Background

In a snowfield recollection, Durandal begins as an unnamed test subject designated K1207. Otto places her among nearly one hundred similar girls and forces them to survive repeated Honkai Beast attacks. She adapts her fighting style after being overpowered in her first battle, trains in secret, and ultimately becomes the sole survivor. 242

Rita later gives her the name Bianca, after Durandal says that she likes white hair. Following Rita’s loss in this recollection, Durandal awakens an unnamed new power and conceals it from Otto. Otto subsequently grants her access to a mysterious trial ground, where she learns more of the truth behind the Honkai and develops her personal path toward saving the world. 242

She initially serves Schicksal with absolute discipline and trust in Otto’s mission. Her encounters with Shi Hen, operating under identities such as Welt Yang and Bai, steadily expose contradictions in Otto’s actions and force her to question both Schicksal and her own origins. 204 291

Appearance

Durandal is a blonde Valkyrie with clear blue eyes and a heroic, disciplined bearing. Her standard combat attire emphasizes mobility and protection while retaining a predominantly white color scheme. 14

• Golden hair usually tied in a neat high ponytail. 14
• Blue eyes. 134
• Originally wears a white-toned, lightweight third-generation Valkyrie battlesuit. 14
• Uses the cyan-and-blue Moonfire Phoenix armor in high-intensity combat. 151 181

Personality

Durandal is direct, intensely self-disciplined, and defined by an uncompromising desire to become strong enough to save others. Even during leave, she considers more than eight hours in a training room sufficient rest. 215 She treats combat as both duty and communication, seeking formidable opponents rather than shrinking from them. 134 540

Her sense of justice remains central even when she recognizes that her actions have supported harmful plans. She refuses to excuse herself with fate or necessity, accepts responsibility for difficult choices, and is willing to give everything she has to protect others. 272 404

Despite her formal demeanor, Durandal is compassionate toward injured allies and civilians. She exhausts herself reviving Raiden Mei, comforts Anna after the loss of Anna’s squad, and becomes openly protective of Kiana after learning their connection. 136 239 404

Abilities & Skills

Valkyrie Combat and Kaslana Gun-Fu

Durandal is an elite close-quarters fighter whose physical power and Honkai Energy reinforcement place her among the setting’s most dangerous Valkyries.

• Particularly proficient with hand-to-hand combat; she puts away her dual pistols to engage Shi Hen in a fistfight. 15
• Mastered Kaslana Gun-Fu through a year of training; its techniques require precise internal manipulation of Honkai Energy. 15
• Can alter her attacks mid-motion, such as converting a punch into a grappling throw that uses an opponent’s momentum. 16
• Her raw physical strength exceeds Shi Hen’s even when he can match or surpass her in Honkai Energy control. 133
• Can shatter Soul Steel weapons with a serious punch. 272

Moonfire Phoenix Armor

A high-output Valkyrie armor that grants Durandal aerial mobility, defensive constructs, and combat support.

• Fires high-energy particles from its thrusters, allowing her to cross hundreds of meters in an instant. 151
• Its thrusters can propel her like a blue meteor. 181
• Can create two phantom spirits: QUEEN, equipped with a shield, and KING, wielding a greatsword. 134
• QUEEN’s shield can withstand the full force of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, though stronger attacks can break it. 134
• Armor functions can be damaged by attacks exceeding its defensive limits. 135

Black Abyss White Flower

Durandal’s primary Divine Key is a white lance that wields the Herrscher of Death’s powers of creation and annihilation.

• Releases black mist that attacks, restrains, or forms defensive vines and barriers. 134 372
• First Rated Power — Holy Spear Blossom: unleashes the lance’s full creation-and-annihilation power as a massive beam of chaotic white light. 135
• Zero Power: can restore a person from the brink of death, regrowing flesh and bone if life remains. 136
• Durandal uses its restorative power to save Raiden Mei despite being nearly exhausted from battle. 136
• Its immense power imposes a severe stamina cost on the wielder. 134 136

Heavenly Origin

After mastering both sides of her heritage, Durandal reaches Heavenly Origin and gains a far greater level of stable power.

• Manifests the Kaslana side of her power as black armor before suppressing it with white armor born from her Schariac heritage. 292
• Completely harmonizes the two bloodlines rather than being controlled by their destructive impulses. 292
• In this state, her pure strength is sufficient to overwhelm Otto despite his Soul Steel body and Void Archive enhancements. 450
• Continues training to draw out more of Heavenly Origin’s potential. 302

Holy Sword Durandal and Starchasm Nyx

Durandal bears responsibility for a world bubble once anchored within her body and carries the holy sword of the same name.

• Adopted “Durandal” as her name to remind herself of the responsibility of carrying a world’s fate. 293
• Uses the holy sword to manifest golden armor and declares that she herself is the weapon. 334
• After the world bubble is reconnected to the Imaginary Tree, the sword’s protection of Starchasm Nyx can be shared with others. 322
• Wears Starchasm Nyx armor during later battles against Shi Hen. 284 403

Herrscher of Origin

Durandal becomes the Herrscher of Origin after being led to understand Origin through Elysia.

• Origin represents one’s true self, convictions, and the transmission of belief. 517 519
• Her new perception lets her discern that Welt Yang’s supposed control through the plum blossom mark had been a deception. 517
• Stabilizes the balance between imaginary and quantum power that had previously required active maintenance. 522
• Fights alongside Raiden Mei with golden starlight empowered by Origin. 522

Equipment

• Black Abyss White Flower — Divine Key lance of creation, annihilation, and restoration. 134 136
