Genshin Impact Nicole Reeyn: "Angel" with Magical Communication Way

Have you ever wondered how "Nicole Reeyn" can speak inside people's minds? And why, as an angel, did she not transform into a Seelie? The story behind this witch might be even more intriguing than we think. Today, let me guide all Travelers in getting to know this "mysterious" character!

Nicole Reeyn is an angel who has preserved her power and form. Most angels, after the Goddess of the Dawnstar failed to rebel against the Heavenly Principles, were cursed by the enraged Heavenly Principles-if they fell in love with a human, they would lose their divine body and turn into a Seelie. But this was actually the punishment inflicted upon those angels who were affected. Nicole Reeyn, however, was an angel who clearly led Hyperborea, meaning she was one of the masterminds of the rebellion.

For this group of angels, we can learn about the punishment imposed on them by the Heavenly Principles from the young wolf in the "Imaginarium Theater". Because it involves the Heavenly Principles, this is a fairy tale, and the wild boar in the tale refers to the angels. The Heavenly Principles brought out a rusty scale and told the wild boar to place its own things on both sides; if one side of the scale tipped over, it could leave. The wild boar that placed its own brain transformed into a wolf, a lizard, and a snake, retaining only its power, while the wild boar that offered its flesh turned into a rabbit, constantly looking back, instinctively guiding people to find treasures.

According to my understanding, the wild boar that placed its brain likely symbolizes the angels once again accepting the constraints of the Heavenly Principles, essentially returning to their original nature as AI tools; the wild boar that offered its flesh and turned into a rabbit probably signifies losing its own form, appearance, strength, and even wisdom—this is the price the angels paid to retain their emotions.

In Fischl's magic studies, the Seelie instructor "Nine" tells us, "In the past, angels were directly connected to the sky's knowledge repository, possessing the power of the heavens, so their essential nature was indeed that of created AI tools." After the Heavenly Principles reclaimed everything, they could only disperse and become Seelies. Nicole Reeyn is the cleverest wild boar; she placed things evenly on both sides of the scale until the rusty scale broke in the middle. From then on, she became a person who could not speak, because Nicole had placed her voice on the scale as well.

In the story of the weapon Azurelight, the fates of several angels are mentioned. One is destined to trek through the gilded desert for a lifetime, never knowing what the King Deshret and his eyes are-this is the Goddess of Flowers. One is destined to cower in the shadows, with piercing hostility waiting for the tide to rise as promised and unveil the finale of the movement-this is the Golden Bee Sybilla of Remuria. One is destined to wander the dreamlike journey, bearing the stagnation of a foreign land, awaiting an encounter that has not yet come-this is the White Horse Adeptus. And then there is one destined to drift through the moonless night, drinking bitter tears yet unable to restore the withering of kin-I lean towards this referring to Nicole Reeyn. Because in the artifact story of Nightingale's Tail Feather, we learn that the moonless night refers to Nod-Krai. In Skirk's voice line about Nicole, it is mentioned: One wonders what Nicole thought when she witnessed her people destroy themselves.

In Durin's Story Quest, the witches mention that Nicole Reeyn, the Witch of Memory, even misses important Teegesellschaft of the Hexenzirkel to complete her mysterious mission. This mysterious mission is likely to remember those memories related to the angels that have been submerged in history.

In this main storyline, we indeed witnessed Nicole's talkative nature. But it's painful that I really want to hear her talk about the fundamental principles of Teyvat for hours! Now, circling back to the opening topic:

The reason Nicole can speak inside people's minds is simply because she has mastered a high-level method of applying a certain power. For an angel, this power would be Khvarena. After all, angels are essentially the sparks of sudden inspiration that arise in human moments of insight. This method of conveying information is not new to us. Whether it was the Ancient Dragon Sages of Natlan or the whispers from the Abyss to Rerir in the previous version, both were presented in the same text-box format.

Whether it's the power of the Abyss, the Light Realm, or the power of the human world, they are all essentially the same type of particle: the computing element, an atom that can record information. By wielding high-level power, one can directly project information into the mind without needing to use the inefficient method of language. However, this transmission exerts significant mental pressure on the receiver. As observers, we might find it hard to appreciate, thinking Nicole's speech is just one sentence after another, but in reality, it's a massive dump of information all at once into the brain. Especially when you can't stand her chattiness, it's equivalent to an information attack, which is why it gives the protagonist team such a headache.

In this regard, the Greatest of Sages does much better. During quests, information prompts are given intermittently, but the protagonist shows no signs of a headache, indicating that the Greatest of Sages is far less talkative than Nicole. But that's how angels are, because in ancient times, they were originally responsible for teaching humans art and language. As the Greatest of Sages said: "This method of conveying information, if you are willing, can make any intelligent being understand your language.

The Goddess of Flowers' Servant, the Jinni, also inherited this linguistic omniscience from the angels, which is why Liloupar can help us decipher those ancient texts in the desert that we couldn't understand otherwise. The device that Layla accidentally triggered in the last version, which directly transmits information into the brain, likely operates on the same principle. A significant portion of King Deshret's energy technology was developed based on the Divine Nail beneath Mount Damavand. Rene, who has studied these mysterious crystals, believes they share the same properties as Khvarena.

We still know far too little about the angels and these high-level energies. I truly wish Nicole could talk to me for hours about the principles of Teyvat and the history and knowledge hidden in her mind! I can't wait for her to be added to the gacha pool.
