Background / History

Firefly was created as a Glamoth Iron Cavalry warrior during the Great Cosmic Calamity, serving as part of the force deployed against the Propagation Path. Genetic modification gave the Iron Cavalry exceptional physical capabilities, but also caused Entropy Syndrome: an irreversible chronic dissociation of the body. Despite this fate, Firefly and the other cavalry soldiers continued fighting. 2

Her profile identifies her as former Iron Cavalry warrior AR-26710 and a current Stellaron Hunter who wears the mechanical armor Sam. After the Trailblazer disappeared, she searched for him across the universe while piloting Sam. 1 2

Lu Jiang summons Firefly through the Star Rail Pioneer System. She mistakes him for the Trailblazer and is overjoyed to find him, while Lu Jiang chooses not to correct her immediately. When he asks her to travel with him after leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she agrees without hesitation. 1 2

Firefly later recalls the loneliness of surviving after her country’s fall and the deaths of her comrades. During a night beneath a shooting star, she tells Lu Jiang that he has always been the “shooting star” she pursued, then calls him by his actual name for the first time. 81

Appearance

Firefly is a tall, gentle-looking young woman whose outward softness contrasts with the resilience of an Iron Cavalry warrior. Her appearance is accompanied by a faint oak scent. 1 2

• Ash-white to silver hair, described as moonlight-like and falling naturally down her back. 1 139
• Blue-pink eyes and lively eyelashes. 139
• Wears a green miniskirt and a headband made from a torn banner fragment. 1
• Taller than most girls due to the Iron Cavalry’s engineered physique. 2
• In Sam form, manifests green fluorescent patterns, silver-white armor, a wing-like flame cloak, and blue-green flame swords. 5 60

Personality

Firefly is gentle, kind, cheerful, and energetic. She is particularly talkative among Lu Jiang’s companions, becomes excited by unfamiliar sights, and eagerly accepts tasks she finds meaningful, such as helping organize Robin’s banquet. 139 231

Her warmth does not diminish her resolve. Firefly endured life as an Iron Cavalry soldier despite Entropy Syndrome, and she consistently places herself between Lu Jiang and danger. She views staying beside him as more important than where they travel. 2 3

She is shy and easily flustered by intimacy with Lu Jiang, but can also become jealous and possessive when other women approach him. Her jealousy toward Sparkle, Qian Renxue, and later summoned girls reflects how seriously she values her relationship with him. 7 16 20 38 189
