Dunyarzad Homayani is the daughter of the Homayani family, and a self-proclaimed follower of Lesser Lord Kusanali. This is in part due to being visited by the Archon in her dreams as a child, when she was bedridden from Eleazar. The Homayanis hired members of the Corps of Thirty, a group of Eremites that also protect Sumeru City, to serve as her bodyguards.
The Traveler and Paimon (Genshin Impact) first visit Dunyarzad while looking for a way to meet Lesser Lord Kusanali and helped her hide from some of her family's bodyguards, as they had been tasked with finding her when she snuck out of her home. Dehya soon found them, but Dunyarzad managed to convince her to stand down and assist her instead through her determination. She was quite eager to celebrate the dying Sabzeruz Festival and donated a large amount of Mora to revive it.
However, the Sumeru Akademiya, disapproving of all ties to Lesser Lord Kusanali, stopped the festival and implemented a samsara to harvest the dreams of everyone in Sumeru City for reasons unknown. During this time, Dunyarzad's consciousness was unable to withstand the Akasha harvesting, causing her to "die." However, the Traveler and Paimon soon discovered with Nahida (Lesser Lord Kusanali's vessel) that they could break the samsara by forcing the host to realize they were dreaming — in this case, they discovered it was Nilou. Nahida, who had left the city during the cycle, was able to find the fading fragment of Dunyarzad's consciousness and managed to sustain it long enough that she recovered in the real world, albeit with no memory of what had happened during the samsara other than Nilou's dance.
Unlike many of Sumeru's people, Dunyarzad is a follower of Lesser Lord Kusanali, as she thanks her for letting her know about the outside world due to her assistance. She does not like her parents as they find her too controlling, even though they try to help her handle her Eleazar condition. Even then, she lives life to the fullest, trying to live each day without regrets knowing that she could die soon due to her medical condition. She gets along well with Dehya, who serves as her personal bodyguard.
