Traveler

The Traveler is the player protagonist of Genshin Impact, chosen as either Aether or Lumine. Separated from their twin by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, they journey through Teyvat seeking answers and becoming involved in each nation's crisis.

Traveler's central conflict and character growth

The Traveler is adaptable, compassionate, curious, and partly shaped by player dialogue choices. They resonate with multiple elements without a Vision and use swordsmanship, elemental skills, and experience from traveling between worlds.
