(pt. 2 here)
Thoma Rothschild
he/him
25
Transgender Man, Bisexual
Dating Kamisato Ayato
Family: Sayu (FF Sister)
Best Friend: Kamisato Ayato
The surname I gave him, Rothschild, is a German surname that means "red shield."
Was best friends with Kaeya and Diluc as a kid. His mom worked at the Dawn Winery and even lived in one of the cottages there, so he was very close to them.
Sees Sayu as a little sister. He gives her food all the time, and even makes sure that the bedding in her favorite napping spots is clean and comfy.
He still teaches that cleaning class, but it's turned into more of a life skills class. He teaches people of all ages how to cook, clean, do laundry, count mora, buy things, book appointments, pay taxes...things like that. His class has a lot of teenagers in it now, since they have no idea how to pay taxes or bills and are gonna have to worry about it soon.
He's literally in love with Ayato it's ridiculous. His receiving love language is words of affirmation, and Ayato praises him ALL THE TIME.
His giving love language is acts of service, so he doesn't mind doing things for Ayato at all. Plus, his pay is amazing and he gets free housing.
Literally a big puppy. Always excited to help, extremely loyal, follows you around wherever you go, protects his loved ones, beloved by all...I love Thoma.
Thoma has braces on his arms. He lifts a lot of boxes, so his arms start to ache. That being said, Thoma is incredibly strong. He's pretty well built, and even acts as the Kamisatos' personal trainer.
He has PTSD. He fell overboard when he was visiting Inazuma. He has a terrible fear of the ocean and refuses to ride boats. He also gets seasick super easily. That's also part of the reason that he has an aversion to alcohol, since he was bringing wine to his father when he went overboard.
He also has ADHD. He always has to be doing something with his hands. Everything in the Kamisato estate has to be organized in a certain way or he'll get upset. (he just like me fr)
Hangs out with Itto a lot! Thoma taught Itto how to play chess, and Itto taught Thoma how to battle with Onikabutos :)
Kamisato Ayato
he/him
27
Cisgender Man, Gay
Dating Thoma Rothschild
Family: Kamisato Ayaka (Sister), Sayu (FF Sister)
Best Friend: Thoma
His love language is physical touch fr. Giving AND receiving. He loves getting hugs from Thoma since he's so damn warm. He gets hugs from Thoma when he's stressed.
Very light sleeper. Thoma soundproofed his room and bought him soundproof ear plugs, but he still wakes up at the slightest noise.
Gets super anxious when lying alone in bed. He wonders if Ayaka and Thoma are okay, if they're still alive, if something happened while he was trying to fall asleep. The sound of Thoma's breathing and the feeling of his heartbeat calms him down, though. Sleepy Thoma is white noise to Ayato. It helps him sleep.
He's tried to learn how to cook by watching Thoma, but why does he need to when Thoma's the best chef in all of Teyvat? (in Ayato's eyes, at least)
Plays cards with Itto all the time...and always wins. Loves hanging out with him due to the chaos that he brings everywhere. He even pays to bail him out of prison sometimes, giving the money to Shinobu as an "anonymous donation to the gang."
He's a bit autistic. He has a collection of dried flowers from all over Teyvat, as well as multiple books of all known dog breeds. He can tell you the common and scientific name of a flower just by looking at it, and knows everything there is about dogs.
He zones out at Tri-Comission meetings, especially since Kokomi has recently joined them to discuss diplomatic relations between Narukami and Watatsumi. He's very aware that Sara and Kokomi are secretly flirting by the way they speak to each other, so he just zones out until they actually start to talk business.
He has POTS, as well as chronic pain. Thoma has to accompany him to all of his meetings to ensure he doesn't pass out.
Kamisato Ayaka
she/her
21
Transgender Woman, Bisexual
Dating Naganohara Yoimiya
Family: Kamisato Ayato (Brother), Sayu (FF Sister)
Best Friend: Traveler
She's a makeup girlie to me so I gave her some. It's light, but it's there.
She often sneaks out of the Kamisato estate under the alias of Hiramatsu Fusae. She lets her hair down, does her makeup to change her face, and puts on some cheaper clothes. Fusae is a girl from Borou Village who is exploring beyond Watatsumi for the first time. Ayato knows about this, and doesn't do anything to stop her. In fact, he buys her outfits and makeup to help with this goal.
