Neuvillette Genshin: Mysterious Chief Justice without Vision

As a character who has been online for a long time, he is an evergreen in character ranking and another character in the plot who can be powerful without the Vision. Let's rationally analyze his setting, personality, words, and heart; he deserves to be known for everything. He is, Neuvillette; let's appreciate his design elements that we haven't discovered together!

When I asked the travelers what their first impressions of Neuvillette were,? Everyone will surely answer: he was so powerful that he directly interrupted Childe's transformation in the courtroom; he was so dignified that he calmed down the riot with a blow of his staff; he was so easy-going that he didn't pretend to be aloof when he first met the travelers; he was so calm and subtle that he didn't forget to pacify the people after the dust of a ten-year-old case had settled; he was a man of knowledge who knew everything, and he had a knowledge of the whole of Tiwat that was far superior to the knowledge of the other people, but he didn't stick to the boundaries of so-called "Heavenly Justice" like The Seven.

1. Character Keywords for Neuvillette

1.1 "Hydro"

As the Chinese saying goes, "The highest excellence is like (that of) water. The excellence of water appears in its benefiting all things and in its occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike."

As the Chief Justice for a hundred years, Neuvillette has always stood between morality and law, giving the most accurate rulings. The people of Fontaine, whether consciously or unconsciously, are almost always more in love with dramatic performances and reversals and even advocate entertainment to the death.

In this environment, Neuvillette was the only one who was truly trusted and embraced by all. His rulings have been identical to those of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analuyse Cardinale for centuries.

And he was always on top of the situation when unexpected events and accidents occurred. Accidents happen on magic show; court hearings are repeatedly interrupted; even for the first time ever, there is an error in the ruling, and Childe suddenly bursts out.

Throughout all this turmoil, Neuvillette has been a constant anchor for the ages, coping with all the ups and downs with aplomb. You can't even see the so-called signs of time wear on the Neuvillette's exterior. Steady, restrained, vast, and delicate-this is Neuvillette.

1.2 "Dragon"

The phrase "Let the mighty be humbled." is inspired by the biblical phrase. "He sees everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride," which is Neuvillette's definitive phrase and the biblical description of Leviathan. As a truly inhuman character, the hint of contrast he embodies in his personality fits his persona perfectly.

He is a being of higher moral standards, far above human intellect and reason, a being who is truly unsympathetic but at the same time willing to empathize with the world. Neuvillette is not a god, and his lack of understanding of the world is not a condescending divinity, nor does he have the character trait of "love of human" that is inscribed in the divine instincts of the continent of Teyvat. For him, mankind is just another creature close to him, and this estrangement explains his absolute objectivity, his rationality born of biological neutrality.

But at the same time, he is willing to understand and empathize with the world. He believes in inner justice and is always willing to reflect on his own perceptions. Interestingly, such a character is often heavily guarded and does not readily reveal his innermost feelings. As "Light Rain Falls Without Reason", "Light Rain" is not just a dragon's tear in the Fontaine legend. It is a delicate expression of emotion, a kind of goodness that is "not human but loves human" and "not God but loves God".

1.3 "Sovereign"

Neuvillette also has a "Sovereign" side to him, as he is faced with the decision of the court of justice while pondering his own moral justice, as well as the sometimes playful and sometimes serious demands of Hydro Archon. He often accommodates Furina's caprices. But when it comes to serious accusations, he will turn them into a fuse for the pursuit of truth in the courtroom.

Thus, Fontaine, in spite of its idle populace and its Hydro Archon who, when inspired, makes the "show" even more intense, can still maintain justice under the statute. The justice of the law is still maintained. Fortunately, the not-so-serious-looking Furina is always the archon who follows the rules.

2. Appearance Design of Neuvillette

Neuvillette's tentacle-like hair band on his head and fluttering skirt emphasize the character of his "Hydro Dragon Sovereign" status.

The most conspicuous is undoubtedly the decoration and the neckerchief, which symbolizes the trial by law. The design of this scarf is probably inspired by the baroque male ornament "Jabot". A character with a similar costume is the "Miles Edgeworth" from Gyakuten Saiban. I must say that these two characters have a lot of similarities: as court officials with delicate hearts, they have their own judgment and understanding of justice, as well as what they consider to be "superfluous emotions".

Finally, the cane he carries serves as an artifact of status and position. The cane is often associated with the priesthood, judgment, magic, and the elements. As a symbol of the English gentleman of the past, the cane also reveals its owner's nobility and elegance. Like Welt Yang in Honkai: Star Rail, they are reliable and secure adults.

As Neuvillette's birthday crept by the other day, many travelers were reminded anew of the "Hydro Dragon Sovereign", and new travelers learned more about him. Yet there are still some questions waiting to be answered in future stories about this Chief Justice. We are sure that travelers who love Neuvillette will be very much looking forward to it, and we will have more new merchandises about Neuvillette as soon as possible!
