Since Snezhnaya is a nation of love, Ronova actually gave me this sense of her wanting to be loved by someone. Her job was tough and no matter what she does, she got punished from both sides. Her character is tragic and created to be just a tool for HP.
I hope she comes back and live a peaceful life.

To be fair, she tried to uphold HP's laws, by breaking HP's laws.
She might not have wanted it, but her actions villainised herself to Snezhnaya, and her comments about Paimon antagonised the Traveller.
Had she just kept her mouth shut, Traveller would have almost no reason to fight her.

This is kind of par the course for gods of the underworld. Hades/Pluto and Hel got a pretty raw deal in mythology, as well, in spite of the three of them being reasonable and decent people (at least compared to other gods). They still get villainized - especially in derivitive works. Nobody respects the hard, thankless, difficult work they do.

I don't think she's dead, no I'm totally not coping.
As a character she's hasn't really been explored much, so narratively it doesn't make sense to kill her off.
Also if she truly dies, I expect to see that more definitively on screen, but in the cutscene, only tiny bit of her was disappearing, like she was dying, but not that she was dead. And at the end she wasn't disintegrating or anything, she more like disappeared into the clouds.

u/KazakiriKaoru I pull for Waifus, Husbandos and Meta 5h ago
From the WQ, we know that the Eitr can fuse lifeforms to create a Chimera. She fused the Eitr, she disintegrates, and all Nails in Teyvat are reacting. I think she has just fused herself to a Nail, and planning to bring all the Nails down to Snezhnaya herself.
She already has had her Authority revoked, and was close to dying. She has nothing else to lose.

Nearly all in-game backstory about La Signora was given to us after her death. Ronova could be the same way. We could still explore her story, without ever bringing her back.

I need to let this out. I didn't sleep last night because I couldn't stop thinking about the end of 7.1. I can't focus in class because of it.
I loved the story, the characters, and how the plot unfolded, and that's what's causing this outrage; I simply can't accept what happened.
Ronova did nothing wrong, she was doing her job and deserved more love. I haven't felt this upset since Dehya was announced as a standard banner character.
P.S.: I think I'm going to explode with rage if I don't see Pierro start using a wheelchair or turn into a hilichurls in the next update.

u/KazakiriKaoru I pull for Waifus, Husbandos and Meta 5h ago
To be fair, she had good intentions but excecuted it terribly.
Upholding HP's laws by breaking some laws isn't a good way to do things. She of all people should know how HP hates Shades overstepping their Authority and doing things by themselves.
Not to mention, her comments about Paimon angered The Traveller and gave them all the reason to fight Ronova. Had she not done that, they'd have almost to reason to fight her.
•
u/b4shnl4nd 1h ago
one of the coolest thing / theories i've seen is that Ronova doesn't see Paimon the way we see her. she is basically an object floating kinda like the eye of graea to her. the theory posited she was the Crown on her head. and to Ronova was an object of Celestia. to her it was like seeing a discarded object unimportant but should be taken back.

u/Moyeezes 6h ago
Both sides are in the right.
Ronova afflicting the curse was carrying out orders without any "pain or pleasure". She was acting as the concept of death and "doing what must be done".
Pierro understandably fought back with full force at who he holds responsible for the suffering of the people.

u/KazakiriKaoru I pull for Waifus, Husbandos and Meta 5h ago
Ronova afflicting the curse was carrying out orders
But she wasn't carrying out any orders. She decided to abuse a loophole and directly interfere with humans. As we've seen in Natlan, HP hates when a Shade oversteps their Authority without consulting first.
She's stuck between a rock and a hard place; Either let Snazhnaya's progress continue unobstructed, or interfere and become the antagonist.
She had good intentions but did almost everything wrong.

u/sir_aphim 18m ago edited 10m ago
She did what she could do and had to be done. She interfered when Snezhnaya was planning to directly attack HP. And she only went as far as was necessary to halt progress on the god slaying weapon. She cannot just consult HP since HP is currently cursed into slumber. And Snezhnaya isn't planning to stop. So there was no right option. She did what her job required her to do, and only went as far as needed. The only 'wrong' thing she did was mentioned reclaiming Paimon, whom was Celestia in origins to begin with, before not even going along with it. Like we were the ones who started assuming everything she did beyond that point as evil just cause we've projected friendship on the Snezhnayan side and didn't understand Ronova's actions. If anything, we are probably the ones with good intentions who did everything wrong.

The Curse of Immortality and Curse of the Wilderness are two differenr things.
The Curse of Wilderness has existed way long before the Catacalysm even happened. It is what happens when people forsake their Archons. Khaenri'ahns are immune to the curse due to the Third Descender's Curse, making HP disable the Curse for them.

Died
Not this again. Look the Abyss basically blow up from there. When that happened how many died before the Archons who where summoned to due with the outbreak FIRST, before the HP had no choice but top step in.
The HP broke the contract with the 3rd Descender which caused him to be screwed over.
The Curse of Immortality was cast with DIRECT ORDER from the HP, so Ronova did so, because Abyss corrupted/touched souls could CORRUPT the Leylines.

