#personal theory right now based on that baby oceanid world quest is that she budded off the original however that works

[ramblebrambleamble]

Who/what was Furina/Focalors before she became an Archon?

Venti was a wind sprite who got the job because no one else wanted it once Decarabian was dead. He might have been an important wind sprite, given some of the lore, but he wasn't a god.

Zhongli was already a god and got the job by virtue of being the last man standing once the Liyue part of the Archon War was over.

Ei is currently possessing her own puppet, but has been there in some form basically since the beginning and most people in Inazuma aren't aware that there was ever an Archon before her.

Nahida was created by her predecessor directly out of a twig and people are no longer aware that she is not the original Archon.

Now we have Furina. Fontaine is the first region where everyone knows that their Archon got replaced. Replaced how? It's heavily implied that every other god aside from the original Archons was killed in the Archon War and everything we've seen so far seems to bear this out. So where did Furina (and the next two Archons) come from?
