Aether/Lumine, also known as the Traveler and the Outlander, is the main protagonist and player character of the 2020 action role-playing fantasy video game Genshin Impact, as well as a cameo character in its accompanying webcomic series of the same name.
Both them and their sibling were traveling out of Teyvat, but they were blocked by an Unknown God and were both defeated and sealed away. They were separated from each other and had their powers sealed away. While the Traveler's sibling eventually returned to Teyvat, the Traveler was sealed until an unknown number of years later. Afterwards, the Traveler wandered around Teyvat until they came across Paimon, who helps guide the Traveler around Teyvat in search for their missing sibling.

Personality[]
The Unknown God sends them and their twin to Teyvat when they were both imprisoned and their powers sealed. Due to this, the Traveler is keen on finding their missing sibling. However, they do not remember too much about the past after being sealed away for an unknown number of years. After finding their twin, now affilated with the Abyss Order, in the "We Will be Reunited" Archon Quest, their main goal changes to wanting to get help from the Seven Archons of Teyvat. Occasionally, the Traveler calls Paimon "emergency food" much to her frustration.
The Traveler has befriended and became great allies to many people in Teyvat, including the Archons of each nation. While the Traveler was uninterested in Teyvat's problems, they are also shown to be a compassionate, selfless person. They are highly wary of the Abyss Order and the Fatui, being a major enemy of both organizations.
Powers and Abilities[]
Hailing from another world, the Traveler is capable of performing feats unheard of within Teyvat. Aside from using their sword as their primary method of combat, they are able to resonate with multiple elements even without possessing a Vision of their own.

- Anemo (Aerokinesis): With the power from Lord Barbatos, the Traveler can create a suctioning current of air from their palm or summon a tall tornado that carries away small-to-medium enemies caught in its path. With Anemo, they are also able to create a cutting gust of wind with the final hit of their sword.
- Geo (Geokinesis): Acquiring the power from Rex Lapis, they can disgorge meteorites, and create a radial shockwave that pushes foes away and erupts many rocks after a set distance. Furthermore, they can deal Geo damage with the final hit of their sword slash combo.

- Elemental Sight: Even without a Vision, the Traveler is capable of detecting elemental traces left by monsters, or other sources.
- Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant: The Traveler is a master in many forms of hand-to-hand combat, utilizing their enhanced physical attributes to defeat many monsters within Teyvat. This combines with their mastery over the elements make them a formidable foe. The Traveler has personally defeated two Fatui Harbingers, Signora and Scaramouche, and even the Electro Archon herself with the help of the ambitions from the Statue of the Omnipresent God.
- Swordsmanship: The Traveler is proficient with using swords. This was further emphasized during The Crux Clash tournament organized by Beidou, as they were able to stand their own against their fellow competitors even without using their elemental abilities. Even Childe acknowledged the Traveler's swordsmanship to be quite impressive.
- To highlight how skillfull Traveler is combat. When Alhaitham give Traveler the can knowledge, their performant only increase by 0.073 percent. Show that how much twins accumulate their fighting experince since before they even come to Teyvat to the point there is almost nothing to gain from can knowledge. After you use can knowledge, your Travler attack permanently increase by 3.
- Swordsmanship: The Traveler is proficient with using swords. This was further emphasized during The Crux Clash tournament organized by Beidou, as they were able to stand their own against their fellow competitors even without using their elemental abilities. Even Childe acknowledged the Traveler's swordsmanship to be quite impressive.
- Enhanced Durability: The Traveler is able to withstand attacks from strong opponents alike without taking a severe toll on their fighting abilities, such as during their battle with Tartaglia, second encounter with Signora, rematch with Raiden Ei herself, the battle against Beisht (Osial's wife) and Scaramouche as the Shouki no Kami.
- Interdimensional Travel: The twins traveled through multiple dimensions, prior to being intercepted and had their powers sealed by the Unknown God. The Traveler intended to find the statues of the Seven in order to get back their former powers.
- Flight: As shown by the opening cutscene, the Traveler was able to fly using their wings. It is unknown if they are machinery or can be summoned at will. Nevertheless, after their powers have been sealed, they are only currently able to glide with the glider given to them by Amber.

- Alchemy Proficiency: With a Crafting Bench, the Traveler can transmute various materials into more precious ones via alchemy.

Furthermore, they have the ability to purify corrupted items, such as Dvalin's tears. They immune to erosion and Irminsul memory manipulate. (However, the sibling lose their descender status and become part of Teyvat, make them vulnerable to Irminsul and can't leave Teyvat.)
- Longevity (Possibly Immortality): With the ability to travel through various dimensions, their encounter with the Unknown God, and the fall of Khaenri'ah an unknown amount of years ago, the Traveler is implied to be much older than what their current appearance would suggest.
- According to the Wings of Descension. The twins witness the birth and the death of stars. Even if it mean the massive stars which have short lifespans, it's still mean the twins millions years old if the description is to be take literally.
