Profile

“In Liyue, rock and roll is a new art form, and Xinyan is the pioneer. Through the music and the passion of his songs, he criticizes the prejudices of society, trying to shake the conformist spirit of the people. If you have the opportunity, do not miss one of their concerts. »

~ Description on the official website

Appearance

Xinyan has brown skin, amber eyes, and dark brown hair, which she wears in two ponytails with spiked ribbons. One strand in the front of her hair is dark red, and in her pigtails, the underside of some strands is bright orange.

Xinyan wears a black-brown tank top and white shorts, with a red and white vest with red, black, and white flared sleeves. She has a black and red ribbon tied around her right leg and a fishnet sock on the left. Xinyan normally wears a square white, brown, and red ruan with an ax-shaped bottom.

Personality

Xinyan is a fan of rock 'n' roll and returned to Liyue to spread it across the nation. Despite struggling to improve his reputation for many reasons, he remains undaunted and continues to play, thanking everyone who comes to his performances. She has no formal training for her music, having learned it on the fly. As such, you are very supportive of other people who show interest, even if they are inexperienced.

His Pyro Vision gives him a fiery personality. She likes to stand out in her own way, but does not like others to consider her strange and / or scary because of the way she speaks and how she looks. Although she is aware of this and tries to fix it, her attempts always end in failure.

History

Rock and roll originated in Fontaine and is now beginning to find its way into Liyue. In this sense, Xinyan is a pioneer of this music.

Every night she hangs the instrument she has made around her neck, gets on a stage built by herself and plays songs composed by herself for her entire audience.

Her music is just like her: bold, defiant, loud, and proud.

She is not the best rocker in the world at all, but her loyal fans are always enjoying themselves with her, venting their stress and the problems of the day.

In the heat of the moment, the fire that gushes forth from Xinyan's Vision turns night into day.

"She is a true rock and roll genius, and a master when it comes to creating a good atmosphere," comments "Steam Bird" magazine about her skills.

Living in Liyue is expensive, and it is even more difficult to maintain a good standard of living. But, as Xinyan often tells those who worry about such worldly matters:

"You just have to put rock and roll to life."

Character story 1

Xinyan never follows the rules and traditions, so he can use anything as his instrument.

The columns of the stage, the wooden planks of the floor, the cheers and screams of the audience, the explosions and sparks created by his Vision ... All of these are the instruments with which he brings his performance to life.

The makeshift stages he sets up usually start to burn after the halfway point of his performances, until all that's left is a heap of smoldering coal.

After many warnings, the Geo-Navy was forced to reinforce its patrols and find ways to prevent Xinyan from acting.

In this battle of wits, Xinyan usually gets his way.

He always finds a place to perform, set up a stage at terrifying speed, and kick off a bustling night with his audience.

Rumor has it on the streets of Liyue that many Geo-Navy soldiers were infected with the "spirit of rock and roll" during their patrol, after which they became loyal supporters of Xinyan.

Xinyan found out about the patrol plans of these "rock-friendly" soldiers and thus prevented them from discovering her. Finally, the Geo-Navy, tired of never getting anything and with no evidence that anyone had been hurt from any Xinyan performance, began to turn a blind eye to their performances.

Character story 2

Xinyan is tall, dark-skinned, and has extremely keen eyesight. To stay in a state of mind in line with her music, she is always dressed and made up like at her concerts.

Therefore, when her followers see her on the street, they always think that she is a ferocious person, like a bully who roams the streets.

When you line up to eat somewhere, people always make way for you in fear.

If his gaze meets that of a small child, it will cause him to run crying after his parents.

Although she never does anything wrong, people often accuse her of things she hasn't done just because, according to some, her fierce appearance makes her look like a bad person.

Xinyan doesn't care what others think of her, but she does think that scaring and causing trouble for others is not a good thing, so she is always thinking of ways to change.

For a while every morning, she would look in the mirror and massage her face with her fingers to stretch and relax her eyes a bit.

He even practiced his smile and studied graceful verbal and facial expressions.

After a lot of practice, he once came across a group of children who were teasing another child, "without thinking, he went to rescue him. She smiled at the little boy in a way that she thought was friendly, and patted him on the head in a way that she thought was gentle. In fact, the boy calmed down ...

Or, to be more precise, the boy just stood there motionless, urine dripping from his pants.

The bully kids also quickly fled while shouting in terror:

"Run! Run! The angry lady has been transformed into a child-eating ghost!"

"Who are you calling 'ma'am'? And besides, who are you calling 'ghost'? Huh?"

When he shouted that phrase, all the work he had done was wasted.

Character story 3

Xinyan judges all things with a single criterion: "Is it rock and roll or not?"

Everything that is fair, such as defending the defenseless or taking on challenges, is rock and roll, and everything that is reprehensible, such as fearing the evil people, oppressing the good ones.

people, playing dirty or conspiring, it is not rock and roll.

Rock embodies the spirit of rebellion and resistance, while immoral acts are not rock and roll.

The decision of what that is not rock and roll is unique and exclusive to Xinyan, and that decision is based on how things unfold or his state of mind.

Now, the connotations of being or not being "rock and roll" are very clear.

The only problem is that the criteria for deciding it sound a bit strange in certain contexts.

Due to his fierce appearance, Xinyan has almost no friends.

Xiangling, the chef at Wanmin Restaurant, is one of the few people she can talk to more freely.

