Character Teaser - "Columbina: Where She Dwells"

Night frost clings to her wings, rousing her from a sweet dream.

Fate, like a silken web, lies curled within a cage forgotten by time.

let's go!!!

fyrespyrit2026-01-08 05:02

Confused, scared, worried, excited, hopeful

Knight_Steve_2026-01-08 05:04

I think I miss Columbina, her place is just so silent and empty now

ImNotTiredOfWinning2026-01-08 05:44

I enjoyed my weekly trips to her cave.

Jst24hours2026-01-08 05:07

I assure you dear viewer, those feet shots were absolutely necessary to understand the plot.

Colonel_Zander2026-01-08 05:11

Ain't no one asked lol

babangelsin2026-01-08 05:14

There is also a significantly higher % of time spent on showing hands in this trailer.

A_bored_browser2026-01-08 06:02

BaitoDesuFate2026-01-08 06:03

At this point I wonder if artists really put focus on the feet or everyone in the internet was conditioned to react at any depiction of a nude feet like a nipple being showed at this point, like sometimes it's obvious like Seed trailer from ZZZ but in cases like this or like the famous Frieren scene I swear the audience is doing most of the job.

babangelsin2026-01-08 06:25

Nah I'm pretty sure they cater a lot to feet enthusiasts with Columbina, it is just that this trailer seems to have greater focus on hand people.

VorticalHeart442026-01-08 10:56

In the JP comment section on YouTube, the first comment mentioning feet was in English.

I feel like people from places where they wear shoes indoors have a stronger fixation on bare feet, because seeing them is something out of the ordinary, and may imply a level of intimacy.

I bet the feeling that Americans have towards bare feet is similar to how Muslim cultures like Malaysia feel toward bare shoulders. I've even seen examples of American streamers censoring their feet, but I'm not sure if that was to bait engagement or not.

In Japan? Totally normal for everyone to be barefoot on tatami flooring, and there is no meaning attached to it.

Biggus_Shrimpus2026-01-08 05:57

The back shot of her was very much indeed necessary.

cheddarchops2026-01-08 05:07

Columbina looks lovely without her shawl/dress top layer!

Also, I was not expecting this much Rerir focus in the teaser. I know he's intrinsically tied to the Moongates but I guess I had assumed he would just return in a later region, so I'm curious to see what they cooked for the story.

Particular_Web32152026-01-08 05:16

I personally hope that rerir and tholindis jumping into the moongate is somehow related to the reborn frostmoon goddess having crimson hair like a certain dynasty.

fly25552026-01-08 05:21

*Columbina Skywalker*

Ice-Book-732026-01-08 05:37

Please no

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 05:58

Rerir: No Columbina, I am your father!

Columbina: NOoooooooooOOOo^oo

HorribleDat2026-01-08 06:07

Alt.

Bina: Oh, really? You had such maidenless behavior I couldn't tell.

wggn2026-01-08 15:07

Somehow, Rerir returned

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 05:59

Rerir: Tholindis, is she safe? Is she alright?

Vedrfolnir: It seems in your rage, you absorbed her...

CoconutxKitten2026-01-08 05:39

Part of me would cackle if Rerir comes out of the moongate & just bodies Dottore

Void_of_Envy2026-01-08 06:03

"you are but a stepping stone in my path back to tholindis ... Wait I was just fighting different people, who are you?" A confused Rerir to the bodied Dottore.

GrumpySatan2026-01-08 06:14

No but legitimately there is something there. Ineffa had a very interesting off-hand comment at the start of the region:

> But the oldest legends say that all people saw was the ghostly shadow of a woman in the mist. It wasn't until later that it became a full-blown calamity, Abyssal monsters and all.

Very clear "Tholindis" and "Rerir" eras to the Wild Hunt but Tholindis' one hasn't been seen for centuries...around the time of Columbina's birth. Me thinks Tholindis' pieces got incorporated into the new moon goddess.

