In Genshin Impact, you can play as 24 characters, including the fierce swordsman, Jean. The heroine is a Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius and hails from the Mondstadt region.

Bringing her to life, popular cosplayer HendoArt shared a mind-blowing transformation into the Dandelion Knight on Instagram. Photographer ‘eccentricerick‘ captured the artist posing as Gunnhildr with her epic sword.

Hendo absolutely nailed every aspect of Jean’s ornate outfit, from the gold trimming, to the lavish buttons and patterned feathers. She also perfectly captured the character’s signature look, mirroring her blonde hair with parted bangs that frame her face.

The prolific cosplayer teamed up with the developers of the game itself,  and uploaded a mini documentary on YouTube showing how she made the stunning outfit. The amount of work she put into recreating every little detail is astonishing.
