Genshin characters dealing with a reader that often bites their nails (as a chronic nail biter)
Lohen
This freak (affectionate)
Unless it's detrimental to your movements in sparring, bro dgaf
As in, he's the one going up to you and putting your digits into his mouth to suck the blood clean off
He's gotten frighteningly good at spotting hangnails and when your nails were slightly longer than usual just so he could walk up to you and suck your fingers like a fuckass dog
Though he would be curious at first, if you told him that it was an oral fixation of sorts he's always willing to keep your mouth busy with him wink wink
9/10 in getting you to stop, simply because he's being gross and unhygienic to the point where you just trim your nails like a normal person to not deal with his saliva on your fingers
Wanderer
He's staring at you in mild disappointment and unfortunately for you, you can't escape it
If it's something you do when anxious, well he isn't going to take away your one source relieving that. He just hands you a bandaid with a contemplative look on his face as he's wondering how to make you stop
(Bro has no idea what to do)
However, if it's something that you do subconsciously he's replacing your fingers to bite on every chance he gets
A lollipop, a juice box with a sturdy straw, heck even the cap of a pen for all you'd know
Sometimes wonders if he could replace your terrible habit with his mouth alone, but he shuts down that idea as fast as possible for his own sanity
7/10 in damage control, he's too awkward about it
Sandrone
You think she'd let you be so unhygienic?
She despises even the dust of a fingerprint on her precious Mecha, in no way was she allowing you to indulge in that gross habit
If you're working on a project together, she's smacking your hands away with a ruler
Forces you to wear gloves just to not bite your nails
Will and won't hesitate to check the shape of the nails to see if you somehow went back on the habit behind her back
It's why she has far more tea parties with you than the normal person, to watch you fidget with your gloves with the proud satisfaction that you can't do anything about your craving
(And if she writes in her diary that she's glad you're being able to talk more in the tea parties despite the two of your busy schedules, that's something that's I'll remain with her till the end of time)
10/10 in damage control, 1/10 in actual comfort
Chiori
You know those nail guards that nobles wore to protect their nails from breaking? She's designing one specifically for you, except it's to prevent biting your nails
Stares in vehement displeasure when you even think of biting your nails, and you back off simply because you don't want to ruin the beautiful piece of craftsmanship
Oh you won't even get bored with them either, she's making a new design as soon as possible
If you have sensory issues with the nail guards, she's the one silently handing you a nail cutter when she realizes your nails are long to prevent you from biting them.
If you work in her field, she's chiding you for the jagged cuts of your nails, saying how much better it would look to the client if the designer kept their hands neat
10/10 in damage control, not only is her glare convincing but she somehow puts elegance into not biting your nails
(A/N: I just wrote sum bullshit 🥹🤞)
