Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya — The Tsaritsa
The Cryo Archon has finally stepped out of the shadows. Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya is the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya, the God of Ice who rules over the nation from the shadows. In the trailer, she is shown reminiscing about a child who called her mother — a child that was allegedly taken away by the Heavenly Principles.
The trailer concludes with a powerful scene: the Tsaritsa facing off against both Ronova and Rhinedottir of the Four Shades. This symbolic confrontation represents Snezhnaya's defiance against Celestia and sets the stage for the region's central conflict.
According to leaks, the Tsaritsa is expected to become playable in Version 7.3 as a support character rather than a main DPS. This follows the Archon tradition of high-utility units like Furina, Nahida, and Raiden Shogun.
Fatui Harbingers in Snezhnaya
Snezhnaya will feature the highest concentration of Fatui Harbingers in any region. Here's what we know:
"The Rooster" Pulcinella
The fifth-ranked Fatui Harbinger, Pulcinella has appeared in multiple Snezhnaya trailers. He is involved in "Project Stuzha," a mysterious initiative that appears central to the upcoming storyline. His repeated appearances suggest he will be a key figure in Version 7.x.
"Regrator" Pantalone
Also known as Feofan Sergeyevich Veskel, Pantalone is the eleventh-ranked Harbinger. He harbors deep resentment toward the gods and their control over resources. Obsessed with the concept of "Fair Exchange," Pantalone seeks to reverse the natural imbalance between gods and humans. He is working alongside Pulcinella on Project Stuzha.
Returning Harbingers
Tartaglia and Arlecchino are already playable characters in Genshin Impact. Their inclusion in the Snezhnaya roster may indicate story significance or additional content tied to their existing roles.
New Snezhnaya Characters
Vodyanitsa
Vodyanitsa is a Hydro character who was the first new face revealed in the Snezhnaya trailer. A singer by trade, her dialogue carries ominous weight — she declares that "the rules of Teyvat are all curses," a direct challenge to the Heavenly Principles. Community speculation links her to Signora, with some rumors describing her as an adopted daughter or successor within the Fatui's structure.
Vesna
A member of the Druzhna, the Tsaritsa's personal security force. Vesna commands soldiers and features distinctive butterfly wings on her back. Her vision is confirmed as Anemo. She shares the pointed ears seen on Noy and Nicole, suggesting a connection to the same race of fallen angels.
Noy
Noy appears to be an ancient being, commenting that the current age is peaceful compared to "eons gone by." His pointed ears suggest he may share a lineage with Nicole, pointing to a deeper connection with Teyvat's hidden history.
Mitya
A scholarly figure who reads books in front of massive machinery featuring a giant dial. He mentions "the Kresnik's Torch," hinting at a connection to ancient Snezhnayan technology or mythology.
Danica
A maid aboard the Snezhnayan trains who neutralizes threats with sophisticated precision. Despite her unassuming appearance, she is described as a remarkably strong character.
Alyosha
A gunman who appears friendly on the surface but harbors darker intentions. He uses a whistle to summon wolves to attack, suggesting a unique summoning mechanic that could appear in his playable kit.
Odette
An assassin who operates in the shadows, Odette works alongside Alyosha and Vodyanitsa. She appears to be working toward transcending the rules that bind Snezhnaya's citizens.
Valeriy
A massive security officer who confronts Alyosha in the trailer. When attacking, a silhouette of a bear appears, suggesting either a symbolic representation of his strength or a potential summoning mechanic.

Snezhnaya Leaked Characters (Unconfirmed)
Beyond the officially revealed roster, leaks have surfaced additional character names that may appear in Version 7.x:
Note: These names come from leaks and are unconfirmed. Character names, kits, and release dates may change before official announcements.
New Stellar Reaction Mechanic
Snezhnaya will introduce a new Stellar Reaction system, separate from the existing Rimegrass mechanic. This distinction is important because it means Stellar-focused characters will not automatically interact with every Snezhnayan combat feature.
Version 7.0 is expected to launch with a Cryo Stellar Reaction Support character, while Version 7.1 will introduce Anemo Stellar Swirl specialists. This new system will likely become a core part of Snezhnaya's team-building meta.
