This is the despite the fact that Chonrei's introductory cutscene has him rather quickly address Chonshu as his "little brother".

* It'd probably be quicker to list the male characters this trope ''doesn't'' apply to in ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact''. The visual style the game favours means that almost every character looks somewhat feminine at first glance, further emphasised by the fact that men in Teyvat clearly dislike growing out their facial hair but do tend towards long braids and otherwise feminine-coded haircuts. Only Zhongli and Tartaglia break the mould even a little, and they're still both pretty {{Bishonen}}.

Being voiced by ''Creator/AyumuMurase'' (who is famed for his feminine voice in the Japanese dub) and being [[CrossdressingVoices outright voiced by]] [[Creator/ErikaHarlacher a woman]] in the English dub are contributing factors to the confusion. [[spoiler:His high voice and cute face likely caused the people of Mondstadt to refer to Barbatos with gender-neutral pronouns even if he identifies himself as a male.]]

** Xingqiu's [[DudeLooksLikeALady slender and feminine build]] frequently gets him mistaken for a girl, and much like Venti; and being ''very obviously'' [[CrossdressingVoices voiced by a woman]] in both [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela English]] and [[Creator/JunkoMinagawa Japanese]] doesn't help much.

** Probably the mother of all tropes in Mario and maybe Video Games as a whole is Birdo. Birdo is supposed to be a guy, but he is pink, wears a big jumbo ribbon on his head and has eyelashes, Nintendo originally had Birdo as a guy, but over the years Birdo has a feminine voice and what looks like an engagement ring. Birdo’s gender would be inconsistent and disputed for many years, possibly even today and in the future.
