal with if you are her enemy, since she is extremely good at fighting and is also cunning in her own way. She has over tens of thousands of years of battle experience from her previous life, and she could easily beat some of the most powerful monsters and people in Teyvat.

Despite her negative traits and fierce traits, Kiyukix is somewhat attractive to others, and she gives off an aura of protectiveness to those who she loves. She is willing to fight to the death and willing to follow her heart, making her seem like a righteous person.

## Appearance

### Human form

Kiyukix uses the tall female model. She has luxurious and long dark-red hair that reaches her shoulders, with a few loose strands that cover her forehead and ears. Kiyukix has shimmering purples eyes, and a scar running down her right eye.

She wears a brown turtleneck on the inside and a red warrior tunic on the outside. Kiyukix has a blood red ribbon as her headdress, and she also has a golden necklace. She also has half of a grey mask with a red streak on it "glued" to the left side of her face, her broken Fatui Mask. Kiyukix wears two golden bracelets, on her left hand and one on her right. Her vision and delusion are attached to different bracelets, her vision on her left bracelet and her delusion on her right bracelet.

Kiyukix, being a kitsune, also has a pair of red fox ears that point upwards and a red tail, unlike her sister who's tail only appears in dire situations.

### Fox form

Kiyukix's fox form is a little fox, as big as an average kitsune who lived for about 300 years. She has sleek red fur along her whole body, with sharp purple eyes and a thin structure.

## Character Stories

### Character Details

Kiyukix, formerly a member of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, a kitsune of tremendous power, now a wanderer among the vast world of Teyvat. She is shunned from society because one thing: her Fatui Mask. She is feared because of her former identity, a cruel and ruthless villain.

However, beneath that mask of hatred and cruelty lies a person who craves for the care of others. But still, no matter what she secretly envisions for the future, she knows that no one could heal her broken heart anymore.

She always seems to be drowning in her sea of memories, but who wouldn't, with a history as dark as hers? Loyalty, betrayal, love, hate, bitterness, sweetness, all mixed together. It's a miracle that she could still live from the pain that those memories bring her.

Yae Miko refused her, Yuki denied her, Shiryu left her. The three blows that destroyed Kiyukix's life. The three blows that poisoned the young kitsune's entire future and clouded her destiny.

And now, Kiyukix has no friend, no one to tell her fears and her sorrows. No one in the entire world to tell of her misfortunes.

### Character Story 5

*Friendship Lv. 6*

Yae Miko and Kiyukix were sisters and best friends. They were one of the youngest of the whole kitsune clan, and both were sure playful. Kiyukix adored her older sister and treated her like an idol, a friend and a sibling at the same time.

They are often seen together, a pink and a red blur, traveling throughout the plains of Inazuma, carefree and without troubles. They were close, closer than any other pair sibling could be.

Once, Miko took her younger sister out into the wilds to see a sunrise. Both kitsunes were in their human forms, sitting side by side on the dew-kissed grass, watching the dark sky turn from deep purple into light blue, then to orange as a bright ball of fire appeared in the east. Clouds drifted across the sky, lazy as always.

Suddenly, Kiyukix turned her head around, her own shimmering purple eyes meeting Miko's: "Sister? Will you always be with me?"

Yae Miko twirled her pink hair between her slender fingers, thinking about the question: "Well, why do you ask?"

Kiyukix drummed her fingers against the grassy ground: "Do you remember that kitsune that died today? I don't want to die. I want to be with Miko forever." Suddenly, the younger kitsune broke into tears, burying her head into her sister's arms.

Earlier that day, an old member of their clan had died due to a mysterious illness, and witnessing a kitsune die right in front of her was a very traumatizing experience indeed, for young Kiyukix.

Miko patted Kiyukix's head affectionately, trying to comfort her younger sister: "Don't cry! Don't cry, we're not going to be separated soon."

"But......but.....he died right in front of me!" Kiyukix was still sobbing, her tears dampening Miko's tunic, but the older kitsune didn't care about that right now.

"Yes, Kix. But he was an elder and have already lived a fulfilling and exciting life." Kiyukix had stopped crying and was now staring at Miko, "You and I both have *great* lives ahead of us, Kix! And I'll *never, ever* separate from you. We'll *always* be sisters."

A grin crept onto Kiyukix's face. She leapt up and hugged Miko, before racing over the ground and yelling happily into the orange sky: "You here that? Miko would never be separated from me! *We will never leave each other*!"