Particular_Web32152026-01-08 09:28

yeah the wild hunt having two different periods of behaviour before and after bina's birth, also all that talk about cyclical fates and transfer of names and constellations maybe she carries the hope of the moon sisters and tholindis.

katbelleinthedark2026-01-08 11:11

I think I'm confused here. Didn't Tholindis falling into the Moon Gate, Rerir falling into the Moon Gate, and Columbina's birth all more or less coincide? Tholindis and Rerir especially, I thought it was heavily implied it all happened in quick succession during the night they assassinated Irmin. Rerir went to get Tholindis, she jumped into the Gate, he left to rejoin the other Four Sinners, absorbed Abyssal power, reopened a Moon Gate and jumped in after Tholindis.

Meanwhile in Teyvat, Columbina was born around the same time. It all happened 500 years ago.

Sure, there might be some timey-wimey shenanigans, but I don't think there was a significant gap between Tholindis jumping in, Rerir jumping in and Bina's birth.

Rezkel2026-01-08 05:42

On the other side I'm surprised Sandrone didn't appear at all given all the focus she had in the trailer, not even a haughty sulk in the background.

afflictushydrus2026-01-08 05:47

Everyone be thinking that Rerir has gone nuts until we see Columbina pop into the moon gate just like Tholindis. How the turntables.

LeagueOfHurricane2026-01-08 06:07

I can't see Rerir returning as a villain in another region tbh. It feels like he is heavily tied to Nod Krai and I'm expecting him to come back as the main villain in later Nod Krai patches.

The Moon Hunter in the region built by the debris of a failed moon and whose people worship a Moon Goddess. He is also the main cause of the Wild Hunt, a blight that has terrorized Nod Krai for centuries.

cheddarchops2026-01-08 06:51

That's fair and I think I agree with you. The only reason I started thinking he might not be back soon is because they emphasized he couldn't control space, so he would have no quick way to return. That, and the narrative focus seemed to shift onto Dottore.

But now that Bina went through the Moongate, it's safe to assume that whatever method she's going to use to return might be used by Rerir as well, so it looks like we'll close the Rerir/Tholindis story thread after all.

lawlianne2026-01-08 08:42

If Anakin Skywalker can have a redeemption arc/scene, so can Rerir.

LivingASlothsLife2026-01-08 05:08

Shes dancing with her Kuuvahki, thats so cute

HilariousLion2026-01-08 05:40

(Please let me have this, my language is never a part of anything. I'm so sorry.)

Kuuvahki is actually the power, kuuhenki are the spirits. "Kuu" means "moon", "henki" means "spirit". "Vahki" is an internationalized version of an old word for "power".

And agreed, it brought my mind at ease to see she was not alone. A kind-hearted thought, yours.

Due_StrawMany2026-01-08 08:40

Cool. Which language?

sabershirou2026-01-08 10:41

I'm guessing Finnish because of the two 'u's, they love their vowels.

Due_StrawMany2026-01-08 12:04

Never knuuw that

drakai2026-01-08 05:09

So I guess Rerir is showing up next patch?

Ice-Book-732026-01-08 05:38

They need to resolve his story somehow.

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 06:01

"Just give up bro, Tholindis is out of your league"

*Rerir takes 2 trillion emotional damage and dies*

Spoopy_Kirei2026-01-08 08:12

Rerir will be taking 10 trillion emotional damage when he meets Tholindis but he realizes Traveller purified his dick and balls

Zenith_30002026-01-08 12:05

Y'know, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we ever got a chance to really delve into the reason why Rerir's mind contained some of Tholindis' memories, memories of moments he wasn't around for. &#10;

Maybe Tholindis got shredded just like Rerir, and their uh, consciousness bits, got mixed together? Or the funny answer being that it's all Dottore's fault somehow.

