i disagree. i think mandating that entities existing on a higher plane of existence must be aesthetically unintelligible/monstrous is a bit trite. aesthetics, though the most readily accessible characteristic, in fact play a secondary if not tertiary role in cultivation of terror/distance and, moreover, in the context of gacha this is undesirable. the way dain describes the particulars of the hilichurl curse - how it changed khaenriahns on a level that transcends biological or even magical and how it is tied to the very fundaments of their being/existence - does more to display the distance than any ornamental appareling every could. on a meta level, though this too is overplayed, creating a design that generates a mass psychosis field effect wherein 95% of the people that view her design hand wave the fact that she enters the trailer by brutally killing an old lady and a bunch of children and making a crow grotesquely explode with a mere touch is more "lovecraftian" than a tentacle monster or ronova forma de la muchos ojos

Yes but why does she not love herself?

the entire point of genshin, the theme interwoven into every single story to some capacity and every single element of the plot, is that a sufficiently strong will can sometimes overcome literal fate (i,e gods i,e an impossibly strong deity level entity) and that fear of defeat in the face of insurmountable odds should not shake your resolve
this is why people have visions, it is why the twins were summoned to tevyat, it is why khaenriah reached heights never before achieved by any civilization and why it experienced its commensurable fall, it is why nibelung got carved up and made into the gnoses, why orobashi sacrficied himself, why all of the sinners became corrupted by abyssal magic, etc...
its so fucking funny that shoneniggers, who willl praise the courage and strength of gary stus in their mickey mouse universes, immediately run away with cum dribbling down their legs not even after the first fight but at the first sign of adversity