And so, under the first rays of the sun, the sisters laughed together merrily, without a trace of worry in them.

This is now one of the only memories Kiyukix has of her childhood. That dawn, on the green grass.

### A Broken Mask

*Friendship Lv. 4*

She was running. Running away from that hateful place. She didn't want to look back on that place, there were too many painful memories.

Kiyukix stumbled to a stop. She was almost out of Tsaritsa's territory, and once she crossed Snezhnaya's borders, she'd be free again. Free to think, free to love, although she wasn't sure she wanted to fall for someone again.

She gingerly plucked her Fatui mask from the side of her head. The Cryo Archon had given it to her, the day she had decided to become eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers. It was made out of grey metal-like rock, and where there should have been eye sockets were two swathes of black cloth. And there were two blood-red lines slashing through both eye holes, as if she'd got scars on both her eyes.

Looking at the mask, Kiyukix traced a finger over her own scar on her right eye, wondering. She turned back one last time, staring at the horizon of the Kingdom of Ice, before taking a step forward.

It could almost be felt by a human, the faint crackling upon one's skin as he stepped from one Archon's territory to another. However, to an alert kitsune like Kiyukix, that feeling was ten times as stronger.

She was finally free.

With a sickening crack, Kiyukix broke the mask in half, snapping the rock mask directly down the middle.

She was prepared to throw both halves onto the ground behind her, but she stopped.

Both her hands were shaking hard, as if the mask itself was trembling, shaking. Then, without warning, the right half of the mask dissolved into golden light, and the left half of the mask flew at Kiyukix's face, gluing to it as if it had been born there, covering up her left eye.

Kiyukix screamed, she tore at her face, trying to claw the mask off. She tried to control it with her Geo Delusion and make it crumble. She tried burning down the mask, anything to take off that reminder of her former life. But nothing.

A voice echoed in her mind: *"A reminder, Kiyukix. You betrayed the Fatui Harbingers, and this is your curse. To live in the shadow of your former identity forever. Let people gaze upon your face and scream. You will have no identity. No friends. No destiny."*

"TSARITSA!" Kiyukix yelled with all her might. She knew it instinctively, that the Cryo Archon had did this to her. To "punish" her for leaving the Harbingers.

But the mask didn't budge. It will never do.

### Vision

*Friendship Lv. 6*

Kiyukix still remembers the day she received her Vision. Strange that she'll remember that little bracelet that appeared mysteriously.

It was a rainy day, clouds covered the sky, making everything seem dull and unappealing. Kiyukix was walking along a small muddy road, somewhere deep in the forests of Inazuma.

Suddenly, her keen kitsune ears picked up a noise. A crackling sound, like miniature explosions, or lightening. She dropped to the ground and rolled out of the way, just as three bolts of lightening arced from the sky and fried the ground where she had just been standing.

She was up in an instant, screaming in fear, racing away from the thing that attacked her. Turning around, she saw the ghastly danger. It was an Electro Specter, hovering in the air behind her. Suddenly, it spun and charged towards her, bursts of lightening flickering.

Kiyukix dodged and somehow wound her way behind the Specter, but she didn't have way to kill the monster. She realized with a start that this monster might chase her until it kills her.

Then, she felt it. A soft humming in the air, drowning out the cracks of lightening for a second. Suddenly, a wall of fire erupted around the Specter, encasing it in a round ball of fire. Kiyukix dropped to the ground again, face full of shock and wonder as the flames raged.

As quick as it came, the flames extinguished, and the Electro Specter was no more. Left in its place was a small necklace-shaped object, glinting golden and fiery red in the dull light.

Kiyukix hesitated for a moment, before scrambling to her feet and bending down to pick the thing up. It was indeed a necklace, strung with delicate pearls. A brooch was hung on the necklace, it had a gold border, with an orange flame shape in the middle the brooch.

Her mind raced. Kiyukix faintly remember reading something about Visions, a gift given by the Archons, presenting the person with immense power, and this "Vision" was only given to the most worthy.

She hooked the necklace onto her own neck and ran down the path, determined to tell her sister about the wonders she encountered today.

## Namecard

**Description:** It's a delicate lantern, made into perfection, crafted by her own hands. It glows with the warmth of a fire but burns with the ferocity of the flames of destruction. Did she create this solely to fight off monsters?

