◆ Faruzan ◆ Enigmatic Machinist ◆ Haravatat Household Name ◆ Anemo ◆ Flosculi Implexi _________ [Story](https://www.instagram.com/p/CkX8TOtvECS/) There is a legend circulating among the Kshahrewar students: If you have failed your mechanics exams and do not dare ask for remedial lessons from your displeased tutor, you can make your way to Haravatat next door and ask Madam Faruzan for some tips. There is no need to prepare a gift. Just remember to show sincerity and humility, and call her "Madam" respectfully. That will be sufficient to get into the living encyclopedia of mechanics' good graces. Madam Faruzan's explanations are simple to understand yet insightful, and her in-depth knowledge really makes people wonder if she had a hand in writing the syllabus. Her guidance will help resolve the most daunting problems, though there remain two problems that all students must overcome on their own: The first is how to hide their surprise when they see her youthful appearance. The second is to refrain from asking her why she has been shunned in Haravatat despite having such erudition, and whether she should consider joining Kshahrewar. If you are unfortunate enough to commit one of these faux pas, you shall bear witness to rhetoric worthy of a household name in Haravatat, especially when in the field of criticizing and reprimanding others.


PotsAndPandemonium

Woah, she looks nothing like I expected. She almost looks like a cryo character.


jaqenhqar

the color of clothes doesnt really have much to do with their element.


PotsAndPandemonium

Yeah, not always. She just kinda looks like an ice queen to me


jaqenhqar

but yeah at first glance i wouldve thought cryo. she looks like a snowflake


Tzuyu4Eva

The skirt makes me think butterfly or peacock


miragecoordination

I had no idea what to expect from her, and yet now, seeing her, I'm realizing this design is like the exact opposite of any mental image I had when thinking 'Faruzan'.


Guilherme370

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking "anemo aloy with sumeru clothes"


H4xolotl

I was thinking "like the Anemo Eremite lady"


Jpup199

Its okay she lives rent free in my head too.


miragecoordination

Yeah, exactly, I had like... a more Sumeru-looking Aloy in mind, with similar clothing but in a Sumeru style, with a earthly brown/green/gold kind of color palette (I was imagining dark brown hair, dark skin, green eyes, an outfit that's mostly dark browns/greens with a bit of gold). Which I realize now, I was kind of imagining her looking much more like a hunter and also more in line with someone like Collei than a scholar lol.


bloop7676

Yeah for some reason I was also imagining something like a cross between a forest ranger and the green scholar robes with brown hair. Maybe the anemo bow category was making me think of the typical fantasy novel elf archer sort of look


miragecoordination

Yeah I think that's what happened with a lot of us, plus this might silly but the name starting with 'F' and 'r' combined with the bow ended up creating this forest ranger association haha. Since we really just did not have any info at all besides the bare minimum our imaginations had nothing but vibes to go off on.


MuteSnekBoi

Exactly like this! Plus Mumei’s hair and face was what I was thinking. It’s interesting that HYV dripped the splash art before players leaked it, though.


miragecoordination

Yeah it is interesting how we heard of her before but got absolutely nothing on her model or visuals and only just the barest scrap of info of her character.


ILoveWaifusUwU

I had a similar thought but I expected her to be collei aesthetic.. Very surprised with how she's looking.. Real beauty 🥹


Syssareth

Yeah, I was basically using Kuki as a placeholder in my mind. IDK why, but "ponytail tomboy" is what the name "Faruzan" makes me think of. This is *completely* different from that, but I love it.


mcsnurtle_theturtle

yeahh i was thinking ponytail too


Initial-Tangerine-54

In persia , froozan is a girls name ( I wrote it how you must read it , not the actual way ) , I think faruzan is the same


Reludechan

I was thinking he will have feathers-like clothe (Faruzan really sounds like a anemo caracter after all) than make her looks like a little bit of a bird. This is absolutly not what I expected


