Ganyu is a Liyue resident in Genshin Impact who has been alive for thousands of years. She was part of the Archon war and has seen the rise of Liyue Harbor. Under the direction of Rex Lapis, she works as the secretary for the Liyue Qixing. Being only half-human gives her the ability to take on an unnatural workload that is more than three times the amount normal humans can handle in a single week.

This makes her one of the most essential parts of Liyue's government. Despite all this, though, Ganyu still finds it hard to believe that she can be accepted by the humans around her.
