Profile
Captain of the Crux Meridianam Fleet and her crew. She is quite a free and frank woman. »
~ In-game attribute text
There are those who say that it can divide the mountains and separate the sea. Others that shoots lightning with his sword. Some that even the most powerful of sea beasts is no match for her.
For those who are not from Liyue, they will think they are being exaggerated, but those who have sailed with her will say ... "No matter what sea beasts he comes across, Beidou will make sure to divide them all in two."
Appearance
Beidou has a tall, curvy build with long dark brown hair, topped with a white bobby pin, and red eyes, with a red patch on his left eye and an earring on his left ear.
Her outfit consists of a black leotard underneath a red sleeveless qipao dress with side slits cut down to the hips and the chest area cut out, with her Vision chained below her left breast and a fur-lined shawl, plus a pair of fingerless gloves and thigh high boots.
Beidou, according to Tea Master Liu Su, stands 6 feet tall and "is bigger than the biggest man you've ever seen."
Personality
Beidou loves to travel the oceans, set sail with his ship and crew anywhere they want. She admits that she is used to navigating the seas that she is not used to staying on land for long periods of time.
She is a good captain, she gets along with her entire crew, prioritizing the interests of her ship and her crew above all else. Partly due to his time in the seas, he can easily read people in an instant and shows no fear against powerful entities, having defeated Leviathan Haishan, something Xiao considers remarkable. He often breaks the rules on Liyue, often resulting in heavy fines from the Tianquan, but he doesn't seem to mind paying, despite having lost a significant amount of Mora in doing so.
Beidou also has a good friendship with Ganyu, but due to his poor position with the Seven Stars of Liyue, he keeps it a secret to avoid putting a negative light on her.
He likes to eat robust food, mainly fried or spiced, and he enjoys drinking. Because of this, she likes Xiangling's cuisine and doesn't mind trying any new dishes for her when she returns to the port.
History
Beidou is the leader of the Crux Meridianam Fleet, an armed fleet based in the port of Liyue. This fleet is really what it sounds like: a group of ships armed to the teeth. Without going into too much detail, everything the Crux Fleet does is approved by the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Beidou is a successful leader adored by her faithful and loyal sailors. They even believe that Beidou can calm the storms and waves of the sea. "That's Beidou! Even the mightiest storms bow to his might!"
Character story 1
Beidou herself has quite a reputation in Liyue. Although his name is not as well known as that of the Seven Stars of the city, any merchant or merchant has heard of the name Beidou and the Crux Meridianam Fleet. Such a person gives rise to many rumors. when people talk about her, most are exaggerated stories comparing her power to that of the gods.
Another rumor says that he is capable of summoning thunder with his sword, and that he split a monster from the depths of the sea in two with a single blow. People take it as a drunken rumor, but those who have sailed alongside Beidou do not take it as a joke. According to them, "if there really is a giant monster in the sea, Beidou is capable of splitting it in two."
Clearly, Beidou's navigational ability is only as good as his reputation in business. That is why she has earned the nickname "the Dragon Queen".
Character story 2
Business people tend to put their profits before friendship. This is simply accepted as an absolute truth. At least, it is a topic that is joked about at banquets.
But things are different in Liyue, where everyone is involved in business. They reject the notion entirely, especially where friendship ties are sacred.
Foreign merchants joke that the only thing special about Liyue is that "Even friendship is a bargaining chip!" To this, the locals of Liyue reply, "So how do you explain the Crux Meridianam Fleet?"
The Crux Meridianam Fleet has earned its reputation over the years, and it is extremely expensive to hire for a service. Even so, on one occasion, when the ship found itself in the middle of a heavy storm, Beidou noticed a small boat nearby. Seeing how the waves were shaking him, he ordered his crew to tow the boat to safety, despite the risk that the ship's keel could be destroyed. Beidou shared with the crew of the small ship what little food and water the Crux Fleet had left as it navigated through the storm.
Finally, after several days, the fleet brought the rescued ship to a safe place to dock. Grateful to Beidou for saving their lives, the rescued ship's crew became his faithful business partner, thereafter. When the locals of Liyue relate this story, they smile and insist: "When someone risks their life like this, you can be sure that it takes a lot more than interests to explain their actions! Would you really dare to look Beidou in the eye and tell him that compassion is a bargaining chip? "
Character story 3
It is said that the one who manages the strings of the Crux Meridianam Fleet is Ninguang, the Heavenly Balance of the Seven Stars.
However, the two people involved in this claim flatly deny, although their arguments for doing so are completely different. As a member of the Seven Stars, Ninguang always needs someone to get her hands dirty for her. Out of all the candidates, he chose Beidou. That the Crux Meridianam Fleet agreed to collaborate is purely incidental.
But if Beidou ever hears people say that he is a Ninguang puppet, he angrily denies it and claims that they only cooperate. Beidou is unique among Ninguang's collaborators. Unlike ordinary people, he is not afraid to confront her, and even often disagree with her.
Ninguang's cabinet worries about Beidou's cheeky character, but Ninguang just smiles and dismisses such a ridiculous concern.
"Nonsense! Beidou is probably the easiest person to control in all of Liyue. Just tell her the truth and what she will get as a reward, and she will come."
