the liyue qixing's historiographer and former pupil of sumeru akademiya. his mission is to chronicle liyue as it moves into a new era of mankind, doing so in a way few before him have. nary a soul could match zhilan’s enthusiasm for the old world of teyvat, nor could they rival his bright-eyed curiosity as to what makes us truly human.
do you enjoy history? sociology? perhaps positing the essence of the human experience or anything of that nature? good! because he LOVES to talk about this! sometimes he talks about this in Great Length, even! it’s earned him the nickname ‘motormouth’, because once he gets going you miiiight be in for a crash course in history, totally free of charge! ( he won’t quiz you, don’t worry. but he hopes you’re listening! )
“i can’t get spirited away from my home world, my manuscript is due!!”
grew up in the sleepy village of qingce, and sometimes finds city life a little overwhelming. after nearly two years in spirale, that's yet to change but he's getting better at it!
unusually optimistic despite his past hardships and exceedingly gullible. might blind you with his rays of positivity.
also remarkably good natured and kind. most would be hard-pressed to not notice his noble heart and his dedication to do what’s right.
believes that mankind is inherently good at its core with the capacity for evil, thereby making it limitless in possibility. this particular aspect of humanity is what intrigues him most.
has a complicated standing with the akademiya but has ultimately found relative success in liyue harbor. regardless of what others may think of his motivations, zhilan believes in them wholeheartedly. though he still considers himself a mere ripple in the waters of the academic community, even the smallest have the potential to produce the most mighty of waves.