Adblock_Only2026-01-08 05:48

There are two weekly bosses per version, ya know

HorribleDat2026-01-08 08:31

To be fair the 2nd weekly boss for Natlan cycle was in Mondstadt and was unrelated to Natlan.

asilvertintedrose2026-01-08 05:09

The blank-faced statues (Especially Paimon's) adds a degree of horror

I have her at guarantee, 81 pulls, pre-farmed everything available.

SHES COMING HOME

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 05:15

Noticed both Dottore & Rerir statues there

.

Rerir: Nod-Krai doesn't have room for 2 supervillains!

Dottore: Oh you're a villain, just not a super one

Weaponmaster4702026-01-08 05:37

No one noticed the dust drifting around the statues yet? Curious.

asilvertintedrose2026-01-08 05:40

People have been theorizing time travel coming into play, maybe dust symbolizes the passage of time or being forgotten

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 06:08

***Erosion***

Elite-X032026-01-08 05:25

You sure everything?

asilvertintedrose2026-01-08 05:26

BakuGO20062026-01-08 11:15

Hopefully you get them both, also can I have sandrone pic please

Dreadsbo2026-01-08 05:30

*Trivia et Nothae estis luminibus Lunae*

Rain-Maker332026-01-08 06:00

Vera's Melancholy mention!

Probably my favorite in-game book series.

Budget-Return2026-01-08 05:13

:'( I'm ready to save you, Columbina.

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 05:13

Anyone figure out when this teaser occurs?

I thought this was after the plot of Luna III, but I wonder if it's actually right after Dottore traps Columbina - i.e. after he intercepts her teleport, he throws her into an illusion

hoyoshill2026-01-08 05:16

In her portal I guess.

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 05:17

portal is after she escapes Dottore's cube jail

Worldly_Jicama_28932026-01-08 05:31

after she jump into the portal I think . You can see that she saw everyone but everyone is froze when fighting rerir which happened so I guess She is watching things happened in the past ( time traveled ? )

Aerinn_May2026-01-08 05:31

I think you're correct in assuming it's right before she opens her portal. "Time to go" might be her accepting she needs to forget both being on the moon and with her friends. In her mind, wherever that portal gets her would eventually make her forget the experiences she has.

The first part of the video is probably what she thought would happen before Dottore intercepted her ascent.

DottoresPet2026-01-08 06:08

Before the events of luna 4 most likely

HorribleDat2026-01-08 06:18

Definitely after since she think this is after her successful return to the moon + the characters are celebrating another moon festival (so at least 1 year after Luna 3 moment in her mind)

That said, from some leaks/lore bits I've seen I think specifically >!this is after she goes back to meet the moon sisters in the past (crimson moon marrow call her Hypo in that AQ...) and that 'time to go' is she's arrived at the point she jump to the past so it's 'safe' for her to come out now (i.e. she won't create a paradox to come out now)!<

REVRYOU2026-01-08 05:15

Too bad we can't upload photos in the comment in this sub, I took so many gorgeous screenshots of her!

Calm-Engineering-7882026-01-08 05:15

[Us players to Dottore](https://youtu.be/SWQc_wJqB3A)

MegaAltarianite2026-01-08 05:33

Well, most. There is a pocket of crazy who still like him and thinks he's not so bad.

Jnliew2026-01-08 05:41

Liking him is no issue at all, liking villains is completely fine for any media

It's some of his fans who get offended over other people hating on a villain who's written to be a character most players "love to hate" that's just a mess to deal with

Midnight38792026-01-08 05:42

No, we like him because hes a great villain, but no one sane is arguing that he’s a good person

Kingpimpy2026-01-08 05:59

hahahahaha

yeah no if you look at some of the recent posts you see all type of freaks glaze him

MegaAltarianite2026-01-08 06:00

I'm getting downvoted for nothing but stating a fact, but that's my point. There ARE people who think he hasn't done any wrong, in some way or another. I've seen them.

I can’t believe Columbina is finally happening!!! So exciting !!

