Who is Kusanali, the Dendro Archon in Genshin Impact?

A familiar face or new friend?

Genshin Impact has been teasing Sumeru for quite some time. In fact, Yae Miko herself drops several lore bombs about the Dendro Archon and confirms that they are a female. There is a bit of skepticism regarding the true identity of the Dendro Archon, with many fans believing that the real one went into hiding.

Lesser Lord Kusanali is the name given by Yae Miko and proceeded The God of the Woods in leading Sumeru. This event seems to have occurred during the invasion of Khaenri'ah, where it seems that many gods fell, including Makoto, the sister of Ai.

Kusanali is the one currently in Sumeru, and Zhongli revealed that they are the youngest archon, at around 500 years old.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
