Ineffa
“First, you must acknowledge that Ineffa is the world’s best robot! Second, you must respect Ineffa’s opinions and decisions. Additionally, you must accept that the Workshop of… no, wait… Ineffa has the final say in all matters!”
— Aino, from the “Ineffa Implementation and External Support Agreement”
“…Several years have passed since she departed—does she still follow her own path? Would Mother have felt the same when I embarked on my journey all those years ago…”
— Unknown author, from an ancient journal unearthed in Natlan

Humanity’s attempt to replicate the flow of life through gears and mechanics is a recurring chapter in Teyvat’s history.
Khaenri’ah forged steel giants to conquer the land; the Lord of Artifices illuminated an era with clockwork mechanisms.
Perhaps, to some mad individuals, humans are merely machines made of sinew and bone?
If we shift our gaze to creators beyond humans, if we redraw boundaries for creations beyond machinery…
The Archons entered the Primordial Sea, the sinners plunged into the Abyss. The Ancient Dragon etches consciousness and soul into Phlogiston.
Whether driven by compassion, ambition, eternal dominion, or the desire to defy fate.
…
Beside these supreme wisdoms and powers, this workshop is but an isolated child assembling their playground.
Compared to such grand destinies and designs, Ineffa—at her moment of creation—carried no lofty expectations.
— At least in this reboot cycle, her assigned mission was singular: companionship.
