Another complex character that would be very very interesting to propose. I originally considered her for Near Pure Good but she might as well be Pure Good after a deeper analysis.
What Is the Work
I don’t have to explain it in full at this point. 2020s game, outlander Traveler goes on a trip around Teyvat in search of their twin sibling who becomes affiliated with the Abyss who want to ruin their natural order.
Who Is She
Furina de Fontaine is a major playable character in the game. She is the human half of the Hydro Archon Focalors who was an uplifted Oceanid who split away her divine form from her humanoid body, who gained her own consciousness separate from that of Focalors', as part of her plan to deceive the Heavenly Principles and return power to the Hydro Sovereign.
What Did She Do
To summarise Furina's actions, she cares about the safety of her people despite being made to play God, secretly working to find a way to end the prophecy, going to Poisson to grieve the losses during the flood there when Navia had her subordinates tell her about the rising waters, and was involved in the plot to turn the Fontainians back into humans by performing at trials to gather the Indemnitium for the death sentence of Focalors, which would destroy the seat of the Hydro Archon and return Neuvillette his full divinity, allowing him to end the floods and prevent Fontainians from dissolving in Primordial Seawater with a small amount being used to power their city. When ultimately being forced to prove herself as an Archon, she mainly complied to prevent anymore losses from the prophecy and Primordial Seawater, which lets the Traveler to connect to Furina's consciousness through her teardrop plus extra sensitivity to Hydro brought on by drinking the Primordial Seawater-spiked Fonta meant for assassinating Navia, allowing her to get over her own trauma, while Neuvillette oversees the execution of Focalors. Also, it is revealed that she personally tried to hold off the flood prophecy by setting up a dam at the coast and blocking off various potential leak points all to no avail.
In addition to this in Story Quest, she had helped an acting troupe cope with the loss of one of their members to Marcel's scheme by standing in for them even though she planned to retire from performing, attaining a dual Arkhe Vision in the process and defeated the Devorator in Clorinde's Story Quest with her Tabletop Troupe.
Corrupting Factors
This is a really tough one. Furina was initially shown to be arrogant, dismissive and tactless towards others, which all stemmed from being tasked by Focalors to pretend to be the Hydro Archon to deceive the Heavenly Principles after splitting away her divinity as well as the curse which is implied to have stunted her mental maturity. However, after the curse was lifted after Focalors' sacrifice, she has started to be more respectful towards others. While she does get reckless sometimes (she was also more like that before Focalors' sacrifice) like when she experimented with her Vision, the latter case is helped as she hasn’t been used to one as she wasn’t given any powers, making it more of a heating up period. Her grandiose personality is also highly implied to be a facade to cope with her sympathetic insecurities about being an Archon akin to Papyrus, as whenever she tried to be humble, people would doubt her as a deity forcing her to put up an act of arrogance, and now that she is no longer the Archon, she is free to be on her best behaviour without any issue to which she did resume back to being the humble hero, opening up to even the Traveler and most of the Fontaine team who put her through the infamous trial, even forgiving the former who accused her of being a fake. In short, Furina pretended to be arrogant so that people could believe in her as a deity, to keep her people safe from the wrath of the Heavenly Principles in the form of the floods.
Admirable Standards
Furina passes for her big role in Neuvillette ending the floods and saving the Fontainians, while knowing about the prophecy as a whole, going as far as to risk her life to find a means to end the prophecy, as she proves that she isn’t an Archon having being forced into acting as one by complying to Navia having her touch Primordial Seawater in spite of fearing for her identity being exposed, as she had to do something about the prophecy acting as the Archon, also helped by her admitting that she fruitlessly tried to hold back the prophecy through various methods such as damming up the coastlines in her confession to the Traveler in the Giant Magic Box. Her resources are dynamic but still on the low end since Furina doesn’t have powers while being cursed by Focalors to live as long as she can find a way to end the prophecy, and the time she finally got a Vision was when she is just a mortal human, and she only has Kaveh (who destroyed the Diadem of Knowledge to prevent further deaths from Sachin's research and allowing Cyno to ban lethal games from the Inter-Darshan Championships) and Thoma to compete with through her low resources. However, Kaveh had to spend all his money building the Palace of Alcazarzaray and Thoma had connections to the Yashiro Commission whereas Furina started out as immortal but with no powers despite being showered in riches, but after becoming a mortal, was only given what Neuvillette gave to her which is a middle-class life before attaining a Vision; this lower resource tier would allow Furina to stand out with them, through her admirable acts of personally trying her best to prepare Fontaine against the floods and delaying the prophecy by pretending to be the Hydro Archon, only trying to guard the secret upon facing trial for the former for the sake of thousands of lives in Fontaine knowing that the prophecy is bound to be triggered if the revelation about her deception was leaked.
Final Verdict
Weak yes if you consider her low resources relative to the slightly more important role in subverting the prophecy.
