Second daughter: Bianca Atagina

Durandal was the captain of Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie squad, the Blade of the Immortals, and the current wielder of Black Abyss White Flower.

Durandal was Seigfried and Cecilia's biological daughter. As a child, she had stormed Schicksal headquarters alongside Seigfried to rescue her younger sister, "K423." Later, while covering K423 and Seigfried's escape, she unfortunately fell from a great height and injured her head, causing Kiana to lose her memories.

After losing her memories, Kiana was found by Ragna and sent to Schicksal's orphanage. There, Kiana chose a new name for herself—"Bianca Atagina."

At the age of twelve, Bianca, already a Valkyrie, entered the Sea of Quanta with her adjutant, Rita Rossweisse, embarking on an unknown adventure.

During that adventure, she gained companions, stories, the name "Durandal," and even contained a World Bubble within herself.

Today, Durandal was still active on the battlefield as Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie.

[Theresa: I never expected Durandal to be Seigfried's daughter. The two of them don't resemble each other in personality at all.]

[Durandal: I'm Lady Cecilia and Seigfried's daughter? Then that means Kiana is my younger sister!]

Durandal, who was training at Schicksal at the time, was extremely excited. She had always thought she had no family, yet now she not only knew who her parents were, but also learned that she had a younger sister.

The little-sister-loving instincts within Durandal had already begun to awaken. She now wanted to immediately go to St. Freya Academy and see her younger sister.

[Kiana: So that means you're my older sister? My older sister is actually Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie!]

[Durandal: That's right, little sister. Once I'm done with my work for the time being, I'll go to St. Freya Academy to see you.]

[Theresa: Durandal, you're actually coming over?]

[Durandal: Yes, Theresa. Uh, no, I should be calling you Auntie now too. Auntie, once I finish my training for the time being, I'll go to St. Freya Academy to see all of you.]

[Asta: Am I the only one who noticed "K423"?]

[Himeko: "K423" doesn't sound like a person's name. It sounds more like a designation.]

[Himeko: Kiana, I have a guess. You said that you were once kept inside a glass jar filled with green liquid, right?]

[Kiana: That's right, other Himeko.]

[Himeko: In that case, is it possible that you were once used as an experimental subject? That glass jar was actually a nutrient tank. If I'm not mistaken, you probably don't have any memories from your childhood, right?]

[Kiana: That's true. I only have memories from after I was eight.]

[Himeko: Then it all makes sense. If I'm not mistaken, your mother, Cecilia, should have given birth to two daughters. The younger daughter, you, Kiana, was secretly taken away for experiments, and your designation was "K423."]

[Kiana: But why did they choose me?]

[Nahida: Let me explain the rest. Based on the available information, the one most likely to have experimented on you was Schicksal's bishop, Otto Apocalypse. The reason was probably that he coveted Seigfried and Cecilia's power.]

[Nahida: From Sirin's information, we can see that the blood of Lady Cecilia's family had a restraining effect on Honkai Impact, while Mr. Seigfried likewise possessed immense power.]

[Nahida: Although Mr. Seigfried's power had not fully awakened when you were taken away, his family likely had records of using similar power in the past. As for Lady Cecilia's blood, there was no need to say more. Thus, you, who possessed the bloodline of both husband and wife, became a target.]

[Kiana: So that's how it was!]

[Tesla: That's right. It's exactly the sort of thing that blondie could do.]

[Nahida: Of course, these are all just my guesses. We'll have to wait for the next answer analysis to know the specifics.]

Third daughter: Kiana Kaslana

Kiana was a student of St. Freya Academy and a B-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Kiana was a clone created by Schicksal's bishop, Otto Apocalypse, using Sirin's and Durandal's genes in order to revive the Second Herrscher. Her designation was "K423."

Afterward, K423 was rescued by Seigfried, and the father and daughter lived together in a remote village.

Because Seigfried missed Cecilia and Durandal, he neglected K423. Until she was eleven years old, K423 had not even been given a name of her own.

It was not until she was eleven, when K423 voluntarily fought a Honkai Beast to prevent the injured Seigfried from continuing to fight, that Seigfried acknowledged K423. He gave her the name that had originally belonged to her older sister: "Kiana Kaslana."

After that, Seigfried seemed like a different person and began truly treating Kiana as his daughter. Until a year later, when Kiana accidentally awakened the Herrscher of the Void's power while fighting Honkai Beasts alongside Seigfried and went berserk out of control. To awaken Kiana's consciousness, Seigfried sacrificed one of his arms.

Later, Seigfried left Kiana. In order to find him, Kiana traveled alone from Europe to Senba Academy. There, she met Raiden Mei, and during the Third Great Honkai, she struggled to survive in Nagazora City with Mei and Bronya. Later, she was rescued by Himeko, an A-rank Valkyrie from St. Freya Academy, and brought to St. Freya Academy.

At St. Freya Academy, Kiana found her Auntie Theresa and made an agreement with her: once she became an A-rank Valkyrie, Theresa would tell her Seigfried's whereabouts. From then on, Kiana became a student of St. Freya Academy. Even now, she was still striving to become the strongest Valkyrie.

[Kiana: I'm... a clone...]
