I desperately need to talk about Vilina and her relationship with the Hexenzirkel and RE EXPLAIN HER LORE HERE IDGAF.
Vylna (Vilina) Nastya Perelesnyk, or better known as Mage ‘V’, is… quite a figure to say the least… her specialty, believe it or not, is ‘Decay’.
Her family has roots going back to Khaenri’ah, but how is she still here you may ask? She’s a half-blood, how is she not a Hilichurl? Well, when the cataclysm happened 500 years ago, Celestia decided on a small rule. A small price for all the destruction: leave one hint of forbidden knowledge in the hands of one person, who shall live to see the future outside of Khaenri’ah, cursed with the most horrid curse of all:
Burden.
To carry such heavy responsibility… who shall be cursed with that much knowledge? Either way, Celestia and the Heavenly Principles would reach them one way or another.
One family escaped with a few strings adjusted from the gods themselves, and managed to find asylum in an island near Snezhnaya-Nod Krai.
As more and more time passed, the gods had chosen their target. A young infant, born to the changed name of Perelesnyk, with the lightest of blue eyes one can only find in a kingdom long gone… they named her Vylna, a name from old folklore that referred to nymphs of forests and storms. Perhaps, she’d master the cold on her own.
But alas, when you are cursed by even the gods above, you’d learn to stay cautious in your life. Ever heard of “curiosity killed the cat?”. Dearest Vylna, your first mistake was being curious in the first place, avoiding the same caution taught to you.
Her curse was triggered the moment she decided to step into some ruins near Nod-Krai, finding ancient writing she couldn’t understand. The more she tried to decipher it, the closer she got to a catastrophe upon her blood line. But how should she know? A child of this age is only curious by nature.
But… not really the best sight to see after you’ve deciphered the writings on the wall.
“More to what you see.”
Coming to see no home. No village. No island. Celestia had struck. The gods… completed their punishment. No mother to go home to, to hug and to let her read you stories you dreamt of nightly. No father to pick you up once more and pretend you were on top of the world. No more sister you could fight over toys with. No more friends. All of it, gone.
— Resolution.
And answer. An event. That’s all it took to trigger the vision. Cryo… adorned with silver along the edges, given to the grieving little girl almost as an insult. An insult from the gods. A mockery. “See? This is what happens to those who meddle with forbidden knowledge.”
But for dearest Vylna, this was only the beginning of a silent war. If her mistake was being curious, then the heavens mistake was thinking they could ever commit something like this with no consequence. And she’d do everything to show that.

Blah blah blah she found the Nox Magica aka an ANCIENTTTTT Khaenri’ahn spell book containing a shit ton of forbidden knowledge, went to meet Dain, god forbid they have a divorced wife and husband relationship, she betrayed him, because at the end of the day she’s only fighting for one thing and that’s facing the heavenly principles

Joins Hexenzirkel because she’s recruited, absolutely fucking HATES Rheindottir and argues with her constantly and leaves after a LONG while and now TWO more goals are added:
Open the gate of Khaenri’ah in Sumeru.
Find the second gate in Fontaine.
Open the gate of Khaenri’ah in Sumeru.
Find the second gate in Fontaine.
And TRUST me this woman is relentless she will get what she wants. She removed her entire being and name and everything from the irminsul manually without the knowledge of Nahida. Yet people still know her… how? A little help here and there…. And a strong connection to Teyvat. Teyvats “laws” do not affect her in any way since she is a paradox. She was supposed to die with her family, but survived due to sheer will power and help from Alice. This woman KNOWS shit. she has a whole book of forbidden knowledge for gods sake

But unlike that stupid FUCKING ATTENTION SEEKING WHORE RHIENDOTTIR, she will NOT sell herself to become a shade or some BULLSHIT imagine being a sinner AND a shade FUCK YOU

✶ everything goes.

Me explaining how Vilina could take on Descender Traveler because unlike them who has a copy aka their twin that’s already been here and has been spotted by the heavenly principles, she’s pulling a Furina.
Tbh I feel like bbno$ is joking about quitting and he wouldn’t actually - but I’ve never understood the hate surrounding him. His songs aren’t even that bad??
