Furina: The tragedy hidden in plain sight (Genshin Character Analysis) 

Imagine Furina hearing Focalors' final message telling her to live happily after her mission just completely failed. Must've been another stab in the heart finally hearing 'mirror-me' again and it had to be after she failed her.

It's amazing how we learn that SHE was once the archon, but Focalors separated her "divinity" from her body and spirit, basically pulling an Ei, sealing herself away in the Oratrice AND having Furina being the puppet role to fool the celestial gods for her plan to work. But Furina is different from the Raiden Shogun, as in, Focalors leaving her body causes Furina to become a separate being from her, Focalors describing her as "Naïve as her first day of becoming human" and giving her the name, "Furina". Ultimately, Furina is also Focalors ultimate wish, her desire to live out her days as human, which every original Oceanid desired under Egeria, but the role was forced upon her after Egeria died in Sumeru's Tunigi Hollow. But what Focalors did to her human half was cruel, but she knew Furina could do it and we see her successfully do it for 500 years. Honestly, I want a Character Story 2, where Furina touches upon her feelings of "Mirror Me" aka Focalors. Because Neuvillette has said he told her everything before she left, so Furina who Focalors is and her origins.

Furina's sacrifice is literally worse than death

This video truly highlights how Furina is truly the archon of all time and I don't think Murata or the Tsarista will top her tradgedy and complexity but will shine in their own way. The Tsarista is already has some depth in how she was before and after the cataclysm and I'm curious about what aspects of war Murata values or perhaps she's in a war to end the civil wars. And my personal headcanon for as to why the people don't know the real story is probably due to Furina herself. In her voiceline about Charlotte she explicitly states she doesn't want an interview even as Charlotte states she just wants the public to know the real her and she clearly wants that but she's tired of the spotlight and probably believes that she'll still be rejected even if the truth comes out. People will still resent her for not being able to save the people of Poisson because thats just how people are when they believe something even when the truth says its false. Heck there are probably people who deeply resent Furina for lying to them about being their archon for centuries. Furina has observed humanity just as long as Neuvillette and understands that there are just somethings that the truth cannot fix but the truth still needs to come out one day so time can heal those wounds. Hopefully Furina's 2nd story quest will center around Furina finally allowing Fontaine to tell the true story of Focalors and Furina. Whether its through another play or a interview with the steambird we'll see. And as for the 2nd weekly boss of Fontaine, I'm betting we'll get that from Neuvillette's 2nd story quest this time since he's the one in charge of protecting Fontaine and Furina has no reason to seek out whatever monster we're supposed to fight because she's made it clear she has no combat capabilities whatsoever and is a regular civilian now. And the 'im huffing copium' bet is that if they want to maintain the Archons unlocking weekly bosses, then maybe Venti's 2nd story quest will finally be released from Da Wei's office Good Vid, sorry for my long tangents

Why did they have her say "The prophecy was wrong" at the end instead of at least saying "I did it" to at the least acknowledge herself. That is the biggest thing that bothers me.

This was as beautiful as it is tragic

Well said, you are much appreciated!
