Background

Sparkle was created as an artificial human using Bai Sheng’s genes. She initially joined the Stellaron Hunters and called Bai Sheng “Little Uncle,” while Kafka took on a maternal role in her life. Bai Sheng consented to the plan for Sparkle to receive his blood and treated her as another relative. 69 70

To become a Stellar Core vessel, Sparkle underwent a dangerous consciousness-transfer process supported by Bai Sheng’s Spirit Puppet. Kafka and Silver Wolf then installed the Stellar Core into Sparkle’s new body at Herta Space Station. Sparkle remembered Kafka upon awakening but could not recall Bai Sheng, Huohuo, or her former life; Kafka temporarily hypnotized her with a Word Charm Technique. 70 71

Following the Anti-Matter Legion’s assault, Sparkle fought alongside Bai Sheng, Huohuo, Dan Heng, and March 7th despite her amnesia. Her instinctive talent with a baseball bat quickly became apparent. After the Doomsday Beast battle, she chose to leave Herta Space Station and join the Star Rail as a Nameless. 73 76 84

Appearance

Sparkle is a girl a little over 1.6 meters tall with grey hair. 70 391

Personality

Sparkle is lively, dramatic, impulsive, and intensely fond of heroic poses and theatrical declarations. She calls herself the “Galaxy Bat Hero,” eagerly charges into danger with her bat, and treats even recoveries from serious injuries with exaggerated enthusiasm. 76 93 284

Underneath her antics, she is compassionate and courageous. She shields March 7th from the Doomsday Beast’s surprise attack, intervenes to protect Firefly from the Family’s Hounds, and is willing to face Death to find Firefly after learning she may be in danger. 76 284 302

Sparkle becomes more cautious during the Penacony incident after Sampo, Black Swan, and Aventurine each draw her into their own schemes. Even so, she retains faith in Firefly and ultimately chooses to seek answers directly rather than let suspicion decide for her. 287 301 302
