Background / History

Durandal is publicly known as Bianca Durandal Atagina, but Otto reveals that she is actually Kiana Kaslana. Her connection to Cecilia Schariac manifests before either woman openly understands it: Durandal feels an intense familiarity upon meeting Cecilia and directly asks whether they share a blood relationship. 9 10 31

Cecilia later recognizes Durandal as her child, while Durandal continues seeking answers about her own past. Their reunion is marked by a strong mutual longing for closeness, culminating in Cecilia embracing her during Durandal’s birthday celebration. 33 34 37

Appearance

Durandal is a young woman with golden, wavy hair, blue eyes, and a distinctive ahoge. Her appearance combines youthful valor with the poise expected of a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie. 40 48 49

• Wore a refined black, form-fitting tailcoat while instructing Valkyries at the S-rank celebration ball. 48

Personality

Durandal is earnest, direct, and intensely driven by her goal of expelling Honkai from the world. She considers an unrealistic dream worth pursuing precisely because it demands effort, and she responds to setbacks by resolving to train harder. 36 41

Despite her professional composure, she becomes visibly vulnerable around Cecilia. Her desire to understand her past and receive Cecilia’s affection makes her feel unusually childish and awkward, contrasting with her normally disciplined demeanor. 34 35

She is also considerate toward fellow Valkyries. During the S-rank ball, she patiently corrects others’ dancing posture and reassures them while taking the lead. 48
