GENSHIN Impact ages like a fine wine. It’s one of the world’s most popular games, and one of the reasons is the wonderful cast of characters.
What really makes Genshin Impact as popular is how each of the many characters are fully fleshed out.
Just a Genshin Impact character being chill.
They have a history: ages, heights, birthdays, and backstories so that players are always eager to find out more.
After all, in this world of magic, despite all looking like teenagers, they can be anything from ten to 10,000 years old.
However, it’s not always easy to discover the answers to our burning questions in-game. What is Diona’s height? How old is Ganyu? What vision element does Shenhe have? When is Keqing’s birthday?
We have the answers to all these questions and more, including their backstories, and bios.
