The most recent Genshin Impact 4.1 broadcast gave viewers some fascinating new information about the Teyvat universe. The confirmation of the pronouns used for the enigmatic Melusines was one revelation that stands out in particular. The gaming community was very interested in this revelation, especially with reference to Neuvillette’s connection to these aquatic creatures.
The pronouns for Melusines had previously been a bit ambiguous, leading to different interpretations among Travellers. The Genshin Impact 4.1 webcast, however, definitively resolved the issue by stating that Melusines are to be addressed with “she” and “her,” not the impersonal “it/its.”
There has been interest in Neuvillette, a 5-star Hydro Catalyst character first seen in Genshin Impact, in relation to Melusines. The in-universe Seven Nations Gazette gave rise to the rumour that Neuvillette might be the only male Melusine. The Gazette even made a suggestion that Neuvillette had proposed a law requiring the use of the proper pronouns for Melusines.
In Genshin Impact, Neuvillette’s legislation unambiguously stipulates that “she/her” pronouns shall always be used while addressing Melusines, absolutely prohibiting the use of “it/its.” Particularly for Travellers who had not previously looked thoroughly into this area of the world-building, this legal order adds an intriguing layer of lore to the game.
During the Genshin Impact 4.1 livestream at 13:42, captions explicitly state:
Even more intriguingly, Neuvillette added the rule that “melusines are to be addressed using she/her pronouns, never the impersonal it/its” to Fontaine’s writings.
Despite how important this explanation is, it also prompts some intriguing queries about the nature of Melusines. There is no mention of “he/him” in the statute, which suggests that Melusines may only be a female species. It’s crucial to remember that the law does not outline any punishments for disregarding this pronoun usage.
Since the day on August 14, 2023, when he was first introduced to the playerbase, Neuvillette has had a special affection for Melusines. Despite having a reputation for sensationalism, The Seven Nations Gazette has helped spread the myth that Neuvillette is the only Melusine man. But because the legitimacy of the tabloid is in doubt, it’s critical to handle this material with caution.
As expected, fan reactions to Neuvillette and the Melusines have been positive, with lots of adorable fanart appearing online. Neuvillette is sarcastically referred to in certain works as the “Melusine Protector,” in reference to the statute he passed in Fontaine.
One intriguing finding is that Neuvillette will be a playable character in Genshin Impact 4.1, which has a release date of September 27, 2023 and is featured in the update’s first banner. This coincides with the introduction of the latest version update, which promises more advances in the storyline.
In conclusion, Genshin Impact’s confirmation of Melusines’ pronouns deepens the game’s history and raises concerns about the nature of the species. Fans will definitely find the developing plot line between Neuvillette and the Melusines to be fascinating to follow as the game develops. Respect for pronouns is not only a question of good manners in the world of Teyvat, but it is also crucial to comprehending its intricate fabric.
