Neko

In Genshin Impact, Neko is a talking black cat who resides at Asase Shrine on Seirai Island in Inazuma, claiming to be the "Provisional Head Priestess." She's not just any ordinary cat; she is a character with a unique story and background. After completing the Seirai Stormchasers questline, players will encounter Neko and begin the nine-day-long world quest series called "Neko is a Cat." These quests revolve around restoring the Asase Shrine, with players receiving a different task each day, such as cleaning the shrine, finding items, and interacting with the island's residents. Neko's story is more than just a simple quest chain; it’s a touching tale of loyalty and waiting. She has been waiting for the return of the previous head priestess, Asase Hibiki, a wait that spans hundreds of years and has moved many players. Some fans speculate that Neko might be a 'bakeneko,' a type of youkai from Japanese legends, which adds to her mysterious background. Neko's quests not only provide generous Primogem rewards and in-game items, but also allow players to delve deeper into the lore of Seirai Island and experience a touching story of love and dedication. With her unique personality and story, she has become a memorable non-player character in Genshin Impact.
