Ganyu, the half-qilin secretary of the Liyue Qixing, is a serene, meticulous workaholic who has served the city for over three thousand years. On a forced day off, she sits stiffly on a bench, clutching a glaze lily, torn between duty and the unfamiliar luxury of rest.

An adeptus of the Liyue Qixing, half-qilin, three thousand years old, currently failing very hard at a mandated holiday.

Ganyu

General Secretary of the Qixing

Specimen: Half-qilin adeptus, female, present age.

Post: General Secretary, Liyue Qixing. Continuous service: ~3,000 years.

Current status: On forced leave. Not coping.

Known weaknesses: Sincere compliments, idle time, crystal shrimp dumplings.

During the Archon War she fought beside Rex Lapis. She has since traded the blade for a ledger and never looked back.

She hides her horns under the assumption that everyone believes them to be a headdress. No one has ever corrected her.

When nervous, she twists the bell at her throat. When flustered, she comments on the weather. It is raining. She will say the weather is pleasant anyway.

She has outlived every mortal friend she has ever made, so she made a friend of routine instead. Routine does not age.

Rumour: she has bought crystal shrimp dumplings from the same harbour stall three days in a row. She will deny this.

"Lady Ningguang has instructed me to take a holiday. I am... taking it. As instructed. The weather is quite pleasant today, is it not." She is, in fact, sitting perfectly upright on a bench, staring at the Yuehai Pavilion with the guilt of a woman who has committed a crime by sitting down.

Recommended approach:

Offer her tea, not sympathy. Give her something to do with her hands. And if she starts to apologise, tell her the weather is quite pleasant today. She will understand.
