Personality

(To be added.)

Appearance

Vodyanitsa uses the Medium Female Model. She has pale skin, pale blue eyes with her pupils being a deeper shade of blue, and long and wavy dark teal hair with light gray ombré and lighter streaks. As a Fae, specifically a Water Imp, Vodyanitsa has some crystal-like scales on her skin, which are light gray and pale blue in color.

As a Water Imp, Vodyanitsa is able to turn her legs into a mermaid tail of a crystalline dark teal color with a light blue and light purple translucent fin with white frilly fabrics decorating it.

Vodyanitsa uses as flower crown with several strings and pearls decorating her hair and two fin-like decorations over her ears. She wears a short and flowy frilly white dress with detached puffy white sleeves. Several dark teal and light lavender ribbons decorate her dress.

She wears a frilly white collar connected to her dress by a silver and blue microphone-shaped decoration and she wears silver high-heeled sandals.

Official Introduction

...Oh, enough, Paraskeva, I know. I'll hit those high notes, no sweat! And Xenia... Xenia, I've already memorized your piece by heart, too. I won't forget a single note. I won't...

—Vodyanitsa talking to herself in the backstage dressing room

A long, long time ago in Snezhnaya, Water Imps dwelled all over the city. Some sang glorious melodies on the stage, while others cheerfully hummed lighthearted tunes through the streets and alleyways. Then there were the others who preferred to slip into the water, where they would lure curious passersby to the water's edge with their haunting, dreamlike songs, only to then suddenly leap up and splash the unsuspecting onlookers full in the face before vanishing, giggling, back beneath the surface with a flick of their tails, leaving their victims floundering between anger and laughter...

But, as time passed, the stages and alleyways of Snezhnaya quietly lost their singers, and the melodies beneath the waters, carried by unseen currents, began flowing soundlessly toward a distant silence. People began to whisper uneasily among themselves, wondering if those haunting songs from the deep might drift away from them forever...

Then, one morning, people learned that Vodyanitsa was still performing on the stage of Korolevskiy Theater, as though the days of old had never faded and the joy of bygone times had remained just as it always had been.

Hardly anyone knew why she stayed — nor did anyone dare ask her to her face, unless they were prepared to never secure another interview with Miss Vodyanitsa ever again.

Maybe, she had stayed on in order not to disappoint the audiences who so adored her singing? Or maybe she was just unwilling to exit that dazzling stage? Or perhaps... there were other reasons significant enough to make her swim against the current, even if it meant bidding farewell to her own kind...

But for Vodyanitsa's audience, delving into the answer to that question is utterly meaningless. The only thing that matters is that they can continue to listen to the captivating voice of the Water Imp.

Of course, if you want to be swept away by her song...

"Standing tickets? Uh, sorry, but we don't sell those here at the theater at the moment... And no, we don't allow our patrons to bring their own chairs either."

"Crack the doors open a little? The draft would leave everyone inside freezing..."

"My apologies, but the theater isn't hiring any day cleaners at the moment!"

...First, you need to get a ticket.

  • About the Fae of Snezhnaya 
    Paimon: Out of all the common varieties of fae in Snezhnaya, Snegoviks probably look the most like humans, right?
    (‍Traveler‍): Yes and no. Strictly speaking, it's their female counterparts, the Snegurochka, that bear a closer resemblance.
    Paimon: Right, right. And actually, the Vila probably wouldn't stand out in a crowd of humans either if it wasn't for their pointy ears.
    (‍Traveler‍): But anyway, in general, fae seem pretty well integrated in Snezhnayan society. Some even hold really high-ranking positions.
    (‍Traveler‍): Like the mayor, for instance. Well, we know him better as the Fatui Harbinger "The Rooster," Pulcinella. He's actually a Domovoy.
    (‍Traveler‍): Also Vesna, the head of the Druzhna, is a Vila. She answers directly to the Tsaritsa and is one of her most capable assistants.
    (‍Traveler‍): Even the prima donna of the Korolevskiy Troupe is a fae. Vodyanitsa is a Water Imp.
    Paimon: So fae in Snezhnaya are kinda like the Melusines in Fontaine. An integral part of the nation.
    (‍Traveler‍): Of course. Let's not forget, there are records of fae dating as far back as the Hyperborean era. Before "Snezhnaya" even existed, the fae already inhabited the tundra.
    Paimon: Wait, so the fae were actually the original inhabitants?
    Paimon: Huh... That kinda changes things. What if... what if, back in the day, the greedy humans invaded the fae's territory and enslaved them to do their bidding...
    Paimon: Then, over many years of swallowing their pride and lying low, the fae slowly infiltrated all the important human institutions, gradually climbing to the top of the power hierarchy and getting ready to strike back...
    Paimon: One day soon, they'll finally be able to declare: "O Tundra, I have returned!"
    (‍Traveler‍): Stop, stop, stop! You do know what this sounds like, don't you?
    Paimon: Oh, whoops, sorry... Didn't mean it like that... Nobody heard, right? It's just a classic trope in novels, that's all...

Trivia

Etymology

  • Vodyanitsa is a different name for Rusalka, a Slavic mythological figure, a female water spirit. The wife of the Vodyanoy, she is believed to be the spirit of a baptized girl who drowned. Therefore, unlike many other supernatural beings in Slavic folklore, she is not considered one of the evil spirits.
    • In some renditions Vodyanitsa is a Sea Tsaritsa, the wife of Sea Tsar, who lives in a sea palace among mermaids (Russian: Морская дева Morskaya deva).
