Eula Genshin: Will the sinful bloodline seek revenge?

The story of Genshin Impact is one of the game's greatest charms, with each character boasting a rich background setting. This is also a major motivation for travelers to immerse themselves in the game. Naturally, the characters are exquisitely crafted, earning the adoration of countless players. Today, the focus of this article is none other than the "Spindrift Knight," Eula.

Eula not only possesses an adorable appearance, a perfect figure, and exceptional artistic talent, but she also wields formidable strength, consistently dominating the top ranks of the Spiral Abyss. However, her noble lineage has brought her enduring troubles, forcing her to armor her heart with "unyielding ice." The true nature of Eula is known to only a very few, but starting today, you will come to know it as well.

1. The Sinful Bloodline

A long, long time ago, after Barbatos triumphed over and over and overthrew the tyrannical God King, establishing the new Mondstadt, he chose to depart, unwilling to interfere in human lives due to his belief in "freedom." He never imagined that the mortals, having gained their freedom, would give rise to human tyrants of their own. The nobles brutally ruled over Mondstadt, introducing slavery to the land, utterly disregarding the plight of the oppressed common folk.

Among all the noble families, the Gunnhildr family, the Lawrence family, and the Imunlaukr family were the first to follow Barbatos in the rebellion and later became the main forces ruling Mondstadt. The Lawrence family was the most powerful among them, yet it was also the most evil, brutal, and the one that oppressed the people the most. Therefore, almost every citizen of Mondstadt loathed the surname "Lawrence." This hatred has endured for over a thousand years, and their notoriety has taken root in the hearts of every Mondstadter.

After wandering for 1600 years, Barbatos finally returned to Mondstadt, the once City of Freedom. However, he heard the cries for help from Vennessa, an enslaved girl. Determined to understand what had transpired in Mondstadt over the past millennium, Barbatos discovered that the entire region had long suffered under the tyranny of the aristocracy, and the political system had become irredeemably corrupt. Enraged, he joined forces with Vennessa to ignite a revolution to overthrow the nobility. In the end, they nearly eradicated all noble forces, restoring freedom to the people once more.

Turning our gaze to today's protagonist, Eula, the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family. From the moment Eula became aware of her surroundings, she could sense the attitudes and gazes of the people around her. No one in Mondstadt liked the "Lawrence" family, and it was a deep-seated aversion and fear that emanated from their hearts. This fear stemmed from the psychological shadow cast over the masses for a millennium, a shadow that might never dissipate. Our poor little Eula thus innocently became the embodiment of "evil" in people's minds, unwelcome wherever she went.

In front of others, Eula often speaks of "vengeance," making people fear her to some extent. Of course, such "intimidation" does indeed reduce a lot of trouble, as ordinary people certainly wouldn't want to provoke someone perceived as a villain. But would Eula truly seek revenge on Mondstadt? For the past glory of the Lawrence family? Or for the grievances she has accumulated over the years?

2. Exceptional talent

Those who possess a Vision are no ordinary individuals. While it is said that strong determination is the key to being granted a Vision by the gods, most Vision bearers also possess exceptional talents. Eula is gifted in many ways, and had she been born during the era of aristocratic rule, she would undoubtedly have become a queen-like figure. However, times have changed, and now Eula Lawrence aspires only to be a warrior, fighting for Mondstadt.

2.1 Combat Talent

When Eula joined the Knights of Favonius, it caused a sensation throughout Mondstadt. Ordinary citizens wrote petitions demanding the Knights revoke her admission, while members of the Lawrence family caused a scene at the Knights' headquarters (as, apart from Eula, the rest of the Lawrence family still saw themselves as descendants of rulers and could not accept Eula fighting for the common folk). However, Grand Master Varka and the Knights stood firm, quelling the conflict.

Whether it's swordsmanship, physical prowess, or strategic tactics, Eula is undoubtedly one of the top figures in Mondstadt. The Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius has even compared Eula to Jean, the Grand Master herself. In just a few short years, Eula has risen to become the captain of the Reconnaissance Company. She has led her troops on long patrols, achieving numerous feats, including raiding enemy strongholds, defending against surprise attacks, and many victories against overwhelming odds. Those who once harbored resentment towards her among the Knights have now been won over by her formidable strength and exceptional intelligence.

Eula wields the Lawrence family crest, the "Sigil of Frozen Ice." It is the supreme symbol of the family's martial prowess, representing the unyielding will of the Lawrence clan during Mondstadt's early days-unyielding, noble, unafraid of raging flames, and steadfast in the face of adversity. Over the millennia, only a handful have successfully passed the family's trial. Eula took on the trial at a young age and passed with ease, a true prodigy. However, her talents found no outlet, as no one was willing to give a chance to someone seen as an embodiment of evil. People despised the Lawrence family and feared their potential resurgence. It wasn't until the Knights of Favonius extended an olive branch to Eula that she found her place.

2.2 Artistic Talent

As the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, despite the family's decline, Eula was still raised with the traditions of nobility, including etiquette and the arts, which the old aristocracy regarded as the "second soul." Eula possesses exceptional talent in the arts, capable of performing the "Dance of Sacrifice" with unparalleled perfection. It is worth noting that the "Dance of Sacrifice" is hailed by the nobility as the "most radiant gem atop the scepter," a testament to its difficulty. Not only that, the Eula figure perfectly showcases her elegance and nobility, making it a favorite among travelers.

