AA Genshin Impact is a free-to-play RPG that allows you to explore the beautiful world of Teyvat; completing quests, vanquishing enemies, and exploring the secrets of its inhabitants. This is done mostly through the eyes of the Travelers, a pair of separated twin siblings. You'll play as either Lumine or Aether, and during your journey to find your sibling will encounter many other interesting people that can join your party.
Genshin has given us a wide range of characters to fall in love with. As well as having unique talents and skills, each one also has their own backstory. This list gives you the basics of each Genshin Impact character's background as well as their birthday, age, and height. Some of these statistics are best guesses, but this is specified in each character's entry. All characters are listed in alphabetical order.
Updated on May 30, 2026 by Gabrielle Castania: As Genshin Impact continues to expand, so does our list of playable characters, which has been brought fully up to date with some changes to our formatting as well. Find out the background of your favorite characters with our full list of ages, birthdays, backgrounds, and other useful information.

The Best DPS Characters In Genshin Impact, Ranked
Genshin Impact has an ever-growing cast of characters, but not all of them can dish out serious damage. Here are the best DPS options, ranked.
Aino
Aino is a talented mechanic and a child prodigy. Despite her young age, she has created machines from scrap metal on par with the Fatui's modern and advanced creations. Her inventions include a cannon which protects the people of Nasha Town from the Wild Hunt, as well as her robot maid Ineffa.
Her childish side betrays her real age as she builds robots for companionship and is prone to tantrums and overindulging with candy. Those around her respect her knowledge and wisdom through her behavior.
Albedo
Albedo, also known as the Kreideprinz, is an alchemist with a huge thirst for knowledge. This has led him to the position of Chief Alchemist and Captain of the Investigation Team for the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt. He is assisted by Sucrose and Timaeus, and loves investigating and understanding obscure knowledge from generations of scholars who came before him.
Aside from this, he is also an artist and while he has illustrated Xingqiu's novels, many of his pieces are unfinished. Most of his energy is said to be spent sorting out Klee's chaos. He was recently revealed to be hiding a huge secret about his identity, one that is likely to impact future storylines.
Alhaitham
Alhaitham is the scribe for the Sumeru Akademiya. This means he is responsible for sorting, classifying, and archiving important documents. He has a steady job, a nice house and a comfortable life, with the impression given that he's been in his job for a while.This is likely due to the fact he is incredibly capable, and keeps a low profile, as well as keeping the Akademiya's secrets.
He is said to have refused a Divine Knowledge Capsule, preferring to discover things through traditional study, although Alhaitham chooses only to learn about things that capture his interest.
Aloy
Aloy isn't like most of the other Genshin Impact characters in our list, and that's because she came as part of a tie-in promotion for Horizon Forbidden West in 2021.
She's the protagonist and de facto face of the Horizon series, but she's also one of the more interesting characters to add to your party setups in Genshin Impact as a Cryo bow user.
Amber
Carrying the lost practice of being an Outrider, 
Amber is the last of their kind among the Knights of Favonius. Impressively, she's also the three-time champion of Mondstadt's Gliding Championship.
She's friendly and cheerful, passionate about what she does, ever-eager, and straight to the point. Amber lives by the Knights code and is unafraid to tackle anything that comes her way.
Arataki Itto
Arataki Itto is the head of the Arataki Gang of Hanamizaka. He is an oni, meaning he has two red horns on his forehead. He also stands out due to his piercing voice and tall height. Despite this intimidating presence he is a free spirit who has passion for life and is usually happy.
Itto isn't a villain but neither is he a law-abiding citizen. He can often get into scrapes but does have a strong sense of fairness and justice. The children of Inazuma love him, and he often plays games with them.
Arlecchino
Arlecchino is the fourth Fatui Harbinger, and director of the House of the Hearth, an orphanage which raises abandoned children to be Fatui. Usually referred to as "Father" by the orphans, she also uses the code name "The Knave".
She's a graceful figure, who is cordial to others. While strict, her policies are more lenient than the previous director, allowing her to command more respect from the orphans. She also cares about both them and her homeland of Fontaine deeply, becoming angered if either are threatened.
Baizhu
Baizhu is the distinctive-looking owner of Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue Harbor. He is known for being compassionate, skilled when it comes to solving health issues, and for wearing a white snake named Changsheng around his shoulders. His reputation is such that even the adeptus are aware of his knowledge and wisdom.
Biazhu is also Qiqi's guardian, having taken her in when he found her wandering in the hills, with no memory and difficulty performing basic tasks. Alongside his medical pursuits he is interested in understanding eternal life, something he got deeper into after Qiqi came into his life.
Barbara
Barbara is Jean's younger sister who wishes she could be as talented (and as tall) as Jean. She is the deaconess of the Church of Favonius, vowing to make Mondstadt's citizens feel better emotionally and physically.
She's a beacon of joy and known for her love of music. She's a self-proclaimed 'idol' and her music has been embraced by the community, although it took some time.
