The Snow Maiden is the chosen one of the third Descended One Genshin Impact, who died at the hands of Original and became the basis for Hearts of God. She is known from legends about a young man who discovered an ancient kingdom in a frozen sea. She belongs to a species of elves distinguished by their gray skin and poor tolerance for heat.
The heroine's identity and story details are unclear, giving rise to fan theories. According to insider reports, she may become playable, so we'll share all the information about her, including rumors about her future element and role in the team, and reveal more about her race.
Who is Snegurochka in Genshin Impact?
This is the name of a girl belonging to the elven species of the same name. She is mentioned in the description of the epic spear. Ballad of the Fjords, where the fisherman tells his son the legend of AjaxThe heroine was his beloved, but their destinies were separated by the insidious tricks of the "changelings."
It is possible that she was also mentioned in the collection "Hymns of the Far North". Saarelainen He risked his life for the hand of the old man Pakkaisukko's daughter and was cut into seven pieces by the Lord of the Seven Calamities for opening the gates of Pohjola. The community notes the similarities between Ajax and Saarelainen, but there is no direct evidence that they are actually the same person:
- Ajax defeated a dragon in a kingdom deep in the frozen sea to retrieve gold to heal his sick friends.
- Prayers of the descendants of the Frost Moon were chanted to Saarelainen to heal wounds and illnesses.
The name Pakkaisukko translated from Karelian means "Father Frost" .The Hymn of the far north is similar to the legend of the old woman Louhi and the blacksmith Ilmarinen from the Kalevala, a collection of epic poetry based on Finnish, Karelian, and Ingrian folklore. This can be interpreted as meaning that Pakkaisukko's daughter was Snegurochka.
In the prayers of the descendants of the Frost Moon, it was mentioned that Pakkaisukko was a servant of the ancestors - this indicates his belonging to the Snowland Fae who were forged by the inhabitants of Hyperborea. Stories of Ajax are closely linked to the discovery of the Golden City and the kingdom that sank during the War of Vengeance. The hero was likely remembered under a different name due to cultural differences between the peoples.
Ultimately, the girl's love story is revealed by characters from two legends of ancient states that ceased to exist about 5000-6000 years ago.
What does the character look like
With the NPC Viliana's appearance, it's safe to assume she'll resemble her: with gray skin, blue eyes, and ice elements in her design. Insiders hxg_diluc and fullstopchan shared that Snegurochka is a living doll, like Harbinger Wanderer. In earlier leaks, she was described as a character with a tall, feminine figure.
Vision
According to insider 神威难藏舅, the five-star Snegurochka will be the signature Cryo support for Puppet Sandrone and will be added to the list of meta characters of of Nod-Krai.
Release Date
The release of Snegurochka is likely planned for patch 7.X. SnowyHer appearance may foreshadow the revelation of characters named after the third Descended, Ajax.
If the future Peac**k dancer belongs to this type of elves, she may be the very girl from the rumors.
What is known about the race
In the third volume The Legend of Reed Miller mentioned pale and sad creatures that turned betrayed lovers into ice statues. They were first shown in Linnaeus's task Using Viliana as an example. After the quest, she can be found above the forge in the north of Nashgorod.
Viliana Velesovna Belozerskaya is an adventurer from Novokitezhgrad who travels and writes a book about elves, "Night Whispers from Afar." She explains that snowmen and snow maidens are one of their most numerous varieties, who are practically intolerant of heat and rarely leave the cold lands. Her mother is a noblewoman, and her distant aunt is Duchess Pavlina of the House of Hesperides.
There are 11 legs per region. Lauma, Fleance, Nefer, Durin, Columbine, Horse, Varka, Nicole, and Sandrone are the 5-stars, and there are nine of them. The remaining silhouettes are likely to include Lochen, Linnea, and Snegurochka. Also, don't forget that by the end of the region, there might be a 5-star character who wasn't introduced on the stream, as was the case with Ineffa.
Attention question: based on all this and the remaining 2 spots for legions, 1 of which must definitely be standard and 1 may not be represented on the stream, what are the chances that Snegurochka is actually 5*? 😀
Varca and Sandrone are not a priori
A very complex joke... Can I get an explanatory team?
There is a possibility that the cooking is standard
Varka is definitely not standard; the signature character setup around him is too strong. On his own team, he'd be something like a Hyperbloom Nevilette. Without a team, he's a second-string speedster.
I think it's too "flat" for a normal legion, and the pack and damage are so-so.
The setup around him is so cool with signature characters that Varka is completely unnecessary and it's much more profitable to knock out these very signature characters, at least with Durin this is obviously true and I'm sure it will be the same with Nicole.
And in this scenario, Varka can be replaced with absolutely any random homeless person and nothing will change. So what's the point of him being a kill? Perhaps just for the simplification factor.
I was talking specifically about rarity, not event-relatedness, and I think it’s obvious to everyone that Varka and Sandrone will be legions, so it’s unclear what he meant.
Regarding Varka's standard status, I noticed a rumor in the foreign community that, based on recent leaks, Gensh might be released on Steam, and the company will give away Varka for that. I think it's just another fan theory, but I wouldn't dismiss it 100%, as Varka genuinely seems weak for the event legion and strong for the standard one, so maybe the company will come up with some kind of distribution gimmick and try to cash in on the hype. Who knows?
It's entirely possible that, like Dan Heng/Archer in HSR, they'll simply give him away for free to celebrate his Steam release. And instead of a free signature, they'll only offer a two-handed weapon color for Varka (which, by the way, has already been done). So, while this is just a rumor, it's certainly more likely than him being included in Standard Edition.
I'll just pop some copy and fantasize: the developer stream is on February 13th, February 17th is Chinese New Year, and February 25th is 6.4, and in honor of the past New Year + the Steam release, some kind of share would be justified.
On the other hand, the company is insanely greedy, and it might be that they'll just release a dubious Legacy event, like they did with Sidge, and then, if there's even one, they'll just give away nothing in honor of the Steam release. 😀
I'm not ruling out either option for now, but I'm hoping for a free Varka. I like the look of it, but I'm loathe to knock it out and have it just sit there collecting dust on my account.
Same story actually :)
If they give it away for free, it won't be a big deal, we'll see what time will tell.
