Rhinedottir
40
Rhinedottir, also known by her title "Gold" and by her Hexenzirkel codename "R," is an alchemist researcher and one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. She is a practitioner of the Art of Khemia and is best known for her masterpieces, Durin and Albedo. After devouring and merging with Naberius, she assumed her functions as the Ruler of Life among the Four Great Rulers.
She is linked to the cataclysm 500 years ago, which led to the fall of Khaenri'ah's Eclipse Dynasty and spawned monsters in the world of Teyvat.
She is a member of the Hexenzirkel and described by the organization as "A flower that is not of this world."
Rhinedottir was an alchemist and researcher from Khaenri'ah who attained the pinnacle of both knowledge and alchemical prowess, thus coming to be known as "Gold". As one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah, she is a transcendental being who possesses an "earth-shattering" amount of Abyssal power. She was particularly proficient in the forbidden Art of Khemia (the alchemical practice of creating life) and used it to create all sorts of living beings. At some point in time, she developed "a penchant for madness."
It is implied that Rhinedottir's creations draw on the power of the Ruler of Life, which confer them with a degree of immortality. Certain creations, like the Bakunawa, further augment it by drawing from Abyssal power instead.
Rhinedottir classified her creations under several pedigrees which appear to reflect the type of 'soil' from which they were produced. Three such categories are known, with "Alfisol" referring to the riftwolves, "Humus" being the origin of Durin, and "Cretaceus" for Albedo. Notably, the lattermost category (chalk) is said to be of highest quality. Many of her creations had a will of their own.
Rhinedottir was the architect of the Primordial Human Project, an ambitious experiment which aimed at creating a human being through alchemy. While the project was eventually successful, culminating in the creation of Albedo.
