Yae Miko

Yae Miko (Chinese: 八重神子; pinyin: Bāchóng Shénzǐ) is a character from Genshin Impact, a 2020 action role-playing gacha game developed by miHoYo. She debuted in version 2.0 of the game in 2021 as a non-playable character and became playable in 2022. She is the chief priestess, or Guuji, of the Grand Narukami Shrine in the fictional nation of Inazuma and is a familiar of the nation's ruler, the Raiden Shogun. She is also the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the local publishing house. Yae Miko's character is modeled after a Shinto shrine maiden, or miko, and her design draws inspiration from the Japanese kami, Inari Ōkami. Her appearance is similar to that of Yae Sakura, a character from Honkai Impact 3rd, another one of miHoYo's games. As an important character in the Inazuma arc of Genshin Impact's story, Yae Miko has attracted considerable attention and commentary from both players and media. Her character portrayal has generally received positive evaluations, while her combat performance has been regarded as average.
