Erlking Jean Bio

Before I talk about my Erlking Jean kinda-OC, I need to talk about regular Jean because the two are inseparably linked.

Jean, from an early age, was to be THE Gunnhildr heir. Despite the hatred Mondstadt has for aristocracy, the Gunnhildrs remain a prestigious family. They have always remained steadfast in their role as Mondstadt's protectors, their family motto even being "For Mondstadt, always". While her mother was a strict teacher, and instilled in her the values of their family name, Jean still was able to have a happy childhood, making friends with the Ragnvindr brothers and having a baby sister.

However, as the years past, Jean excelled at her studies and swordplay, her little sister, Barbara, did not. Jean would be the golden child of the Gunnhildrs, while Barbara would fall behind, in the eyes of her mother. Eventually, her parents divorced due to a conflict in what they wanted from their children, and Jean lost both her sister and father that day, severed from the Gunnhildr clan. With only her mother, which was more like her teacher, Jean was isolated.

The pressure of holding the Gunnhildr name continued, but Jean persevered, rewarded with a hollow love. Her friends from childhood, Kaeya and Diluc, had also drifted away after their schism. Though she didn't know what happened, the fact remained. Jean was alone. And she had to live with being alone.

No one complained when Jean became the Acting Grandmaster. Everyone agreed she was the perfect fit; kind, diligent, and unwavering. As a Gunnhildr should be.

But of course, she's not perfect. Varka would have made Noelle a knight, but Jean's expectations are too high. Whenever Klee gets up to mischief, Jean grounds her in "solitary confinement", because that's apparently what parents should do. She still holds Barbara at a distance. And of course, the big one, even when she promises others she'll take a break, she continues working. Over and over again. Working and working alone is all Jean has ever known. But people allow her, they understand even if some don't like it. Because it's for the good of Mondstadt.

And that is where we pick up at with Erlking Jean.

Erlking Jean's Mondstadt was destroyed.

She was one of the few survivors. Noelle was never able to become a Knight. Lisa had ran out of time. Jean would never be able to mend her relationship with Barbara.

In a strange twist of fate, she met a Traveler, but not the honorary knight she knew. This was a Traveler from another universe. They too had permanently lost their sibling, so they are traveling the multiverse with an artifice they created, looking for a replacement for their sibling. Tempted by such technology, Jean stole it. She just wanted to see her home again.

And what she found was Mondstadt in ruins again.

As she traveled the multiverse, Mondstadt somehow always finds its way to ruin. Along the way, she learns that Barbara has always felt inadequate compared to her and would always be in her shadow. Lisa had always had a crush on Jean, but she was never able to reciprocate due to work, dooming her love to be unrequited. It's when she came across a world where Varka never stepped down and Mondstadt was able to survive, she had a realization.

SHE was the cause of so much suffering in Mondstadt. SHE was the reason why Mondstadt fell. Mondstadt was to be always doomed under HER command.

It broke her. Every world she visited, she saw countless Jeans repeat the same mistakes over and over again. She saw that every Jean that will never improve. She saw that every Jean will always break her promises, to her people, to her sister, to her home.

...She then understood what she had to do.

For the good of Mondstadt, Every Jean Must Die.

Disillusioned, she cast aside the title of Gunnhildr. She views it with contempt because without it, she is nothing. She could never be anything because of it. The title of Gunnhildr is a cloak of arrogance to cover up her true hollow filthy self.

Though she hates her family name, the motto remains close to her heart. Though she never lied when she said it, it was a reminder of her duty. But when she cast off the Gunnhildr name, when she says it, it is wholly earnest.

"For Mondstadt, always."

So she began to carry out her crusade, tired of seeing her home destroyed by her own hands. To rid all worlds of Jean. To save Mondstadt.

A howling tempest follows in her wake, and the screams of distant worlds can be heard on the wind.
