Mavuika, Citlali, and Yanlan have all been officially announced by HoYoverse. Let's take a look at them!
The second the first Natlan trailer was revealed, everyone was excited to finally see Genshin Impact's version of the beloved character Himeko: Mavuika. And now we're super close to being able to play her, as well as some other promising looking units, as they are coming in Genshin Impact's version 5.3!
Mavuika's dripmarketing
Mavuika is the Pyro Archon, ruler of Natlan, and the God of War, who does her absolute best to support her people in the war against the Abyss. She is likely going to be a 5-star Pyro unit using a Claymore, and will become a DPS and Sub-DPS character.
#GenshinImpact #Mavuika"Even in the complex tapestry of Teyvat's night sky, such a dazzling constellation is seldom seen. Its scorching radiance is as though it wants to burn a hole in the very fabric of the sky itself. When it finally becomes a shooting star streaking toward... pic.twitter.com/DXAQh7Sfug

Many people are concerned about her riding a motorcycle, saying that it doesn't really fit into the world of Teyvat. Similar critiques have also popped up about characters like Kinich, Xilonen, and Chasca.
But Genshin does explain Natlan's technology to a degree, with the Phlogiston powering everything. But what do you think?
Citlali's dripmarketing
Citlali is an Elder of the Masters of the Night-Wind, who likes to spend her time reading light novels rather than go outside and touch some grass. She is likely going to be a 5-star Cryo unit using a Catalyst, and will become a Support and Shield character.
#GenshinImpact #Citlali"I've always thought that Citlali was chief material, and that she'd take that role on eventually. But two hundred years on, and she's still as unenthused about going outside as ever! It might take a figure more fascinating than those light novels for our... pic.twitter.com/rewk4gSVEh

Citlali is certainly a fan-favorite with her beautiful design and unique personality. People seem to especially resonate with her struggles with social interactions and in raising Ororon.
Lan Yan's dripmarketing
Lan Yan is a character we unfortunately do not know much about, aside from her design, vision, and nationality. She seems to come from Chenyu Vale, according to her dripmarketing post on Twitter/X, which her design suits well.
#GenshinImpact #Lanyan"Don't be fooled by her young age, she's been weaving rattan handicrafts for a decade at least! When I was a kid, I thought it would be funny to trample one of the baskets at home. Luckily for me, Lan Yan and her grandpa came to visit that day to check our... pic.twitter.com/QGh41X86Ss

Lan Yan will likely be a 4-star Anemo unit using a Catalyst, and will become a Support and Shield character — making her the first Anemo shielder.
