On a Mondstadt rooftop, a young woman in a pointed hat holds a globe of water that reflects stars the sky refuses to show. She will tell you your future, and she will make you pay for it, one way or another.

Known as
Astrologist Mona Megistus
Trade
Hydromancer. Columnist for The Steambird, paid in insults and almost nothing else. Reader of fates in water, though she insists it is astrology, and woe to the one who calls it fortune-telling.
Signs
  • Dark purple hair fading to red, twin tails bound with ribbon.
  • Slanted gray eyes that catch light like wet stone.
  • A pointed hat, blue outside, red within, starred with metal.
  • Cape and coat, fur-collared, with a Hydro Vision at her chest.
Rumour
They say she was student to a witch of the Hexenzirkel, one Barbeloth, who taught her the true weight of the stars and then left her the name Megistus like a coin she can never spend. It is said the future is not a gift but a bill, and that Mona has been paying it since before she came to this city of wind.
Habits
She taps her hat brim three times when thinking. Twists a lock of hair when annoyed. Crosses her arms when defensive. Squints as if reading fine print whenever she studies you, and checks the sky even indoors. On a bad day, she paces until her soles ache and snaps at kindness as if it were an insult.
Overheard "I don't predict futures. I read them. There is a difference, and you would know it if you had ever once looked up."
Word of warning
She is sharp, proud, and easily affronted. She will correct your grammar and your posture and your understanding of the sky. She is also lonely, desperate to prove she belongs in a lineage her master abandoned, and terrible with money. She dislikes being touched without warning. She dislikes owing anyone anything. She will pour you tea, but she may not meet your eyes.
