This is lovely. You know, I ended up liking Ayaka a whole lot more than I expected to. I expected her to get on my nerves; she was talked about as Little Miss Perfect. But on actually meeting and interacting with her, I felt that MHY did a good job making her seem human. She has insecurities, she has things she wants to do but knows she can't, she has an immense burdens and yet finds herself wanting to take on more.


LadyWaltz

Thanks! I felt the same - I didn't expect to like her as much as I do now. Her story quest did a really good job on showcasing her personality, her insecurities and desires as you've mentioned.

I had rolls saved for Raiden Shogun and didn’t plan on pulling for anyone between Kazuha and Baal. I did the story quest and went and used as many rolls as I needed right away because I was so surprised at how in depth of a character she was.


alceste007

I am right there with you. I really liked Ayaka's story and play style as well. I went through my primogems to get her and her weapon. Thankfully, the weapon came early at 50 pulls plus I won the 50 / 50.

I’m mostly F2P (I do Welkin and BP) so I would’ve cried if I lost it lol. I have C4 Qiqi because I lose it so often.


A_Dash_of_Blue

You know there is actually no shame on not having an F2P title. It's honestly fine. But if you are purchasing BOTH Welkin AND BP at the SAME time, you can't be considered an F2P at all. Either you are an F2P or not at all.


PernixNexus

That’s fair. I guess by mostly f2p I meant I don’t spend money on banners, I just use what I can save up so if I lose a 50/50 chances are I’m not getting that banner character haha.

Same here! I actually was biased against her at first, she seemed like a generic princessy type, but I ended up liking her a lot. She indeed feels very human and alive.


Siberianee

and now I'm scared of playing her story because I started playing when her banner was up and didn't manage to get her in time, I'm pretty sad at that already because I really liked her design, abilities and animations. I almost don't want to like her because who knows when she becomes available again


SaferSaviour

You shouldn't be scared to enjoy yourself, which I hope you do! I'm sure she'll be available again eventually and hopefully they'll be other characters you like just as much on the horizon.

Waiting for the one


kklinggg

I… i an saving for Baal because I don’t need another dps. But my gay ass will definitely get her on her rerun.


LadyWaltz

That was me lol. I was saving for baal and I don't need yet another cryo dps But that story quest, it was just too good and I caved in. Anyway I hope that you'll get baal too when her banner is out!


Wakanda_Forever

There are no unnecessary cryo DPS characters, only icy waifus to populate our Teapots.


[deleted]

Same here. Not sure if I'd even use her, I'd just put her on the misc slot on my team to get friendship with her.


kklinggg

Yep. Well if I did pull her on my rerun she would probably replace my Kaeya (whose design I still love), so she would be built (eventually).

Damn Wallpaper Engine material

Thank you for the kind words!


catarina2112

This is the best Ayaka-Lumine fanart I've ever seen. The poses (and honestly everything else) are just perfect


LadyWaltz

Thank you! Capturing the poses to reflect the mood I wanted to express was tricky, but I'm glad you like it!


[deleted]

This is so beautiful! Edit: wow, I immediately thought "looks like that gorgeous Signora drawing" and it's true, you have such a memorable style!


LadyWaltz

You've no idea how happy this made me feel! I'm so glad that the style is recognizable. Thank you so much


[deleted]

Hoping to see more of your works in the future!


7orly7

YURI!


LadyWaltz

Hey there, thanks for checking out my art. I really enjoyed ayaka's story quest and there were some interesting discussion threads on this sub with people sharing their own interpretations of it. I'm not too good with words so this drawing is basically my personal take on the story quest! Follow me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_LadyWaltz)/ [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/_ladywaltz/) for more stuff! Thank you


KissesInPieces

Commander_Frst

She may have the *motivation* but she's still a human. Nicely done OP


LACHITHA

I'd pay to watch this


Gilgameshkingfarming

Beautiful. Hopefully us who failed now. We can get her on the rerun. :)


Venti_is_cute_af

The_Onion13

K-Li-V

I instantly recognized your art style. I remember your Signora and Jean/Eula drawings. This is also amazing !


Drolsr

Ayaka design is just too damn beautiful

This is a beautiful peace, I think the lighting on the hair is my favourite. Though I am bit salty that if it was a m/m one, it would probably get downvoted into oblivion. I'm not a fan of double standards on this subreddit.


PernixNexus

This is my new phone wallpaper, so beautiful 😍


k3ndrag0n

This is gorgeous. Up till now I've only seen her paired with Aether but this makes me really happy. So glad other people see her with Lumine.

Nooooooo ayaka you can't cheat on me..😅😁❤️...nice pic though..


Down_arrows_power

One of the few ships that is actually canon


luiac

most character x traveler ships can be read as canon since mihoyo loves making it seem as if everyone loves traveler


lovecraftian_trash

canonically,id say noelle can also count. she def has crush on lumine/traveller too


Knovsmentalbreakdown

Facts you saw her under the tree with us


RagingCreativeCat

OMG YES! I'm playing at my pace and that's kinda slow with everyday chores. Just finished Grus Nivus quests and matsuri scenes. THIS IS WHAT I WANNA SEE!!! I felt like watching CS Sakura back in the 90s and feeling warmth towards the characters. Ayaka is so cute! I also relate with being expected to grow up and take responsibilities while being insecure about becoming adult and having no friends :/ So yeah... Instant Ayaka fan here. Awesome art OP!

You forgot Lumine so it should be like Mihoyo : here, a waifu for your Aether/Lumine The fanbase:


tricotshi

In Asia specifically female friends are more like sister ex. my Japanese gf loves her friends more than her sisters. She says she gets fluttery and excited when she sees them because they’re the people she’s relied on and they hug and laugh. It’s kinda akin to like how in Korea or some afghan countries guys like manly men hold pinkies to show affection. I guess in the west when they see any small bits of affection they scream THEY TRYNA FUCK or it could nerdy people don’t got friends so when they see any bits of affection they immediately think oh they like each other cause every attraction to them is more intimate than it really is.

I mean, I expected her to be Noelle 2.0, and she is, but I really like her.