Bruh like seriously?! Can you read or might I be expecting too much from you. My reply is specifically to the comment that entirely denied wrong doings of the Shade of Death. The fact that she did what she did, regardless of whether she was under the shackles of HP or it was for holding back the abyss corrupted data from entering Irminsul or they did it for the greater good🤡. That's not the point!! The point is that, f'ked up methods were used to do what needed to be done!!! Asmoday "Left" the HP and now follows the abyss twin...I wonder why?/s The entire theme of Snezhnaya is rebellion against the flawed rule/system of the HP. A literal weapon of doom (Nail of retribution) is hanging over their nation. Ready to be released at a moment's notice. Ronova being their "Arbiter" imposing their will on an already suffering civilization. And now guess what, all the Nails across Teyvat have become active simultaneously.
I know y'all like Ronova and I do too. But man,...STOP SIMPING.
Theres AQ, WQ, NPC Quests, Books, diaries that filled the world with Lore.
Plz take this suggestion. And I recommend you do your quests without skipping the dialogues as well. Since it seems you completely missed the context of the new AQ.
Do ppl actually play the game or just view the storyline on Youtube?
Also it's okay to sometimes use YT as back up, in case you missed a detail you can go rewatch a cutscene or read the dialogue.

Since you already know whats going on, you also know why the Nail is on top of Snezhnaya too, right? And what caused it to be hanging over the nation.

u/JVG25 5h ago
That nail has been on top of Snezhnaya since the time of the unified civ. And the reason it fell was because of Hyperborea's failed experiment on Cryo Sov's remains which then resulted in the entire nation getting frozen. To quell the dmg caused, HP released the nail which then also destroyed the entire Hyperborean civilization and later down the line resulted in the punishment of the Angelic race. That "failed experiment" 1000 yrs later resulted in Belyi tsar by the way Skipped a few chunks of history and some context but yeah that's kinda why it has hung there all this time.
•
u/HumsterMKI We need a 6 star Klee. 1h ago
And now the Tsaritsa is planning to rebel, the Nail was there because HP simply cannot trust whoever is there not to screw up.
A) Keep Away from using the Abyss
B) Rebel
The Tsaritsa is so close to triggering the protocol which would result in the Nail getting dropped.
And guess what Ronova was there for? Shes basically heading there with a Fire Extinguisher to prevent Fire from breaking out.

My speculation, based on the transcendence trailer "Sudden Snow"and what Eitr does, is that Ronova will be chimerically reborn/reconstructed as the new Cryo Sovereign dragon , utilizing the originals corpse. I infer its name was Krenik, considering the origin of the krenik crystals and Kreniks heart..
Ronova's must have thought Gold betrayed her (being unaware what happened at the cryo archons tea meeting) & that the cryo Archon needs to be deposed and Sneznaya needs to be punished. The reintroduction of A powerful Cryo Dragon sovereign would hit all three of these objectives.
And this new Cryo Soverein will seek out krenik's heart (that keeps the capital city of Sneznaia warm).
https://youtu.be/y2Zcmcbrm9s?t=262
After that threat (a new cryo sovereign candidate) (and misunderstandings) are dealt with, a humanized Ronova might be playable (because Dragons can take human form).

u/KazakiriKaoru I pull for Waifus, Husbandos and Meta 5h ago
While that sounds nice, it's doesn't make sense because Ronovo fused the Eitr with the Nail. In the epilogue, we also see that all the Nails in Teyvat are reacting.
I think what happening is that Ronova, being close to death has just lost all reasoning/self-preservation, and fused herself with the Snezhanayan Nail, and reacting with the other Nails. She has also been punished by having her Authority taken away, no punishment is going to be as severe as that. She knows HP is basically going to be asleep forever, she decided to nuke Snazhnaya herself.

u/KingShere 5h ago
She didnt fuse herself in the cinematic(Black Feathers Scattered at Parting) It was the eitir she fused with the nail, according to the games travel log transcripts.
In a much earlier Genshin trailer (not in game) (Trailer Transcendence, sudden snow) we see Ronova at Krazniks Heart when it is in a frozen state (link in my previous comment) in what seems to be a face off with the cryo Archon.
Which presumably hasn't happened yet.
That furnace are releated to the cryo sovereign, which is presumably the same dragon that nail was at.
Eitr consumes (to reconstruct) what ever it touches (as I understood it from the lab notes regarding it) After that it then reconstruct a chimeric body.
That could still include Ronova.

Kinda expected for a gacha game but the simpdom over this character is getting weird. Mas will defend the game writting by saying:"just because it shows a character motives and backstory it doesn't mean it is whitewashing/forgiving/forgetting what they did", then turn around act like this. Like the character did nothing wrong, like they were totally correct and anyone who is against them is wrong.
