Discussion Prompt #7

[meganehaven]

Have they ever had a near-death experience? If not, have they ever lost someone they were close to?
How do they feel after the fact? Did it change them, for better or for worse?

comment below your thoughts! <3

haha ... uhhhh does sylvie literally dying count? during the archon war/war of the gods, while they were trying to get their people to mondstadt for safety under andrius's care (cause who tf would wanna go to a snowy place where two gods are already at war LOL), they ended up getting struck down in the process and dying to some degree

the thing is sylvie has a very resilient and strong regeneration power, think of like ... wolverine levels or deadpool. and although they 'died', they also revived by stitching themselves back together w/raw elemental energy as they were comatose for 1000 years

the aftermath? literally realizing they lost all their people, friends, and entire purpose as a god, so they had to make an identity for themselves. to be fair, in the present, they dont have trauma over the death itself, and it's more the aftermath of how much time they lost that they're recovering from. the scar on their torso, and a deep dislike of the cold (as they died in snow) are the only real remnants of their actual death
