[UPDATE FOR NEW CHARACTERS] The Marechausse Hunters train their whole lives to effectively kill monsters. When Clorinde completed her training, she decided instead to battle lawbreakers in lieu of beasts. Furthermore, while off duty she becomes an intense lover of tapletop RPGs. (+Expectations-) Sethos lives many lives, never wanting to settle on just one. Leader of the Temple of Silence, ordinary citizen, socialite of the Akademiya, part-time desert guide. They are all equally valid to the young man and he would have it no other way. (+Expectations-)
Sara's is a bit... oversimplified... she feels indebted to the Raiden Shogun because the believes she saved her life when she was falling to her death after protecting the mountain her Tengu Clan lives on from monsters or other youkai, and being given a Vision Sara thought it meant the Shogun had big expectations of her. She's taking her dedication and worship to an absurd extreme though, but she's not just an otaku/simp.
Fully agree with the theory of electro users being people who defy societal and cultural norms/expectations. I also think this goes hand in hand with them sharing the theme of isolation and loneliness, whether it be literal (ei lmao) or metaphorically, even in their own demographic (Fischl and Razor especially who have no one they relate to due to their uniqueness). Would also argue it relates back to electro being the element of eternity where all characters yearn for an eternity of some kind, whether it be maintaining the current status quo of the present, striving to achieve an ideal scenario in the future, or mourning the life they once had in the past.
Now we only still have Dendro, Cryo and Geo to go through, I'm excited (I mean after all we're only talking about Vision elements here, right? Unless we're to assume there are some hidden wieldable elements in Teyvat we do not yet know enough about).
honestly if Scylla, the dragon prince dude, can be a whale, so can Kanna Kapatcir be a dragon, so honestly, love her inclusion in this as the supposed electro sovereign
Lightning is the element of abnormality. The wielders of Electro perceive the world as more than a pattern of mundane matters and strives to bring creativity and personality within everything. And like a flash of lightning, it comes when you least expect it.
Sara isn't a fan girl, she reveres the Shogun because she believes the Electro vision she received saved her life. It's a devotion similar to Ganyu's more than Keqing even tho it's played for laughs. I think the better fit for Sara would be that she is this strict general and whatever, but she was childhood friends with Itto, and still cherishes that friendship even though she tries to reject it on the surface, she is either present or mentioned at every Itto-centric event, showing her importance to his character and vice-versa. Additionally, she is also a Tengu in the human world, adopted into a human family (why Itto is so important, as a fellow Youkai, since neither of them fit in either world, and Yae ofc is of a higher station and also older than them both), where she is made to feel as an outcast (forbidden from playing with toys or showing joy, yet she keeps a toy in her pocket - a spinning top - to amuse herself, and again, she does not entirely reject Itto at all despite making a show of doing so. If she truly wished, Itto would already be in far more dire consequences for his constant seeking of her alone, which if it were truly unwanted would amount to stalking, but we know Itto isn't that kind of person and Sara doesn't reject him at all in her heart.) I hope we get to see more of Sara and have a hangout for her that involves Itto. I should also mention Sara has never met Ei personally, she has only dealt with the Raiden Shogun puppet, which is why she asks Yae about Ei's tastes, etc. (Also why the voice lines about her are from the Shogun, and the ones about Yae meant to contrast her are from Ei.) She is, however, a descendant of Sasayuri, who was Ei's Tengu general/possible lover, lost in the war against Orobaxi. As Itto is the descendant of Chiyo, the Oni friend of Ei. And we know Yae is from the same Kitsune 'tribe' as Kitsune Saiguu, the one between two worlds (similar to Ganyu in that she is in the past and present, except unlike Ganyu she isn't conflicted about her place in the world, hence no Cryo vision.) I do wonder if she could be a secret child they had together though that veers a bit more into fanfic, though it would explain both why Sara works so well with Ei and also why she was "saved" by her (via Electro vision.) Also the purple hair considering Sasayuri's was completely black, but this last bit is more fanciful, I bring it up however because it was Ei's most dramatic reaction aside from losing Makoto to date, despite losing Saiguu and Chiyo in the same battle, at least as far as we know, Ei didn't leave any permanent marks on Khaenriah, and her mowing down Chiyo was not really personal (Chiyo attacked first.) She went all-out against Orobaxi and Watatsumi after Sasayuri died, so much so that Yashiori Island split into two. That is crazy strong, and a bit overkill for targeting a relatively weak god. Guyun seals a ton of dead gods, and yet it doesn't look anywhere as busted, certainly not dangerous despite Morax being as strong as he is, unlike the toaster bath in Yashiori. We do also know Ei has a tendency to abandon children lmao. And we know Hoyo does sometimes show characters being related through design, like Jean and Barbara, Lyney and Lynette, etc. (In this case, the hair, and both being generals.) That last one is more fun to think about than a serious analysis of Sara, but everything before that stands.
The Shouki no Kami was an artificial puppet who was more human than anyone, and his strong human emotions made him choose the shell of an ego-less, artificial god.
Please keep making those vision videos, i love them so much TwT Your analysis is very accurate and easy to understand and your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Instant sub from me
@@FaerietaleGoober Razor = dog. Cyno = dog. Sethos = dog. All Electro males are dogs meant to bark for the Electro females who are the embodiment of segs.
She lives in a fake body inside a fake body and lets the outer fake body rule Inazuma while she sits around. She rejects the path the world has laid out for her.
@@aetervespernoxch.6697 to add a note, I'd say she moreso rejects the concept of Erosion, which much older archons than herself have simply accepted (I'm kinda assuming on Venti's part, but Zhongli has explicitly said as much). To put it simply, she rejects death and transience, and seeks immortality for both herself and her nation of Inazuma.
