Zibai

Zibai (Chinese: 兹白; pinyin: Zībái) is a character from the video game Genshin Impact, developed by miHoYo. Zibai was released in version "Luna IV" of the game in early 2026. In the story, she is a divine figure connected to Celestia (a mysterious island floating above Teyvat, from which Teyvat is ruled), the three moon goddesses of Teyvat, and the ancient kingdom of Lang-Gan, where she serves as a guardian of agriculture and the harvest. After defying Celestia in an effort to save Lang-Gan, her soul is shattered into three different incarnations. The game's protagonist, the Traveler, must recover these fragments of her soul before they disappear, allowing Zibai to be reborn whole. Her story arc emphasizes her transition from an aloof divine role toward a more human sense of responsibility and sacrifice. Zibai's design draws on the mythical creature of the same name described in the Chinese historical text Yi Zhou Shu, combining colorful imagery with horse-like details. Critics praised the depth of the historical and mythological references related to Zibai, while an accompanying poem called "Odes of Lang - Zibai" prompted discussion among players about traditional Chinese culture.
