Genshin Impact = 90 % of my cosplay plans pt. 1

A bit over a year ago I begun to play Genshin Impact. At first I was thinking that I'd just check it out and would continue to play if I enjoyed it.

And now... Well, I'm not going to lie, it's part of my daily routines to play Genshin Impact. I fell in love pretty much with everything in the game; the story is awesome, the characters have become quite dear to me, the graphics are top quality and the music... I could listen to it for hours and not get bored. At some point the characters of this game begun to invade my cosplay plans and now 90 % of said plans are Genshin Impact characters send help - and now I'm going to list which characters I'm likely to cosplay in the future! 

Obviously not in the near future though; these costumes require quite a lot of money, time and skill - and I have none of those at the moment but... I can always dream about cosplaying these dearies. 

And no, I definitely didn't steal this blog post idea from Shiro Samurai. Definitely not.


Character: Lisa

Let's spark things up a little~

 

The Witch of Purple Rose, the lazy librarian, the perfect waifu... A dear child has many names. When I first saw Lisa I fell in love with her personality; she's quite laid-back but does her duties as a librarian - and she can be quite fierce when she gets angry. To this day she's still my favorite character in the game. I also love her design - the color scheme, the clothes, the details, everything. She's probably going to be one of the first ones I'm going to make and a sure one to happen too.


Character: Rosaria

Work hard and live each day to the fullest. That is what life in Mondstadt is all about, isn't it?

 

Rosaria... She's a very dear character to me. Being a bit of a lone wolf she wanders along her own paths, not really giving a single fuck what anyone thinks of her. She's strong and independent lady who doesn't take orders from others - except if she really has to. Rosaria has strong opinions about... Well, pretty much everything and doesn't really hang out with anyone. I actually pulled her from a wish banner before I met her in the game for the first time so at first I fell in love with her design - and when I actually got to know her personality too I realized that I like this character a lot. She's also a sure one to happen at some point.


Character: Amber
 

Outrider Amber reporting for duty! Just say the word if you ever need my help!

 

To be honest, this one surprised me, myself and I too. I don't usually like characters like Amber; she's "The little Miss Sunshine", always kind and polite and usually over-enthusiastic about her work and life overall. I have to say that at first I didn't like her that much and found her a bit annoying - she was way too positive about everything if you asked me. But, at some point, I noticed that I didn't hate her that much anymore and that she's actually quite nice character; she's helpful and kind and she also has the talent to see the silver lining on a storm cloud. She's a sweet one. I also love her design, especially the new outfit (seen in the picture above) and it's likely the one I'm going to make.



Character: Lumine (the female Traveler)

There´s still a long road ahead.

 

In the beginning of the game the player gets to choose whether they want a male or a female avatar. Usually I take the male one but I found myself liking the design of the female avatar, Lumine, more so I chose her - and I wasn't disappointed in my choice. Her design is simply amazing; it looks very simple (or at least when compared to other Genshin Impact characters) but actually it's filled with small details. I'm not usually a fan of pure white color either but it fits this character pretty well! I can't say anything about her personality in this context; you see, the player kind of builds the Traveler's personality so it really depends of the player what kind of a character the Traveler becomes. I went with the sarcastic one.
Lumine is pretty likely to happen - probably even among the first ones yet definitely not the first. 


Character: Beidou

I chose you as my crewmate, as my comrade on the sea. It gives me great pride to be able to say that.

 

Beidou - this goodhearted and straightforward pirate queen stole my heart when I got to know her personality. To be honest, at first I wasn't too fond of her design; in my eyes red and purple never really were a good combination but after a while I realized that those colors reflect Beidou's personality; if there was such a thing as "responsible yet passionate wild child" I would definitely use it to describe her. She's also very smart and opinionated character - just the type I like. She's one of the characters that is pretty likely to happen.


Character: Ningguang

There's no style in resorting to violence. It's simply the worst of all the bad decisions you could make.

 

Ningguang... I'm not going to lie. At first I outright hated her with passion; she seemed to be the worst kind of snob out there. It took me quite a while to learn to appreciate her personality and realize that she hadn't gotten everything on a golden tray - she has had to work hard for her success, sometimes even without proper rest. When I finally convinced myself to give her a second chance I noticed that her personality is actually great; she is hard-working and sophisticated yet ready to defend her people when it's required from her.
I still dislike her regular outfit but I love this Orchid's Evening Gown; in my eyes blue suits her much better than gold and still symbolizes her social status - after all, in the past blue was the color meant for royals and the rich. Mainly because it was expensive af but... Anyway. 


So, here's part one of the characters I'm going to cosplay in the future - and yes, this is the first part. I'll also write a second part in the near future since I realized that if I had put all the characters I want to cosplay in one post it would've become a kilometer long list so... Yeah. 

Oh, and if you wonder - those cursive parts are character voice-overs. 

Until next time - which is likely to be another circle lens review.
