[LORE] Mr. & Mrs. Cuifen

Fang's mother, Mei, was a woman of great discipline and precision. Born into a family of skilled artisans in Liyue, Mei inherited a strong work ethic and a keen eye for detail. She was known for her strict and demanding nature, especially when it came to her craft. Mei was a master artisan, creating intricate and beautiful sculptures that were highly sought after in the region. She believed that perfection could only be achieved through unwavering dedication and meticulous attention to every detail. Her striking beauty was matched only by her stern demeanor, and she was respected, if not feared, by those who knew her.

Fang's father, Li Wei, was the complete opposite of Mei. He was a joyous and kind-hearted man who had a natural talent for connecting with people. Born in a nearby village, he ventured to Liyue in search of new opportunities and fell in love with Mei at first sight. Despite their vastly different personalities, their love was undeniable, and they soon married. Li Wei brought laughter and warmth into Mei's life, and their union was a perfect balance of discipline and spontaneity.

As a merchant, Li Wei traveled extensively, trading Liyue's precious goods with other regions. He often took Fang on his journeys, instilling in her a love for exploration and a free-spirited nature. It was during one of these trips to Inazuma that he mysteriously vanished, leaving Mei and Fang devastated.

Fang inherited her mother's striking looks, but she took after her father in personality. Her bubbly and ditzy demeanor, combined with her Anemo vision, was a reflection of Li Wei's influence. Mei, however, found it difficult to connect with her daughter after Li Wei's disappearance, as she saw too much of him in Fang's carefree spirit. This rift between mother and daughter only deepened as the years passed, with Mei becoming more demanding in an attempt to shape Fang into a reflection of herself.

The disappearance of Li Wei had a profound impact on the family, shaping their destinies in unexpected ways. Mei became more focused on her craft and maintaining a strict facade, while Fang embarked on her journey to find her missing father, carrying with her the joyous spirit and determination that she had inherited from him.
