Honkai: Star Rail Characters
Himeko
An adventurous scientist who encountered the Astral Express as a young girl when it got stranded in her home world.
Years later, Himeko finally repaired the train and began her journey to the stars, but she realized that this was only the beginning.
On her trailblazing journey, she would need many more companions…
And while they may have different destinations, they all gaze at the same starry sky.
Welt
The wise and experienced former Anti-Entropy Sovereign who inherits the name of the world – Welt.
He has saved Earth from annihilation time and time again.
After the incident with St. Fountain came to a close, Welt had no choice but to venture with the initiator of the incident to the other side of the portal.
Perhaps even he did not expect the new journey nor companions that awaited him there.
Dan Heng
A cold and reserved young man who wields a spear known as Cloud-Piercer.
He acts as the Express’ guard on its long trailblazing expedition.
Dan Heng never talks much about his past.
In fact, he joined the Express Crew to escape from it.
But can the Express really help him outrun his past?
March 7th
A spirited, quirky young girl who is into all the things girls her age should be interested in, for example, taking photos.
She was awakened from a piece of drifting eternal ice only to find out that she knows nothing about herself or her past.
While initially in low spirits due to her lack of identity, she decided to name herself after the date she came into this new life.
And thus, on that day, March 7th was born.
Kafka
On the Interastral Peace Corporation’s wanted list, Kafka’s entry only has two things – her name, and a single sentence:
“Likes collecting coats”.
Little is known about this Stellaron Hunter, other than that she is one of Destiny’s Slave Elio’s most trusted members.
In order to achieve Elio’s envisioned future, Kafka gets to work.
Silver Wolf
The universe is just another game to this super hacker.
No matter how thorny the defense system, Silver Wolf can crack it with ease.
Her hacking battle with Screwllum of the Genius Society has become stuff of legends in the hacking world.
How many more levels are there to beat in the universe?
Silver Wolf looks forward to finding out.

He pledged loyalty to Destiny’s Slave and possessed a terrifying self-healing ability.
Blade wields an ancient sword riddled with cracks, just like his body and his mind.
Arlan
The inarticulate head of Herta Space Station’s Security Department.
While scientific research is beyond his understanding, Arlan is willing to risk his life to protect the staff who value research so very much.
He is used to the pain and wears his scars like badges of honor.
Only when holding Peppy does the boy finally let down his guard and show a rare smile.
Asta
A fiercely inquisitive and energetic young girl, she is the Lead Researcher of Herta Space Station.
Whether it is managing opinionated staff, or courteously but firmly responding to the Intelligentsia Guild, Asta handles it all effortlessly.
After all… commanding a space station is much easier than taking over her family business!
Herta
Herta Space Station’s true master.
As the human with the highest IQ on The Blue, she only does what she’s interested in, dropping whatever project immediately the moment she loses interest – the best example being the space station.
She typically appears in the form of a remote-controlled puppet.
“It’s about seventy percent similar to how I looked as a child.” – Herta
Gepard
The honorable and upstanding captain of the Silvermane Guards who bears the noble Landau family name.
In the frost-whipped city of Belobog, life can still go on in normality…

Heir to the Supreme Guardian of Belobog, she is the young and capable commander of the Silvermane Guards.
Bronya received rigorous education from an early age, and possesses the grace and affinity as expected of an heir.

“Can all the training I’ve received really help me lead the people to the lives they want?”
Seele
A spirited and valiant member of Wildfire who grew up in the perilous Underworld of Belobog.
She is accustomed to being on her own.
The protectors and the protected, the oppressors and the oppressed…
The world Seele grew up knowing was just a simple dichotomy…
That is, until “that girl” appeared.
Clara
A young girl raised by a robot, her perceptiveness and tenacity are far beyond her years.
For Clara, Svarog’s logical calculations are law and infallible.
That is, until she realized that the results from “calculations” don’t always necessarily bring joy to everyone.
The once shy little girl then decided to cast aside her timidness.
Sampo
A silver-tongued salesman.
Where there is profit to be made, you can be sure Sampo is nearby.
Sampo’s unique knowledge makes it hard not to approach him for help, but becoming his “customer” is not necessarily a good thing.
After all, “customers” can quickly turn into “commodities” for the right price.
Pela
The meticulous Intelligence Officer of the Silvermane Guards. While young, she is undeniably brilliant.
Whether it relates to maneuvering troops, distributing supplies, or the terrain, Pela can answer any problems with calm certainty.
As for her phone case…

And should anyone ask her about the workshop’s profitability…
“This is just a hobby, dear. I’m not short of money.”
Natasha

“Hi, Auntie Natasha.”

Head of the adventure squad The Moles, she calls herself Pitch- Dark Hook the Great.
She doesn’t like to be called a “kid” and believes she can handle things herself without any help from adults.

Under the leadership of Hook, children can also have their own adventures!
Lynx
The youngest daughter of the Landau family, and one of Belobog’s best extreme environments explorers.

From the fight cage to the battlefield and from a fighter to a warrior, Luka uses his strength to protect the people of the Underworld.
He wishes to bring hope to others precisely because he had experienced despair himself.
Jing Yuan
Although his appearance may be one of indolence, the Cloud Knight general who commands the Xianzhou Luofu is more meticulous than seemingly meets the eye.
He does not consider saving a situation from the brink of disaster to be a show of wisdom, and is thus fastidious with routine affairs to avoid any potential problems.

Yanqing
The spirited lieutenant of the Xianzhou Luofu, and also its most proficient swordsman.

An average Diviner of the Divination Commission, who will never slack off when it comes to slacking off.

After several years of experience, Qingque had finally honed her craft No matter which department she changes to, she remains the lowest level of Diviners.

Huohuo
While this Foxian girl may seem fragile and weak, she is actually a judge-in-training of the Ten-Lords Commission, responsible for capturing evil.

Jingliu
