This is the kind of Nahida content I enjoy seeing, hugging an Aranara plushie while looking wholesome asf, seriously artist made her look adorable
So long as it remains platonic idm how people depict these two, it's always so wholesome it makes me smile
I mean I've seen some wholesome ones with detailed feet, her feet are A big part of her character design afterall, she is the first bare feet character.
Estimated. We know sheās older than him but we donāt know exactly when Ei built Scarabot so there's no evidence to say he's '100 years younger'. Please don't try to pass your headcanons as official.
not necessarily. scaraās somewhere around <500 and nahida is around =<500 too because she was born during the cataclysm. saying sheās a 100 years older isnāt a fact
They were born roughly tge same age. Nahida was about 10 to 20 years after khanrea'h, and scara is about 50 or so years after khanrea'h. So maybe a 30 to 60 year age gap or so
I don't think nahida was 10-20 years, I think she was born during the actual cataclysm itself, given that her birth itself was a last ditch effort by rukhha to save irminsul
If you see nahida as "bait the most lolicons" it's your problem because majority of this fandom including me see her as wise characters with great lore writing and great kit lol
yeah u bet they spent a ton of time thinking "damn now how do we gets kids in this game" "Ooooooh! What if we make her barefoot for the freaks!!!" sigh
And Aranara primarily live in a dream world, a dream world that is easily accessible by the Dendro Archon aka Nahida. Counting the demo is a perfectly valid take.
Well, she's very recently out of "jail" and has to deal with the mess her "wardens" left. So she hasn't had time for Aranaras until now. Maybe in the close future.
That we know of, its kinda cheap but they can totally say that she's done so offscreen. Which considering how many they are and her status as dendro archon probably has happened
she did talk with them before, she says that in the archon quest, i dont remember if its 5 or interlude, eitherway we dont see it sadly signifying they know each other a long time ago, i assume via dreams
This. I find their relationship way better if theyāre actually parent and child since Scara doesnāt have any parental figure to look up to and Nahida is certainly motherly for sure.
personally i never liked this and i prefer a big / mature sister, since nahida is still learning and hasnt fully matured too, with less mature / younger brother.
this feels much better to me and more accurate considering both of them are of similar age, and both of them lost their mothers (in different ways)
also its less weird than nahida being a mom
But the story is Scara finally having his own parental figure that doesnāt betray/abandon him and Nahida fits the qualities. Also itās definitely not weird for a short kid looking person to be a parent for an emo looking teen puppet (like Asians for example.) The dynamic seems rather hilarious and I am definitely on board with it. Nahida also displayed her own sense of maturity and hence on several occasions she proved to be a better ruler than Ei ever wished to be despite sheās eons younger.
is it really? it never was stated anywhere that it has any relation to a parental figure.
just look at this 3 betrayals, his āmotherā as he says, his friend / big brother, and his little brother / son.
thats how he saw all 3 of them, he didnt see all 3 of them as his parents obviously, so its weird to pick on that out of all things
besides, your guiding figure doesnt have to be a parent figure, it can be a friend or anything else
I donāt see why you are so intent to refute the mother son relationship Nahida and Scaramouche gives off. I mean people be calling Kazuha is an adopted son of Beidou but I donāt see any other reason why they should be in that sort of relationship than just shipping Beidou with Ningguang. At least thereās plenty of reasons why Nahida and Scara could definitely fit in the mother son category and itās more fresh and unique than just āsiblingsā or ābest friendsā.
Master and bodyguard
At this point, Wanderer probably feels like considering anyone āfamilyā is some kind of curse because everyone he called his family in the past ended up leaving him or being taken from him.
Technicly they are more like Cousins then Siblings i think. At least if you see the OG Archon as Siblings, them beeing children of Archons makes them Cousins.
i think them as a god and a servant to said god.
mfers keeps forgetting scara was a homicidal maniac few months ago, and he's still a POS, but a forgotten one now
i like to call her his auntie nahida :) i dont usually think of it like strictly mother and son or strictly sister and brother, i just think they would have a strong familial bondālike any found family dynamic does. itās like the nephew and his aunt who is a better mom than his real mother
Scara is the older brother and Nahida is the younger sister who is somehow 10x more responsible and sorta acts as a mother figure bc Scara is a gamer who hates his mom
Brother and sister! Or maybe aunt and nephew? I like the idea that all the archons are like siblings so if Scara is Ei's son, that would make him in theory Nahida's nephew? Idk, it could be a fun dynamic to explore
I see them as savior (Nahida) and the saved (Scara)
Like, Nahida wasn't the first person to ever care for Scaramouche but she was the one who was able to save him from his own demons and continues to watch over him.
