Genshin Impactis filled with greatly-composed characters, meant to induce its players to pull on their respective banners. However, of course, among the game’s many beautiful units, some are better than others. For female characters of Genshin Impact, these designs are often chosen as fan favorites.
8 Kokomi
Sangonomiya Kokomi is the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi. As the leader of the island, she certainly has to put up a majestic appearance, one that represents the authenticity of the region. Upon setting eyes on Kokomi, people can immediately see her resemblance with the coral island.

With the combination of salmon pink and navy blue color scheme, her design pretty much screams “Watatsumi”. Her clothing is decorated with items that mimic oceanic items like corals and pearls. As she hails from Inazuma, Sangonomiya Kokomi uses a kimono-like outfit, paired with a low-cut suit underneath.
7 Yoimiya
While she may not be the best unit in Genshin Impact, Yoimiya certainly has a friendly design. Like other Inazuman characters, she’s also wearing a kimono, but the outfit is only worn on her left side, while the right part is draped around her shoulder and waist. Under the kimono, Yoimiya utilizes sarashi to cover up. This white cloth is also wrapped around her left forearm and right thigh.
As she wields the Pyro Vision, Yoimiya’s palette consists of red and orange, from the character’s kimono to her red flower tattoo, golden eyes, and light strawberry blonde hair.
6 Beidou
The Captain of the Crux Fleet looks way too fabulous to be a sailor. Her dark-brown hair falls down to her waist, passing through the Electro Vision chained under her chest. Unlike typical characters that can manipulate the thunder, Beidou’s outfit has a red scheme.
Beidou wears a qipao-like sleeveless dress, fur-lined red shawl, and fingerless gloves that extend to her elbows. Her hair is decorated with a golden pin with a blue tassel hanging on its end. This same tassel is worn as an earring on Beidou’s left side, next to her red eyepatch.
5 Keqing
A massive contrast to Beidou, this Electro unit’s design is dominated by purple. Keqing’s hair is light purple, tied into twin-tails. On top of her head, Keqing styles her buns to mimic cat ears (which is likely her most distinctive feature). Even though many people consider it old-fashioned, she proudly wears a large golden hairpin on the left side of her head.

Like Keqing’s whole palette, the Yuheng’s eyes are amethyst, decorated with diamond-shaped pupils. Keqing uses a lavender overcoat that covers her purple-white dress. She accessorizes this outer layer with white flowers and purple feathers.
4 Ningguang
As the leader of Liyue, Ningguang certainly looks the part. Like Beidou, the Tianquan also wears a qipao-like sleeveless dress. It is golden and marked with intricate embroidery. Ningguang’s hair falls down to her knees, reaching almost as far as her dress itself.
Ningguang uses fingernail guards on both her left and right hands. This item dated back to the Qing dynasty, where it was a portrayal of one’s status. The uses of fingernail guards indicate that they do not have to use their hands (their subordinates do everything for them), and using them on both hands further emphasizes the power the wearer has. This detail is only fitting for Ningguang. After all, she is the richest person in Teyvat.
3 Shenhe
Shenhe captured the hearts of Genshin Impact fans the moment she was announced as a playable character. Her looks and outfit were enough to captivate and convince most people to pull for her, and her story quest is the icing on the cake.

Shenhe has long silver-white hair, which fades to black at the tip, her original hair color. Her outfit is dominated by a black bodysuit, while the area between her neck and breast is covered by a cropped dress. Throughout Shenhe’s body, strikes some bright red ropes, the item meant to shake her homicidal urges.
2 Signora
La Signora is one of the most impressively-designed NPCs so far. Bearing the real name of Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter, this lady has been wronged for so long that her loyalty fully belongs to the Tsaritsa. This is likely why to the eyes of outsiders, Signora seems menacing and dangerous. Her red-black color scheme further emphasizes this sense of hazard.
However, beneath all these impressions lies meticulous details that easily relate to Signora’s name; Rosalyne, which could mean, “beautiful rose”. This characteristic can be seen on both sides of her hips, and at the back of her head, where two rose-shaped buns are tied.
1 Raiden Shogun
Among the currently-available female characters, Raiden Shogun takes the top spot for the best design. With her braided violet hair and a purple kimono that resembles the color of her nation, the Electro Archon looks majestic as the land of Inazuma itself.
From the Japanese influence of the region, Raiden Shogun’s outfit is decorated with several Mitsudomoe emblems. Travelers can spot them on the badge in front of her clothing, on a pauldron of her left shoulder, and of course, on the kimono itself. In Inazuma, this symbol represents the highest honor in the land.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
