Who is Jinhsi in Wuthering Waves?

Jinhsi is the magistrate of Jinzhou, one of the major cities in Wuthering Waves. She is a very important figure as being the magistrate she is tasked to perform her duties towards the city and its people diligently. She also has to maintain her nobility as it is one of the conditions that comes with being a magistrate.

Apart from that, she has direct contact with Jue, the Oracle Sentinel of Jinzhou. Jue is the massive dragon that you might have noticed in trailers or at the very beginning of the story.

As a Resonator and a magistrate Jinhsi must be ready to fight off Lament and protect her people from all dangers.