She first met Yoimiya as Fusae, but quickly told her who she really was when she realized she could trust her. From then on, the Naganoharas have been very close with the Kamisato Clan.
She buys clothes for Yoimiya all the time. Her love language is acts of service and giving gifts, so buying things for Yoimiya makes her extremely happy. In return, Yoimiya takes her to all kinds of firework shows, even making custom fireworks.
When she came out as trans, she chose the name Ayaka so she could match with her big brother.
Arataki Itto
he/they/she
26
Genderfluid, Bisexual
Dating Gorou
Family: Granny Oni (Grandmother), Kuki Shinobu (FF Sister), Akira (FF Brother), Genta (FF Brother), Mamoru (FF Brother), Takuya (FF Brother)
Best Friend: Naganohara Yoimiya
He's super tall and super buff. Using Kaeya (6'1") as a reference, he's about 7'2" in my head. That's about 2.184 meters for all you non-Americans out there. He's the only character I'll give a numbered height to because he SHOULD'VE BEEN BIGGER.
anyways uh
He goes to Watatsumi Island with Shinobu a lot. He spends the whole day with Gorou, being silly and hanging out. He tries to impress Gorou by picking up random heavy objects. It's never really that impressive, since Gorou's seen him do it so many times, but it's the thought that counts, y'know?
Itto and Yoimiya have competitions to see who the kids of Hanamizaka would rather play with. It's almost a perfect 50/50 split right now.
Yoimiya helps Itto with their "festivals" by providing them with free fireworks. They almost always get in trouble with Sara, but Itto always tells her that Yoimiya didn't know what they were using the fireworks for and takes all of the blame so that she doesn't get in trouble and tarnish the Naganohara reputation.
She still holds a grudge against Raiden for not taking her vision sooner. She's WAY too important for her vision to not be the first taken!
He hangs out at the Kamisato estate a lot, beetle fighting with Thoma, playing TCG with Ayaka, and TRYING to play chess with Ayato.
I don't have many other headcanons about Itto, he's perfect the way he is <3
Yae Miko
she/one
~33 (Physically), 500+
Agender, Lesbian
Married to Raiden Ei
Family: Wanderer (Son), Raiden Makoto (Sister in Law), Kirara (FF Daughter)
Best Friend: Sangonomiya Kokomi
I looked up Kitsunes and noticed they had red markings, so I gave her some in similar placements as the ones I saw. I also made her eye makeup more intense.
Her hibakama is full length now. I think more Genshin girlies need full length skirts and stuff, they're so pretty :(
Penpals with Kokomi! She reviews the stories that Koko sends her and sometimes asks if she can flesh out and publish them if they're good enough.
She has a class at the Narukami Shrine where she teaches young children how to read by using fortune slips. She's surprisingly good with kids.
tbh I'm still holding a grudge from the anti-Raiden Shogun training quest and that's all I can think about when I see Miko
Gorou
he/him
24
Cisgender Man, Asexual, Demiromantic, Panromantic
Dating Arataki Itto
Family: Sangonomiya Kokomi (FF Sister), Kirara (FF Sister)
Best Friend: Kaedehara Kazuha
idc what anyone else says I love ittorou. They send each other letters without knowing it's them. Then Itto asks Gorou what he thinks of Miss Hina and Gorou's like who. what. And then Itto shows him some of the letters Miss Hina sent him and Gorou's like ???!?!??!!???
Anyways uh
Gorou has a prosthetic hand. He lost his left hand in the war.
He has PTSD and awful survivor's guilt. When he sees Sara or any other members of the Shogunate, he has to calm himself down. Kokomi doesn't bring Sara to Watatsumi when Gorou's there.
He and Kazuha meditate together. It's hard for Gorou to sit still long enough, but he tries.
In my head, the outfit he wears is a casual fit. In war, he does NOT have his whole torso exposed. My guy isn't a dumbass.
There are 3 people who he lets touch his tail.
Shikanoin Sayu
she/they/it
12
Family: Shikanoin Heizou (Brother), Kamisato Ayato (FF Brother), Kamisato Ayaka (FF Sister), Thoma Rothschild (FF Brother)
Best Friend: Traveler
I don't know why but Sayu and Heizou being siblings is so real to me.
I tried to make her look even sleepier. Also I gave her a tan since she sleeps out in the sun 24/7.
The people at the Kamisato Estate see her as a little sister, which annoys her a bit. But she gets pampered a lot, so she doesn't completely mind.
