Ruoxin (Niaqi)

Ruoxins, a remarkably talented adeptus, possessed an innate gift that was nurtured under the careful guidance of Guizhong, a revered figure. Despite being reserved in nature, Ruoxins held immense strength and placed great importance on every word spoken by his master. However, tragedy struck when Guizhong met her untimely demise, and a curse befell each of her pupils, including Ruoxins, transforming them into their original animal-like forms. In Ruoxins' case, he took the form of a small fox with wings that were slightly smaller than his own body, adorned with a few feathers that peeked through his fluffy fur. 

For countless millennia, Ruoxins remained trapped in this form, patiently awaiting the day when Guizhong's stone body would eventually erode into fine dust. It was then that her final act of kindness would come to fruition, as she would break the curse that had bound her loyal pupils. In a touching display of respect, all of Guizhong's pupils gathered at her resting place, united in their unwavering loyalty. Each of them inhaled the special dust, hoping that it would bring an end to their animal-like forms and restore them to their true selves.

Following Guizhong's final parting gift, her students' curse was lifted, allowing her to finally move on from the realm she once called home. Ruo, one of her young students, found himself lost and confused in the vast world around him. Despite his determination to make his master proud and continue her teachings, he struggled with feelings of weakness, weariness, and depression after her loss. Guizhong had always been like an older sister to him, and her absence hit him hard, leading him to isolate himself for months on end within his cave, only emerging briefly to eat before retreating back to his safe space, refusing help from anyone who tried to reach out to him.
Despite being one of the younger adeptus children, Ruoxin caught the attention of Cloud Retainer, who saw potential in the young kit and wanted to mentor him. Sensing raw power hidden behind a dark wall, she made several attempts to lure Ruo out of his cave, resulting in some comical failures that she would later recount as embarrassing stories. Eventually, with the help of Mountain Carver, she succeeded in coaxing Ruoxin out of his hiding place by creating a situation where he had to come to the aid of someone in need.
Rushing out of his cave, Ruoxin found himself falling from a great height, but instead of screaming, he remained calm, reflecting on how he had wasted his life since his master's passing. As he prepared for impact, he suddenly found himself floating just above the ground, holding an Anemo Vision in his hand. This miraculous event marked a turning point for Ruoxin, who vowed to dedicate his life to living fully and embracing his newfound powers.

Ruoxin, despite his initial reluctance, slowly began to open up to Cloud Retainer and Mountain Carver, allowing them to guide him through his grief and help him harness his potential as an adeptus child. With their support and encouragement, he started to regain his confidence and sense of purpose, realizing that he could honor Guizhong's memory by continuing her teachings and using his abilities to help others in need.
As Ruoxin trained under the watchful eyes of his mentors, he discovered a newfound sense of belonging and camaraderie among the adepti community. He no longer felt isolated or alone, finding solace in the knowledge that he was surrounded by beings who cared for him deeply and believed in his abilities. Slowly but surely, he began to emerge from his self-imposed exile, embracing the world around him with a renewed sense of hope and determination.
With each passing day, Ruoxin grew stronger and more confident in his abilities, mastering the use of his Anemo Vision and honing his skills as an adeptus child. He no longer dwelled on the past or allowed his grief to consume him, instead focusing on the present moment and the endless possibilities that lay ahead. Through hard work, perseverance, and the unwavering support of his mentors, Ruoxin transformed from a lost and grieving student into a powerful and respected adeptus in his own right.

He is a cheerful and carefree individual who, surprisingly, harbors a deep-seated aversion towards precious rocks that he has had to mine or attempt to mine during his training sessions under the guidance of cloud retainers. Despite this unusual hatred, he is known for his frequent use of his vision, often opting to float rather than walk, showcasing his commitment to his promise.
His passion for flying is evident, as he has honed his vision skills to the point where he can soar through the skies with unparalleled confidence and tranquillity. Additionally, there are hints of his potential mastery over the cryo element, as his icy wind-like abilities suggest a connection to this elemental power.
Under the tutelage of Ganyu, he has received guidance from her to help him harness and control his cryo abilities. While spending time with Ganyu, he has developed a fondness for flowers, although his attention is often divided between admiring the blooms and observing the goat adeptus indulging in a snack amidst the flora for educational purposes.
Despite his initial fascination with the goat adeptus, he eventually decides to cultivate his own flower patch, diligently tending to them on a daily basis.
he is thankful to ganyu as his current level of mastery is low but its a work in progress, he will only learn to master it as he trains within the year.
In battle, his cryo attacks are characterized by a cryo flower that serves as a taunt before detonating, unleashing a flurry of icy sharp feathers that create a gravitational pull, drawing enemies together in a powerful swirl upon impact.
