Character: Xiao Canon: Genshin Impact Current Canon Point: post 2.4, Lantern Rite New Canon Point: post 3.5, Windblume's Breath
Updated Background: 🍃 While the Traveler ( Aether ) is gathering supplies to restore the Jade Chamber, Xiao is seen observing the ocean. He's monitoring the situation with Beisht, Osial's wife, but says that he cannot interfere. It just makes him anxious.
🍃 Prior to the events that lead Aether and others to the Chasm, there are rumors going on about an Adeptus there. Xiao asks to go to the Chasm to look for this person. He's eventually discovered by Aether, Itto, Kuki, and Yelan. He tells them all to leave before he disappears himself.
🍃 As the group continues to explore the Chasm, they find that there's something odd about it. They can hear Xiao talking to someone and he's struggling. The group solve puzzles and enters in various domains. There Xiao once more tells them to leave because it's too dangerous. He's abruptly cut off.
🍃 Eventually Xiao is dragged out of the domain that he is in, explaining that he is looking for Bosacius. This is where the group learns that the Chasm draws people in with illusions and then traps them inside. Xiao says that he will use his powers to transport the others, but it will mean leaving him behind. Everyone refuses this idea.
🍃 The group is attempting to find another means of escape and thus begin to move through the Chasm and its illusions. Here there are remnant memories and Xiao confirms that Bosacius had been here. He was the Nameless Yaksha that participated in the campaign. Soon after he purges the memory in a brief fight.
🍃 Using the Compass, the idea is to return them to the surface. Xiao had been tasked with maintaining the energy flow into the Compass. He eventually has to dispatch some evil energies and it becomes apparent that this will be a losing battle. Thus using the last of his energy... He sends the group t the surface - sacrificing himself.
🍃 ...Or so he thought. Zhongli expends energy to save Xiao. Xiao has a conversation with Aether about it shortly after everyone parts ways.
🍃 Xiao still visits Pervases temple. Aether and Ping'an eventually restore the temple.
🍃 Due to the Dendro Archon Rukkhadevata's actions through Nahida, she is effectively written out of history. While Xiao might not have met her in person, her name would no longer be in his memory.
🍃 Lantern Rite! This time he is something of a guest of honor. Xiao enjoys a meal with some others - including Zhongli and Venti ( and honestly it's almost too much ). Ends up not just spending time with the Traveler ( Aether ), but Venti later on as well.
Updated Personality: 🍃 Nothing, really... It's just said that he is softer. That he is being more sociable and beginning to understand that he's allowed things for himself. That he can enjoy little moments spent with others. There are attempts at actually engaging with others.
Any other updates: 🍃 n/a
Regain Baubles? 🍃 None - involuntary return
Questions/Other: 🍃 Also kind of updating on June 16th, but that's not super important