There is a special reason why Xinyan goes to Wanmin Restaurant: to seek musical inspiration.

Whenever Xiangling researches and tries new recipes, people often run away, but that is not the case with Xinyan. She eats Xiangling's experimental recipes with relish, the flavors of which, by causing a never-before-seen explosion of flavors to her taste buds, bring inspiration to her.

"Xiangling, you've done it again. This dish is pure rock and roll!

Although, for Xinyan, this is the highest of praise, Xiangling doesn't quite know how to feel when listening to it ...

Character story 4

The most constant theme in rock and roll is resistance.

But what Xinyan resists against is not a concrete thing, but rather the shackles of the concept of "prejudice".

She was born into a poor family and her parents placed high hopes on her, giving her what little they had in the hope that she could become "a phoenix rising from the ashes."

However, this "phoenix" could not be anything, but would have to look like what her parents expected of her.

But things don't always go according to plan. Xinyan grew up, she was taller than most girls and her looks were far from being considered "cute".

Nor was she good at any of the tasks traditionally associated with women, such as cooking, housework, sewing ...

So since her childhood was so deeply marked by prejudice, Xinyan understands how terribly harsh prejudice can be.

Still, becoming a rock star hasn't made her give up on all those chores.

This is not only because he hates to lose, but because he believes that "the only ones who give up are those who have no talent," which, curiously, is itself a prejudice.

Not long ago, Xinyan invited a fan of his named Yunjin to his home.

If it hadn't been Xinyan who opened the door, Yunjin would have thought that he was in the wrong house.

The house was immaculate: the windows were clean and the decoration was all handmade and perfectly placed.

The kitchen was still hot, indicating that someone had been cooking recently, and there was a half-sewn handkerchief next to the bed, which closely resembled the decorative patterns on the clothes Xinyan wore at her concerts.

It looked like the house of the typical woman who takes care of all the housework. There was no sign of rock and roll there!

Xinyan was concerned that his admirer had a very different idea of ​​what a rock star should be like.

However, to his surprise, Yunjin supported Xinyan even more fervently ever since.

Character story 5

According to Xinyan, many adults do not realize their potential because their eyesight is clouded by their prejudices, which cause fear and concern.

They do not understand what life is, nor do they know where they are going.

Xinyan includes these ideas in the lyrics of his songs. However, he only receives criticism and ridicule from adults.

"What will that immature girl know?"

But Xinyan is not affected by these comments, as he knows that they are due to people's prejudices regarding his age.

And it is that if it were so easy to end prejudices, fighting against them would not be worth it.

For her, rock is like a small seed that, at least, will germinate in the hearts of two or three people after one of her concerts.

Who knows? Perhaps, when they wake up the next day, these people feel inspired or their way of seeing things has changed.

Even if they only change a little, it may be enough for them to realize that their problems are not really as bad as they think.

Unfortunately, except for Xinyan audiences or "rock friends", hardly anyone thinks that this is a merit of rock and roll.

Even so, there is a phrase that is repeated a lot during tea hours:

"That there is a woman who plays rock and roll is a good thing, don't you think?"

The instrument of Xinyan

Xinyan's main instrument is a handmade guitar with a very unique design. To make it, he drew inspiration from Fontaine's original rock and roll instruments and then modified it according to his own taste and judgment.

For example, he attached a crescent-shaped ax blade to the tail end of the instrument so that it could serve as a weapon in a pinch.

He also connected it to his Vision, allowing him to use it to summon sparks and flames. Its internal components can also launch flames, and it has a self-destruct mechanism just in case it falls into the wrong hands.

The list of modifications does not end here, but these are too numerous to explain them all.

His instrument is therefore unique, and so is the music that can be played on it.

Are you thinking that "these modifications have nothing to do with music"?

If so, you should go to a Xinyan concert. Surely, then, you will understand.

Vision

Xinyan is a person who has never fit in with Liyue. The only time he didn't feel out of place was when he discovered rock and roll.

But, since he lived in a region where this music had no place, he needed to attract enough attention.

Xinyan immersed himself in the world of music, looking for a way to move people. He broke many instruments and played until calluses appeared on both hands, but still he didn't get what he wanted.

"Does anyone really like to hear this ruckus?"

The harsh criticism she received was beginning to affect her, to the point that she began to wonder if she should quit rock.

Sitting at the top of the Tianheng Mountain Range, she looked towards Liyue, where the lights lit up the streets and alleys of the harbor, but were unable to ignite the flame of rock and roll.

So he considered whether he should go somewhere where people would appreciate his music. However, wouldn't that be running away? Wouldn't that be a betrayal of rock's spirit of resistance?

No, Xinyan couldn't leave. She was determined to become the "flame" that would illuminate all of Liyue.

He began to experiment with the use of fire to excite his audience, using sparks and explosions in his music.

But that was not something so easy to achieve for an ordinary person.

Who knows how many times he burned his fingers or caused his instrument to explode in the air. Even so, he continued to practice every day at the top of the Tianheng Mountain Range.

Perhaps it is that the gods wished this new way of making music to reach all corners of the Seven Nations ... But regardless, the fact that Xinyan received his heated and fervent Vision was, without a doubt, the icing on the cake.

So, he descended down the mountain to kick off his first rock and roll concert in Liyue.

Thus, Xinyan's musical journey began with fire and explosions.