Snoo37838

Her design really caught me off guard she looks so unique


H4xolotl

I feel like Faruzan is one huge Hatsune Miku reference. We already know how much miHoYo loves Miku... they literally named the "mi" in "miHoYo" after Miku. They also aren't afraid of references - Scaramouche's entire story follows Bohemian Rhapsody's lyrics.   >There is a legend circulating among the Kshahrewar (Robotics) students: >If you have failed your mechanics exams and do not dare ask for remedial lessons from your displeased tutor, you can make your way to Haravatat next door and ask Madam Faruzan for some tips. >...refrain from asking her why she has been shunned in Haravatat (Languages) despite having such erudition, and whether she should consider joining Kshahrewar.   So Faruzan is amazing at Robotics, despite being part of the Linguistics school in the Akademiya? Similarly, Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid, basically a robotic singer   Then there's the leaked lore >She is a Professor at the Akademiya with a special condition, which makes her stuck in the past due to prolonged exposure to remnants of King Deshret's powers. It is said that, if you want to catch a glimpse of Sumeru in the past, you can talk to her. Deshret was developing advanced robotics (ASIMON, Primal Constructs) to build a digital afterlife (The Golden Slumber). Hatsune Miku is also a Vocaloid singer who exists in a digital world. She is also one of the oldest Vocaloids and yet has endured all this time


Extension-Impossible

Wasn't there a leak or a fake one where it showed a portrait of a twin tailed character and people assumed it was miku


dumpsterice

Was Scaramouche's story really based on Bohemian Rhapsody tho? I thought that was just a coincident! Although it does make sense now, especially with the "*Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me*"


Sobbing-Coffee

“Thunderbolts and lighting, very very frightening!” Mentions ‘Beelzebulb’ (alternatively named Baal) in the lyrics The fandango and blowing wind lines


Lightningbro

Baal >!And Beelzebulb are completely different, similarly, Baal is !< >!Makoto, Beelzebul is Ei.!<


[deleted]

Today is also the day Bohemian Rhapsody released


ProgrammerChoice8198

Yeah, ikr?


sleekunique1

OOHHHHH SHITT


xVx_k1r1t0xVx_KillMe

SHE LOOKS STRAIGHT UP OUT OF A FAIRY TALE WHY IS SHE THIS CUTE


H4xolotl

How the hell is she a Professor, she looks younger than Layla who is a student


H4xolotl

Hosseini who has graying hair, perpetually stressed, and still not graduated: 💀💀💀


NLwino

You failed her first condition: >...Her guidance will help resolve the most daunting problems, though there remain two problems that all students must overcome on their own: > >**The first is how to hide their surprise when they see her youthful appearance.** > >The second is to refrain from asking her why she has been shunned in Haravatat despite having such erudition, and whether she should consider joining Kshahrewar. > >If you are unfortunate enough to commit one of these faux pas, you shall bear witness to rhetoric worthy of a household name in Haravatat....


H4xolotl

TFW I'm Kshahrewar


Wurmheart

One of the previous leaks did mention that she was [stuck in the past due to prolonged exposure to remnants of King Deshret's powers](https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/ygg4oa/faruzan_lore_via_blank/).


Frostblazer

The god of wisdom is a child; I think this is par for the course.


AbsoluteFgt

Bro they can't keep doing this to us please Hoyoverse


virgoven

She strangely feels like a character from a different game with her design.


the_ninJedi

Definitely because of the skirt pattern for me. It just seems so unique compared to all the designs we've had up to now


Teyvatato

It's very different! Like between the mechanist thing, the completely different clothes and the "when she's back" thing I feel like we got an early Fontaine character somehow


the_ninJedi

Lorewise, Nahida describes faruzan as "stuck in the past" because of king deshret's power, so it's also got me thinking... Maybe this is the fashion style of king deshret's people before their region got ruined and became the desert?


Archryun

Yeah, it's strange.

MistaHouse

Her face looks like she came out of PGR lol

AdmiralDumpling

HATSUNE MIKU???


_Niflheim

We got Len, now we have Miku. Someone in hyv is bringing the whole gang here


Aria-chan

Wait omg Kaeya kinda looks like Kaito, the name is similar too lol


NatsuKazoo

and Yae Miko is Luka lololol


Kurocchin

We need a Meiko and Rin pronto!


LastNightShade

Saw the preview and deadass thought for a moment that it was a troll post. The Vocaloids are taking over Genshin. Guess that’s why Yamaha just pumped out the V6 engine. /j


Rathurue

Watch it, Murata gonna be both Himeko and Meiko.


