Background / History
March 7th travels with the Star Rail Express. During the Doomsday Beast crisis at Herta Space Station, she and Dan Heng are exhausted while defending against the beast's storm before Yan Huan takes the vanguard 7. After Yan Huan defeats the Doomsday Beast at Herta Space Station, she suggests inviting him onto the Express, though she remains wary of his particular interest in her 8.
While investigating the Water Specter at the station, she works alongside Yan Huan despite complaining about being made to return to work after breakfast 14. She later loses Yan Huan in the crowd and discovers a clone, Shui Xiao, impersonating her. March confronts the impostor and attempts to convince Yan Huan of the deception 15. She ultimately exposes the impostor by revealing Shui Xiao's water-like characteristics before the assembled station personnel 16.
On the Xianzhou Luofu, March is asked to infiltrate a group seeking the Elixir of Immortality by posing as someone mentally unstable. Reluctant to take the dangerous assignment herself, she proposes Yan Huan instead 266. She subsequently investigates the Medicine Master's Legacy, notices signs of Mara among the Cloud Knights, and independently gathers information on the organization’s infiltration 292 293.
A later investigation through the Grand Void Array intensifies March's uncertainty about her origins. She is informed that her memories have been tampered with, is confronted by conflicting fabricated accounts of her past, and is shown an image of herself sealed in Six Forms Ice 558 560. The Memory Keeper urges her not to pursue the past further, warning that doing so would harm her and her companions 560 561.
During the Penacony conflict, March joins Himeko, Yan Huan, Firefly, and the Clock Kid in confronting Sunday over Penacony’s future and the Stellaron 750.
On Amphoreus, March's condition becomes abnormal enough that she requires nourishment from the Key of the Gods to act normally 1491. Her hidden connection to the world is later revealed: an automated facility once transmitted her body as data into a simulation, leaving her outside Amphoreus's Remembrance while the Overseers repeatedly altered time 1749. Evernight used Oblivion to erase failed attempts, protect Yan Huan and Dan Heng from Memory Thieves, and preserve the possibility of breaking the blockade 1749.
When Laigushi's projections close in, March accepts the risk of losing her current personality and identity in order to regain sufficient power to protect her companions. Evernight freezes the surrounding area and merges with her, releasing dark-red power across Amphoreus 1726. In the aftermath of Amphoreus's New World, March reunites with Himeko and reveals that the Nameless who entered the world have become Titans within it 1766.
Personality
March is outspoken, proud, and quick to challenge perceived unfairness. She intervenes when Company employees intimidate Eric, refuses to be sidelined in the Martial Arts Ceremony, and insists that her own techniques are a genuine source of strength 398 961.
She is compassionate in emergencies, helping an injured Cloud Knight and prioritizing Yunli’s safety when Hulei takes Yunli hostage 292 939. At the same time, she is impatient with prolonged inactivity and strongly dislikes feeling underestimated, driving her to seek opportunities to prove herself 867 1244.
March retains a strong protective streak toward her companions. She intervenes when a café clerk flirts with Yan Huan, warns him away from the Happiness Smile Research Society, and remains alert to the dangers hidden behind Two-Phase Paradise's cheerful appearance 1939.
Her enthusiasm is easily captured by unfamiliar experiences. She is fascinated by Artworld Academy and the prospect of living an ordinary student life, reflecting a desire to experience a youth she never had the chance to live normally 1955. Despite her excitement about reclaiming her past power, she can become solemn and fearful when faced with the possibility that recovering her memories may erase the present March 7th 1726.
