How Did Eula Get Her Vision?
Eula had never understood why the Lawrences had to reclaim their name. She had never experienced the ‘humiliation’ her kin constantly harped on and on about. She was more concerned about escaping the torment and pressure to do so and gaining the approval of others.
But first, she has to learn how to relate to others, and that’s where she’s stumped. Fortunately, she came under the tutelage of an old Outrider (Amber’s grandfather, who also taught the latter). Under his teachings, she found her ‘self’, her grievances and vengeance, and her path to revenge. At that moment, her Vision appeared before her.
With the past theory that the Cryo Archon’s ideal is Love, what Eula probably found was love for oneself. The Lawrence family was hated, and with her kin’s drive to reclaim what they had lost, there was not much attention to be given to children. She didn’t lose anything, like Chongyun or Ganyu, but maybe there’s something else we’re missing—we can only speculate until more details appear through the game.
Eula is an interesting character, indeed, filled with contradictions. It’s interesting untangling all these contradictions and find the real her underneath it all. There’s a bit of it showing in her first Story Quest, so play that when you can!