Character story 4
After a long journey, the Crux Meridianam Fleet reached the mainland and held a celebration for three days, as usual. The fall had passed like any other year, save for a new chef in town: Xiangling, the cook at Wanmin Restaurant. To cut down on the costs of the celebration, Xiangling was tricked into meeting her at the entrance to the city, kidnapping her and taking her to the ship. Once there, he looked at Beidou and said, "If what you want is to eat Yue-style seafood dishes, then I'm sorry, but I can't do it. My goal is to transcend the conflicts between the two great cooking styles ... "
Beidou simply pointed to a sack of gold coins at his feet and said with a laugh, "You cook whatever you are good at cooking. We did a good job last time. How about I give you 50 Blackberries as payment?" And so it was that, to test his ability to cook seafood, Xiangling reluctantly accepted the offer.
In the end, Beidou recognized Xiangling's skill and said in front of his sailors, "Remember his name well! Xiangling will be famous throughout Liyue!" Since then, the rest of the crew considered the chef as their sister. Xiangling also admires Beidou for his generosity with money and his frankness. He frequently travels with her in search of exotic marine ingredients. As the daughter of the sea, Beidou never ceases to amaze Xiangling with her knowledge of seafood.
Now, that Xiangling heeds Beidou's recommendations is another story.
Character story 5
Some say that an object resembles its master. Although it may not be an accurate description, the Crux Meridianam Fleet does resemble Beidou, having the same qualities.
However, there are still secrets among the fleet, spreading to places Beidou has not been aware of.
After his first safe return, his First Mate took the new sailors out for a drink and told them in great detail an old story: In the past, the Crux Fleet set out on a journey to brave the unknown seas and encountered a terrible storm at death's door.
At that moment, Beidou was standing on the deck behind the wheel, singing a Liyue fisherman's song in the midst of that storm.
"... Until the waves calmed down and dawned on the distant horizon." The First Officer ended the story with this last sentence and a longing expression on his face.
As the business grew and the fleet expanded, he added more and more incredible details so that newbies would worship Beidou as a goddess.
Rumors of the dock workers
1. In front of a three-headed hydra of unimaginable size, Beidou launched his great sword. Spinning in midair, he sliced through the hydra's three vertebrae before returning to his hand.
2. Beidou beat Ninguang twice at chess. Twice! The important thing was not that, after losing, Ninguang had to pay her a lot of money, but that Beidou dared to challenge her.
3. Since the day he killed the sea monster Haishan, Beidou never sang a saloma again.
4. Yes, Beidou knows a lot of salomas, you don't have to ask him. Only the foolish dare to do so. Or do you want to end up as the three-headed hydra?
Vision
Liyue and Inazuma share a common saying: "Their fins formed the deep ocean, and their tail created the high mountains." Fishermen learned this phrase while on land long ago, and they sang it over and over again, spreading the tune until it became the most lauded song people know today. Every time the mist accumulates on the surface of the sea, a distant song can be heard sung by the fishermen hidden in their white boats: "Its fins formed the deep ocean, and its tail created the high mountains ..."
This was Beidou's childhood lullaby. The story of Rex Lapis defeating the sea monsters had become legendary among the people of Liyue. Of girl. Beidou loved those tales, and often dreamed that she too would like to see that giant fish. However, one day he sang the song with a different emotion in his heart. The entire crew sang as they sailed.
Haishan was in the water very close. Half fish and half dragon, he was fearsome as a deity, kicking up waves tens of meters high with ease. Those used to risking their lives at sea were destined to meet Haishan. Beidou had wanted to do it since he was nine years old, and he dreamed of cutting off his head in one fell swoop.
Many times he had defied the creature, and many times he had failed. But there was a day that was different. That day, he charged Haishan with his best sword while pushing his sailors out of the way. The fierce battle lasted four days.
The fleet attacked Haishan with their cannons, their harpoons, their arrows, and their ropes, while Beidou fought the creature for ten hours until late at night.
Haishan felt more comfortable in the dark, so not a single member of the fleet dared to sleep that night. Beidou waited at the bow of the ship while listening to the sound of the wind.
A hit; just one hit. That was what he needed to defeat him. Then she waited motionless in the cold night wind. At dawn, without eating or drinking all night, Beidou heard a change in the sound of the waves. Then, he delivered a blow that was like thunder, like a raging wave that sliced off the gigantic monster's head.
Thunder split the sky, and purple lightning struck right before Beidou, who was completely bathed in the blood of his enemy. The dazzling purple flash that fell from the sky like lightning was even more valuable than Haishan's own blood. This is how the dragon slayer obtained her Vision: a divine gift for that person capable of subjugating the terrible beast.

Curiosities
- Beidou has his Vision embedded in his belt on the left side of his hip.
- The name of this character was probably inspired by the BeiDou satellite navigation system, originally from China.
- The Big Dipper is called Beidou (北斗) in Chinese, exactly the same name as Beidou, which implies that she is a very important person for the Seven Stars. Look for "Bei Dou" in the Chinese names of the stars, and you will see the names of the Seven Stars lined up next to it.
