Background and History
Hua fought Honkai alongside the Flame-Chasers in the Previous Era. Soon after she joined Fire Moth, a squad captain named Himiko helped her; Hua later wished she could prevent Himiko from becoming a Herrscher 19 22. Hua survived into the present era and spent five thousand years protecting Shenzhou. The long passage of time and the loss of people she knew weighed on her 17 50.
As Immortal Crimson Bird, she fought the Herrscher of the Void during the Second Honkai War. After a later battle on Sky Peak left her severely injured and unable to protect Shenzhou as before, she accepted Otto Apocalypse’s offer of Schicksal’s help. At his request, she became an A-rank Valkyrie and enrolled at St. Freya Academy to monitor Kiana 16 19 20.
Hua initially concealed her identity from her classmates and former comrades. A quiz exposed her assignment from Otto, and its Memory Restoration Capsule began restoring memories she had lost through using Feather. She then recognized Elysia, Pardofelis and Eden after fifty thousand years apart 18 19. When the System exposed Kiana’s connection to the Herrscher of the Void, Hua confirmed what she had been reluctant to tell her 20.

Feather and Memory

Identity in the Exposed Footage
Footage appears to show Hua, after Otto’s attack, devastating Schicksal headquarters, defeating Durandal and fighting Kevin. The group initially attributes these acts to a changed or “blackened” Hua 38 39. A newly born Herrscher later says she emerged from Hua’s body with Hua’s memories and carried out those attacks. The group consequently realizes that the rampaging figure was not Hua herself 42 43.
