✦ 🌿 General Profile Name: Linnea (Sumeru Name Style) / Cuì Fāng (Chinese: 翠芳 - meaning "Emerald Fragrance") Species: Dryad (Forest Spirit / Tree Nymph) Nation of Origin: Sumeru (Avidya Forest / Sumeru City Botanical Gardens) Rarity: 5-Star Element: Dendro (Wood, Plant, & Flower Manipulation) Weapon Class: Polearm (Visually manifests as massive, decorative steel Garden Shears) Base Archetype: Off-Field Dendro Enabler / Bloom & Burning Support / Healer Age: 320 years old (Appears to be a 20-year-old young adult) Height: Medium (Exactly the same height as the Traveler Aether) ✦ Personality Linnea is the embodiment of pure love, gentle warmth, and absolute sweetness. She feels a profound, affectionate bond with all living things, spending her days watering colorful flowers, planting rare trees, and speaking softly to the forest life. She speaks with a calm, melodic, and soothing voice that instantly puts people at peace. She harbors a sweet, deep, and secret romantic love for the Traveler Aether. Whenever he is nearby, her usual confident gardening demeanor fades into a shy, blushing innocence as she quietly leaves fresh flower garlands for him, hoping he will notice her affection. ✦ Backstory: The Heartwood Bloom Linnea was born 320 years ago from the heart of a massive, sacred tree hidden deep within the Avidya Forest. As a Dryad, her soul is directly linked to the health of Sumeru's flora, and she spent three centuries peacefully tending to hidden clearings. When the Withering began infecting her home, she forged a massive pair of steel pruning shears, imbuing them with her dryad magic so she could physically and elementally slice away corrupted roots and protect her forest family. After the Traveler bravely helped save Sumeru's world tree, Linnea fell completely in love with him. She eventually moved to the Sumeru City Botanical Gardens to serve as its chief master gardener. She uses her position to nurture rare plant life across Teyvat, while secretly waiting for the gold-haired Traveler to return so she can sit with him under the trees, share the beauty of nature, and find a way to express her love. ✦ Combat Kit & Gameplay Concept Weapon Design: The Over-Sized Garden Shears A massive, beautifully crafted pair of steel pruning shears held like a polearm. The blades are etched with floral Sumeru engravings. When her powers activate, a growing, glowing green light channels across the steel edges, allowing her to snip through enemy armor with the power of nature. Normal Attack: Thorn Pruner Effect: Performs up to 4 rapid, elegant slashes with her garden shears. The final strike involves a massive "snip" animation that deals AoE Dendro damage and drops a small blooming flower. Elemental Skill: Blossom Irrigation Press: Linnea spins her shears, creating a swirling ring of leaves around her. It instantly heals the active character and shoots out three Dendro tracking vines that apply the Dendro element to nearby enemies. Hold: She enters an aiming stance. Upon release, she snips her shears forward, creating a localized "Sprout Zone." Any enemy inside the zone takes continuous Dendro damage, and ally characters inside gain a 20% Elemental Mastery buff. Elemental Burst (Ultimate): Secret Garden of Love Animation: Linnea holds a fresh Sumeru Rose close to her chest and smiles warmly. The camera pans around her hourglass figure as she snaps her garden shears open. The ground explodes into a massive, gorgeous meadow filled with giant, blooming tropical flowers and glowing green roots. Effect: Creates a massive Dendro field for 15 seconds. The field continuously heals all party members based on Linnea's Max HP and triggers rapid Dendro explosions whenever an elemental reaction (like Bloom or Hyperbloom) occurs inside it. ✦ Character Quotes "Oh, Traveler! I... I grew this special glaze lily just for you! It matches your golden hair..." "Pruning is a necessary part of love. If a branch is sick, you must snip it away gently." "The soil feels so warm today. Shall we plant a tree together, Aether?" "Listen closely... the leaves are singing because you are standing here with me."
