Keqing is the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing and is a respectable woman in the City of Contracts. She often advocates different opinions from Rex Lapis, believing that humans should have pride and that their views deserve equal consideration.
Keqing is the type who never rests until the work is done. She tends to work ten times harder than the average person and cannot abide by any measure of laziness or inefficiency.
The Yuheng once believed that her Electro Vision was both a challenge and an insult from the gods, and the recognition of her hard work was credited to the purple crystal instead. She even tried to destroy it countless times to no avail and eventually accepted that the Vision had become part of her life. She now believes that the source of power is far less important than the character of its user.
