Lantern Rite 2026 Event - Istaroth saved Zibai?!

First part of the event ends with a bombshell revelation with Zhongli revealing that Istaroth (Ruler of Time and one of the four Shades) is the reason why Zibai is still "alive" despite dying long ago. Basically Zibai before dying split her soul in three pieces and sent them in different directions, normally they would've dissipated, but Istaroth intervened with her authority over time to make sure they are preserved up to this day.
After Lumine resonated with Zibai's soul fragment, we decided to try and get the three pieces together and revive Zibai. These three pieces apparently are three different aspects of her, so we're going to see three very different personalities. The one we met in this chapter was very silent and serious, but I'm hoping to see a more friendly/happy version of her too.
Her character design and even the animations seems to be heavily similar to Yixuan from ZZZ even though she has, of course, way less skin being shown compared to the former. I'm not a huge fan of these more "lady-like" characters, but I will reserve my judgment until I can actually see her real personality in action (after she merges back).
