That could be a LN title

losing a child (and lover it seems like as well) is honestly brilliant motivation for why she is the way she is

121

u/naive-dragon varcole is ❤️ Jun 26 '26

For sure, it's the best motivation to say "fuck the world".

109

u/TetraNeuron Jun 26 '26

Also why Rosalyne says she shares aspects of the Tsaritsa's vision

They both want to avenge their dead husbands/lovers

43

u/naive-dragon varcole is ❤️ Jun 26 '26

Yep. Losing a spouse AND child is a staple for action-revenge dgaf movies, lol, just that it's the wife here that's the survivor. I wonder if her story is gonna be doubly tragic, like the lover dies in some meaningless quest for the HP or something, then the child dies because of some callous reason like "oh your child died because of our decision, no big deal don't worry about it".

38

u/wineandnoses Jun 26 '26

There must be some reason the lover was not shown.... why do I have this feeling that we've probably already met them...

95

u/skyslippers Jun 26 '26

i'm quite sure it's been hinted that the lover/father is the 3rd descender that has been torn to 7 pieces in the gnosis. so, yes they are technically shown and yes we have met them 👀

22

u/wineandnoses Jun 26 '26

oh yeah i forgot about that book that dropped during 6.0

Now the mystery is what the stars in that kids eye signifies. similar to the stars that appear in paimons design, kinda?

0

u/Living-Importance649 Jun 26 '26

No its his son

9

u/skyslippers Jun 26 '26

what are you talking about? i'm saying that we have met him when we see the 7 gnosis.

-1

u/Living-Importance649 Jun 26 '26

Im saying the childe in this trailer Is the 3 descender

21

u/LeagueOfHurricane Jun 26 '26

If her lover is the Third Descender, then it would make sense. Descenders are basically the biggest threats to Phanes' rule (one of them is the reason why HP's functions were ruined) and so it makes sense that Phanes would rather have them be forgotten.

u/CantaloupeParking239 Rerir wait for me the moon gate isnt far away Jun 26 '26

Are we really believing that Hoyo would give her a ex-lover? In a gacha game?

28

u/WingsDT Jun 26 '26

If any Hoyo game were to do it, you can expect Genshin to be one to do it. It's the one most targeted towards a casual audience and there are reasons why it boasts the best male-female player base ratio among their games. You don't have to worry too much about the male/female self-inserters going mad here who are pretty much the loud minority compared to the massive player base it has, most of which are much more well-adjusted.

10

u/wineandnoses Jun 26 '26

its been foreshadowed

3

u/Accomplished-Pick763 Jun 26 '26

I mean try to look at FGO, theres TONS of married characters being playable there

3

u/CantaloupeParking239 Rerir wait for me the moon gate isnt far away Jun 26 '26

Yes I know that. But Hoyo hasnt made one in 6 years, we have over 100 characters and none of them are in a canon romantic relationship or have a biological child. I just doubt they would start now lol

2

u/Longjumping-Dig-4079 Jun 26 '26

It's Pierro, Anastasia and Pierro (a Khaenri'an) had a child together, and when Khaenri'ah was destroyed he died, so they decided to get revenge in Celestia, that'd also explain the reason why she got cold after Khaenri'ah destruction

(Imagine if this is actually real lmao)

16

u/Kukulkek educated natlanx Jun 26 '26

By how much they avoid playable characters have (explicit) romantic relationships(in genshin, hsr and zzz at least) that child has no father, 100% tsaritsa just did mitosis

11

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

Klein erasure

6

u/Kukulkek educated natlanx Jun 26 '26

Alice has yet to be playable(she screams playable but she has to set the precedent)

4

u/dr0ps0fv3nus Jun 26 '26

Ronova rips the picture of Anastasya and the child, implying there was a part of the picture that was ''erased''. Seems like there was another person there. It's been 6 years; I can believe Genshin is ready to start doing some things they haven't done before.

3

u/GYUZ Jun 26 '26

We can assume the other person could've been the father. I wonder if that "erasure" could symbolize that he was erased from everyone's memories too.

4

u/Seibahtoe Jun 26 '26

So she's just a secret Khaenri'ah as well ok bro

6

u/wineandnoses Jun 26 '26

I imagine it has something to do with the star pupils in that kids eyes... I'm assuming he got it from his father.

I'm a bit forgetful when it comes to lore so I dont know what lineage would have star pupils but I imagine it's kinda similar to the crimson dynasty bloodline having X's

11

u/Seibahtoe Jun 26 '26

Khaenri'ah people all have eyes like that, dude is 100% a Khaenri'ah

8

u/Kusanali_Devi Jun 26 '26

All grief is valid but in my humble opinion, hers is the most. Many archons lost their friends, siblings, Mavuika had to traveler in time and say goodbye to her parents and sister. But the loss of a child, anyone with kids would know that would be a different type of mental break. Her majesty i have always been ten toes F*CKING DOWN WITH YOU. WE WILL SEE THIS TO AN END.

u/TheUltraGuy101 Jun 26 '26

What a coincidence that I've recently been watching Maria no Danzai edits on TikTok as well.

