- In this Genshin Impact video I’m going to explain the origins of Shenhe, as provided to us by her character profile information, and supplemented by what we learned throughout her story quest in order to shift the focus at the end of the video to the fact that had things happened any differently Shenhe, might have been a very potent villain… instead of the of the heroine Liyue needed

Shenhe is one of my favorite characters now, her backstory is very sad but interesting and she's actually kind of funny. Especially her teapot dialogue, the 'good morning' option leads to her asking if the birds disturbed you and if you want her to silence them for you XD.
Lol. She’s certainly an interesting one.
She deeply cares for the traveler in her own unique way, even though she lacks common sense it kind of makes her adorable, i love her character 😅
*"I wasn't trying to be a hero. I was just trying to protect you."*
Regardless of fate or destiny, is Shenhe herself who choose to be good --- regardless of her words, thanks to the guidance from the Adepti.
Indeed. That’s in line with the quote from moon carver as well.
There's a definitely a theme of doing good thoughtlessly in this game. In Ningguang's hangout, we learn just how much dropping the Jade Chamber hurt her. We also learn that she would do it again to protect Liyue.
She's a little confused but she has the spirit
She mostly got it figured out in the end.
I loved her from the very beginning and she has, hands down, one of the most intriguing stories in the game. And the archon quest was just gorgeous! One of my favorites now, gameplay AND character wise
It really was pretty awesome. Also your user name is one of my cats names. For that I award you one additional awesome point!
@@TeyvatHistoria That‘s a pretty awesome coincidence then ^^ well then, greetings to the cat! :D
"Shanhe unsealed vs Childe" would be a terrifying 1 vs 1 battle.
yea but I think Shenhe would win, since although Childe is strong he's still ranked the 11th in strength among the harbingers and we already know shenhe was born inhumanly strong and is probably adeptus/archon level in strength if she releases her true power
@@Nick-nb2oz Shanhe has brute strength but Childe has strategy and cunning techs behind his power. But since it is Mihoyo, Shanhe would be the winner because ya know she's from.....
@@inthenameofcontractlendmem983 nah, shenhe is a killing machine with killing instincts, she could kill a God's ghost at 6 years old and she can freeze freaking tsunami, what could childe even do against her...It would be a Raiden vs La Signora situation
@@inthenameofcontractlendmem983 also, she has been trained by adepti and knows adeptal arts, and I know childe also learned from the Abyss but Shenhe is quite a bit older than him and is basically trained to kill the abyss monsters, i just think she has the advantage in both experience and knowledge and also sheer power
shenhe is smacking childe silly low difficulty
Now I wonder what a Shenhe weekly boss fight would have been like.
Then use Traveler(Aether)for main dps, and she'll unable to attack u 😆
to anyone that might be confuse. the father didnt sacrifice shenhe willingliy if you read the ragged notes you can see that after he summon the evil seelie he said he was willing to sacrifice himself but the seelie said that shenhe has the curse of calamity and maybe she was the reason of the mothers death.
Cant believe her father did the complete opposite of what his wife asked
can you really blame a man who has lost the person he love and become desperate to be with said person he love?
I know many wouldn't do that and I know there are some will go the opposite.
@@lordoblivion8038 yeah I can blame him- he still should’ve loved his daughter
@@lordoblivion8038 Ofc, whether or not he was told by a demon it was her fault, which was just wrong, he KNEW it was a demon who wanted death and destruction but hated his daughter so much he listened and threw his daughter to what he wanted as her death until he finally realized how shitty of a dad he was
Her dad hanged himself after he came to realize
Sorry, old thread, but I just had to comment on that, what if the ritual had worked out in the way he hoped and his wife was resurrected? Wouldn't anyone be able to see that your wife will probably hate you forever for going against her wish and killing your daughter? I sure as heck wouldn't want anyone sacrificing my children just to bring me back.
Personally, I think that if the adepti hadn’t took her in then she indeed would’ve become evil, or as you said, followed a path of revenge
Just in a far less… harmless way than say… Eula does.
I think she can still become a threat if the ropes are cut. By the hand of the Fatui, or the Abyss Order. They wouldn't establish such a big detail unless they plan to use it down the road.
