Similar to Xiao, Kamisato Ayaka was playable during one of Genshin Impact's closed beta tests. She is confirmed as a 5 Star Cryo Sword user with a very obvious Inazuma desgin.

Kamisatao Ayaka was even listed as a character on the Official Genshin Impact Website's Mondstat page, but was later removed.

Baizhu

Baizhu
	Rarity: Weapon: Element:

The owner of the Bubu Pharmacy and Qiqi's boss, Dr. Baizhu, is the only confirmed Dendro Vision user in the game and makes his first appearance early on in the Liyue chapter. Baizhu is also mentioned in character thoughts where playable characters are typically mentioned. With the Liyue chapter seeming to continue through 1.3 Baizhu could see a release in update 1.4.

Yaoyao

Yaoyao
	Rarity: Weapon: Element:

Officially, there is no information on Yaoyao except from character thoughts. Similar to Baizhu however, being mentioned in character thoughts means there is a high chance she will be a playable character. We can gather that Yaoyao was once under Xiangling at the Wanmin restaurant and currently works under Ganyu meaning she has some importance in Liyue. With the Liyue chapter seeming to continue through 1.3 Yaoyao could see a release in update 1.4.
