- — Neuvillette speaking to Furina as she tried to walk away during Lyney's trial.
- “Ugh! What, are you reading my mind now!?”
- — Furina's response to Neuvillette during Lyney's trial.
- “Speaking of the prophecy, Furina has also always taken it quite seriously. Indeed, she has been collecting information and intelligence from across Teyvat for this purpose.”

- “Now, the curtain has finally fallen on her "performance"... The character she portrayed was an imaginary one, yet in playing that role she fulfilled her duties... Though she is meek and full of doubt by nature, she was able to use madness to stiffen her resolve and see her duty through to its conclusion. The work that she has done over the centuries is truly immense. If she were to ever make a return to the stage, I should personally attend the performance and give her my heartfelt applause... Yes, I must do so when the opportunity arises.”
- — Neuvillette, About Furina voice line.
- “I'm very grateful to Neuvillette for all the hard work he's done for Fontaine in the past few centuries. It seems he doesn't intend to investigate my crimes of deceiving the people. Anyway, we're no longer working in tandem, and it's been a long time since I've been to the Palais Mermonia. I imagine that this is good for both of us, right?”
- — Furina, About Neuvillette voice line.
- “Fontaine's opera house has seen several reforms, and with each reform, opposition was to be expected. As I remember, crowds would often gather in the opera house making a ruckus... That one time, it became so loud my ears were ringing. I frightened them by stating, "I forbid anyone from discussing such pointless matters!", I clearly remember Neuvillette tapping his cane on the ground at that precise moment while the whole place immediately fell silent. Sometimes I can't help but inadvertently show my intimidating side... I hope my people understands.”
- — Furina, Something to Share: Opera voice line. [sic]
Story Quests[]
❝
- You will see much
In the human world
From the delightful to the depressing...
And one day, when you have dwelt among humanity long enough
You will be placed to bring judgment over all
As the spokesperson for Fontaine's past. - —Furina's voice playing in Neuvillette's mind as he recalls words she addressed to him before; Neuvillette Story Quest - The Remains of the Past Day.
- “'Personal reasons'? Oh me, oh my, has our Chief Justice finally come to his senses?
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times—You should follow my example and go out more often. You need to get to know your people better!
Even if something unfortunate happens, you'll still run into lots of unique characters along the way.
What do you think? The human world isn't too bad, now is it?” - — Furina's reply to Neuvillette's note of absence; Neuvillette Story Quest - The Remains of the Past Day.
- “Come on. We'll need to get the go-ahead from Neuvillette—I know just where to find him.”
- — Furina, as the troupe needed to find Neuvillette to book the opera house for the performance; Furina Story Quest - The Little Oceanid.

Paimon: You were just guessing!?” - — Furina accurately pinpointing Neuvillette's location solely based on her knowledge of his habits, followed by Paimon's shocked reaction; Furina Story Quest - The Little Oceanid.
- “I knew you'd be here.”
- — Furina as she approached Neuvillette after finding him; Furina Story Quest - The Little Oceanid.
- “Neuvillette: I will say, however, that I am surprised to see your passion for the performing arts rekindled after all that has happened.
Furina: Huh? What do you mean? ... Do I look excited?
Neuvillette: Yes. And this is the first time I've seen you like this since your departure from deityhood.
Furina: At first, I just felt bad about rejecting them, so I wanted to learn a little bit more about their situation. But one thing led to another, and... Well, here we are.
Furina: In the past, we sat in our high chairs in the court, giving our opinions on isolated cases, all the while knowing very little about the human stories behind each and every one.
Furina: Maybe it's because I've finally become an ordinary person, and gained my freedom, that I've developed a great sense of curiosity about their lives.
Neuvillette: I am truly delighted to see you find a new lease on life.” - — Neuvillette and Furina during the conversation; Furina Story Quest - The Little Oceanid.
- “The experiences and decisions of the protagonist, Clio, are all modeled after your own. Naturally, this makes you eminently suited to playing the leading role.
It would truly be a shame if you did not take this opportunity to allow audiences to enjoy your outstanding acting talents once more.” - — Neuvillette's assessment on Furina's parallels with the protagonist of The Little Oceanid; Furina Story Quest - The Little Oceanid.
- “Many people were once enthralled by Lady Furina's performances, myself included. I hope that one day, she'll be able to understand that our appreciation was always sincere.”
- — Neuvillette's thoughts on Furina after she left; Furina Story Quest - The Little Oceanid.
- “Maybe Neuvillette was right... Maybe "Clio" is the right role for me.”
- — Furina after her return to the stage at the end of her Story Quest.
Other Events[]
- “... What? That's all!? If Neuvillette were to hear of this, he could charge you with underpaying your labor!”
- — Furina reacting to the pay Xavier offered her in Roses and Muskets.
- “All in all, he was only here for half a day. I'm pretty sure he's the only one who would consider that to be a vacation...”
- — Furina's comment on Neuvillette's short stay in Liyue; Lantern Rite 2024 - Hustle and Bustle.
- “Oh, that reminds me. If you get the chance, you should try and talk Neuvillette into loosening up a bit.
Just tell him the Palais Mermonia isn't going to fall apart if he disappears for a few days. He shouldn't keep himself cooped up all the time.
Even clams open their shells to let in fresh water every once in a while, right?
If he's really that much of a stickler for protocol, he can fill out a leave of absence request. He'd have to approve it himself since he handles that sort of thing now, but you know what I mean.” - — Furina's request to Paimon and the Traveler, as she shows concern over how Neuvillette handled his vacation; Lantern Rite 2024 - Hustle and Bustle.
- “Hmmm, approve a leave of absence request for myself...
That sounds like it could easily lead to a vicious cycle of self-indulgence, something which couldn't be in further violation of protocol.
But... I suppose I understand her point.
My proclivity to refrain from personal outings does, in part, originate from a sense of responsibility toward my duties. But it is also due to a lack of desire to engage in the human world.
But now I see that the human world is indeed full of many interesting places to discover.” - — Neuvillette's reaction to Furina's advice for his vacation; Lantern Rite 2024 - Hustle and Bustle.
