March 7th

Biodata

Background / History

Discovery and Amnesia

Himeko found March 7th enclosed in a block of Six-Phased Ice. As Himeko prepared to take her aboard the Astral Express for investigation, the substance shattered on its own. An outfit and camera appeared with March—the same ones she continued using afterward 93.

March has no memories of her earlier identity or family. She believes someone deliberately gave her the outfit, pointing to its embroidered pink crystal flower as evidence that it did not simply form by itself. When she feels lonely at night, unfamiliar music sounds in her heart and comforts her 88 93 98.

Connection to Lingchen

Although March first knowingly meets Lingchen at Herta Space Station, she later feels as though he has always been beside her. She associates this familiarity with a figure who gave her her earliest sense of security 118 124.

Lingchen suggests that his future self may have traveled into the past. March and Stelle discuss whether memories of such encounters might remain inaccessible until he makes that journey. The narration identifies Lingchen’s power within March’s clothes, but March has not recovered memories explaining their shared past 124 138.

Her desire to uncover her origins is conflicted: she wants both her memories and greater strength, yet fears that discovering the past could destroy the life she has gained in the present 153.

Appearance

• Pink hair and an innocent, guileless expression 87 171.
• Slender waist, visible when she stretches aboard the Express 93.
• Distinctive outfit with a pink crystal flower embroidered on its cuff; it appeared when her Six-Phased Ice enclosure broke 93.
• Camera that appeared alongside her outfit and remains her regular photography equipment 93.

Personality

March is lively, talkative, and quick to make friends. She and Stelle declare themselves best friends shortly after meeting, and March enthusiastically welcomes her aboard the Express. Her excitement often alternates with alarm: on Jarilo-VI, she shifts from worrying about powerful enemies to confidently describing their group as a game-like “Starter Trio” 87 89 92 94.

Her compassion frequently draws her toward people in distress. She considers borrowing money from Himeko to help Underworld residents, worries about the futures of Hook and her friends, and questions whether Lingchen’s treatment of the people transformed into Dolls was cruel. She nevertheless accepts Dan Heng’s warning that poorly considered aid could entangle them in local political struggles 98 100 119.

March is trusting and sometimes forgetful, but not incapable of judgment. She notices that Joyce may have a hidden objective and recognizes when Dan Heng is testing a suspicion. During the station attack, she also sets aside questions about her amnesia because fighting the Antimatter Legion takes priority 88 89 100 102.

She speaks bluntly and openly dislikes Kafka, yet refuses to let that dislike determine whether the crew helps the Luofu. Her missing memories are a particular vulnerability: a Doll’s ridicule leaves her dejected, while reassurance from her companions helps her focus on the memories they can still create together 111 112 126 130.

Abilities & Skills

Archery

March is described as the Astral Express’s chief archer, with arrows that strike wherever she aims 88.

• Uses a bow together with Six-Phased Ice 89.
• Provides covering fire to slow enemies and support her companions’ attacks 113.
• Briefly delays the Hand of the Rabble’s regeneration, allowing Stelle to follow up with a decisive strike 113.
• Turns Six-Phased Ice into a rain of arrows to slow Phantylia’s attacks 154.
• Identifies herself as a support fighter when Stelle jokes that her accurate shots only “tickle” enemies 89.

Six-Phased Ice

A colorful substance March can summon and dismiss. Despite its name and appearance, she explicitly states that it is not actually ice 93.

• Appears automatically when she is about to fall; March believes it also protected her before Himeko found her 93.
• Can be shaped and applied to other surfaces, including an existing shield 93 115.
• Has a connection to Remembrance, recognized by Lingchen during the station battle and later stated directly 89 171.
• Can be stolen or reproduced through hostile abilities: the Domination Theater’s Dolls use it after draining her power 111.
• Cannot reliably reinforce a defense against Emanator-level force; the Beast of Finality’s Malice strips it from a shield through its attack shock waves 115.

Trailblaze

March gradually steps onto Trailblaze after beginning her journey with the Express, while retaining her own other power 104.

• Gains improved adaptability to environmental conditions, including Jarilo-VI’s cold 94 104.
• Has not progressed far enough to fly when Stelle proposes going over the Mechanical Settlement’s gate 104.
• Usually has less need for its environmental protection because her outfit provides stronger protection 104.

Durability

March is physically tougher than her lighthearted demeanor suggests. The narration describes her and Stelle surviving a Hyperspace storm that blew them 0.4 light-seconds away and left them drifting for five hours 105.

• Is later ranked among the outstanding Pathstriders 130.
• Remains vulnerable to power-draining enemies and overwhelming attacks from higher-tier opponents 111 114.
• Believes her outfit could withstand an Emanator-level attack, but this is her assessment rather than a demonstrated feat in that encounter 115.

Photography and Investigation

• Regularly takes photographs, including pictures of Lingchen’s transformed appearance after Yaoshi’s blessing 93 156.
• Independently gathers information from children, miners, Joyce, and Natasha during the Underworld investigation 99 100.
• Takes paid assignments seriously enough that photography temporarily becomes secondary during Belobog’s recovery 125.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Bow — Her primary weapon, used for accurate shots and Six-Phased Ice attacks 88 89.
• Protective outfit — Appeared when her enclosure shattered. Provides strong defense, temperature regulation, self-cleaning, and supplementary energy when her reserves run low. Its embroidered pink crystal flower is a clue to her unknown benefactor 93.
• Camera — Appeared with the outfit and remains her usual camera 93.
• Phone — Used to coordinate investigations and communicate with her companions. On Jarilo-VI, local messages work even when contact with the Express fails 95 103.
• Jade pendant from Lingchen — Given before his investigation of the Solar System’s distorted time. Her connection to Remembrance helps strengthen his temporal senses, and the pendant lets him return to her side 171.
• Five million Credits — A gift from Lingchen in Aurum Alley, accepted with flushed cheeks 168.

Relationships

• Stelle — Best friend and fellow amnesiac. March helps her adjust to the Express and often has to explain her eccentric behavior to others. Stelle repeatedly protects March in battle, including shielding her from the Beast of Finality’s Malice 88 89 92 114.
• Dan Heng — Trusted traveling companion whose caution balances her impulsiveness. March relies on his judgment, while he recognizes her ability to complete missions despite her guilelessness. She respects his decision about returning to the Luofu without pressing him about his past 98 99 126.
• Himeko — The person who found March in Six-Phased Ice and brought her into the Express’s life. Himeko also tactfully intervenes when March’s questions risk offending Herta 91 93.
• Welt Yang — Affectionately called “Uncle Yang.” March looks to him for protection and explanations about time travel, while also enjoying discoveries about his embarrassing past 90 116 118.
• Lingchen — A teasing acquaintance who becomes an emotional connection and possible link to her lost past. March develops romantic interest, blushes when imagining closeness with him, and openly proposes dates during their future Penacony visit. They are not explicitly established as a couple 89 118 124 171.
• Bronya Rand — Friend who defends March against the Dolls’ ridicule and assures her that they will remain friends in their future memories 111 112.
• Seele — Initially argues with March over the Underworld’s conditions, but later comforts her by suggesting that their adventures can serve as a new childhood 103 112.
• Kafka — March distrusts her and calls her an “awful woman,” but still supports responding to her warning about the Luofu 126 130.
• Welt Joyce — March sympathizes with his account of losing his parents and helps search for his mother’s belongings. His later apparent betrayal leaves her angry and disappointed; Joyce is a puppet created for Lingchen’s scheme 94 98 99 116.
