How Did Thoma Get His Vision?
Thoma drifted into Inazuma without resources or anyone to help him. In his optimism, he still strove to make a new life in this unfamiliar country. However, he did learn early on that he needed a favor to be able to survive. He found that in Kamisato Ayato’s hand.
Before this, he lived a more carefree life, having the choice to go around town or explore the wilderness. It was a peaceful and happy life. He didn’t know about ‘repayment’ until Ayato offered his hand. That’s assuming Ayato really was the one who did, as it could be someone else from the Kamisato Clan.
Then, the Kamisato masters both died, leaving the clan in turmoil and the siblings to quell it. Ayato gave Thoma a choice to go or to help them out. Filled with gratitude for the favors he gave, Thoma chose to stay and help. That’s how he became Chief Retainer/Housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan. It was also his way of repaying Ayato and an outward expression of the lessons of loyalty he learned from his father.
This ambition to protect those who had helped him through troubled times burned bright, and he was greeted with a blazing Vision that night.
Pyro Vision holders have a common thread of passion. Even Diluc, the most subdued of the Pyro users, still has the desire to protect Mondstadt. Whether the law, music, bombs, adventuring, or business, it’s likely to be one of the criteria to be given a Pyro Vision. If you’ve been reading the other character bios and think this is too similar to receiving a Cryo one, the difference is in the expression.
Pyro users have expressed their resolve outwardly, usually in the form of something they’re passionate about. Cryo users have more of an internal realization of their resolution. Anyway, there is still much to learn about the mechanism of receiving Visions, so this is all speculation.
That’s all about Thoma, the fixer of Inazuma. Hope you enjoyed reading this, and expect more bios to come! Enjoy Genshin Impact, and look forward to the new characters!