Eula Figure

Today, Eula may seem entirely disconnected from the arts. To onlookers, the title of "Spindrift Knight" hardly conjures images of dance. Yet, the essence of artistry unique to dance, the ineffable beauty of rhythm and tempo, flows seamlessly through Eula's swordsmanship. As her claymore swings open and closes, her distinctive and elegant posture always resembles a dance under the moonlight-distant, flawless, and unattainably sublime.

2.3 The Fears of the World

The people of Mondstadt hate the Lawrence family, yet they also fear them, dreading their possible comeback. Why this fear? The most crucial factor is their outstanding natural endowments and excellent education. These enable the members of the Lawrence family to possess extraordinary abilities. This is precisely why, despite the family's decline, it still exists to this day. Because they can achieve remarkable results in various fields.

Eula is the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family. She is extremely talented and should have shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family business. However, due to differences in beliefs, she was reluctant to associate with her family members. Shortly after being bestowed with the "Mark of the Frostflake," she left the family with this honor, and since then, her contact with the family has been scarce.

After joining the Knights of Favonius, she has repeatedly achieved remarkable military feats. Nevertheless, this has made people even more worried, fearing that one day she might turn against them. Without the support of her family and the favor of the people, Eula would probably not have been able to establish herself in Mondstadt if it weren't for the high-level trust of the Knights of Favonius and the full-fledged assistance from others.

3. Innate Goodness

The people of Mondstadt firmly believe that the "Lawrence family" represents evil. Indeed, many descendants of the Lawrence family look down upon the common people, which is, of course, related to their upbringing. Little Eula grew up in such a family environment but didn't become one of those who fit the family's stereotype. Why is that? There is only one explanation: She has an innately pure and kind nature, remaining untainted despite the adverse surroundings.

From a young age, the intelligent and kind - hearted Eula noticed the glances from the people of Mondstadt and the problems within her family members. Through continuous reflection, she chose her own code of conduct.

How should one fight to break away from the burdensome bloodline? With such questions in mind, after leaving her family, Eula apprenticed herself to an experienced old scout knight. From her teacher, she learned an unprecedented sense of open - mindedness and down - to - earth perseverance. Her teacher was Amber's grandfather. It was during the learning process that Eula developed a deep bond with Amber, who was equally kind - natured. This also set the stage for the stories that followed. It can be said that Amber and her grandfather were Eula's benefactors.

Although Amber's grandfather left without saying goodbye for some reasons, Eula not only learned combat experience from this old scout knight but also found the answers, discovering how to survive. That is, taking "oneself" as the core, not being influenced by the bloodline, disregarding the attitudes of the world, and doing what one believes is right. Even if it is "revenge," it should not change one's kind nature. Of course, one must protect themselves. The moment Eula found this gentle path of hatred, the Vision quietly emerged.

4. Intimate Friend

When Eula received the summons from the Knights of Favonius, she was unsure whether to be delighted or to remain composed, as it felt too good to be true, like a dream. She knew that if the Knights couldn't withstand the pressure from all the people of Mondstadt, she would be expelled from the order. Moreover, due to their inflated sense of pride, the members of the Lawrence family would never approve of her joining the Knights of Favonius either.

To her surprise, the senior members of the Knights showed such a firm and resolute attitude. This deeply touched Eula, and she secretly made up her mind that she would repay this trust with her own efforts.

As everyone knows, in just a few years, whether in battles or daily tasks, Eula's performance can be described in one word: perfect. Such outstanding performance has won her the trust and support of the entire Knights of Favonius. However, for the common people of Mondstadt, they only feel more terrified. The reason is that she bears the surname Lawrence, and they fear that she could turn into an enemy of Mondstadt at any time. Therefore, no matter how remarkable Eula's military achievements are, they fail to change the people's views of her. This is reflected in every aspect of daily life. Fortunately, there is Amber.

Ever since getting acquainted with Eula, Amber, who was feeling down at that time, finally found a companion. Compared to the taciturn Eula who was not good at socializing, Amber was much more lively. Amber's grandfather also encouraged her to interact more with Eula, as both were kind - hearted yet lonely girls. They hit it off immediately. Amber now had a listener who didn't find her noisy, and Eula met a peer who held no prejudice against her. However, what Eula might not know is that Amber once secretly saw her dancing alone under the moon. The pure and solitary beauty of that scene stirred a strong sense of protectiveness in Amber.

Ever since then, Amber has been more proactive in helping Eula integrate into Mondstadt. Whenever the likeable Amber is around, shopkeepers, out of consideration for her, will sell goods to Eula at regular prices. If they're in a good mood, they'll even chat casually with the two of them. Every time this happens, Eula presents the most proper social image.

Because of this, kind - hearted Amber often accompanies Eula when she goes out. She even runs errands for Eula, delivering the necessary supplies directly to her home. As for the various achievements of the Reconnaissance Captain (Eula) in battles outside, Amber usually conveys these to the common people. When people hear about Eula's numerous accomplishments, they can't help but let out small exclamations of surprise.

Perhaps it was Amber's unwavering efforts that changed the prejudices ingrained by history, or perhaps Eula's achievements as a knight overcame the fear that had persisted in the hearts of Mondstadt's residents for years. In recent years, Eula's life has indeed undergone changes. Most of the residents no longer show obvious hostility towards her, and the members of the Knights of Favonius have been impressed by her abilities in successive battles. Behind these changes, the one who has worked the hardest and is the happiest is undoubtedly Amber. After all, they had known each other long before Eula joined the Knights of Favonius. She has always had full trust in this apprentice personally trained by her grandfather.

Eula's legend continues, and the enthusiasm of her fans is surely bound to thaw her icy heart. If you also support Eula as always, please keep an eye on articles and related merchandise about her!
