*** The Dendro Archon, Buer/Kusanali, may not have been as involved in DirtyBusiness as her fellow Archons, being the youngest of them, but she still has a negative opinion of Celestia, saying that there was no point in all the suffering they inflicted by kickstarting the Archon War. [[spoiler:At the end of the Sumeru Archon Quest, when she, as her current avatar Nahida, threatens to put the Heavenly Principles into play for the first time in half a millennium unless Il Dottore kills all his clones in exchange for the Electro Gnosis, it's not so much her calling for Celestia's help as much as threatening to deliberately draw down its ire, with both Nahida and Dottore seeming to agree that Celestia would ''not'' take well to such a challenge to its authority.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: Gods don't simply slip away peacefully into the afterlife when they die. At bare minimum, their death may unleash all their remaining energy as a FantasticNuke. Even a god as weak as [[spoiler:Havria]] would let off enough power to kill off everyone in a city, and a being as powerful as the Dendro Sovereign Apep could outright let off a WorldWreckingWave.

However, according to ''The History of the Decline and Fall of Remuria'', he foolishly tried to avert his kingdom's prophesied destruction by singing praises to Celestia and [[spoiler:attempted to save his people by assimilating them all into the Golden Ichor and pouring it into the bodies of golems,]] causing the dragon prince Scylla to attack Remuria and ultimately plunging it into the Abyss.

But while Orobashi accidentally came into knowledge forbidden by Celestia and was forced to commit SuicideByCop to save his people and assimilate them into Watatsumi, Remus attempted to ScrewDestiny and save his people from The Prophecy by giving them immortal bodies and using music to free them under the guise of singing praise to Celestia, but was betrayed by Boethius and had his kingdom destroyed and his people refuse to assimilate with the rest of the Fontainians, leading to them losing their minds trapped under the ocean.

* AmbiguousGender: Apep is only ever referred to with it/its pronouns in-game, despite having a female voice. It is unclear if the pronouns refer to Apep's actual gender identity, or if it's to emphasise on Apep's status as [[ItIsDehumanising an enemy of Teyvat's current world order]].

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Her title as the Thousand Winds, and evidence of her worship in Mondstadt, implies she's somehow related to Barbatos/Venti who, before becoming a god, was just one of thousands of wind sprites and who has shown to have limited power over time himself. Many players believe Barbatos to be her creation, an offshoot, or even something akin to her son.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Though it expresses a hatred for Celestia and contempt for its affiliated gods and humans, Apep finds Deshret himself an amusing figure, [[spoiler:particularly because of his desire to break free from Celestia and the Heavenly Principles. To that end, it allowed him to build his civilization in Sumeru under the condition that he would surrender all his knowledge to the Dendro Sovereign in the event of his death]].



* LifeEnergy: As the Dendro Sovereign, Apep has power over life itself, particularly where growth and development are concerned. Its most prominent trait is its ability to change and adapt to suit its needs, [[spoiler:which allowed it to survive the effects of Forbidden Knowledge for hundreds of years, if only just]]. If it ever died, the remaining energy flooding out of its body would trigger such explosive growth in Sumeru's plant life that the Dharma Forest's rainforest ecosystem would collapse from the strain.

* SanitySlippage: Apep ''thinks'' it's sane when it loudly boasts it's one day going to cleanse the world of humans. It fails to realize that hosting the Forbidden Knowledge in any form is insanity personified. [[spoiler:Once it remembers what actual sanity feels like, it realizes that its primary beef is with the gods, and that killing the humans is pointless.]]

* Foreshadowing: In Enkanomiya it is revealed Celestia's gods and Teyvat's vishaps belong to different and largely incompatible systems of power. This basis of this claim is how the highly adaptable Bathysmal Vishaps initially had trouble acclimating to tissue transplants of Orobaxi's coral, and is reinforced by the fact that normal humans unempowered by Visions tend to suffer when exposed to substances like Smaragdus Jadeite, which possess abundant elemental energy despite not actively emitting it as flames or the like. However, a notable exception to this rule has been the Archons, who have repeatedly empowered their corresponding Sovereign - Barbatos blessed Dvalin with the Anemo Archon's power, Morax attempted to compensate for Azhdaha's erosion albeit with ultimately futile results, [[spoiler:and Buer's second story Quest is about her healing Apep, and her powers have a noted similarity to the capabilities of the Dendro lifeforms spawned by the Sovereign]]. This seeming contradiction resolves itself with the reveal that [[spoiler:the Archons possess the stolen powers of the Sovereigns. Therefore, any transfer of power from the former to the latter would be as trivial as donating the Sovereigns' own blood right back to them.]]

* BossBattle: So far, three of the four known Sovereigns are part of weekly boss battles. Notably, while the reborn Sovereigns of Dvalin and Azhdaha are fought themselves, you instead fight the Warden of Apep's Oasis rather than Apep itself. Given that a mere creation of Apep is strong enough to stand on the same power level as the reborn Sovereigns, this suggest that Apep, the ''original'' Dendro Sovereign, is far more powerful than it's counterparts.