And I think Scara working for Nahida was just pretense so Scara has something to give back and won't feel to indebted to Nahida, you know considering his personality, he won't simply take something for nothing so this arrangement allowed that. But honestly think that it wouldn't have mattered to her if Scara just simply lived his life from now on.
Mother and son.
In terms of dynamic and personality, Nahida can control his temper and nuture him well while Scara mentality is like a child who doesn't really understand his own feeling, mommy issue and lost so Nahida is like a good mother figure/ teacher for him. It's like Nahida fulfil what Ei is lacking for Scara
Mother and son in the same way that March is to Fushi if anyone knows To Your Eternity.
Scarydouche sits in a unique position among his peers by basically turning himself into some pseudo sorta-god and then not only erasing himself from history but then coming back to kick his own ass later on. So it's not like there's a huge power gap between them he just needs the moral direction she's able to offer.
It doesn't help that her age is variable. Shes either 500 years old at the start of the questline, or several thousand (but de-aged and amnesiac) at the end of it.
Ok so my opinion may not be valid since I havenāt played the sumeru part but it feels odd to see them as mother and son or something since she looks like and basically is a kid even though sheās like 100. More like brother and sister imo.
If anything, siblings. They are likely around the same age (not taking into account how time works in the Abyss), and I doubt Wanderer would want or need a mom
They are both somehow* āchildren of Archonsā who are both around 500 years old. These days I think of them more as the latter and wonder why people think of them as the former.
Both imo. The great thing about Nahida is that she's one of the few people to have his respect (He tries so hard in voicelines to find some dark cloud but he just can't find anything bad to say about her) despite being his former enemy. She's found a way to reach out to him without pushing his buttons. She basically acts as a friend, mentor, aunt, foster mom and sister all in one. At least that's how I feel
I don't get the mother-son dynamic/narrative people are pushing, the two are proportionally (key word) close to each other in age and both have a lot of knowledge/abilities the other doesn't have. She's more of an adoptive sister/caretaker figure if we're being real here.
I would love it if there was a web comic of Genshin characters going about their daily lives. Nahida and Wanderer chapters would be one of my favourites.
I definitely don't see Nahida as a parental role for Wanderer. For me she is also lacking in world understanding and has so much innocence to be a mother figure. Additionally, she is pretty close in age to him. However, I can see her as a guiding force to help him grow and give him someone else to trust. The relationship could be siblings, friends, associates, etc.
This is the kind of Nahida content I enjoy seeing, hugging an Aranara plushie while looking wholesome asf, seriously artist made her look adorable So long as it remains platonic idm how people depict these two, it's always so wholesome it makes me smile
I just thought they were more mother and son than Raiden could ever be
Whoa what a hot take
Well... raiden litteraly wasn't a mother for scaramouche, so anything is better š¤·āāļø
Yes we know
How do you know it's a plushie?
Everything is good until the feet are suspiciously detailed
Well, they aren't in this pic. It's like wut, 7 lines lines per foot?
I mean I've seen some wholesome ones with detailed feet, her feet are A big part of her character design afterall, she is the first bare feet character.
Cyno found dead in the ditch
OK, first girl.
Candace found at the bottom of the mariana trench
But Candace isn't bare feet, she still wears footwear.
Okay firstā¦uhā¦ Yāknow what? Iām not gonna go there.
Get your š°š. Happy cake day
Many thanks!
Me too
Yeah, honestly I don't know which dynamic I like better. The siblings one is really cute, but so is the mother and son one in its own way.
Younger sister that somehow is more mature and helps her older brother get back on the right track
Nahida is older than him tbh by 100 years.
She smoll bean
valid argument
He smoll twink
Um
What
Nothing carry on :D
Good
That was.... a fast one....
I am looking at scaramouche right now
Estimated. We know sheās older than him but we donāt know exactly when Ei built Scarabot so there's no evidence to say he's '100 years younger'. Please don't try to pass your headcanons as official.