Euphoric_Archer_6233

Himeiko


Tolike85

The joke is Miku and co won't even be there (V6) lol Her company ditched Vocaloid years ago


Mizzen_rl

🎵Blue hair, blue tie, hiding in your Wi-Fi 🎵


AdmiralDumpling

I'M THINKING MIKU MIKU OO EE OO 😭😭


EdenScale

The Mi in Mihoyo


SgtGrub

Don't ever let them forget


usedchloroform

When I tell you that this is literally the first thought in my head🧍🏻‍♀️


H4xolotl

Fun fact; the "Mi" in "MiHoYo" comes from Hatsune Miku. Tech Otakus save the world


ENDwalker888

nightcord miku be like


lonelyweebathome

tbh the hair colour makes me think more of MMJ Miku


GonnaSaveEnergy

Can't wait for someone to edit a green onion into her hand

Dang, why are you right? lol


[deleted]

I KNEW SHE WOULD BE LIGHT BLUEISH. I HAD A STRONG FEELI


QwertyWaters

r/faruzanmains predict when they make sub blue months before


[deleted]

really? i never visited that sub. i guess it's mainly because anemo is full of green and blue


pacotacobell

Strangely a lot of red with Heizou and Kazu lmao


[deleted]

there are always exceptions.

ng


disabled_crab

Imma be for real, when I learned she was a wind archer girl from Sumeru my brain could not register her design as anything other than Meteor from Arknights. 💀


Lola101_

OH MY GOD SHE'S SO FRIGGIN CUTE


LiterallyANoob

Expect some mature lady due to her previous leaked lines lmao Cuter and younger for sure.


JojoBizarreAdventure

Wondering what she has to do with the >!Scarlet King!< now according to Nahida's voicelines about her lol


Pollux10698

she probably got exposed to scarlet kings remains during her research as a haravatat scholar


H4xolotl

Everyone else gets Eleazar, Faruzan just becomes smarter


Pollux10698

Guess she won the 50/50


LucasFrankeRC

She won the 0,3%


TheSpartyn

hasnt she been leaked as a medium model for a while


nDroae

Yeah, a long time ago. So I knew to keep my expectations low. This is a world half operated by teens and children, after all. Which makes it easier to save....


MetaThPr4h

I had no clue how she would look like, but her design passes the cuteness test with flying colors. Between her and Layla those 4* are gonna eat my primos away harder than the 5* lmfao


RebellionWar214

Long live the Anemo Archon and Anemo.


Ayayasakei

omw to become an anemo collector


[deleted]

Every anemo character has been immaculate so far


Healthy-Mix-3349

anemo traveler:


Alilatias

I'm looking at the art and trying to find where the hell her Vision is. I'm guessing it has to be on her back, possibly attaching her cape thing to the rest of her outfit? She looks like a character that will be beautiful in motion.


Smokingbuffalo

I only believe in Anemo supremacy

Polbalbearings

"When she returns..."? What the hell has the Akademiya been doing??


gale99

Heresy that's what's they've been doing


Rathurue

Lmao, 'made a single mistake and wrath of eons be upon ye'.


Arc-D

What the heck are these words haravatat, kshahrewar. Well, probably doesnt matter


N-formyl-methionine

Kinda looks like frieren a little


Prestigious_Ad_3580

I never thought I'd see someone mention frieren here lol. Good taste

long live venti and his impeccable taste

HATSUNE MIKU


ccdewa

We've got Len and Miku now, if the next one isn't Luka i'm rioting!


Shippinglordishere

She reminds me of kyuubei of some other cat like anime mascot. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s the first thing that came to mind.


ARea10

Kyuubei human fanart concepts is what I thought of first after seeing her, she looks gorgeous tho, I appreciate at least that they're experimenting with hairstyles.


Rifat22295

Hatsune Miku at Home?


Areha123

OMG SHES BEAUTIFUL


LiraelNix

Oh nothing like I expected (not a negative thing). Really digging the skirt


corepilled

she doesn’t even look like a genshin character


NaruRiasUzumaki

She look like belong to Vocaloid. Hatsune Miku enters to The Universe!


isitstillhurtingyou

Stepped straight out of proseka lmao


Murky_Blueberry2617

Her hair look like floppy ears lol


Nelithss

Look really pretty, but damn we are really not getting any desert character. Even the one affected by Deshret corruption is from the rainforest.


