Ningguang Explained | Genshin Impact Lore



This video contains spoilers for the Genshin Impact quest A New Star Approaches so if you haven’t completed the whole questline and don’t want to know what happens, refrain from watching this video.

In this video we’ll be looking into the lore and story of Ningguang, her background, her personality and the relationships she has with the people of Liyue Harbor. She’s one of my favourite characters and it felt right to make a video about her during the Lantern Rite Festival as she is arguably the face of Liyue.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Here’s my sources if you want to dig a little deeper:

Apologies for the quality of some footage not being too great, I had to grind an alt account on my potato pc to get to AR35 for the Jade Chamber cutscenes so it’s not as smooth as I’d like. Shouldn’t be a problem from now on though.
Also the UI appearing at the top right on some scenes is something new Mihoyo changed on the camera, I hope they change it back to just being the Genshin logo again but hopefully it’s not too distracting.

  1. what do you think about "flower for princess Fischl" book? what princess Fischl experienced about her kingdom being destroyed and Khaenria'h is oddly similiar and how Amy dressed like princess Fischl looks like someone from Khaenria'h

  2. I have spammed all your lore videos today after discovering your channel and must say I absolutely love them, and love cross referencing your ideas with others such as Teyvat Historia's. I know these videos are not getting the views they deserve, but I just wanted to say I appreciate them and hope you keep them coming!

  3. Most people: *Gets anxiety over spoilers*
    Me(who can't pass through Chapter 1 Act 1 Dvalin boss fight due to the breakdown of Monstadt's Space-Time Continuum caused by Dvalin 3D mesh): I see this as an absolute win.

    Thanks for the character breakdown, The Laughing Man. Very well done! I will be looking forward to understanding more of the Genshin Impact's world building and characters through your video analysis, liked and subbed!👍

  4. Her using the Jade Chamber as a bomb to subdue the God of the Vortex Osial was a big sacrifice. Her floating mansion was not a testament to her wealth but her sheer hard work and craft for honest business. How she, a lowly merchant, became Tianquan of the Qixing. I'm hoping to see her character quest. Hopefully, MHY won't forget.

  5. It's curious that her symbol is the Phoenix, and Rex Lapis took the form of a Dragon – which together symbolizes the balance needed for married life in Chinese Mythology. Nothing much to think about here, its just the shipper in me I guess lol

  6. It occured to me that the jeweler girl and the little food enthusiast girl in modstadt might've been "one of her people" as Ningguang puts it. They're the only Liyue people I've seen in the city, and they're both positioned near the tavern, a place where people (and knights) gather frequently to drink and talk. Mondstadt people love to drink; It wouldn't be surprising if they heard something from a couple of drunk knights, or just heard some talk in general, in a social-gathering area.

  7. She has such a special place in my heart. Even before getting her I knew she was going to be my favorite character. Even as new characters come out and I gain some I still can’t break away from Ningguang as my main unit.

    It’s like if they don’t accommodate her team I discard them. I sometimes forget she’s a 4 star.
    But it’s more than that, I’ve just come a long way with her. From throwing weak rocks to nuking whole bosses in seconds. She’s my comfort character. Love ya geo mom!

  8. Hello mr. Laughing Man, excellent vid! Wanted to check out more character lore breakdowns, but your on channel does not appear any, including this one. Probably issue on my side, but if not, wanted to warn you to take a look at your youtube studio, if something didn’t happen there. Hopefully all your content appears for other people, so they can check you out 🙂
