Recent leaks have revealed new idle animations for the 4-star characters Yanfei, Sara, and Sayu. They were initially released into the game with a single animation meant for when they stand still for some time, and now they finally get an alternate pose.

The animations were posted on Twitter by the known leaker Lumie and were provided by Uncle Taiyaki, a Chinese leaker who probably got those animations from the beta tests.

New idle animations for Sayu, Yanfei and Sara

First, one to be revealed was Yanfei, Liyue’s finest legal advisor. We can finally see her holding her scale, a gift from her father, similar to how she does in her Burst animation.

The next was Kujou Sara, the loyal general of the Tenryou Commission. Now she also loses herself in thought while holding her fan. Curiously, now both of her idles show elements from her Elemental Burst, where she holds the fan while spreading her Tengu wings.

And lastly, we finally have a new idle for Sayu, the Shuumatsuban Ninja. In her new animation, she does some stretches, similar to Diona or Qiqi.

All of these new idle animations for Yanfei, Sara, and Sayu should be arriving during the 2.3 update, similar to how Chongyun or Fischl also received some extra animations after the game’s initial release.