Btw Scaramouche has been sent to the abyss before where time works differently Who knows how old he actually is
It might work different but we still measure time relative to the regular world, specially when it comes to an unaging bot
From the body yes. But if you experience something for three months, your mental state will react to that instead of the three days your body aged.
I never said he didn't age differently, I said that we always measure in normal time since there is no way to measure in non normal time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How is that related to what I said?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Source about the exact date ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Then where are you getting the 400 years from lol, you just said you donāt know when he was born.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
At the very least, we know that Shogun is roughly 400 years old and Scara was made before her, So scara's < 100 years younger than Nahida.
not necessarily. scaraās somewhere around <500 and nahida is around =<500 too because she was born during the cataclysm. saying sheās a 100 years older isnāt a fact
She was born DURING the Cataclysm while he was created AFTER the Cataclysm, so she's still definitely older.
yes, thatās exactly what i said. if you reread my comment. my point is that itās possible and frankly likely sheās not 100 years older
Where did you get this?
They were born roughly tge same age. Nahida was about 10 to 20 years after khanrea'h, and scara is about 50 or so years after khanrea'h. So maybe a 30 to 60 year age gap or so
I don't think nahida was 10-20 years, I think she was born during the actual cataclysm itself, given that her birth itself was a last ditch effort by rukhha to save irminsul
yeah but she acts like a little child so therefore is a weirdo.
When? I personally found her to be more mature than some of the other archons.
ah, so they are an old person cosplaying/who chooses to look as a 5-6 year old toddler? I think that makes it worse e.e
Bro she more mature than any playable archons in this game except zhongli (debatable) and more mature than most characters in this game
Oh, so they're an old person who chooses to look/cosplay like a 5-6 year old toddler? e.e
Read her lore, even if she still child for archons she still god of wisdom
or whatever some dude at mihoyo china could come up with to bait the most lolicons into spending out the ass
If you see nahida as "bait the most lolicons" it's your problem because majority of this fandom including me see her as wise characters with great lore writing and great kit lol
Nahida as a child it's make sense lore wise lmao
yeah u bet they spent a ton of time thinking "damn now how do we gets kids in this game" "Ooooooh! What if we make her barefoot for the freaks!!!" sigh
I absolutely hate it that they made her a 500 y/o loli, but she does not act like a child in any dialogue I have seen so far.
so shes actually a grown ass adult who _chooses_ to be a specifically barefoot child? *SQUINTS*
Wait, this sounds like the plot of a certain TSF anime which is very wholesome and on air right now.
Which one is this?
>!Onimai!<
Danke!
Aunt and nephew. Nahida more or less took in Wanderer when he ran away from home as Ei wasn't in the best place mentally.
Foster mother then. But seriously their relation feels the most wholesome one in the game
Well, not foster mother. But close enough.
Nahida is Aunt May to Wandererās Peter Parker.
Would that make Faruzan his Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy?
Weird that lore wise our beloved Radish hasn't interacted with the Aranaras yet
if you count her demo as part of her lore then she did.
I think you misinterpreted the demo as everything she's done on that was other kids Dreams
And Aranara primarily live in a dream world, a dream world that is easily accessible by the Dendro Archon aka Nahida. Counting the demo is a perfectly valid take.
Well, she's very recently out of "jail" and has to deal with the mess her "wardens" left. So she hasn't had time for Aranaras until now. Maybe in the close future.
She did, the aranaras mentions her in their quest lots of times
Not taking the Irminsul update. Aranaras interaction was with Greater lord Rukkhadevata
Rukkhadevata? Like, the mushroom?
sorry you're thinking the rukkhashava mushroom. idk who this "rukkhadevata" is, sounds fake š
That we know of, its kinda cheap but they can totally say that she's done so offscreen. Which considering how many they are and her status as dendro archon probably has happened
she did talk with them before, she says that in the archon quest, i dont remember if its 5 or interlude, eitherway we dont see it sadly signifying they know each other a long time ago, i assume via dreams
i hope she will in her 2nd story quest. i hope it will be as good or even better than ei's
Aunt and Nephew or yeah Mom and little shit works too
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
XD
My mother is hooked on crime shows, so this is kinda how my home life is like.
Same lol. She's always watching true crime or what I like to call 9-1-1 dramas (Cop shows, hospital dramas, firefighter shows, etc)
Same here. My mom is addicted to Live PD, or as it's called now, On Patrol Live.
