Developer HoYoverse is back to officially introduce our first Version 7.0 – proper Snezhnaya – characters, starting with the swirling snow, Odette, the Prima Ballerina of the Korolevskiy Troupe.
Odette – Cryo
“She dances and dances… The gazes and hearts of all follow her every graceful motion, only to fall as the curtain draws closed ♪~ But Odette, oh Odette, Odette of Snezhnograd, Odette of the Korolevskiy Troupe, Odette who belongs not to herself ♪~ Does your heart yearn to be the center of attention, or to dance alone on the snowy plains? ♪~” — A song drifting from Vodyanitsa’s room
Whenever her name appears on a show publicity poster, the lines start forming at the ticket window. Those standing patiently in line are not there because of her sweet smile, for she almost never smiles at the audience. Nor are they drawn by any warmth in her manner — once the curtain falls, she does not remain onstage for even a second longer. Instead, they have come for the dance performance itself. The instant Odette rises to the tips of her toes, even Snezhnaya’s howling winds seem to fall still.
Her days are divided between the troupe and the Fatui. Her dance practices begin in the early morning, while her training with the Fatui usually stretches late into the night. Her own practices and urgent missions fill whatever time that remains. In the practice room, she stretches to her limits before rising into dance. At the training grounds, she swiftly moves on to her next task after bringing down her opponents. Day after day, she continues like the dancer of a music box, turning without end, as though she never tires, as though she never needs rest.
Alyosha – Electro
Ask anyone in Sretomorozsk about Alyosha, and you’ll find most folk are more than happy to share a few stories. By all accounts, everyone agrees he’s a fine lad: earnest, brave, and kindhearted…
But wait. You haven’t forgotten how merciless Snezhnaya’s snowfields can be, have you? One walk into the frost is all it takes to understand how precious warmth truly is. If there were any other way, no one would choose to stay in this freezing hell. But Alyosha steps into the freezing wild time and time again, staking his life to bring home food, and to bring home hope.
He raises his rifle, pointing it at the prey in front of him. Though his true enemy will always be the bitter frost itself.
“Some ailments cannot be cured by goodwill alone — we all know that, living on this land as we do. But his passion really can melt the snow that has settled in people’s hearts.” — Odette
