where does all the 'ningguang looks down on poor ppl things and she gets disgusted if things are less than fancy' come from it makes me sad bc its such a misreading of her character :(( just bc shes rich,,,,
@_strawberrykoya
yea she grew up poor, she mentions this a lot in her hangout and zhongli also mentions it in his voiceline, and beidou also mentions it in the bartending event, and iirc madam ping alludes to it after the jade chamber falls
@Cum_Johnson
i tweeted this bc i saw a tiktok of ningguang dissing mondstadt bc it wasnt 'fancy', but the concept also features in a few fics and comics
@LycanHeiress
this!!! it literally says in her “least favorite food” voiceline that she hates super fancy and frivolous meals and sees it as a waste of money
@LycanHeiress
Not to mention the fact that she's rich now because she worked tirelessly since she was a kid, walking from yaoguang shoal to liyue harbor, hawking wares and later moving up the ladder in life. If there's anyone who knows hardship in life(amongst others), it's her.
@LycanHeiress
She literally got down and dirty in her own story quest, back to her roots, fishing with her bare hands and teaching children about her trade so they don’t have to live like she did. Her and Beidou both grew up in humble fishing towns. I won’t be hearing any ningguang slander 😤
@LycanHeiress
//no bc she's such a sweetheart who truly loves everyone and everything in liyue... It only makes sense that she would enjoy the finer things in life a bit more, it's what she's been working for most of her life
@LycanHeiress
i think it comes from people literally just not wanting to learn anything about her. they see that she's rich and just assume that she looks down on poor ppl because she's rich and the way she talks
@LycanHeiress
I like to think she's extremely nice (she is ofc) and would do anything to ignore her high position especially with how she treats kids 🤌
@LycanHeiress
Isn’t she a self-made woman?? She didnt just inherit money and is all of a sudden too good for common folk. Her entire arc in game events is centered around her relationship with Beidou or her obligation to the people
@LycanHeiress
SHE LITERALLY ASKED US TO MAKE MONEY FROM SCRATCH WITH HER AS IF SHE ISNT RICH AND WAS SO HAPPT TO FISH AND ADVENTURE WITH US OR LOOK FOR SCRAPS. IT WAS IN THE HANGOUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y'ALL
@LycanHeiress
she literally started off as like a street vendor didn’t she ?? feel like she definitely would have utmost respect for those struggling with money and such
@LycanHeiress
I'd assume it's from the mentality that all rich people are always corrupt in some way? Such a perception seems pretty consistent outside of the Genshin fandom so I'd assume that's the case here
