A Genshin Impact fan has created an interesting concept that makes the famous Dendro Archon Nahida look like an adult. As a new Archon, she plays a pivotal role in the whole Sumeru region serving as its main protector. After months of speculation, she was introduced to the game on the first banner of the current update alongside Yoimiya.
Nahida has quickly become one of the most popular Genshin Impact characters in the game, attracting millions of sales in just a couple of weeks. Players who haven't pulled on her banner yet will, unfortunately, have to wait for Nahida's first re-run as the second update cycle already introduced a new set of limited characters.
At the time of her release, a lot of fans did not like her overall appearance claiming that giving a childlike model to an Archon seems unnatural since all of them are hundreds of years old. However, an exceptional character development arc has turned Nahida into one of the fan-favorite characters in Genshin Impact. A new fan-made concept made by Reddit user MilkTeeRex reveals how the new Dendro Archon could've looked if HoYoverse decided to give her an adult-like appearance like it was the case with the three previously released Archons.

Players liked the design as the post reached over 11k upvotes with a couple of comments stating that the design reminds them of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who was the original Sumeru Archon that passed away during the cataclysm many centuries ago. Even though Nahida looks like a child, she is actually around 500 years old which still makes her the youngest out of the seven different Genshin Impact Archons.
Nahida's popularity was also proven by the latest revenue reports which revealed that the double banner she was featured on alongside Yoimiya broke Genshin Impact's overall sales record by overtaking Raiden Shogun and Sangonomiya Kokomi. This achievement is even more impressive considering the fact that her banner was a couple of days shorter than usual.
Sumeru's protector is by many considered the strongest Archon in the game, at least when it comes to her power on the battlefield. Her unique kit allows her to enhance a lot of the new elemental reactions that arrived with the Dendro element in version 3.0. Nahida is also very useful in world exploration since her elemental skill allows her to collect items from a distance.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
