Rover

Biodata

Appearance

• Hair and eyes: Short black hair and golden eyes 100 101.
• Clothing: Wears a black Star Torch Academy uniform during the Royan Frostlands encounters 100 111.
• Bearing: Typically composed and aloof, with an unhurried gait that Lu Yan immediately recognizes from Wuthering Waves 100 117.

Personality

Rover is cautious, direct, and highly confident in her strength. She initially suspects Lu Yan of belonging to the Fractsidus, but relaxes after examining his Frequency and detecting no ill intent. Her willingness to shelter him rests partly on the certainty that she can easily overpower him 101.

Her bluntness can be painful. When Lu Yan disappears, she tells Little Aemeath that he has died, reasoning that exhausted Frequency means death on Solaris. She admits to having no experience caring for children, and her attempts at consolation initially make Aemeath more distressed 103 105 106.

Despite her reserved manner, Rover takes practical steps to care for others. She studies childhood psychological counseling, buys a console to comfort Aemeath during sleepless nights, and becomes noticeably gentler while teaching her. She also has a playful, self-satisfied streak: after praising Lu Yan’s talent, she privately enjoys the thought that complimenting her counterpart amounts to complimenting herself 107 112 113 114.

Abilities & Skills

Frequency Perception and Control

Rover can examine Frequency bodies and exert overwhelming pressure on them 101.

• Identifies Lu Yan’s body as pure Frequency through a sensory scan 101.
• Collects a strand of his golden Frequency and sends its data to Shorekeeper for analysis 104.
• Demonstrates pressure that makes Lu Yan feel she could collapse and disperse his Frequency body by closing one hand 101.
• Recognizes her own sword intent and Frequency resonance in Lu Yan’s copied technique 112.
• Her interpretation is not infallible: she mistakes Lu Yan’s complete disappearance for death 105 106.

Power of Time

Rover manifests golden light while using an explicitly identified power of time 102.

• Dries Little Aemeath’s soaked hair and clothing within seconds after the Jian Lake rescue 102.
• No broader limits or combat applications of this power are demonstrated in the supplied encounters.

Swordsmanship

Rover’s basic techniques combine precise movement with killing intent developed through extensive trials 112.

• Demonstrates thrusts, lifts, chops, and sweeps with a standard-issue broadblade 112.
• Teaches stance, grip, balance, and the use of the waist to drive a strike 112.
• Suppresses her strength to Lu Yan’s level during a training match, guides his responses, and ends the exchange with her blade beside his neck 113.
• Judges Lu Yan—not herself—to possess at least Calamity Class combat strength after their spar 113.

Physical Endurance

Rover’s body does not require rest at her level of strength 105.

• Sleeps to relax her mind rather than meet a physical need 105.
• Remains composed and unwinded after sparring with the exhausted Lu Yan 113.

Teaching and Caregiving

Rover provides Aemeath with both combat instruction and basic education 112 117.

• Teaches reading and written exercises, insisting that Aemeath show her working rather than only provide answers 117.
• Plans to arrange schooling, explaining that becoming stronger requires developing the mind as well as wielding a sword 117.
• Balances practice with recreation and ends outdoor training when the weather worsens 114.

Equipment & Items

• Pangu Terminal — Worn at her waist; used to retrieve clothing and training weapons, and to store her weapon afterward 107 113 114.
• Training weapons — Uses a standard-issue broadblade for demonstrations and supplies Lu Yan with an unsharpened training sword for their spar 112 113.
• Lodge workbench and communications terminal — Provides an encrypted connection to Shorekeeper and access to Tethys System analysis 104.
• Game console — Purchased during a visit to Star Torch Academy to distract and comfort Little Aemeath when she could not sleep 114.
• Psychological Counseling and Early Intervention for Children — The book Lu Yan notices her reading after his seven-day disappearance 107.

Story Role / Major Arcs

The Journey Seen Through the Game

Rover first serves as a point of comparison for Lu Yan’s insecurity. He describes her as someone capable of protecting Aemeath and fulfilling a world-saving mission, unlike his ordinary self 28.