Mihoyo pushing the Columbina wife agenda even further let's gooo

Ice-Book-732026-01-08 05:39

She misses Aether so bad she draws his face in the moon dust

Rat-at-Arms2026-01-08 05:39

And touches his finger for an extended period

We'll save you, Columbina!! 💔🕊🌕

Just wait a little longer...

Seifty_First2026-01-08 05:19

WE GOT FOOTAGE OF THE MOON

Glynii2026-01-08 05:19

When the tone shifted it really felt like Flower Carriage: Part 2

Let's get Dottore for real this time around

DUELfighter20002026-01-08 05:20

I wonder if all the grey is her being on the moon

MihirPagar102026-01-08 05:20

This feels like Nahida teaser lol

solidfang2026-01-08 05:49

yeah, I see a lot of parallels as well. The "girl is trapped in a dreamlike fantasy but is jumpscared by reality partway through" seems to be a favorite framing device of theirs.

Kingpimpy2026-01-08 05:57

idk

nahida teaser is like a LOT more depressing

Ifalna_Shayoko2026-01-08 06:20

Agreed.

Radish-chan's trailer left my very sad and more importantly: PISSED OFF.

I was ready for war-crimes man.

Fabulous_Ground_19832026-01-08 06:55

Yep. This time, Columbina seems to be doing alright. We're separated, but not for long.

Nahida had no say in her circumstances, and had no help for hundreds of years

syahrulmizan2026-01-08 06:51

How it's structured feels like Nahida's teaser, they didn't meant to compare which one was more depressing

Realization("wake up") from what supposed to happen...without showing past and future like in Nahida's teaser

SopmodTew2026-01-08 08:18

Yeah, because they kept repeating the scene, making it feel very helpless.

Axlzz2026-01-08 06:55

Both are also responsible by the same villain lol.

BobTheGodx2026-01-09 00:01

Dottore wasn’t the one who imprisoned Nahida for 500 years.

floricel_1122026-01-08 07:06

This one won't have to suffer for 500 years tho

Dramatic_endjingu2026-01-08 05:22

Happy birthday Nahida 😭

Fabulous_Ground_19832026-01-08 06:22

I felt more for Nahida tbh. This time, it's quite obvious Columbina is safe, and isn't going to the moon anytime soon.

JunWasHere2026-01-08 06:36

Was it ever less obvious with Nahida? I guess if you're young and haven't heard of plot armor.

Genshin caters to a lot of kids playing, so death of an important character is so unlikely. I am not fazed at all. These teasers aren't a matter of tension but characterization and hype for a lot of folks.

Nuka-Crapola2026-01-08 06:41

Nahida’s made you feel bad, not because you thought it would be bad for her in the future, but because most of us hadn’t realized just *how* bad she’d had it in the past.

With Columbina, we’d already gotten a pretty good picture of how any why her past life was shitty, so it’s less shocking.

Fabulous_Ground_19832026-01-08 06:46

It's not even about plot armor. We know no playable character is in any real danger of dying anyway. It was more about anticipating saving Nahida from the suffering she had already been going through for 500 years.

Bina just doesn't evoke the same sadness. Nahida was dealt a bad hand from the moment she was born.

JunWasHere2026-01-08 07:40

True, Nahida was literally abused with her imprisonment.

Columbina was just lonely and misunderstood, but free to go where she pleased.

>We know no playable character is in any real danger of dying anyway.

Devs have said we are only half way through the story. And in Honkai, they did kill off playables sometimes. Lowkey, that could mean they start killing people later. Just not right as they release xD

katbelleinthedark2026-01-08 11:03

In HI3 they killed one character, years ago. As shocking as that was, that one time isn't really an indicator of MHY being willing to repeat that.

WhiteLance6552026-01-08 17:03

In HI3rd they also have fake-out deaths a lot of times, so it's not like it's a perfect comparison

And either way I wanna point to the sign that says _"you don't need character deaths to make a good story"_

katbelleinthedark2026-01-08 17:46

Not for Genshin, but fake deaths happen quite a lot in HSR. So I'd say that's actually a better indicator of the fact that MHY does not want to kill their characters.

