The Unknown God sends them and their twin to Teyvat when they were both imprisoned and their powers sealed. Due to this, the Traveler is keen on finding their missing sibling. However, they do not remember too much about the past after being sealed away for an unknown amount of years. After finding their twin, now affilated with the Abyss Order, in the "We Will be Reunited" Archon Quest, their main goal changes to wanting to get help from the Seven Archons of Teyvat. Occasionally, the Traveler calls Paimon "emergency food" much to her frustration.
The Traveler has befriended and became great allies to many people in Teyvat, including the Archons of each nation. While the Traveler was uninterested in Teyvat's problems, they are also shown to be a compassionate, selfless person. They are highly wary of the Abyss Order and the Fatui, being a major enemy of both organizations.
