My Genshin Self Insert :3 sorry if there are grammar errors, theres zero spelling correction on rentry if you havent noticed..

okay! okay! let me actually do the lore.. and like.. yap fest of hir.
basic info laid out.
Name: Ashida Souta, Age: 133 but physically looks 20, Height: 157cm, Weight: 42kg, Vision: Cryo, Weapon: Sword.
i use shi/hir pronouns on hir. shi's just a silly kittygirl!

A really shitty backstory I make up as i go.
Sou was born in Inazuma but after hir last sibling was born (5th child of the family), hir parents made the decision to move to snezhnaya. It was definitely a change to get use to, but sou adapted well, surprisingly. yadda yadda a war of some sorts breaks out, which in turn leaves hir family departed from each other. sou knew shi couldnt keep hirself alive in the harsh weather conditions of snezhnaya, so shi opted to bury hirself beneath the snow, which in turn left hir frozen for way more than a few years.
eventually, shi was uncovered by arlecchino and was going to be taken in under the house of hearth but was reassigned to be taken under capitano's wing instead. timeskip shi got hir vision and was trained to fight with a sword, but still had plenty knowlege and skill in hand to hand combat. around the time, shi started experiencing black outs and hir behavior during said blackouts was referred to as 'rabid'. eventually shi was checked out and all that could be explained was because of a curse thay had started to take affect, evident by the way hir fingertips were coloured in a light blue (hir finger tips were #F7FCFF thatd faded into #E3F2FA, that went up to hir knuckles.) there wasnt much info about it, as shi seemed to be the only known case. shi spent a few more years in the fatui before leaving ag around age 121, spending a couple years in Inazuma before settling down in Fontaine at 124, bc "its pretty". shi eventually stumbled across the fortress and stayed there, acting as its resident "stray cat", until Wriothesley found hir and they made a deal that shi can stay so long as shi works. shi ended up becoming his right hand, splitting the paperwork with him as shi found it interesting and actually enjoyed it. what a weirdo. anyways yeah, ill maybe add more if i come up w more lore, or if someone questions me abt a specific part, ill do a FAQ and jot it down.

sou family that nobdy asked for
ofc a mom && dad. souta and one of hir siblings are like.. "exact" replica's of their dad, like moms genes didnt fight at ALL.. dad: white cat, white fur yk, he has blue eyes but he skipped the heterochromic gene in his family (rip). not a hag, but also not young as fuck. i'd say they had their first kid at 25 (dad) and 27 (mom.. hell yeah), dad is inazuman. mom: black cat, red eyes. #retired baddie. shes a mix of snezhnayan and inazuman but mostly grew up in snezhnaya (which explains the move to snezhnaya in sou's lore... totally didnt make that up a few days ago..). again, she's older than her husband bc #WhyNot!

so anyways.. in order its souma, shoji, souta (s.i), keiju, asao.. in age order too btw, like ykwim. shi has zero idea if theyre alive or not btw. shi also lowkey forgot shi had siblings.. getting trapped in the snow make memories go brr..

anyways, souma takes most after their mom, so like all sleek black and he has red eyes. shoji is like a generbent sou, just flip the eye colours (so his left eye is red, right eye is blue). keiju has an equal mix of black and white hair/fur and his eyes are blue. asao has mostly black hair/fur with a few white streaks/spots her eyes are blue, but she has red inside if that makes sense? like she did inherit the heterochromia, but its not like sou's iykwim..

now did hir siblings end up like sou? idk, i'm still figuring that lore bit out. i'd also have to calculate the ages which i couldnt be bothered to do tbh.. soz!

outfit concept
base concept, shi wears a white blouse, corset, black shorts, stockings and knee-high boots. this will probably be messy with the pictures but TRUST..! i reccommend opening the imgs up in another tab so its more easier to see them! as theyre sized really shity on here lol. top is just a white blouse, similar to this , paired with this corset but instead of the dark brown ribbons theyre coloured #F5EDE4 (corset is also black but it lowk looks dark green in the pic). i also thought of an open backside , but it wouldnt work w the corset so. shi also wears this bow on the back of her corset (its sized big enough). shi wears simple black shorts, or similar to this , i havent made up my mind. basic black thigh high stockings , similar to that, but instead of the lace trim, its faux fur thats #F5EDE4, maybe small black string bows on the side that pop from beneath the fur trim. hir boots! theyre pretty basic , knee high and same for thr stockings, they have a faux fur trim around the top and heels (#F5EDE4 coloured).

acessories shi wears alot of those like waist chains with crosses.. and some belts beneath them but over the corset(obvs), shi is just swagged out tbh. some belts that are like, sideways resting on your hips but i couldnt find any imgs so just imagine.. RACCOON TAIL!!!!!!!! shi loves wearing them, has a WHOLE collection , her vision kinda hides behind it. sometimes shi wears gloves(?) like these . shi also loves chokers, thick, lace, ones with bells or crosses, she loves all of them! and collars. shi likes to sometimes tie ribbons on her tail or wear bows (like i showed above) in the back of hir hair. its something shi loosely remembers her dad doing. i imagine in one of hir idles, shi plays with this not smth shi wears everyday tho.

vision and weapon

this should be all! as i said, any clarifications or questions about sou can be sent in any of my ask boxes (neospring preferred)! i'll probably make another rentry, or add a new section) if people are curious enough to know hir relationship with other genshin characters!

sou hcs (but its literally shit i do, most of it at least)
Showers in scolding hot water and doesnt know why shi feels faint most of the time (cant fucking stand really hot tempatures)
NAIL BITERRRRRR but shi's better at restraining hirself bc, yk, cat claws.
heavy sleeper. extremely heavy. like, once shi's asleep, shi aint waking up until SHI wants to wake up.
boobie and ass girl. boobs are nice to lay on, but ass grabbibg is so nice man. (she terrorizes wrio wirh this)
fiddles with rings and necklaces shi's wearing. but shi also cant wear rings for long because shi hates the feeling of them.
lip nibbler.
uncontrollable loud purring if shi's in a space shi feels safe and comfortable in.
occasionally nibbles on the tip of hir tail. like how a snow leopard would. its cute.
is always satisfied with a loud back crack. (also thinks it helps relieve any back pain, i dont think it does but its always a nice feeling.)
also stopped cracking hir neck bc shi has a fear of accidentally snapping hir neck and dying.
3 devices = somewhat locked in. 1 reddit video, 1 other random video, 1 game/carrd/rentry making
wild overthinker and WILL cry if shi makes up a sad scenario in hir head containing hir in it.
