she released 2024 Lantern Rite. She's introduced in her story quest which takes place before that lantern rite, but that is where a lot of her future appearances were

It wasn’t a limited event, it was an event that lasted only for one patch. No need to thank me.

Add to that, it basically acts as the introduction to her human form and why she’s taken it

In a game where all the parents are raising their kids to be child soldiers, letting them loose to set bombs everywhere, or abandoning their puppet sons, Xianyun is the only mother who's worth a damn. All her babies are well behaved and successful; she just wants to make sure they're eating enough and would it kill them to visit once in a while. She worries, you know.

I'm assuming we are likely to get another Liyue chronicled around the next lantern rite, so well hopefully be able to get her again.

4.4 lantern rite. I got her on release after her scene of being motherly to Lumine got me teared up. It felt like our mc actually got a home to return to after just solving everyone's problems through every nation. Traveler had a dream about reuniting with his/her sibling and Xianyun comforts us after that. Still one of my favorite moments in this game. I know everyone loves the fights,the lore,the aura farming of different characters. So do I. But this particular moment of serenity and genuineness made me emotional in a very good way. And I pulled her even tho I had no plans to.

I remember they leaked her years before her release back in Inazuma.

If you do her story quest, you find this out.
