Bennett Origin Revealed: Be the Luckiest Child

"People say all kids do is cry, But when I think of you, My sweet child, All I remember is your smile."

As the Version 5.8 event unfolds, the mystery of Bennett's origins has finally been revealed. This 4-star Pyro character, hailed by players as the "6-star Pyro Archon," is beloved by many for his exceptional performance in the Spiral Abyss. Today, we've compiled some stories from the Version 5.8 event for all Travelers-let's take a look together.

1. Genshin Impact The Legend of the Mare Jivari

The Mare Jivari is a "sea" made of ashes, where not even a single "breath of wind" exists, leaving only a silent land of legends.

In Version 5.2's event "Iktomi Spiritseeking Scrolls," Citlali told us that 500 years ago, during the great war against the Abyss in Natlan, facing the overwhelming tide of monsters, the heroic Sanhaj-a great priest of Natlan-used a forbidden spell in a desperate situation. He summoned and detonated a miniature Night space within the Mare Jivari, successfully repelling the Abyssal forces.

However, the cost was devastating: Sanhaj himself, the alliance leader Tenoch, and countless warriors perished in this battle. The ashes of both monsters and soldiers covered the battlefield. After this battle, the Mare Jivari truly took shape, becoming a forbidden land filled with unknown dangers and secrets-a proving ground where top adventurers demonstrate they've reached the pinnacle. It attracts countless adventurers to explore.

2. Bennett Character Profile

In Mondstadt, we meet Bennett, who always wears a smile. This adopted orphan grew up surrounded by love and care. Raised on legendary tales told by old Adventurers, Bennett developed a deep passion for adventure. Yet his journeys are often plagued by misfortune. It's said that anyone joining Benny's Adventure Team would share the leader's bad luck or face unavoidable mishaps. In Bennett's story quest, we witness his mysterious power of "law follows his words." Bennett's character embodies relentless misfortune.

Even his birthday falls on February 29th, once every four years. Fortunately, in non-leap years, his birthday mail arrives on February 28th, and friends celebrate him on this day. miHoYo releases annual birthday photography and even Bennett birthday gift. The date itself matters less than the companions who accompany and celebrate with us.

3. Why Bennett Is So Unlucky

In the latest Version 5.8 storyline, we learn the reason for Bennett's constant misfortune. Bennett is originally from Natlan, where 500 years ago, as the Abyss encroached, Natlanians and the Wayob had to rely on each other for survival. However, the Wayob's power is limited and cannot grant equal protection to those who leave Natlan, often leading to issues with memory and emotions. Bennett's misfortune stems precisely from losing his connection to Natlan's ley lines and protection.

4. Bennett: The Luckiest Child

Bennett's mother Aroni hailed from the Masters of the Night-Wind, and his father Macani from the Collective of Plenty, confirming Bennett's Natlan heritage. Macani founded the Flintblades Adventure Team. After Bennett's birth, they planned to retire and organized a farewell journey. However, they were ambushed by Abyssal monsters. To preserve their only "spark"-Bennett-they prayed to the gods, sacrificing their memories and souls at the cost of never entering the Night Kingdom, so that Bennett could survive. The Anemo Archon heard their prayers, and Bennett was eventually rescued by a Mondstadt adventurer. His parents transformed into Asha, and though stripped of their past memories, they instinctively remain drawn to Bennett.

5. About Asha

Asha are life forms derived from the Ley Lines of Natlan, born from souls unable to reincarnate and lingering in the world. Over time, the wisdom once contained in their human souls has faded, leaving only basic intelligence. However, Asha's appearance is incredibly adorable, and many players hope miHoYo will release Asha plush for everyone to own.

Bennett may be an "unlucky guy," but he is also the luckiest child. He has parents who deeply love him, adoptive fathers who care for him, and countless companions willing to stand by him. His story continues, and future adventures will surely be even more thrilling!
