Skirk is a mysterious woman who we know little about, with most information on her coming from Childe’s voicelines and lore. In this video, I go over what we know about her, as well as some secrets that she could be hiding.

what if skirk is a part of hexenzirkel or other speculation she is a mother of diluc (diluc mother never appear in game and manga or mention)
Still good keep it up! 👍👍
Thanks for this video. I also desperately want to know more about her. I also think it's kinda funny you think she could be connected to the Hexenzirkel as Ashikai also came to that conclusion, connecting her name to Circe. I think that would be fun to have play out but we must wait and see.
i want her to be playable so bad, nice video bro
I am pleasantly surprised, this is a lot more substantial than i expected and has brought an interesting new hypothesis to my attention. Thought you would lean more heavily on the hexenzirkle theory.
I remember islandXD dwelling on that hypothesis quite a bit in his theory Thursday streams during 3.5 windblume, the main thing is being that she's an extremely powerful and mysterious grey area woman just like the rest of the witches. Iirc the possibility of skirk being a former member who was kicked out due to her studies of the abyss was also discussed because we know of 6 witches, but there were 7 seats around the tea party table, and 8 depictions of witches at the start of the cinematic cutscene.
There's a lot ways you can take this one to atm with how little concrete sources we have on her.
I know one thing. I'm wishing on her banner if she becomes playable. 🎉❤
Oh god an abyss herald 😢 that's something genshin definitely will do 😂
Point: we know that there was a Khaenri'ahn Darshan of the Akademiya before and during the Cataclysm.
Skirk has got to be one of my fav characters, its a shame we havnt seen her yet,great vid
Top tier video as always. Skirk is one of my hyoed characters besides Varka and Alice that we have yet to see!
I hope if Childe gets a 2nd story quest it'll be a flashback arc where we see Childe fall into the Abyss and train under Skirk.
Skirk in my mind would look like Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria but I imagine her personality would be similar to Ozen The Immovable from Made In Abyss where she comes off as cold, aloof and deranged but in her own twisted way she cares for Childe (Ajax) as her student.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.😂😂😂
👍👍👍👍
It could still be possible that she’s an Abyss Herald. Because of Enjou, we at the very least know that the Lectors are able to transform into human forms. Who’s to say that the Heralds couldn’t too.
I feel like skirk is more likely to be a playable character than a boss. I mean, I guess she could be both, but still.
Could it be possible that Ajax was staged to fall into the abyss?
I fell like childes attacks are more like the black serpent knights
Kaeya was the first we saw with childes skill
What if she's from enkonomya and saved ajax cuz kinship what if she thinks he was from enka too cuz ajax that's why she saved and didn't kill him
Personally I'm really hoping that she's the vice-director, for reasons involving a certain scythe-wielding Estonian girl with dual personalities.
Maybe she’s one of mondstadts captains 👻
I will say on your point about only archons getting bosses with their second story quests: its hard to say because only archons have act two quests at the moment. Yoimiya is going to be our first non archon to get an act two. Also amusingly enough she does require part of a world quest for her quest!
So who knows what will be the standard by the time we get to Snezhnaya, but the idea of something with Childe and revisiting the part of the Abyss he fell into as a child is a very fun idea.
I think that shes a Seelie
The "Heeeello everyone" intro is missing.