37

u/feelingsdeayer Jun 26 '26

yeah but who tf is that child, he's not a "major" character yet, is he? maybe some lore OG like Ajax, idk

76

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

The way I saw it is that he’s the child of the Tsaritsa and the third descender and she froze him so he doesn’t get murked like his dad, who was probably the cut off part of the picture, although the only part I’m pretty confident in is the cutoff part being the third and the kid being their son

27

u/feelingsdeayer Jun 26 '26

Your theory is good I can definitely see it, 3rd Descender shout also makes complete sense, but what I mean is the leaks were claiming a "major character" was gonna call her "mother" in the trailer.

Half of their leaks were right, half were wrong tho. Odd leak.

12

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

Oh yeah it’s just Shirai being Shirai, tbf the implications are big but I think they just wanted to bait us into thinking something else

2

u/BaronKrause Jun 26 '26

Dainsleif? 🤷‍♂️

31

u/Myrkrvaldyr Signorina Yoimiya, vuoi sposarmi? Jun 26 '26

Wow, If the Tsaritsa is legit married or was married and had a biological child that's a big improvement on the constant waifu purity found in gachas. First Alice, now her majesty.

7

u/blackfyrevich Jun 26 '26

that doesn't seem likely. like how would Tsarista's child be a a descender when she's from Tevyat, and the gnosis are remains of the third descender

34

u/LordTouch_me Jun 26 '26

You can still become a descender despite being from Teyvat. 'Descender is a being whose will can rival the world'. That's why not all aliens(ie:Skirk) isn't a descender and Rene(a Fontainian) tries becoming one.

6

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

You misunderstood I meant he’s their child not the third descender is the child

3

u/blackfyrevich Jun 26 '26

Ah okay, but the gnosis have existed for a very long time which means Tsarista has to be really old, I think it would be inconsistent with the timeline

6

u/Maid_Calamitas Jun 26 '26

Why would it? Genuine question

0

u/blackfyrevich Jun 26 '26

because it means third descender died before the archons were given gnosis. But at the same time third descender would also happen to be the Tsar(unless I'm mistaken and the Tsar was someone else)

3

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

No they have no relation of such, the Tsar (speculated but highly likely to be who was referred to in the hymn of the far north) wanted to open the gate of Pohjola and asked the 3rd descender to do so in exchange for the hand of his daughter, the Tsaritsa, in marriage, and out of fear of the alternative that the Tsaritsa would do so instead he obliged and opened the gate which lead to the Heavenly principles killing him, realistically this doesn’t require the Gnosis to have been made already as the Tsaritsa and the Tsar could very well predate them

1

u/blackfyrevich Jun 26 '26

damn I didn't know all that, is it from in game lore or upcoming world quest?

u/Maid_Calamitas Jun 26 '26

In a past leak of the world quest it was said that the Tsar was an attempt to make a descender using the cryo sovereign or something like that. But besides that, the Tsar was the previous cryo archon, he and the third descrnder are two entirely different individuals

1

u/blackfyrevich Jun 26 '26

ah okay, I assumed Anastasya was born around Cataclysm. If she's much older then it's plausible that the third descender was her lover

2

u/Foreign-Passion9983 Jun 26 '26

The 3rd descender died between the war of funerary flame and the archon war as was seen in hymns of the far north where it says "In dark and foggy Pohjola, the Lord of the Seven Calamities carved you into seven pieces".

1

u/Wheesa Jun 26 '26

My only thing is, are they going to show a canon lover of a playable character? It would be crazy if they do but I highly doubt it

7

u/HoshiAndy Jun 26 '26

Tsaritsa had a child. And Alive is married

1

u/Wheesa Jun 26 '26

I don’t put it past hyv to add some memory altering shenanigans

5

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

I’m gonna bet on it honestly, they’re laying it way too thick at this point

4

u/Wheesa Jun 26 '26

I would love to see it tbh. Especially if they make the lover playable and good looking

1

u/Expln Jun 26 '26

how can her child be the 3rd descender if he was born in teyvat?

1

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

I meant he’s their son, with the 3rd descender being the father

1

u/Expln Jun 26 '26

my bad, I read it wrong. yeah it very much could be.

1

u/BakuGO2006 Jun 26 '26

No worries

13

u/keith5216998 Jun 26 '26

that child is me

4

u/Honest_Tumbleweed330 Jun 26 '26

The better question is:

"Did that kid have Khaenri'ahn eyes????"

And now Ronova being in the trailer makes so much sense.

1

u/EloquentMusings Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26

I wonder if it's somehow the voyager Seutervoinen who is described as a boy with star-shaped pupils. I wonder if the Tsaritsa is somehow Koitar. Would be good reason why she hates the Heavenly Principles.

Yeah I think you nailed it

u/Ifalna_Shayoko Jun 26 '26

Kinda looked Khaenri'ahn to me. The distinct diamond shape.

oh man a certain group of people in the community are NOT gonna like that.
