Winds

Appearance

Venti has fair skin, delicate features, aquamarine eyes, and a slender build. She has dark blue hair bordering on black, with a slightly messy fringe falling on her forehead, she has short twin braids that fade into an aqua color that glows bright cyan when she casts magic. She wears a white ruffled blouse with a corset-like leather midsection, along with teal shorts with gold embroidery, and a matching teal cape held together by a deep blue and gold bow. Venti also wears white stockings with 3 gold diamond shapes along each leg, and a beret-like hat with a Cecilia, which is her favorite flower. She carries a wooden lyre with blue strings imbued with the power of Anemo.

Personality

Venti has a rather mischievous attitude and is fond of rhymes in his speeches, but if he is told to stop, he will immediately stop. He sees a certain value in music to the point where he names his lyre, saying that "every being deserves a name to be summoned and woven into a song." He is also quite bold, shown many times in both the manga and the game, not afraid to insult or ignore the supposedly powerful. Venti enjoys wandering around Mondstadt playing songs for his people, most of whom are unaware of his true identity as the Anemo Archon. He is well-liked for his musical talents, having won the title of "Mondstadt's Most Popular Bard" three times. Venti is also an avid drinker of alcoholic beverages, such as Dandelion Wine and has a high tolerance for alcohol. He is also fine with apple cider. However, much to his disdain, the form he takes causes most bartenders to view him as a minor, but he gets around this by telling people to bring him drinks in exchange for his performances. He also enjoys apples, considering them the fruit of the gods, and jokingly states that he would refuse to go to Celestia even if he were invited because their apples are tasteless and the water foul, which would make bad cider. He dislikes melted cheese, stating that it is a smelly, sticky, slimy mess. When Venti assumes his persona as the Archon of Wind, he speaks wisely and rather philosophically, guiding the Traveler, as he guided Mondstadt in its beginnings.

History

By the time he had been in Mondstadt for only a few months, Venti's income was much less than that of other bards who had been in the city for a long time. However, whenever he earned enough Mora from his performances, he would rush to the city's taverns. However, since he physically appears to be underage, he was never allowed to buy alcohol. The first time he was turned away, he muttered something like, “There were no such rules the last time I was here…” When he realized that such a rule applied to all the taverns in the city, he came up with something… He developed the skill of drinking on the job, that is, while performing. He urged his audience to buy him a drink if they liked his performances instead of giving him Moras. This unique skill made him quite popular in Mondstadt. However, he couldn’t help but sneeze if a cat came near him… If, by chance, he was holding a cup with his teeth at that moment… Well, needless to say what a mess it would cause. Therefore, Venti always chooses places far away from cats when performing. Over the past few months, travelers resting by this tree would sometimes hear a young man singing the stories of Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. Unlike most of the deities ruling the neighboring realms, Barbatos has long since left Mondstadt. What remains of him is only an unrecognizable face on the Statue of the Seven. Fortunately, his past deeds still remain in books and epics, sung and passed down by the bards. What Venti sings of Barbatos are some strange antics and adventures, such as when he stole the Cryo Archon's scepter and replaced it with a Hilichurl's club.

History (continued 2)

However, those who revere Barbatos are not happy with such blasphemies. When confronted with their accusations, Venti always displays a hint of guilt as he replies, “How do you know that’s not true?” That’s right; even the most devout nuns wouldn’t know what really happened to Barbatos millennia ago. Only Venti knows what she sings about beneath that mysterious smile… 2,600 years ago, the Archon War had yet to end, and the world had not yet fallen under the rule of The Seven. In those days, the city called “Mondstadt” was surrounded on all sides by winds that were impenetrable even to birds. The incessant howling of the wind ground the earth and rock of that place into fine dust. The Lord of the Wind who lived in his high tower was Decarabian, the God of the Tempest. He looked down upon his subjects, who bowed before him amidst the incessant wind, and, believing them submissive, he was pleased. In those days, Venti was but a breath of the thousand winds that roared through the northern lands. The man who would later be known as “Barbatos” was but a small elemental spirit, without a shred of divine dignity, a breeze that brought small changes at best, or small seeds of hope. In the Mondstadt of old, Venti met a young man who knew how to play the lyre and longed to write the greatest poem of all. "I want to see the birds fly"

vision

The Seven Archons do not need Visions, for they already have great power. However, Barbatos loved the mortal world and wanted to roam Mondstadt more freely as "Venti", so she created a glass ornament much like the Visions worn by those chosen by the gods. The imitation has no special abilities, nor does Venti rely on it to channel his elemental power.
