Even though there is a lot of hype around the newest additions to the playable roster, Genshin Impact fans seem to be loyal to the old guard that have been part of the game since the beginning. A post on the Genshin Impact subreddit shows an interesting concept of a female version of one of the oldest characters in the game.

Reddit user reveryeen has shared an impressive character concept turning Zhongli into a female Archon. Zhongli is known in the community as the Geo Grandpa since he’s the oldest character in the Genshin Impact story which is probably the reason why reveryeen called their new character Geo Grandma. Many players are absolutely in love with the new concept, and they praise the way the creator managed to redesign the character’s clothes while keeping the same color palette. Redditor reveryeen is known in the community for creating similar artworks that include popular characters like Xiao or Ganyu. Click here to see the full thread.
The Reddit thread has attracted a lot of attention in the community as it gathered almost 5k upvotes. Numerous fans claim that they would prefer if developer HoYoverse decides to introduce a similar character like the one shown in the art. Even though it’s unlikely, there is a theoretical possibility that we get to see a female Zhongli since the Geo Archon that resides in Zhongli’s body could also take a shape of any other being.
Zhongli is a member of the Seven Genshin Impact Archons whose main job is to protect their region and keep the peace between the seven nations. He was the second Archon introduced to the game, right after the Anemo Bow user named Venti. When it comes to his power on the battlefield, many players consider him to be one of, if not the strongest character in all of Genshin Impact. Zhongli’s ability to adapt to almost any team composition can hardly be matched by any other character in the game.
Zhongli’s last appearance on a limited banner was at the start of 2022 during Genshin Impact Version 2.4. However, recent leaks have been hinting that he might receive another banner re-run fairly soon. With numerous rumors claiming that Version 3.0 will introduce only one five-star character, multiple credible leakers claim that Zhongli will most likely be part of the update’s second banner cycle.
Genshin Impact is available now for mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development with no confirmed release date.
