As I sit here, scrolling through my character archive, it's almost overwhelming to think about the sheer number of companions I've met on my journey across Teyvat since starting out with just the Traveler all those years ago. It's 2026, and the world of Genshin Impact feels more alive and populated than ever. From the windswept plains of Mondstadt to the neon-lit streets of the latest regions, every character has a story, and getting to know them—through quests, wishes, or special events—has been the real heart of the adventure for me. Let's take a stroll through this incredible roster, shall we?

It all begins in Mondstadt, the city of freedom. My first real teammate here was the ever-energetic Outrider, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-0 Amber. She's the best, no question about it. Then you have the backbone of the Knights: the rigorous Acting Grand Master genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-1 Jean, the enigmatic librarian genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-2 Lisa, and the unlucky but big-hearted adventurer genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-3 Bennett. And who could forget everyone's favorite idol, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-4 Barbara? Let's just say her concerts are... an experience. The city also hides its share of mysteries, like the wolf-boy genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-5 Razor, the sharp-tongued Sister genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-6 Rosaria, and the bard who's more than he seems, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-7 Venti. Oh, and the explosive little knight, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-8 Klee—let's just say I've paid for a few windows.

Notable Mondstadt Characters Their Deal
Diluc Winery tycoon and nighttime vigilante. A classic.
Eula A noble turned knight. She'll have vengeance for this table!
Albedo The genius alchemist. His experiments are... fascinating.
Mona The proud astrologist. Her predictions are accurate, her Mora situation is not.
Fischl The Prinzessin der Verurteilung. Her way of speaking is, um, unique. Oz translates.

Then we sail to the land of contracts, Liyue. The business is serious here. You've got the ultra-wealthy Tianquan genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-9 Ningguang, the skeptical Yuheng genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-10 Keqing, and the meticulous funeral director genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-11 Hu Tao—she's always trying to drum up business, that one. The adepti walk among mortals here too, like the vigilant genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-12 Xiao, the gentle qilin secretary genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-13 Ganyu, and the ever-knowledgeable consultant genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-14 Zhongli. Pro tip: never go shopping with him unless you have a bottomless Mora pouch.

Next, the stormy shores of Inazuma. Ruled by the pursuit of Eternity under the genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-24 Raiden Shogun herself, it's a land of contrasts. The elegance of the Kamisato Clan, with the dignified genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-25 Ayaka and the shrewd head genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-26 Ayato, stands alongside the fiery passion of the Arataki Gang's one and only leader, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-27 Arataki Itto. Seriously, have you really never heard of them?

genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-28 Yoimiya's fireworks light up the sky, while the clever editor and Guuji genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-29 Yae Miko seems to have a hand in everything.

The wisdom of Sumeru introduced us to scholars, forest watchers, and desert mercenaries. At the heart of it was the gentle Archon, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-35 Nahida. The Akademiya's scribe, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-36 Alhaitham, lives free from others' opinions, while the General Mahamatra genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-37 Cyno enforces the rules (and has a secret passion for TCG). The forest is protected by the straight-shooting genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-38 Tighnari and his enthusiastic trainee genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-39 Collei.

And then there's the architect genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-42 Kaveh and the merchant genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-43 Dori—let's just say their approaches to life and Mora are... dramatically different.

Finally, the drama and intrigue of Fontaine. The stage is always set here.

The famed magician siblings, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-46 Lyney and his quiet assistant genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-47 Lynette, dazzle audiences. Justice is also served by the Champion Duelist genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-48 Clorinde and the dedicated patrol captain genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-49 Chevreuse. Beneath the waves, the Fortress of Meropide is run by the mysterious Duke genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-50 Wriothesley and his caring head nurse genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-51 Sigewinne. And of course, the indomitable president of Spina di Rosula, genshin-impact-in-2026-a-personal-guide-to-the-ever-growing-cast-of-teyvat-image-52 Navia, always fights for her people.
