Character Name: Guizhong
Canon: Guizhong Chen
Canon History: Wiki Link

Canon Personality: A gentle and mature lady. In Genshin Impact's lore, she's described to be brilliant and wise but also playful and mischievous, adored by all her people. As the "brains" to Zhongli's "brawn", she was knowledgeable about many things ranging from machinery to agriculture to the arts. She used that knowledge for the good of her people, and took joy from bringing others joy— but she was also the kind of person to be prepared for the worst as well, as evidenced by her decision to create weapons to protect her people. An optimistic realist who was, perhaps, closer to a human than the goddess she really was.

AU History:
— Guizhong was born and grew up in a small town overseas, but her insatiable desire for knowledge very quickly made it possible for her to leave and study at the top schools in the nation.
— She accelerated through her classes and went to university at 15. There, she studied civil and mechanical engineering, and even some bioengineering on the side.
— By her mid-twenties, she had several master's degrees and was putting her knowledge to good use, helping her hometown and other impoverished, rural areas to flourish, while spearheading new, innovative projects in the nation's capital.
— However, not everyone was appreciative of her efforts. One particular town was extremely resistant to change and modernization. Discussions got violent, and Guizhong and her team were forced to leave. The night before they flew back home, they were attacked. Guizhong was stabbed and severely wounded, made worse by a poison coated on the blade. It was only thanks to her team members that she was able to get away.
— Rushed to the hospital and on the brink of death, Guizhong begged the gods for more time. She slipped into a coma just as she thought someone answered her...
— After that, she made a miraculous recovery, but she was still in desperate need of a quiet place to deal with her PTSD. She moved to Kaisou where her extended family lived, and found work as an antique repairer.

(Not sure if these contract prices are okay or not, let me know if I should change them!)

The first price is that she is unable to physically be around a person she recognizes as a lover. If they try to get close, they'll find their way blocked by mysterious (sometimes comical) means, such as a sudden crowd, a wild animal attack, a strong gust of wind blowing them away from each other, etc. They can still see and talk to each other if they're in the same vicinity, but there'll always be about 100 feet between them.

Her second price is that seeing the moon in any of its phases (save a new moon) puts her in a worshipful stupor of sorts. She will always feel a pull to it, and she has to be watched or restrained, else she'll constantly chase the moon in an attempt to "fly" there, whether it's by walking for hours straight towards it or flinging herself off a cliff.
