Zibai’s different eye colours match the theme of each of the moon sisters

It could be a nod to the moon sisters. Zibai is related heavily to the moon/s after all.

No, this could be a very accurate theory, cause Zibai was worshipped when there were 3 moons, so the 3 selves might have taken the inspiration from the actual moons.
Even I looked into this angle but forgot to pay attention to their eye colours.

Yes

It's a difficult question. On the one hand, this could be a reference to the three moons of Teyvat, but on the other, it also alludes to the process of shedding "worldly vanities" in Taoism to achieve transcendence. Since the adepts understand the circumstances surrounding the ZiBai fragments even though they've never met her, it's most likely the latter.
Therefore, every adept could have similar fragments.

Actually thought when I saw the event art for this first time after doing the archon quest that the yellow, red and blue orbs were referring to the moon sisters so no I don’t think it’s far fetched and I do think there is some correlation

Same thing came to my mind also from her story quest >!the 2 of the 3 deadly selves had the same fate as their respective moon, zizhi representing her grief for losing her ppl turning into anger just as sonnet(iridescent moon) gave into abyss ziju was traped into false moon's reflection like columbina(frost moon) not sure about ziqiao tho!<

If I'm not wrong, the people praying to Zibai in Lan Gan, in the chant they even mention the names of the 3 different moons.
kittypuppet2026-02-02 01:34
They did yes.

Zibai is speculated to be the character on Welkin which now changed To Columbina who's a new welkin Goddess.... Since the previous moon displayed on teyvat was fake and zibai was also trapped on fake moon... She was now Abt to fade... And that is precisely why she's being revived...

And year of the horse too… feels too good to be true if this was all planned since 2020

> this was all planned since 2020
Of course not.
Ryuunoru2026-02-01 17:12
Yeah, we all know miHoYo doesn't plan ahead with their deep lore /s

The character on the prior welkin is Canon. The original frost moon goddess. It changes to columbina because she takes trilune authority.
Zibai was originally an "ENVOY" on the moon but I can't tell you when. Before or after the sisters arrival because it isn't directly mentioned. Just thrown at there that she was on the moon. But like....which moon? Idk. Someone can clarify.

We should have gotten blue eyed zibai as the playable ver 😭😭
Jirul112026-02-01 15:24
Probably not. Imagine you're an artist tasked with designing her and you're thinking about what color her eyes should be, where would your inspo come from? Most details of art are deliberately put there by the artist because they have a purpose, especially at this level.

Between the splitting into three selves and then the plan to bring her back, the parallels to Columbina's story do feel like they're staring at us in the face.
persianglitch2026-02-01 17:59
Zibai is an angel, it is stated in the first angel's dream of the future that one of them is to wander for ever and that one is ziba, they put that line on her character introduction post to make it clear, she was living on the moon but her nature of being is of the race of angels that at the moment of her death >!istaroth kinda saved her by turning her into did whatever state she is in now!<
Cocoatrice2026-02-01 18:50
Yes, you are.
Human-Raccoon-99172026-02-01 21:32
Way too far. Its not that deep bro.
SincerelyTheWorst2026-02-01 21:37
Again supports my crackhead agenda that Zibai originally had Columbina’s role in the story before rewrites and the shoehorned harbinger.
Alpacachoppa2026-02-02 00:07
I assumed it was a direct correlation, especially with the Lan Gan people's chant mentioning each of the moons. I also think each of the selves fit into what we saw of the moon sisters, like Canon being more direct and emotional.
CapableTear17642026-02-02 03:28
I did notice that Zizhi had a red soul thing after we convinced her to help. So you could be right here
jinxedandcursed2026-02-02 06:38
I'd say inb4 someone comes in here calling you color blind for associating light blue with navy and indigo in spite of the color of Canon's crest, but it seems those people didn't show up today. Anyway, Genshin likes playing with color a lot to connect things.