Her backstory is so sad and dark yet so interesting. She immediately became one of my most favourite characters after I played her story quest. Glad I pulled for her, even of it cost me my Ganyu savings.
Shenhe definitely would of been different person if her path swayed. Love how you retold her origins, and how your Shenhe is used as a cryo dps you saw that potential in her paired with right team if course, everyone else is support support. When she comes back next year I'm definitely pulling for her (especially since I'm not good at using Ganyu aka any archer characters even she is broken I'm not metaplayer) so i could use a good Cryo unit beside Kaeya.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and have liked my approach to her gameplay as well ^^ thanks
I swear this is just Dainsleif’s youtube channel where he reads us the knowledge from the boughs of the Irminsul tree.
Can we appreciate the fact that she was fighting that demon for days before she ever got her vision
And all while she was a child.
@@RedSunUnderParadise No joke. From what I understand she was born with a unique constitution.
@@ashade2877
Ikr. Shenhe is basically Kid Goku meets Pelinal.
Indeed a very interesting story. Really like her story : not only light and joy, but many sadness and darkness.
And in the end Indeed we will never know what would happen if the ritual was completed and shenhe was kill by the beast : the mother resurect ? Or is it just a lie and something far more horrible happen ?
And very good video as usual !
I rather suspect the demons “life transference” only gave him that life’s energy. Thus the only resurrection to be had, was his.
@@TeyvatHistoria oh, wow, your response is so clean and make so mcuh sense that I can't say anything other than : Indeed ! It makes absolutaly sense.
One of the best quests I have ever played in my almost 26 years of gaming and the many hundreds of games I have played.
I love your way of storytelling, I always get completely immersed ~
Thanks so much! That is my main goal so I’m glad it’s effective for you ^_^.
You’re a very good speaker, one of the finest I’ve seen
Her friendship 7 lines got me good. Man, she's so great. Thanks for the vid!
🌸🌺It could be uttered of Shenhe, one of immense struggle, but one of immense endurance to carry forward where the ordinary and lesser soul would submit🌺🌸
I do believe that’s a line straight from Cloud Retainer if one’s mind serve them correctly?
@@TeyvatHistoria 🌸😹It is not but I am quite chuckling hard as of now to know that the manner in which i type is comparable to how she speaks😹🌸
The Rise of Giga-Chad Shenhe should be the title
A perfect video once again teyvat!!
Everyday I wait for you to upload more and more interesting videos 😇😇
this is so good!
metaphorically, shenhe's father was the demon that wanted to consume shenhe. but her will towards the good prevented her from the pursuit of vengeance.
I am not very an emotionnal person, due to a serious lack of empathy and stuff (autism goes brrrr), but I don't know. When I listen to her story or to the opera, I feel so fucking sad. I relate so much to her story. That's probably why I love her so much, and I love playing as her so much.
Thank you very much for this video!
Oh wow these transitions teyvat!!
Lol
I complained about mosquito bites when I was 6 meanwhile shenhe was out there engaging in fights to the death with demons and winning
This proves even more that bringing someone back from death is an impossible feat even in the world of teyvat‼️‼️
Qiqi
@@lirima-hirumi 😐 oh yeah
@@lirima-hirumi although, she is a zombie- still kinda dead???
my boy paarthurnax still relevent today and will be for hundreds of years
Given that shenhe would absolutely kill a guy over an inconvenience. I feel like she couldve taken on harbingers
I wonder what would happen if Pierro found Shenhe instead of Cloud Retainer...
I love this character so much. Design, personality, backstory, everything. I just have no idea how I can use her in game. I have no cryo dps. Lol
Both cursed stars... Poor girl
Shenhe✨
Edit: you sound like dainsleif
If you think about it Shenhe is basically Liyue Rosaria lol
When Paarthurnax said, "What is better? To be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" I knew I had to spare his life. Who ever is running this channel you are freaking amazing!
Thanks very much! :D I also spared Paarthurnax.
@@TeyvatHistoria When you mentioned Paarthurnax I came to a conclusion that genshin is a lot like Skyrim, but its only mmorpg and fishing is kinda fun.
good thing she rescue by cloud retainer and she met the traveler(aether mihoyo chosen traveler) and warm her heart
Yeah, Cloud Retainer seems to have been the catalyst of her path to heroism.