When Aemeath asks to watch Solaris’s story from the beginning, she creates a new account, selects the female Rover, and names her Morning Star. The playthrough begins in the Gorges of Spirits, includes the fight with Crownless, and follows Rover through Jinzhou and Mt. Firmament to the Black Shores, where she meets Shorekeeper 56 58.

Aemeath calls this journey a “road movie”: Rover repeatedly resolves crises, forms bonds, and leaves companions behind while continuing her search for her past and a way to save Solaris 58.

Meeting Lu Yan in the Royan Frostlands

Lu Yan encounters Rover after falling asleep beside the adult Aemeath and awakening barefoot in a snowy wilderness. Rover can see and interact with him, despite his expectation that he is merely dreaming 100 101.

After identifying his Frequency body, she warns that prolonged exposure to the frostlands could damage his consciousness. She takes him to Glimmering Lakeside Lodge, gives him hot tea, and questions him about his identity. Her true name reaches him only as an incomprehensible electronic sound, which she attributes to his insufficient level 101.

Their conversation is interrupted by a splash from Jian Lake. Lu Yan rushes outside, and Rover follows him into the water to rescue Little Aemeath. Back at the lodge, Rover dries the child with her time power, wraps her in a blanket, and prepares food for both survivors 102 103.

Discovering Her Counterpart

Rover secretly submits a sample of Lu Yan’s Frequency to Shorekeeper. The Tethys System finds a 99.99% overlap with Rover’s own Frequency, leading Shorekeeper to describe him as a male version of her. The analysis also identifies him as an outsider drawn into their world in an unstable, weakened state 104.

Initially astonished, Rover comes to recognize similarities in his willingness to endanger himself for Aemeath. She orders the findings classified as top secret and does not establish whether he is a parallel-world counterpart or has some other origin 104.

Caring for Little Aemeath

When Lu Yan vanishes, Rover finds no remaining Frequency and concludes that he has died. Little Aemeath refuses to return to the Glimmering Forest, fearing that leaving the snowfield will make her forget her parents. Rover relents and allows her to remain at the lodge 105.

During Lu Yan’s seven-day absence, Rover tries to coax Aemeath into eating and playing, and considers taking her to Luhes for help. His return exposes her mistaken conclusion about his death 106.

Before disappearing again, Lu Yan asks Rover to protect Aemeath and avoid burdening her with distressing truths. Rover promises that nothing on the frostlands will hurt the child while she is there 108.

Over the following months, Aemeath becomes more lively under Rover’s care. Rover teaches her swordsmanship and literacy, provides recreation, and prepares her for school. During one visit, Lu Yan copies Rover’s sword technique with startling accuracy; their subsequent spar confirms his rapid development 111 112 113 114 117.

Departure and Later Influence

A few months after Lu Yan’s final childhood visit, Rover leaves to carry out a mission. Before departing, she takes Aemeath from the Royan Frostlands back to the Glimmering Forest in Rinascita 120.

Her wish that Aemeath live happily rather than become a great hero remains important to the girl. Aemeath recalls it when preparing to overclock Tunneler, knowing that the choice may cost her the life Rover hoped she would have 123.

Rover and Shorekeeper later help Aemeath confirm that Lu Yan truly exists during her years of searching for him across Solaris 130.

Relationships

• Lu Yan — An unexpected visitor whose Frequency nearly matches her own. Rover shelters him, investigates his nature, teaches him through sparring, and repeatedly accepts his requests to care for Aemeath between visits 101 104 108 113 118.
• Aemeath — Childhood ward and student who calls her “Sister Rover.” Their bond softens Rover’s initially distant manner; Aemeath, in turn, wants to become strong enough to protect both her and Lu Yan 111 112 113.
• Shorekeeper — Trusted collaborator who analyzes Lu Yan through the Tethys System, secures the results at Rover’s command, and affirms the Black Shores’ loyalty to her 104.
• Camellya — Rover is concerned about her recovery and instructs Shorekeeper to prevent her from sneaking away from the Black Shores. Camellya nevertheless visits the lodge secretly and worries about being caught 104 118 119.
