Columbina
Columbina is the Frost Moon Goddess and was the 3rd-ranked Fatui Harbinger. Being a moon goddess, she has similar or even greater powers than an Archon. Her real name is Hyposelena, and Columbina is the name she chose to use and found acceptance. The Nod-Krai storyline has been revolving around Columbina, so let’s see how it continues in the next version.
Zibai
Zibai is an Adeptus from Liyue, and she draws her powers from the Moon Wheel and not a Vision. She is known to take the shape of a white horse, which coined her nickname as the White Horse Adeptus. During the Archon war, Zibai helped Rex Lapis in attaining supremacy over the mortal realm. Everything revealed about Zibai touches on her elusive nature as an Adeptus, only appearing in Folktales.
Illuga
Illuga is a member of the Lightkeepers in Genshin Impact and the son of Starshyna Nikita. His drip marketing reveals him to be a positive person who manages all tasks efficiently, also offering careful, thoughtful support to his teammates.
