#beidou comes in and forgets their names and calls one of them baizhi

[cadriona]

just had a little revelation in regards to ningguang’s three secretaries Baiwen (百闻) Baixiao (百晓) and Baishi (百识) because i play with english subtitles and completely missed this little easter egg.

So, the Bai (百) in each name means “hundred”, which is why I’ve been jokingly referring to them as Ningguang’s “three hundreds“ in my head, lika call back towards the “three whites” of taihu (a lake in china), but as a friend reminded me on discord 百 can also, in this context, mean all or many.

Then, 闻, 晓, and 识 are all forms of “knowing”.

闻 being more of knowing by hearing/hearing of, 晓 being understanding(?) or some form of it, and 识 being knowing as in understanding/seeing the truth of an individual, or a more person-orientated knowing.

(Please note my cn is still rather flawed, so i may be missing some points)

So, Ningguang has her three secretaries, Lady Tianquan who’s information network probably spans all of teyvat or something has three secretaries basically all named some variation of all-knowing.

...imagine having triplets and naming them this tho lmao