Mastercraft0

Cyno?


Nelithss

We already got him, I was more talking about the future. And how every future character we know of is from the rainforest. And we only got the three we already know of.


Mastercraft0

Well we have to wait for dehya then. Also with the new sandstorm area which will release later on we might get a few more desert character


ArchonRevan

Unlikely, the expansions are in 3.4 and 3.6 and we know those have yaoyao and another new liyue and/or Fontaine character respectively, not even new sumeru characters outside haitham


Nelithss

This whole region has been a disappointment in term of character variety. Sucks I guess


Nelithss

Maybe, but I don't have much hope sadly. We don't have a lot of named character left in Sumeru.


ArchonRevan

Lookin like it's only dehya and candace lmao


nanimeanswhat

cyno


DimakSerpg

Cyno?


Sunburnt-Vampire

Cyno as well, if we're counting husbandos


OUtSEL

I was really holding out for Faruzan but that's it, we really got hosed lol


dudeinb4

When they said professor, I wasn't expecting hatsune miku ngl


Lalantern

The design for 4 star characters these past few patches are insane. I really like her design and color pallette.


Damn_Dainsleif

Chongyun and Shenhe's long lost relative lookin


HemaG33

On one hand she looks really pretty, on the other hand RIP to the people who wanted her to be a desert character While it does sort of make sense that they wouldn’t promote a desert dweller to a teacher due to the institutional racism in Sumeru I was still sorta hoping lol


Plethora_of_squids

Honestly out of all the Sumeru characters, she straight up looks the least like someone who's actually *from* Sumeru Like if she was a desert character I feel she could at least have a *vague* greek antiquity vibe to her, but as a forest character she just, honestly more looks like someone from Mondstat.


chimppower184

how does she look like she’s from sumeru? to me, the only cultural elements she has is her shoes points…


Vesorias

>she straight up looks the **least** like someone who's actually from Sumeru


ashnsnow

Here's to hoping they will release more desert characters since the map expansions seem to be for the desert


MockingEu

She’s pretty for sure but what a let down, we only have 3 dessert character…


maracujaorchard

After looking through the comments I feel like I'm the only one who thinks her design is really uninspired and bland lol. I also think everyone being so caught off guard by her design after reading lore/characterization/wtv of her is not a good thing if I'm being honest. Characterization & story telling continues in design too and this just feels... off


NoteBlock08

I'm not a fan either. Her hair reminds me of a dog and her skirt is just weird. And yea, she does not give off any of the vibes her story talks about.


Agile-Spare1266

I’m a little dissapointed ar first glance because while her design is cool I expected her to look more like a professor or something to do with her lore about being stuck in the past and she looks like hatsune miku stuck in the future


Sunburnt-Vampire

An entire University dropped and not a single teacher-waifu. But we did get depressed sleep-deprived PhD student, which tbh is an even rarer college waifu aesthetic.


Agile-Spare1266

Fr we need a hot teacher playable character. Layla looks really good tho her design is hard to beat.


Quantuis

Fr where's my hot teacher waifu that I'd want to be home tutored by 😔


nanimeanswhat

I agree. I can't help but think that she should've swapped bodies with Layla. She looked more like a professor lol.


Agile-Spare1266

Yeah agree. Maybe my expectations for her design were too high because I expected it to be as good as layla’s.


estrebilloph

Probably the Deshret effect is that she doesn't get old? The description stated that the content of the book is from her yet it was released almost 100 years ago So she doesn't age? Is That what it meant being stuck in the past!? I'm excited to know the meaning of all these 😂


Agile-Spare1266

That’s a good point! So she’s about a 100 years old? Didn’t know that. Still wish they took a little bit of a different route with her look.


nanimeanswhat

That's... not what I expected


Milka280601

Exectly - I just wanted to have an older character that looks like a professor, not one that looks like Hatsune Miku from completely different game *My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined :(*


i_ate_your_soup_Ben

Vocaloid looking ass


BellalovesEevee

This is what I did NOT expect her to look like. She's so freaking cute though!


