Ultra-photorealistic cinematic film still, full body view of Alicia Vikander as Lan Yan, a reimagined character concept for Genshin Impact. Barefoot, focusd un feet, perfect feet perfect toe, Alicia embodies the elegance and mystique of Lan Yan, a legendary adventurer and scholar with ties to Liyue’s rich history. Her face is illuminated by the soft glow of lantern light, highlighting her smooth, radiant complexion. Her expressive eyes—amber with golden flecks—carry a sense of wisdom and curiosity, perfectly reflecting her dual role as a seeker of knowledge and a protector of the land.
Her hair is styled in cascading waves of deep black, accented with streaks of fiery orange and gold that evoke the flames of a lantern. A delicate, ornamented hairpiece in the shape of a phoenix rests elegantly at the crown of her head, shimmering with intricate details that suggest ancient craftsmanship. Loose strands frame her face, adding a natural and approachable touch to her refined appearance.
Lan Yan’s attire is a harmonious blend of traditional Liyue aesthetics and modern fantasy design, crafted from luxurious silk and brocade. She wears a high-collared, sleeveless qipao-inspired gown in hues of deep crimson and gold, its fabric adorned with intricate embroidery depicting flames and mythical phoenixes. The gown features asymmetrical layers, with one side flowing into a long, semi-transparent train that glimmers faintly with embedded golden threads. A detailed sash cinches her waist, tied elegantly with tassels and jade ornaments that sway gently with her movements.
Her accessories include delicate golden bangles on her wrists, a jade pendant shaped like a phoenix feather, and fingerless gloves that extend slightly past her wrists, made of supple leather with flame-like patterns etched into the material. Her boots are sleek and practical, designed for both combat and exploration, with subtle phoenix motifs carved into the metal guards.
Lan Yan’s weapon is a radiant polearm, its shaft crafted from dark obsidian and inlaid with glowing, ember-like veins of orange and gold. The blade itself is shaped like a phoenix’s wing, shimmering with a fiery aura that flickers subtly in rhythm with her movements.
The background is a breathtaking Liyue harbor scene during the Lantern Rite Festival. Thousands of glowing lanterns float into the star-filled sky, casting warm, golden reflections onto the tranquil waters below. The distant mountains are illuminated by the faint glow of firework bursts, creating a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere. Lan Yan stands on a stone bridge lined with lanterns, her pose dynamic yet graceful as she surveys the festival below with a protective and contemplative demeanor.
The lighting is rich and cinematic, with the warm, golden glow of lanterns illuminating her face and attire. Subtle backlighting highlights the flowing train of her gown and the shimmering streaks in her hair. The ember-like glow of her polearm casts faint, fiery reflections onto the stone bridge and nearby lanterns, adding depth and drama to the scene.
The mood is enchanting and majestic, capturing the fusion of cultural heritage and fantastical elements that define Genshin Impact. Alicia Vikander’s nuanced portrayal of Lan Yan adds a sense of emotional depth and authenticity to the character, blending elegance, strength, and mysticism in a way that feels both grounded and otherworldly.
