* MysteriousPast: According to Furina, Neuvillette is several thousands years old, which means he's lived through the Cataclysm, and his current 500 years of tenure as Iudex is relatively short in comparison. As of v4.4, there is very little concrete information about his pre-Iudex life - he has likely been around since the establishment of Fontaine by Egeria, but he has never met her, and by most accounts seemed to have lived alone ''somewhere'' before being invited to the Court of Fontaine.

* ElementalPersonalities: Like [[MakingASplash water]], he is calm, collected, [[ApologizesALot very accommodating]], and [[ProneToTears has a surprisingly soft personality]]. Also like water, mistaking it for weakness will end ''very'' badly for you.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Water. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really]]; not just "drink", [[InsistentTerminology "food"]]. He notes that animals can survive weeks without food but only days without water, and claims that pure water is the best dish in the world, with dishes with high water content as the next best thing. In addition, Neuvillette is an avid ''water'' connoisseur, able to perceive and enjoy the minute differences between water samples including place of origin and preparation method in the same way worldly individuals like Zhongli would be able to enjoy tea. Although, he doesn't mind eating normal food as long as it's rich in liquids. He also can't stand dry . [[spoiler:Would anyone really expect anything less of the Sovereign of ''Water''?]]
* TragicKeepsake: Played with. [[spoiler: Even though it belonged to him in the first place, the returned authority as the Hydro Sovereign ends up like this, due to Focalors sentencing herself to the death sentence, as he's the only person who witnessed her execution.]]

* FaceOfAThug: As if his reputation as Iudex wasn't enough to give him an intimidating presence, Neuvillette is a PerpetualFrowner with a stern-looking face. However, as the Traveler and Paimon quickly figure out upon meeting him at Lyney's magic show, he's actually a NiceGuy with NoSocialSkills.



** In Arlecchino's story quest, [[spoiler: he agrees to allow any "children" she expels from the House of the Hearth after inflicting them with LaserGuidedAmnesia go unpunished for any crimes they may have committed as members, in exchange for her progressively pulling her forces out of Fontaine and ceasing to perform any [[VigilanteMan special operations]] unless they prove absolutely necessary.]]



* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: One of his idle animations has raindrops falling on him. In the overworld, said animation places the Wet status onto him.

One of his idle animations has raindrops falling on him. In the overworld, said animation places the Wet status onto him.him.
** As Chief Justice, he's Furina's NumberTwo who supports her in her rule of Fontaine, and despite being a ServileSnarker who can become weary from her eccentricities, is nonetheless loyal and protective of her. [[spoiler: And after the Fontaine Archon quest, where Furina has abdicated the throne and allows him to take over, Neuvillette still does his best to support her for her service to Fontaine and doesn't press charge over the fraud she committed in the process, which she herself is grateful for.]] Fittingly, the two have amazing synergy in gameplay; not only does putting them on the same team grant the team Hydro Resonance, giving the two a boost to their HP and in turn their personal damage, but Neuvillette's constantly [[CastFromHitpoints draining]] and [[LootMakingAttack replenishing]] of his own HP allows Furina to easily accumulate "Fanfare" stacks from her Elemental Burst, boosting the damage of both Neuvillette's ChargedAttack and Furina's ''Salon Solitaire''.

* WaveMotionGun: His ChargedAttack takes the form of a huge stream of water.

Added DiffLines:

* SubvertedCatchphrase: Played with, since he never actually use the phrase himself, but it is a very common saying across the legal profession (i.e., his field). When he gets a sufficiently strong hit from an enemy, he would at times say "Justice is blindsided!"

Added DiffLines:

* AchillesHeel: Neuvillette has tremendous damage potential, but that's tied with his ability to keep his Charged Attack up. He's probably second most sensitive character after The Wanderer in regards to interruption; very small projectiles won't bother him, but a smack from a Hilichurl would interrupt his Charged Attack and reduce his overall DPS, even if he has the HP to tank the damage. Subverted if you get him to C1, as that grants him massive interruption resistance, to the point of ImmuneToFlinching.


Added DiffLines:

* ImmuneToFlinching: His C1 upgrade grants him super armor while using his Charged Attack, essentially [[RemovedAchillesHeel removing his one weakness.]]

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In much the same way no one ever comments on Paimon being a unique peculiarity in Teyvat, the people of Fontaine don't know and don't wonder what Neuvillette is or question how he has served as Iudex for roughly 500 years. At most they treat him as something other than human without ever outright acknowledging it.

** [[spoiler:Even with his disdain for most of the other archons, even he can't help but express sympathy toward Nahida for everything she went through. While he still intends to pass judgement, Nahida is the only Archon aside from Focalors whom has shows no contempt toward and instead acknowledges that the abuse she had suffered was cruel along with recognizing the responsibility she displays.
