Her hair is white and reaches her knees, where it fades into an ashy color. Her bun is accessorized with a black hairpin, and she wears a red tassel decoration atop her head which lays between her eyes. Ningguang wears a white, high-necked sleeveless qipao dress with side slits that reach up to the thigh. It is decorated with a fur neck wrap around the collar, yellow patterns with gold banding, and black lace along the edge of the dress with her Geo Vision on her left midriff. She wears a pair of black high gloves that extend long enough to reach the ruffled extensions stretched from her upper arms. Her gloves are decorated with copper patterns and claw attachments on the thumb, ring and pinkey fingers which act as fingernail guards. The side of her left thigh has a red tattoo. The side slit in her dress reveal a pair of black shorts with diamond cut patterns. She wears a pair of brown heels, with another tattoo around her right ankle. Ningguang also carries a smoking pipe with her. Her outfit, Gold Leaf and Pearly Jade, is described as having intricate embroidery which is the hallmark of this graceful dress.

Her Personality & background

Ningguang is a professional businesswoman, having accumulated her wealth through all of her hard work and perseverance. Zhongli recalls her selling her wares at Yaoguang Shoal barefooted, and considers her to be a rare gem as she always presses on regardless of the situation. She has a very refined business wit, making use of a massive intelligence network and pawns to outplay her competition, although she makes sure she knows of their weaknesses before doing so. She is particularly fond of children, because they give her vital intelligence and she also enjoys seeing them smile. Despite being kind and friendly towards most people she comes accross, she is extremely relentless when it comes to business. Her business motives appear to be driven by the sole ideal of making mora, as she sees every mora she wins as a hard-earned trophy. This motive makes her disliked by those with significant influence, but nonetheless, many accept it as it adds to the overall prosperity of both the Qixing and the harbor itself. While being the bearer of a Geo Vision, Ningguang does not rely too heavily on it as she claims Mora solves most of her problems. She had brought it for a business venture, but it ended up resonating with her instead, quickly dashing those hopes, and was initially annoyed at the unexpected turn.

Trivia

Zhongli implies at one point that she used to walk barefoot during her younger, poverty stricken years. When he says "I'm reminded of the time that she used to walk barefoot from Yaoguang Shoal to the south wharf, trying to sell her wares as she went. Time is cruel to humans.". Men from all kinds of levels of society, from rich to poor, all seek out her affections due to her wealth and beauty.

About Ningguang

The Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing and owner of the floating Jade Chamber in the skies of Liyue, Ningguang is a mogul who shakes the very foundations of business circles. Even grabbing a few scraps from the documents she shreds from the Jade Chamber will gift one an invaluable fragment of her wisdom, enough to stay a step or two from one's peers.

Favorite Food

A slow-boiled soup of leftover chicken and pork bones drenched over some cabbage leaves. She have few culinary requirements. Having a few staple dishes like this is enough.

Least Favorite Food

She has come across those who demand golden crab for every meal. Though it all seems so grandiose, She really have no desire for such frivolousness. If they ever thinking of taking her out for such a dinner, they'd be better off just giving the Mora to her directly.

Her Interesting Things

In Liyue's ancient texts, there's no shortage of mentioning the beauty of the glaze lily, but in the modern era, the flower is on the brink of extinction. Now they can only be found in Yujing Terrace, and as such to come with a hefty price tag.
