7 Best Female Characters in Genshin Impact

Much like how the anime community often debates the best female character every year, Genshin Impact has its fair share of such undertakings. This is partly because Genshin Impact as a whole is largely inspired by anime, as is evident from its art style. In fact, Hoyoverse has even published a comic based on the game they themselves call “Manga.”

Regardless, even Genshin players who are not into anime like to draw the line between rating female characters and male characters. Such evaluations are mainly based on the female character’s personality, fashion sense, and aptitude. With that said, this article will revolve around discussing the seven best female characters in Genshin Impact.

7 Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact

We’ve constructed the list of the best female characters in Genshin Impact by carefully considering their personality, personality, performance in combat, and the writing of their story quest(s). So, let’s get into the best females you can play as in the game: 

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Hu Tao

Hu Tao holds the very important position of being the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a business in Liyue Harbor, responsible for conducting funerals that follow the rites of the adepti. This is a business, particularly because performing the rites of the adepti is no easy task for just anyone to do, as is seen first-hand during Zhongli’s story quest.

Hu Tao has a unique sense of humor that fans widely appreciate, particularly how she loves to go around Liyue offering her funeral services to all kinds of people, whether healthy or unhealthy. Her rationale behind doing so is that no one knows when they’ll become deceased, something that she views as a person’s “big day” – quite quirky!

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Raiden Shogun

Raiden is the current Electro Archons n Genshin Impact, and such a profound responsibility is most certainly felt in her presence. Fans particularly take an interest in her backstory, in which they learn that she is a collection of two beings in a single body: Ei, the Electro Archon, and the Shogun of Inazuma.

This, of course, means that Raiden has two personalities, which are polar opposites. While Ei has a more expressive nature, particularly when it comes to her ambitions of eternity, the Shogun is relatively coldhearted, a puppet who sees nothing beyond serving the wishes of their master. Such a unique mixture of personas is what makes Raiden so popular.

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Ayaka

Although anime fans are quite familiar with the sibling complex trope where the younger sibling strives to be as excellent as their older sibling out of a sense of seeking validation, Ayaka comes along and shatters that.

Ayaka is often perceived as the face of the Kamisato clan (despite having an elder brother) due to her beauty and nobility and her mastery over both Cryo magic and traditional swordsmanship.

Similar to the Genshin community, Ayaka is revered all around Inazuma. After all, her compassion, courtesy, and willingness to help others have given her subjects more than enough justification to hold her in high regard. What adds more to her personality is how genuine she is, often seen being pressured by the high expectations of character she has imposed upon herself.

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Keqing

Keqing, whose name means “Driving Thunder,” is one of the most empowered female characters in the game. Being the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing, she is strong-willed and seeks to carve out her own path rather than leaving matters to the higher beings. Fans love how hardworking and dedicated she is to her responsibilities.

Keqing has admirable ambitions which are based on the belief that humans mustn’t rely on the adepti and are more than capable of serving their interests. Of course, in a world where the adepti are widely worshipped, Keqing’s ambitions do not easily translate to others, and thus her dedication towards becoming the independent being she wants others to be.

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Ganyu

Even though Ganyu initially comes off as nothing more than the general secretary of the Liyue Qixing, fans are pleasantly surprised to learn that she is also an Illuminated Beast.

Even though she is under a contract with the Geo Archon Morax, her proficiency lies in Cryo magic, which she dedicates to the Geo Archon’s cause.

Fans find Ganyu’s quiet and reserved personality quite relatable. She demonstrates that one only needs to be themselves and not assume polar opposite personalities around others over some superficial sense of validation. As such, even though she is not as jolly as Hu Tao or as charming as Raiden Shogun, the Genshin community has genuinely come to appreciate her.

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Xiangling

Xiangling is an adventurous girl who serves as the head chef of the Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue. Despite her mastery over the art of culinary, Xiangling is passionate about reinventing the wheel and putting her ideas on the plate, no matter how unconventional they may be. Regardless of how absurd some of her ingredients may be, she is fond of constructive criticism and continues to press on.

As such, it is no surprise to see that fans came to be fond of Xiangling’s unwavering determination to realize her ambitions.

Best Female Characters In Genshin Impact: Yae Miko

Anime fans love nothing more than a multi-faceted character that hides a mysterious past behind a pleasant demeanor. Yae Miko assumes many roles in Genshin Impact, revealing that each is equally astonishing.

Apart from overseeing the Grand Narukami Shrine, she owns the Yae Publishing House and is a close friend to Raiden Shogun.

The most interesting part about Miko is how different she is when assuming each of her many roles. As the owner of the Yae Publishing House, she expresses her love for reading, while in the vicinity of the Narukami Shrine, she shows nobility. However, outside of these responsibilities, she enjoys teasing people, occasionally getting carried away in the process – some fans oddly want to be on the receiving end of that.