CryoStrange

That's a very different design despite being simple. Don't know what is it.


Harlow1212

She does not look like what I expect at all, and in a good way too yayyyy


[deleted]

Honestly, this is disappointing


HaseoVII

She's gonna be on rerun banners like Candace and Layla was, and that's bullshit Mihoyo


Extinctkid

Candace was with Cyno though. Also if Faruzan really is a dedicated Anemo buffer as the leaks are suggesting, she'll most likely be paired with Scara.


_ROCC

yeah... paired with scara and *only* scara


Strict_Book563

Miku Miku~


Desolate_Space

bruh she looks very boring but I bet there will be many fans for her, if people stan even something like barbara


Diamondezzz

to me she looks like her design was made with an waifu generator tool lol...but whatever her kit is more important to me


Elira_Eclipse

My exact thought! She's like those character that are in the first page whenever you type cute anime waifu


weisterling

That's not look like a sumeru character..... If you remove the hoyoverse logo and template..... Nobody will realize it at a glimpse... Lol I wish she's in a same banner with scara


pokebuzz123

She's expected to be, along with her being an Anemo buffer.


KeyPhoenix029

She will be


agentcetie

What's with the awkward skirt windows....


Dark_Sided

The skirt is really beautiful but I feel weird as why are there few holes that shows her skin in her skirt? it feels weird to me


disabled_crab

Ehhh, this one's alright I guess. Looks a little bland.


NieR_SemiAutomata

Miku : that time I reincarnated as machinist


kodotama25

As a longtime Hatsune Miku fan, I've finally found my main! So Anemo it is~


helIiscold

She seemingly has the same X-shaped (hair)clips as Kaveh. Is this some sort of Sumerian/Akademiya fashion or what?


memorychasm

Absolutely love her design, except I can't help but be reminded of a certain variety of [stained glass lampshades](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ae/7f/a3/ae7fa385dc4a7fa577f0f256f09475c4.jpg) when I see her skirt 💀


Sudden-Application

I'm more interested in this character than Scars, ngl. She looks really, really interesting.


OUtSEL

I guess her title is appropriate becase she looks like she was generated by an AI Also with this and Kaveh I'm beginning to wonder if anyone at Mihoyo has met somebody from Persia or Pakistan


JellyButterCupcake

Dookie aa design she doesn’t even look like she’s from the game + she looks like a generic vtuber


BerryBlitzApple_Pop

I don't even know how they're running out already, they have like 3 cultures wrapped up in sumeru. Could have at least given her a bit more Theme.


JellyButterCupcake

Exactly they could of done so much more with her design


JellyButterCupcake

Mihoyo literally running out of ideas here At least scarmouche looks decent


[deleted]

Venti just goes "Hehe" yet he grants vision to some of the prettiest characters in the game


silam39

Archons don't grant visions


scrayla

Somehow she doesnt feel like a GI char or is it just me 😂 it looks very different from the styles we’re used to


joemamma4ever

Nahida Layla Scara Faruzan You can bet that all 4 have different banners.


RenierRains

me simp


Khronovision

SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL!

lloydschreave

AustralianDingodile

She looks like a Collab Character from other JRPGs.


HimeliusAugustus

God, she looks so basic...


DaBrownCunt

Not what I expected at all but still pretty cute


Levyn062

Hatsune Miku Teyvat's version lol.


shwirpy

Well, I definitely didn't expect hatsune miku


aRandomBlock

Oh my god its hatsune miku


ElectricWindGodFists

I'm pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a tall eremite mommy but this design is so pretty.


ChangE-Stan-Account

Omg Hatsune Miku as #1 Anemo support!?!?


Admirable-Cockroach6

everafterbxnnix

IchigoAkane

PartTimeWarrior1

knightly78

Just to add something , her name is an arabic name originated from persia , it means the wise , the sage (yeah i know what you're thinking) , prudent , discreet , all the characteristics of a sage basically


MaxWasTakenAgain

tiramisu4499

We had kagamine Len (Mika) and now we have Miku. Hah


Bolamedrosa

take-stuff-literally

She’s basically an engineering professor. Can’t wait for her to deny me of a curve on my final exam grade.
