Aether
AGE: unknown, more than 500, appearance-wise late teens
HEIGHT: he's not very tall, around 165cm? 170cm?
BUILD: lean
HAIR: blonde
EYES: amber/gold
ORIGIN: unknown dead world
LANGUAGE: the language of the unknown dead world, Teyvat's common tongue (learned from Paimon)
VISION
Many people describe Aether as "radiant" or "golden", likely due to his long blonde hair, amber eyes and various gold elements on his outfit. His clothing in particular is said to look quite exotic and out of place in any nation he visits, making him stand out all the more as a foreign traveler. He's no doubt handsome or even beautiful, and there are quite a few instances where people try to flirt with him or compliment his features, particularly his eyes. He always carries himself with an air of confidence and despite fighting and getting in trouble all the time, he does not have any scars on his body.
It is unclear what exactly he is, but aside from being unable to age and being able to use elemental energy without a Vision, he seems very much like a regular human. Fun fact? He describes himself as a star in many instances and the text that talks about him and his sister being captured by Teyvat's gravity also refers to both of them as stars.
On the other hand, Aether does look young and it's a running joke that he is unable to get anyone to serve him alcohol for that reason. He's not very tall or muscular either so those who haven't heard of his achievements are quick to underestimate him.
SOUND
Aether is one of those silent protags, but he does actually have voiced dialogue every now and then. Multiple characters note that he's pretty quiet, allowing Paimon to do all the talking to the point that, for instance, Heizou calls Paimon "Traveler's Voice". It should be noted that Aether did not know the language used in Teyvat at first and Paimon was teaching him for months, so it could be assumed that he got so used to letting her talk for him that he doesn't feel like changing anything. He's more of an observer anyway.
Aether is generally soft-spoken. Unless he doesn't like or distrusts you, then he can be pretty harsh with his words. He's voiced by Shun Horie in Japanese dub.
SCENT
Apparently he smells like the stars?? Whatever that even means. Tanuki say he smells nice. Probably also smells kind of like herbs and flowers since he picks those up all the time.
MISC
Funny enough, the tanuki of the forest in Inazuma seem to recognize him as much older than he appears and once called him "uncle" which made him respond with "It's not uncle. It's big bro." Aether sees himself as a big brother figure to many people.
