If silver needs to be polished to shine, it only makes sense that we need to keep honing our skills to become as light and swift as a swallow.

Lan Yan is a member of the Chenyu Vale Artisans Association, she is adept at weaving a dazzling array of rattan handicrafts, and her joyful, quick-witted nature is positively infectious. The people of Chenyu Vale — both young and old alike — can often be found gathered outside Lan Yan's door. Though they may leave empty-handed more often than not, their requests are never ignored. Every visitor is a guest, and Lan Yan's mother greets them warmly: "I'm very sorry, but Lan Yan's up in the mountains again. Please have some tea and rest for a while, I'll be sure to tell her you stopped by."
Whether playing by the stream, gathering vines for her craft, frolicking with small animals, or sitting in the forks of tree branches weaving, Lan Yan has always loved roaming the forested mountains. Like a swallow, she flits between the wilds and her home, so swift and nimble that even her own family rarely knows where she is.
If your matter is truly urgent, you can venture up the forested slopes yourself. Follow the sound of distant singing or the soft tinkling of silver adornments, and you might just find the free-spirited young lady you seek. Should you spot her through the trees, be sure to call out and she will greet you with a smile. Despite her nature, Lan Yan is no swallow to be startled by the slightest noise.

Flip and fly.
Closing in.
Up and away.
Summoning forth the Swallow-Wisp Shield, Lan Yan dashes forward and upon making contact with her target, will leap back into the air.
The Swallow-Wisp Shield's Damage absorption scales based on her ATK, and has a 250% absorption efficiency against Anemo Damage.
While in mid-air due to the effects of her Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance, pressing her Elemental Skill again or pressing Normal Attack will cause Lan Yan to hurl her Feathermoon Rings at an enemy, and they will spin between nearby enemies twice upon hit, dealing Anemo Damage.
Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently.
Hold: Enter Aiming Mode to adjust the dash direction.
- Elemental Burst: Lustrous Moonrise
Ills, be gone!
Swift as the swallow.
Dancing in the wind~
Lan Yan creates a Feathermoon Swallow Array, pulling in nearby enemies and objects and dealing multiple instances of AoE Anemo Damage.
- 1st Ascension Passive: Four Sealing Divination Charms
When the dash from the Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance hits a target, if it interacts with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, the Swallow-Wisp Shield will undergo Elemental Absorption, with the converted shield absorbing Damage from the corresponding element with 250% efficiency.
Additionally, if this use of Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance causes the Swallow-Wisp Shield to undergo Elemental Absorption, the Feathermoon Rings that Lan Yan throws at her foes additionally deal Elemental Damage equal to 50% of the original in the corresponding Elemental Type. This Damage is considered Elemental Skill Damage.
- 4th Ascension Passive: Skyfeather Evil-Subduing Charm
The Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance and the Elemental Burst: Lustrous Moonrise deal increased Damage equal to 309% and 774% of Lan Yan's Elemental Mastery respectively.
- Utility Passive: Thought and Intent, Like Silken Scent
When Lan Yan is in the party, your characters will not startle Crystalflies and certain other animals when getting near them.

This part is about what Lan Yan thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.
Director Hu always seems so upbeat and cheerful. Even when the situation was desperate, she was always there with a joke to cheer me up. I haven't known her long, so I was wondering... Is she always like that? Hmm... In any case, starting from today, I hope all her smiles are out of genuine happiness, rather than an effort to reassure other people.
When will the Yuheng finally take a break? She was running all over the place during the Lantern Rite. I wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her for her kindness, but I never had the chance... I was also hoping she could do my hair into a pair of cat ears just like hers. But... maybe that's asking too much. Although, something tells me she wouldn't mind...
Everyone says first impressions are important, and the first time I ate at Wanmin Restaurant, I had so much regret... regret that it took me so long to visit Liyue Harbor! I could have met Xiangling way sooner... In any case, as soon as she heard me talk about all the rare ingredients in the mountains of my hometown, she started planning a trip to Chenyu Vale! I'll make sure she doesn't go home empty-handed!
I've run into master Xingqiu several times in the mountains. He wasn't accompanied by anyone from the Feiyun Commerce Guild, so it never seemed like official business. After those chance encounters, he often brought me copies of the newest supernatural novels, and I promised to never tell anyone. Except... I definitely just told you, didn't I? Please keep that secret for the both of us, Traveler!
One time, I was out with grandpa on one of his house calls, when I saw Chongyun leave the house with a dejected look on his face. Given how helpless he looked, I assumed the situation must have been bad, but I didn't sense an ominous presence within the house. Grandpa's reading didn't predict any misfortune, either. Maybe he spent a lot of energy getting rid of the problem and was too tired to talk... Huh? You think it's possible he didn't do anything at all? That makes me even more confused...
I've known Gaming since we were kids! He was quite the neighborhood terror back then, haha. Hm? That doesn't sound like him? Well, he's matured a lot since then, just like I have. One thing hasn't changed, though — he still carries snacks with him wherever he goes. He always comes back from his travels with a ton of goodies to share with his friends. And, of course, he never leaves without stocking up on his hometown favorites...
Qiqi likes finches, right? I'm thinking of making her one out of rattan! Do you know her favorite color?
