THE TSARITSA AND A SILLY THEORY
So I've recently gotten into Genshin Impact. Go ahead and cringe if you wish I'll give you a moment.
Anyway, I started having a growing fascination with Snezhnaya and the Tsaritsa, the latter who is definitely a calculating character right? So of course she knows that there will be those outside of Snezhnaya who will oppose her mission and try to stop her right? Hence I got the silly idea that she names an heir to her title and her duties not just as the next Tsaritsa but as the next Cryo Archon.
This is also just an excuse to introduce you all to my OC, the Tsarevna Snezhana Morosov:
(i used picrew because i am no artist guys)
Snezhana is a 5-star Cryo sword wielder born and raised in Snezhnayan aristocracy.
As a child, Zhana was able to escape the brutal murder of her noble family and flee to Zapolyarny palace with her father's dying vision. The Tsaritsa heard her cries to the Fatui and decided to take her in and name her as her heir.
Zhana grows up to become a version of Snow White, holding an air of innocence and naivete, but she's actually been observing silently and plotting the Tsaritsa's downfall because she know how outlandish her plans of revenge really are. Zhana has grown to learn from her adoptive mother and even become a lot like her despite not sharing blood, which is why she creates the Adventurer's Guild under the guise of uniting Teyvat's adventurers -- her various nannies Katheryne acting as her informants in secret while Zhana roots out the Harbingers.
It's very convoluted and there are some kinks I need to work out, but at the end of the day the Tsaritsa is like "I knew you were doing this all along -- that's why I think you'll make a better archon than me" and somehow the Tsaritsa dies and her power is somehow transferred to Zhana, becoming the new archon.
I thought it would be cool to see the crowning of a new archon in the world of Genshin Impact and figured with the court intrigue and mystery and calculation that went along with the frozen Cryo kingdom, it would only add to the convolution that was Snezhnaya (and yes, Zhana was named after her homeland).
and maybe there's some complicated history between Zhana and Childe.
Thoughts? Opinions? It's going to be a story on my Wattpad so I'll post a link if and when that's up. :)
