Nilou Cosplay from Genshin Impact

Nilou is a 5-star Hydro character in Genshin Impact and a dancer from the Zubayr Theater in the region of Sumeru. She is known for her elegant performances and gentle personality, often using dance as a form of expression both on and off the battlefield.

Her design features flowing fabrics, gold ornaments, and lotus-inspired motifs, reflecting her role as a performer and her connection to water-based abilities. This combination of movement, color, and detail makes Nilou a popular choice for cosplay.