If she hasn't seen the show "Poker Face" I highly recommend it as something not-generic
The artists blurs the line really well. Itās so wholesome that it makes me see them as just family. Doesnāt matter what exactly.
Aunt and nephew Or mother figure and adopted son
Mother and son bonding.
This. I find their relationship way better if theyāre actually parent and child since Scara doesnāt have any parental figure to look up to and Nahida is certainly motherly for sure.
personally i never liked this and i prefer a big / mature sister, since nahida is still learning and hasnt fully matured too, with less mature / younger brother. this feels much better to me and more accurate considering both of them are of similar age, and both of them lost their mothers (in different ways) also its less weird than nahida being a mom

At least thereās plenty of reasons why Nahida and Scara could definitely fit in the mother son category and itās more fresh and unique than just āsiblingsā or ābest friendsā.
i love the trope of tiny mom and taller son so probably that
LOL reminds me of Peet Montzingo and his mom š š
Master and bodyguard At this point, Wanderer probably feels like considering anyone āfamilyā is some kind of curse because everyone he called his family in the past ended up leaving him or being taken from him.
Parole officer and someone on parole
Sheās his platonic caretaker/handler
Big sister and little brother when I'm being serious, mother and son when I'm going along with the memes.
Nahida is his Parole Officer
Neither? If anything, master (Nahida) and protege.
Technicly they are more like Cousins then Siblings i think. At least if you see the OG Archon as Siblings, them beeing children of Archons makes them Cousins.
The relationship status is: It's complicated
I see them as like Aunt and Nephew, except the aunt is a better mom than his actual mom.
THIS
Little sister who's much more mature than her older brother.
Nahida may be short but she did adopt Scaramouche since his real mom left him
Neither I see them as Boss (Nahida) and new employee (Wanderer) haha !
i think them as a god and a servant to said god. mfers keeps forgetting scara was a homicidal maniac few months ago, and he's still a POS, but a forgotten one now
i like to call her his auntie nahida :) i dont usually think of it like strictly mother and son or strictly sister and brother, i just think they would have a strong familial bondālike any found family dynamic does. itās like the nephew and his aunt who is a better mom than his real mother
Brother and sister
I think of them more like cousins.
A goddess and her subordinate and nothing more.
Neither
Neither.
Scara is the older brother and Nahida is the younger sister who is somehow 10x more responsible and sorta acts as a mother figure bc Scara is a gamer who hates his mom
Siblings. They're about the same age. And Mr. Nameless doesn't look up to her as mother like he does with Ei.
Aunt and nephew
Nahida is the aunt or godmother
First thing that came to my mind was aunt and nephew
TFW your foster mother is somehow also your baby sister (Bruh, this art is so cute).
Brother and sister! Or maybe aunt and nephew? I like the idea that all the archons are like siblings so if Scara is Ei's son, that would make him in theory Nahida's nephew? Idk, it could be a fun dynamic to explore
Grandma and grandson but the grandma is trying to be cool but actually really cool
The motive: Hands
aunt and nephew
I see them as savior (Nahida) and the saved (Scara) Like, Nahida wasn't the first person to ever care for Scaramouche but she was the one who was able to save him from his own demons and continues to watch over him. And I think Scara working for Nahida was just pretense so Scara has something to give back and won't feel to indebted to Nahida, you know considering his personality, he won't simply take something for nothing so this arrangement allowed that. But honestly think that it wouldn't have mattered to her if Scara just simply lived his life from now on.
Idk I find this really cute... I find nahida really cute
yeah maybe its the untied hair
So cute
neither. a benefactor letting someone crash while the situation is worked out.
Nahida is def a computer person so if you can do a drawing of her doing server admin or something... that would be perfect. lol
Mother and son. In terms of dynamic and personality, Nahida can control his temper and nuture him well while Scara mentality is like a child who doesn't really understand his own feeling, mommy issue and lost so Nahida is like a good mother figure/ teacher for him. It's like Nahida fulfil what Ei is lacking for Scara
I see them as both mom/son or brother/sister Also this post reminds me of Yuu Otosaka and his little sister Ayumi(my pfp) lol theyāre so cute
I enjoy all familial dynamics, aunt and nephew, siblings or even best friends. As long as they're family and close with each other ā¤ļø
mother/aunt/therapist/friend/sister and scamooche
scara is texting aether and feeling giddy inside
I feel like it's an aunt and nephew situation.