Often helps Heizou on investigations. He solves them, she hunts them down.
They're a very picky eater. They mostly eat onigiri and katsu sandwiches that Heizou makes for them. They'll eat food from Thoma, but only specific kinds.
It doesn't like Yoimiya too much. It thinks she's too loud and disrupts its sleep. Ayaka promises that Yoimiya's just not used to it yet, but it doesn't care.
She has sensory issues with sounds and food textures. She hates fireworks.
Chills with Gorou when they're bored. They like to sleep on his tail and they're one of three people he'll let touch it.
It has Turner's Syndrome. She's 12, but is still the height of an 8-9 year old.
She also has ptosis and narcolepsy.
Sangonomiya Kokomi
they/she/he/mer
24
Demigender, Greysexual, Panromantic
Dating Kujou Sara and Kuki Shinobu
Family: Gorou (FF Brother)
Best Friend: Yae Miko
Kokomi and Sara enemies to lovers real. They were flirting the entire time they were fighting trust me.
They were really conflicted about their feelings for Sara when they first developed them. They talked to Gorou and Miko about it, unsure of what to do. Miko gave them some "follow your heart" bs and Gorou gave them actual advice (Miss Hina moment). Gorou said that, even though he hates Sara, they shouldn't hide from their feelings if they're really there. He then gave her some tips on how to ask her out (that he got from Miss Hina's fans). Gorou just wants them to be happy :(
After she asked out Sara, she found out that Sara was already dating Shinobu. But then, Shinobu approached Kokomi and asked how she felt about polyamory, and now the three of them are dating :D
When he's stressed, he'll grab a comb and find Gorou. He likes to brush his tail, the repetitive action helps him. He's one of the only people who're allowed to touch his tail.
Kokomi has a sensory deprivation tank in mer secret hideout. Mer feels the safest when mer is floating in the water, and a sensory deprivation tank is much safer than the open ocean. Mer built it all by merself, with a little bit of help from Shinobu.
This is canon, but they are penpals with Miko. They love sending each other their favorite books. Kokomi occasionally drafts some stories and sends them to Miko so she review and edit them.
Autism, 100%. She hyperfixates over books in her hideout for days. Gorou has to remind her that she has priestess things to do, but he'll sometimes just carry out the job for her when she's really into something.
Shinobu and Itto visit Watatsumi a lot to visit their respective lovers, and Shinobu sometimes enters Koko's hideout while he's sleeping. She makes sure to put a blanket or her jacket over his shoulders before returning to the shrine to supervise Itto. Kokomi then wakes up with Shinobu's jacket and the most well rested mind in the world.
Mer occasionally goes down to Enkanomiya and just...exists. No worries, no pressure, just mer and the Vishaps. There was no war. Mer people are safe. Everything is okay.
She's slowly losing her hearing. She's had difficulty with it her entire life, but the war made it worse.
Kujou Sara
she/he
27
Bigender, Lesbian
Dating Sangonomiya Kokomi and Kuki Shinobu
Family: Kujou Clan
Best Friend: Kuki Shinobu
Sara has the BIGGEST celebrity crush on Ei it's crazy. Like whenever she sees her she just freezes up and has to like. Reboot her brain.
He asked Shinobu out because he'd seen her around the police station scolding Itto. Pretty girl with an authoritative attitude who's yelling at a criminal? How could he not fall in love? The two started hanging out, and Sara eventually (very awkwardly) asked her out. Surprisingly, Shinobu agreed. And then, one day, Shinobu asked Sara how he felt about polyamory, and then boom! New girlfriend! Kokomi!
She gets SOOO flustered when they're both around. Like. Sara trying to train but her girlfriends are watching? Sara trying to arrest someone but her girlfriends are whispering to each other how hot she is? Nah. Sara's brain shuts off, her wings pop out, and her face turns bright red. It doesn't help that Koko and Shinobu giggle a bit when that happens.
He's tried to talk to Gorou, to apologize for everything he'd done to him, to tell him how much he admires him and his strength, but he never can. Gorou panics and makes up an excuse to leave as soon as he sees Sara. So, Sara writes down every thought he has about Gorou and gives them to Kokomi. He then has Koko deliver these letters to Gorou anonymously, with Sara's name being at the very end so Gorou doesn't know it's him until he's already read everything.