## History

### Part one: former life

Kiyukix was formerly a kitsune of high rank, although she herself is not sure who she was. Her former kitsune life was probably the life of one of the glorious leaders of the kitsunes, who fought in thousands of battles and lived for tens of thousands of years. After the body of her former soul died, the soul of the kitsune leader was reborn into the body of Kiyukix and walks Teyvat once again.

### Part two: Early life

Kiyukix was born about two hundred years after her sister, Yae Miko. The two were quite close when they were younger, and they often read books together (the one period of time when Kiyukix actually bothered to learn something). Kiyukix received her vision at about a hundred years old. At that time, Kiyukix was still a curious, friendly and charming young girl, who hasn't yet regained memories of her previous life as a kitsune leader.

However, Kiyukix was soon captured by the Fatui Harbingers and took into Snezhnaya for human experimenting, much like Collei's experience. The torture during the human experimenting turned her bitter and hateful towards the world, but miraculously, also amplified her pyro vision powers. She realized this and started to train hard, stopping at nothing to make herself more powerful. This was the reason Yae Miko shied away from her young sister after Kiyukix's return to Inazuma, the first thing that broke Kiyukix.

Before she left her birthplace, Kiyukix met a travelling soldier called Yuki. She was a fighter as well, with a cryo vision. For some strange reason, Kiyukix felt slightly attached to Yuki, and she began to follow this person, wishing to become companions. Unknown to Kiyukix, Yuki loathed kitsunes because of a childhood memory. After learning of Kiyukix's intentions, Yuki chose to bond with her, letting their "friendship" grow until she deliberately betrayed Kiyukix, wanting to see her "enemy" suffer. Yuki's betrayal was the second blow.

### Part three: Snezhnaya

At about 250 years old, Kiyukix cut ties with her family and left for Snezhnaya, in hope of improving herself by training with the people who once captured her and "upgraded" her for the first time.

The Eleven Fatui Harbingers took her in as the eleventh member happily, noting that she was a very strong fighter. Tsaritsa even gifted her with a geo delusion personally and a stone mask to hide her features.

Kiyukix started training herself to fight, only stopping to carry out the wishes of the Cryo Archon, and she pressed herself to her limits. She rarely had time to enjoy herself, and when she does have time to herself she usually spends it alone in her home in Snezhnaya. But after years and years of completing missions, Kiyukix started to ponder if she made the right choice to support the Fatui.

There, she met Shiryu, her "friend". Unlike her encounter and relationship with Yuki, Shiryu and Kiyukix had a much healthier relationship (at first). Kiyukix admitted that she would share some personal stuff with her friend, although not too private things, and the two would spend long hours together, training.

The two continued to bond until Shiryu left for Liyue, to trace his origins. Unknown to him, this poisoned their relationship, as Kiyukix is very sensitive to events like betrayal, and she believed that Shiryu leaving was a betrayal of some sorts. Angry with her "friend", she threw herself into her missions from the Fatui, determined not to fall for what she called "human emotions".

However, Tsaritsa gave her an “impossible" mission soon afterwards, consisting of going to Inazuma and killing multiple innocent people. In a fit of rage, Kiyukix decided to leave Snezhnaya and forfeit her position as the eleventh member of the Fatui. Tsaritsa seemed unwilling to stop her, or so it seemed.

The second Kiyukix stepped out of Snezhnaya, she snapped off her Fatui mask......or half of it. The other half was "glued" to her face, unable to be taken off for the rest of her life. She believed that it was Tsaritsa's way of punishing her "betrayal", to make everyone who sees her be fear-stricken, so that she won't find happiness again in her life. Kiyukix was also unable to get rid of the geo delusion that was gifted to her.

### Part four: wanderer

Kiyukix took some time to travel to Irminsul, the tree of the world, where she deleted all memories of herself from Shiryu's mind, hoping that he would never recognize her if they ever meet again.

After leaving the abyss, Kiyukix started wandering the world, moving from region to region and relying on no one to live. Somehow, she still has a supply of mora and supplies (that she probably pickpocketed from others).

She befriended the Wanderer when both were in Sumeru, after he recovered his lost memories. The Wanderer seemed to be amused by and admired the fact that Kiyukix was able to escape Tsaritsa and erase herself from someone's memories, and the two became friends. But still, the two weren't really intimate, and Kiyukix regarded the Wanderer as "a person who I would talk with, but not to share secrets with."