And sure, I agree, it's not necessary. The necessity or its lack were not under discussion here though.

Bacon_Pancakes2002026-01-08 05:25

Ohhh boy I ams so motivated and ready to destroy Dottore boss with Collei, Wanderer, Nahida and Columbina even if that team composition doesnt make sense.

Over 1.1k pulls, 1 year of saving since 5.3. 3 years of waiting since the lazzo trailer. It's coming near now

Best of luck everyone. May your screens be graced with her presence and win your 50/50s.

siriuslupin652026-01-08 05:41

The "happy" part was so uncomfortable and sad to watch, giving Nahida teaser vibes

notthatjaded2026-01-08 05:43

Yeah, I was like, "you're not fooling me Hoyo, this is obviously not real, when are you going to twist the knife? :| "

salasy2026-01-08 05:42

I'm the only one that find it interesting that the first statue she touches is Paimon?

the other 3 make sense, lauma has basically been her bigger supporter (and also kinda like a real mother figure), jahoda was the one that saved her that one time and then there was the traveler

on the other hand we kinda never really saw columbina and paimon interact that much, so I find this small interaction kind of interesting

Artistic_Cable62182026-01-08 08:06

What do you mean? They interacted with each other only slightly less than with the traveler.

TetraNeuron2026-01-08 08:30

Paimon was the one who first offered food to Columbina in Luna I

Maybe Columbina was starving and remembered that

Realistic_Sound9132026-01-08 05:42

Haha, they’ve just made AeBina even more canon. I can already hear the yuritards crying in denial, what a pure music to my ears.

CarioGod2026-01-08 05:47

man FUCK you dottore

Destiny_Glimpse2026-01-08 05:48

Hmm, sorry but I really don't like this kind of girl, no pull for me, powerful as she may be.

iSolicon2026-01-08 05:49

Genshin is the only one in big 4 that doesn’t have flagship-tier wife yet, gotta fix it with Columbina smh.

Kirinpi2026-01-08 05:51

I have a theory in the lore sub that the red filter we see when Columbina wakes up isn't just a signal of danger — it's the literal spectrum of a Red Giant.

Look at the first seconds of the teaser: we see that blinding White Sun. That is the 'ideal' state, the star in its Wolf-Rayet phase that the system is striving for. Her dream starts with that white light, which means her awakening was triggered not just by Dottore’s snap, but by her sensing the star's actual transition.

She woke up because the sun changed. The 'False Sky' can no longer filter the radiation, and what we see in the end is the raw, terminal heat of a dying giant. She isn't just waking up; she’s witnessing a cosmological collapse

FlameDragoon9332026-01-08 12:48

didn't expect astronomy deep dive in this sub, cool stuff

Kingpimpy2026-01-08 05:53

DottoresPet2026-01-08 06:06

I'd rather be captured by Dottore than be isolated on a white surface with only those moon creature things and no humans to talk to. There's literally nothong to do on the moon, if we judge by the trailer.

Kilandros2026-01-08 06:07

I knew watching the start was too happy...

Ikcatcher2026-01-08 06:14

The music reversed for like a brief moment at the very end

gzephyr602026-01-08 06:37

I have a feeling Columbina will get Furina treatment in 6.3 quest

BananaBrodie2026-01-08 06:42

The reverse music at the end... yeah, we're about to see some time travel

Chakolatechip2026-01-08 06:49

enough shots of her feet to be a ZZZ video

Ngl it's a bit underwhelming for me

AffectionateGrape1842026-01-08 10:03

Such a nothingburger tbh, I expected to see her birth or something like that, but they just repeat the same sad and lonely rhetoric

You know I was wondering, what was she gonna eat or drink on the moon? Because she definitely needs sustenance to survive since one of the first interactions with her is bringing her food because she seemed hungry. Can the kuuhenki create food? Is the frost moon made out of frozen cheese? These are all important questions to the lore.
