Welcome back for the next installment of my design analysis series of Genshin Impact characters!

This time we're taking a closer look at Sigewinne and her Melusine friends. They brightened up our time in Fontaine so much, and this analysis was an absolute delight to make. Having a chance to delve into some Irish history was especially cool :D

Huge thank you to everyone for your continuous and abundant support ♡