Raiden Ei
she/one
~34 (Physically), ~3000
Agender, Asexual, Lesbian
Married to Yae Miko
Family: Wanderer (Son), Raiden Shogun (Daughter), Raiden Makoto (Sister), Nahida (FF Daughter)
Best Friend: Yae Miko
Not gonna lie guys, I don't think about Raiden too much. I also don't have her, so I don't really have a handle on her as a character. Okay. Now moving on.
Serious RBF. Like. Never smiles unless you make her laugh. She doesn't even realize it, either (it's The Autism)
Spends a lot of time in her own head, both metaphorically and literally. She'll sometimes just zone out and enter the Plane of Euthymia, and it just looks like she's staring into space like a cat.
Speaking of cats, she has one! She's a Turkish Angora named Keiko :3
Miko sometimes turns into her fox form and sits on Ei's lap with Keiko.
yes i know ei is a dog person but idc!!! my best friend is a cat person and she has two dogs. ei's just too busy for a dog right now :(
She and Zhongli send each other old person postcards. Venti sometimes intercepts them using the wind and laughs at them before sending them on their way.
She love love loves Nahida. She sees her as a daughter and makes sure to check up on her regularly.

Samson for character ask :>
favorite thing about them: by the time of his trial in DAI, he's one of very few characters who openly act against the Chantry and power structures of Thedas. lots of characters will shake their fists about it, then shrug and get back to business as usual. or they'll claim to be taking some kind of action, but ultimately it's small-scale and doesn't really go for things at the root. what Samson does isn't good, but he is definitely a disruption to a corrupt system that's extremely resistant to any form of change. it's unfortunate that, yet again, being openly anti-status-quo is a trait that is handed almost exclusively to villains, but he has that trait and I think that's pretty neat.
least favorite thing about them: the crimes against humanity! like, the guerilla warfare against civilians, feeding your troops magical drugs designed to make them walking crystal horrors, using innocent people to grow red lyrium? these are bad things! I can't overstate just how much these are bad things!!!
favorite line: I'll just put the exchange from "Paper & Steel" here.
“If you could tear this upstart Chantry out by the roots,” the stranger asked, “bring about a new Order, what price would you be willing to pay?”
“If it gave one templar a better end than mine,” Samson said, “I’d pour out my own blood for it."
brOTP: with Maddox ;.; they really do a lot for each other and it's evident that they care a Lot and always have. even if Samson acts like he's allergic to feelings.
OTP: total rarepair. Ser Barris/Samson is where it's at. here, Glitter & Crimson, there's 30,000 words of why I like them if you wanna read it.
nOTP: with Maddox. I just can't quite get with that one, the relationship doesn't feel at all romantic.
random headcanon: you will pry the belief that Samson wasn't in his right mind by the end of DAI from my cold dead hands. lyrium is known to fuck with people's heads (erasing memories, causing erratic behavior, even mimicking dementia in final stages) and red lyrium is even fucking worse. he was taking red lyrium to excess. and was also being groomed to be the vessel for what was in the Well of Sorrows, ffs. no mind control here, but...the fanatical way he acts at the Temple of Mythal versus how he comes across in letters you find earlier on (when he hasn't been taking red lyrium as long) and how he acts at his trial (when he's clearly been cut off from red lyrium entirely) is dramatically different. I truly don't think he was at full decision-making capacity. maybe he would have made the same choices if he was, but still. his agency was compromised.
unpopular opinion: the next time I see an "he's an irredeemable gross addict" take I might start a fight? the tl;dr here is that those takes Bother Me because they express some real cognitive dissonance and lack of compassion. as it's made clear throughout every game, all Templars are addicted to lyrium. full stop. all of them, even the "heroic" ones we're clearly supposed to like. Samson isn't an exception. other people with more knowledge have dug into how statements like that reveal some very distressing attitudes about mental illness and addiction, so I won't go into that here. regarding "gross," oh my god. he was houseless in a notoriously hellish and filthy city (love ya Kirkwall) and then he was a general for a guerilla army constantly on the move and no actual home base. do you really think this man has access to a shower.
as for "irredeemable?" fuck right off with that. atonement is possible. get your weird Calvinist pseudo-predestination bs away from me.
song i associate with them: "Drinking Song" by House Phone
'Cause you won't rewrite history
To commemorate the likes of me
And you would not believe me if I tried
To tell you all the things I've seen
And all the places that I've been
So pour the hall another cup of wine