Tears up 3 times lmao
I think that means I win. Heh. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
THE PAIMON QUOTE AWWWWW
2:34 pick up that sweet flower!!!
Wassup fellow teyvatains
loved that paarthurnax quote
Epic.
I love Shenhe story 🥰🥰
Just wait for a 1 shot cryo nuker shenhe will make her Tseritsa
Make a video on enkanomiyaaaa. I got a lot of the story but i feel like you have a lot of insight to give!
That is actually currently in production ^_~
But wait, if chongyun is confirmed to be her nephew then does that mean she has a sibling? Unless im missing something here?
Cousin, Chongyun is probably Shenhe's cousin's son...
Wasnt expecting to hear a paarthurnax quote.
is shenhe the only child? because chongyun is her nephew, so that means she has a sister/brother, right?
Just cousin
Well considering she had an uncle it's definitely by blood
Yess!
I have completed this quest twice bro can you explain this thing twice as clearly
Lol.
I'm pretty sure she would've been recruited by the fatui.
Wooop lesgo
She's like saitama but with a sad origin
She's interesting, isn't she?
Pog
What is it with Liyue & it’s lost & abandoned children? I even more recently played a side mission in the Chasm that unintentionally called back to that idea. Does this have something to do with the region Liyue is based on?
My question is. Does bennett have the solitary star fate?
It’s possible? But I suppose he would have to travel to Liyue and have his fortune read to find out.
Hehe proof for the arguement im having
so shenhe's basically a sociopath
Weird take.
I don’t know about that one.
Why is she a support?
“I wasn’t trying to be a hero. I was just trying to protect you.” Lore wise she is is really powerful and support wise her aid is likewise powerful. Logistically there are already a slew of powerful 5 star cryo characters and if you have another one then you have to compete with the others. Sells wise making her more powerful or main DPS will pull people to her and away form other 5 star characters or if she is less powerful then other main DPS’s then why get her anyway? Putting her as a support makes it so she doesn’t draw away from getting other cryo characters that already fill the role of main DPS. She works well a support that can enhance other characters and greatly enhance cryo Characters even more so giving her a niche role of support for those who love cryo teams. There are work arounds where her ability can equally empower those not of cryo through her nephew. (I forgot his name) Anyways that’s my take on it. You also have to take into account that lore wise traveler is a lot more powerful, but in the game he is more in the middle or subpar to other 5 star characters.
(Edit) lastly the quote I gave at the beginning can be conducive of one who is willing to be a support character and doesn’t necessarily want to be in the center spot light or main protagonist. Either way I enjoy her story and game play even though I am still working on getting a team that would be more complimented by her aid.
@@andrewdurfee3896 yeah I really get your point that most of the 5 star cryo that are currently available are DPS and this is the longest reply I have ever seen in a comment. Thanks for your time dude. What an absolute chad
Who was that dragon though 😅
Shenhue lmao
dude dont u dare questoin her ability!!!
:)
Hey TH! What are your thoughts about the news that the new "censored" outfits will be the one that the characters will be wearing during cutscenes? I thought we global peeps would be safe but it appears not.. (we still get to choose what we play around with though. It'll just be forced in cutscenes and in the splash art in the banners)
We can pretty much kiss Ludi Harpastum Amber goodbye :'v
And now i wonder how they'll design those from Natlan..
NGL. I hate it.
@@TeyvatHistoria yeah.. but it is what it is :/
My opinion on the outfits:
I actually ended up loving Jean's new outift, it actually resembles Ganyu and Kujou Sara's halter neck style which i absolutely adore :')
Amber's is fine, just a little covering up of her chest.
I don't have Mona so i can't see for myself how she looks
The most unfortunate for me was Rosaria, it's like Barbara and sister Victoria finally got her to attend choir practice haha!
Shenhe didn't kill the demon, Cloud Retainer did.
Shenhe age?
5 year + 7 Year + 1 Year = 13 years old.
5 years old when she was found by Cloud retainer in the cave.
7 Years later: when she return to her house, and she found out her dad died 7 years after she disappeared.
1 Year later: when she meet the traveler, and cloud Retainer mentions when shenhe secretly left the mountain to find her dad a year ago.
Your voice is way too low
