History Characters / GenshinImpactFurina

The real Hydro Archon, Focalors, is one of the many Oceanid followers of Egeria, the previous Hydro Archon, given a pseudo-human form with a fragment of the power of Primordial Seawater. Following Egeria's death during the Khaenri'ah Cataclysm half a millennium ago, it fell to Focalors, her handpicked heir, to avert a prophecy of Fontaine sinking underneath Primordial Seawater, contact with which will fatally eject the Seawater out of the people, as Celestia's punishment for using Primordial Seawater without their consent. After giving it much thought, Focalors concocted a plan to save the people: convince the Hydro Sovereign, who unlike Egeria could use Primordial Seawater, to grant Fontainians true humanity and thus immunity to the Seawater, with the promise of giving him back his stolen authority; separate her human body from her divine self in the form of Furina, whom she tasked with drawing the eyes of Celestia while she prepared in secret; invite the Sovereign's current incarnation, Neuvillette, to serve as Chief Justice, through which he will learn to empathize and care for humanity; and collect the belief of the people in her justice into the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale to convert them into a force powerful enough to destroy not only herself, but also the throne that trapped the Hydro Sovereign's power and restore his full power.

* MsViceGirl: Settles into this at the end of the Archon Quest. [[spoiler:While she no longer has to put on the [[MilesGloriousus ineffectively boisterous mask]], she still remains quite egocentric and '''{{pr|ide}}oud''', but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold it no longer gets in the way of showing gratitude and kindness]]. She's unimpedingly friendly to those that remained on her side as she fell from grace (most notably the Traveler and the allies they made in Fontaine).]]

* MeaningfulName: Her divine name Focalors is a powerful Great Duke of Hell who has power over winds and the sea, a clear nod of her role as a Hydro Archon. He had hoped to return to heaven after thousand years, but he was deceived in his hope. After her predecessors' inability to appease Celestia to reverse their sentence in regards to the existence of Fontainians, Focalors decides to turn her back from Celestia and clings to the hope that her people will be saved. Her hope to save them is eventually paid off thanks to her gambit.

** ''A Woman Adapts Like Duckweed in Water'' adapts the opening verse[[note]]La Donna è mobile qual piuma al vento ("A woman is fickle like a feather in the wind")[[/note]] of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLdKuWWTSIE  La Donna è mobile]] from {{Theatre/Rigoletto}}.

* AlreadyDoneForYou: Neuvillette consistently expresses his wish to judge the Archons due to their association with Celestia. When he faces Focalors, the successor of the Archon who usurped his authority, she already ruled herself guilty and executed for stealing the Dragon's authority and appropriating the Primordial Sea via association and most especially her BatmanGambit of having Furina deceiving the entire Teyvat by making her pose as the Hydro Archon to ensure that Fontaine will be off the hook from the prophecy. This admission is one of the factors that Neuvillette finally decides to save Fontaine and its people.

* AlreadyDoneForYou: Neuvillette consistently expresses his wish to judge the Archons due to their association with Celestia. When he faced Focalors, the very Archon who usurped his authority, she already ruled herself guilty and executed for stealing the Dragon's authority and appropriating the Primordial Sea via association and most especially her BatmanGambit of having Furina deceiving entire Teyvat by making her pose as the Hydro Archon to ensure that Fontaine will be off the hook from the prophecy.

* AuthoritySoundsDeep: Creator/AmberLeeConnors gives Focalors a more mature voice in the English dub, while it is {{Adverted|Trope}} in the other language voice-overs.

* FertilityGod: In an unconventional manner. Due to Fontainians' original nature as Oceanid pseudo humans that needed the Hydro Archon's permission to reproduce, Focalors single-handedly blessed Fontaine's women with MysticalPregnancy for the 500 years she was in power. Furthermore, her "justice" was to ensure the continuation of Fontaine's existence via her BatmanGambit, and with Neuvillette's help, her people's reproductive freedom become no longer under any god's control.

** In one of her character stories, she was able to figure out that the director she's working for is trying to scam her by pretending to agree with her demands while changing it behind her back.

* SketchySuccessor: To the previous Hydro Archon, Egeria. Egeria was seen as TheHighQueen and was worshipped as the Queen of All Waters. Furina barely gets the respect from her people to be called "Lady".
