The Divine General of the Tiger and the first set of twins representing the same zodiac.

to:

The Divine General of the Tiger and the first set of twins representing the same zodiac. While they are immature and somewhat prone to bickering - to the exasperation of their caretaker Laolao - the pair of Bai (white hair) and Huang (blonde) are nonetheless capable monster hunters and skilled at feng shui, encountering the crew after a long string of monster extermination missions going up in smoke leads to the twins.



The Divine General of the Dragon, she is the representative for the Dragon and first released at the end of 2023.

to:

The Divine General of the Dragon, she is the representative for the Dragon and first released at the end of 2023. Imperious and covetous, she declares the Captain, Lyria, and Vyrn treasures worthy of her hoard soon after meeting them and, at the recommendation of one of her servant shikigami, decides to accompany them on their journey so she can keep her hoard safe.



* {{Hikikomori}}: She prefers to stay indoors and let her familiars do the work. This ends up having a negative impact on her physicality as she's completely winded the moment she walks a few minutes, and uses her weather control power as a crutch to move around.

* ServileSnarker: Each of Payila's shikigami adopt differing personalities that help to differentiate them from one another, and what is seen of shikigami #3 points them towards this. She does not hesitate to lay out the precise faults of her creator's lifestyle choices, and it is a sight to behold.
-->'''Payila:''' "'One who holds no power should not speak as if they do.' You've said more than enough."
-->'''Shikigami 3:''' "'The contradictions of ten thousand cannot choke the conviction of one.' If I am confident that my words are true, I will bravely speak them and face the consequences. Even if you come to despise me, as your shikigami I believe it is my duty to correct you when you veer too far off course."

Added DiffLines:

* ACupAngst: {{Downplayed|trope}}, since she expresses it rather flatly, but poor Bai laments her lack of assets compared to Anthuria when trying to find "mature" ways to present her chocolate to the Captain in the Valentine's Fate Episode. The visuals later on imply she's attempting to prop her personally made chocolate up on her chest, only for it to sadly slip off.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipTease: Their motives for giving chocolate in their Valentine's Fate Episode can veer towards this. Huang, at the very least, is quite worried about how presenting chocolate to the Captain may be interpreted, doggedly insisting in a somewhat {{Tsundere}} manner that it's out of friendship as opposed to anything else. While Bai is much less hung up on it, her intentions of trying to express "maturity" with her chocolate are still somewhat suspect, not to mention she's rather explicit and partial to the idea of presenting ''herself'' as the chocolate until it's shot down.

** Her Summer SSR version is much the same way, with no normal attack and possessing skills and a charge attack that deal no damage; her only native damage potential is a admittedly hefty CounterAttack passive, which she won't be triggering much unless the enemy has a lot of party-wide attacks, or the rest of the party is dead. However, she has the same passive 50/10% CA Damage and Cap boost of her R counterpart specifically for Earth allies while in the front, accelerates the party's charge attack gauges, and supplies a plethora of other tools - including a team-wide healing charge attack and a sub-character swap which grants a powerful buff to the incoming ally if they're also Earth elemental.

It gets to the point that her parents were initially reluctant on handing down their wedding dress to her as they want to give her the freedom of choice.

* PowerLimiter: A portion of Payila's immense power was sealed away in a jewel called the Dragon Pearl by previous Keeper of the Dragon Temple, as her affinity with the power was so great, the previous Keeper feared the risk of Payila losing control. The Dragon Pearl was hidden somewhere in the world to give Payila a reason to go outside, but Payila felt no need to venture out, as her current performance was already sufficient for her temple obligations.
** [[spoiler:The Dragon Pearl was found by an unknown party and shattered into numerous shards that were spread across the world again. While each shard is only a tiny fraction of Payila's power, they are still sufficient enough to break the seal of her Treasure Vault and give the holder control over the weather.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Bovine Buddy will shift her into the [[SuperMode High Gear]] mode, granting her guaranteed TA as well as a supplemental damage and 50% extra wind damage per hit, but it lowers her defenses and it consumes 60% of her charge bar per turn or else it deactivates. Even with her natural high charge gain, it requires an extra charge bar boost to keep it activated at all times, and her first skill has too long a cooldown to be consistently used without regular charge attacks (which are essentially unavailable in High Gear).
