[3.5] Is Childe Descended From Mondstadt Nobility? - Genshin Impact Character Inspiration Analysis

Welcome to the first episode of Inspired By! A series dedicated solely to mini theories about your favorite characters and their fictional, mythological, and historical inspirations! This episode is on the youngest of the Fatui Harbingers, Childe! Everyone knows about his Commedia Del’Arte inspirations by now, so let’s mix things up a bit and instead talk about some more mythological inspirations, how those relate to his origins and what all of that has to do with Genius Invocation TCG.

Stick around to the end. I promise it’ll be worth your time.
