Chiori Story Quest ACT I: In-Depth Review and Discussion
Chiori’s Characterization and Personality
Chiori first showed up and was introduced in the story during the Film Festival limited event alongside Chevreuse who ended up being acquainted with her, as an intelligence informer and also friends.
Although the limited event was more focused on Chevreuse since she was released as a playable 4-star character during that patch, we still had our first impression upon meeting with Chiori. Before she was introduced to us as the Traveler, we had more information about her through other people’s voice lines.
From what we gathered so far, Chiori is an Inazuman who came here to Fontaine to run her fashion boutique “Chioriya Boutique”. She is an aspiring fashion designer and has quickly gained quite a good reputation among Fontaine people due to her out-of-the-box style of clothing and fashion. Being so as she is, Chiori no doubt has another sort of reputation regarding her personality.
As many people, including our observation as the player, have noticed how blunt, sarcastic, and sassy her personality is. While we play through her Story Quest, we can see a deep dive on her real personality and attitude. Some say they find Chiori intimidating due to her demeanor of saying things in a blunt and cut-throat manner, often catching her customers and others surprised.
We can also see this head-strong side of hers where she faces any obstacle or negative situation with ease, taking the initiative to do something about it and not waver from pressure. Chiori’s personality is quite refreshing to witness, as you don’t come across characters like her in Genshin Impact yet.
Overall Story Plot
Chiori’s story quest was entertaining, to say the least. The story focuses on Chiori as she prepares for the annual Fontaine Fashion Week while also jugging through clients and orders. When we meet Chiori everything seems to go along great till Kirara shows up in a frenzied and anxious manner. Apparently, Chiori has a business rival who targeted Kirara and the supplies Chiori has ordered for Fashion Week.
We then get to see Chiori in action as she scowls from anger and haphazardly confronts the man behind the disturbance, Uther. Chiori straight-up manhandles him and threatens him to stay away from her friend and her boutique.
Of course, things did not go well after that fiasco as Chiori faced heaps of backlash bad rumors, and gossip about her clothing brand. Chiori ever the confident and headstrong person she is dismisses the gossip and investigates the case while also preparing for Fashion Week with the obstacles thrown at her. Of course, with added friends helping along her way, she manages to successfully expose Uther while also showcasing her amazing clothing line, all in a day’s work.
Final Thoughts
The story quest is quite an enjoyable one that we have gotten so far as there are minimal NPC interactions, with playable characters guest-starring in the story quest. It was fun seeing Chiori’s friends and acquaintances all band together to help her with her situation.
Genshin Impact is improving quite a lot in terms of Story Quest as they have finally heard our criticism on the writing of the previously existing Story Quest being lackluster and are constantly improving on making them more enjoyable and engaging.
