The blonde-haired beauty, Navia, captured the hearts of fans even before her official debut in the bombshell Genshin Impact Fontaine teaser, "Overture Teaser: The Final Feast". Leaked images of her current model showcased a navy blue and macaron-yellow colour palette, a striking tricorne, and satin ribbons, giving her an air of elegance and refinement.
With Navia's official introduction in the Fontaine Archon Quest, fans were even more smitten as she displays a determined side to her playful and cheeky demeanour.
Navia will arrive with the nation of Hydro as one of the 18 new characters released within the Genshin Impact Fontaine cycle. Read on to discover everything we know about Navia, including her lore, release date, playability, and more!
Who is Navia from Genshin Impact?
Navia's first appearance in the "Overture Teaser: The Final Feast" alongside other upcoming characters from Fontaine was met with much fanfare. Her luscious, curled golden locks and striking blue eyes have captured the rapt attention of Genshin fans worldwide.
In the Genshin Impact 4.0 Livestream, it was revealed that Navia is the president of the prestigious Spino di Rosula, and holds a high-ranking and influential position, with an Aquabus line named after her. She is an "optimistic lady with a kind heart", and known for her "unconventional" behaviour.
In the opening acts of the Archon Quest Chapter IV, players teamed up with Navia to investigate an important case, revealing her tragic past and strong-willed nature.
She wears a lavish tricorne adorned with blue and yellow roses and satin ribbons, a long flowing waterfall skirt dotted with pearls, and gold and blue jewellery strewn across her neck. From her appearance and attire alone, it is clear that Navia has an affluent background and likely holds a high standing in the hierarchy of Fontaine.
Navia also appears to be a well-connected individual. This can be seen in her closeness to renowned Steambird reporter Charlotte, as well as Clorinde, a high-ranking Champion Duelist.
Navia's name may be a reference to Nabia, a pre-Roman Celtic water goddess worshipped in the Iberian Peninsula. Nabia translates to "the swimming or floating one". This is interesting because Navia is shown floating with a parasol in the trailer.
Genshin Impact fans have also dubbed Navia as the game's very own Taylor Swift, due to her striking resemblance to the American pop star, with her luscious blonde hair and blue eyes.
Will Navia be playable in Genshin Impact?
Navia will be a playable character. Based on footage from “Overture Teaser: The Final Feast”, Navia wields a Geo vision, which she wears on a yellow ribbon on her left shoulder.
It has been confirmed that Navia will be a 5-star Geo Claymore unit.