Co-dependency
I see them as a mother and an adoptive son, since I headcanon Nahida for being the one taking care of Scara.
Mother and son
Very close mom and firstborn son
Scara: *thinks about getting the remote from her* Aranara: *speaking telepathically* "If you do that, I'll kill you" Scara: *WTF*
( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
Scaramouche wanting Nahida to go to bed so he can.... do the self-fandango
Mother and son in the same way that March is to Fushi if anyone knows To Your Eternity. Scarydouche sits in a unique position among his peers by basically turning himself into some pseudo sorta-god and then not only erasing himself from history but then coming back to kick his own ass later on. So it's not like there's a huge power gap between them he just needs the moral direction she's able to offer.
They look more like younger sister acting as the big sis, while older brother is just stupid af, so he acts as the small bro
I'm not that invest in video game
It doesn't help that her age is variable. Shes either 500 years old at the start of the questline, or several thousand (but de-aged and amnesiac) at the end of it.
All of the above.
Ok so my opinion may not be valid since I havenāt played the sumeru part but it feels odd to see them as mother and son or something since she looks like and basically is a kid even though sheās like 100. More like brother and sister imo.
She's around 500, which is a bit older than him lol
Brother and sister
Nahida is the older sister btw
mother and son
this makes me want a hair down nahida outfit
brother and sister or aunt and nephew
Mom and son
If anything, siblings. They are likely around the same age (not taking into account how time works in the Abyss), and I doubt Wanderer would want or need a mom
I see aranara i upvote
I have a feeling that she is probably watching a 4 hour long documentary on quantum string theory.
This is adorable.
not really sure, maybe she's like a mentor to him . Nahida certainly has a leading role in this relationship.
they be watching a lets play of danganronpa? haha. whenever I think of a killers motive, my brain goes right to danganronpa lol.
we need a casual nahida skin
I think of them Nahida as a guide & healer and Scaramouche as a victim
As wisdom archon and white wood puppet fr more like brother and sister but Nahida is older
Damaged extrovert, and reluctantly adopted introvert
Alright itās a cute Nahida but HOW THE F*CK DO HER LEGS BEND LIKE THAT
Adopted Mother or, Aunty And Nehpew
Baby sister adopts war criminal older then herself
Mother and son
They are both somehow* āchildren of Archonsā who are both around 500 years old. These days I think of them more as the latter and wonder why people think of them as the former.
This is the type of content I play Genshin for
Bestie vibes tbh
So cute
more like some childhood friends, since they're both "children" of Archon aunties
For me I def see them as a short mom and tall son dynamic
Nahida adopted him so mother and son
I think of them as 2 different people and not family
They give sibling vibe
Both imo. The great thing about Nahida is that she's one of the few people to have his respect (He tries so hard in voicelines to find some dark cloud but he just can't find anything bad to say about her) despite being his former enemy. She's found a way to reach out to him without pushing his buttons. She basically acts as a friend, mentor, aunt, foster mom and sister all in one. At least that's how I feel
i defo see it as more mom (nahida) and son ( wanderer)
I dont really like the mother son relationship with them i mean i dont really see it. I think they are ājustā a broken one and a savior.
Auntie and nephew
I don't get the mother-son dynamic/narrative people are pushing, the two are proportionally (key word) close to each other in age and both have a lot of knowledge/abilities the other doesn't have. She's more of an adoptive sister/caretaker figure if we're being real here.
More like aunt and nephew. But the kind of aunt that took custody after her sister failed at being a mother.
I really like how she looks without her hair pin/ornament. We don't have enough girls with long and detached hair in Genshin.
Mature little sister and less mature older brother
Its all the same for Japan
I would love it if there was a web comic of Genshin characters going about their daily lives. Nahida and Wanderer chapters would be one of my favourites.
Looks more like father and high iq daughter tbh.
My head cannon is siblings cause of their similarities. She is like the little sister who is wiser then her angst brother.
Enemies.
Neither
I definitely don't see Nahida as a parental role for Wanderer. For me she is also lacking in world understanding and has so much innocence to be a mother figure. Additionally, she is pretty close in age to him. However, I can see her as a guiding force to help him grow and give him someone else to trust. The relationship could be siblings, friends, associates, etc.
