About Kiana Kaslana (K-423)

Kiana Kaslana is one of the main protagonists of Honkai Impact 3rd along with Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychik. She is the adoptive daughter of Siegfried Kaslana, alongside being a vessel for the 2nd Herrscher — Herrscher of the Void. After the events of Chapter 25, she awakens as the Herrscher of Flamescion. Ultimately after the events of Chapter 35, her will was approved by the Cocoon of Finality, granting her its power and allowing her to awaken as the one and only true Herrscher of the End.

Appearance

Kiana has really long white and purple hair tied in an ornate ponytail, with a metallic crown adorned with a small segmented tassel on top of her head. Her eyes are bluish purple, with bright pink glowing irises, shaped like the Cocoon of Finality's symbol. She wears white and dark purple dress-like clothes, adorned with black and purple flowers. She has two white and chitinous wing-like structures floating on the sides of her body, overflowing with immeasurable amounts of Honkai Energy and with a field of stars visible from their back side.

Personality 1

Kiana Kaslana, or K423, was at first a very boastful, overconfident and "idiotic" girl who took a great liking to food. She was happy-go-lucky, and confident she could do anything she set her mind to. She often smiled, even if she was injured, and adored the company of her friends, whom she showed great affection to. Her happy-go-lucky attitude and her overconfidence often caused her to make reckless decisions without a second thought, especially if it was to save others, even if it meant sacrificing herself. However, after the 4th Honkai Eruption occurred by the hands of her "other self", Kiana's personality changed drastically. She matured into a person who was trying to find the resolve to counter the 2nd Herrscher haunting her, and, wallowing in her guilt and depression, she became a much more quiet, serious and thoughtful person. Although she found the resolve to keep going, she was still afraid of anyone getting hurt because of her, believing that, if anyone had to be hurt, it should be her. Around Mei, however, she faked her happy-go-lucky attitude frequently so Mei's concern wouldn't grow.

Personality 1.1

After gaining the ability to tame some part of the Herrscher's power, while she stayed at Anti-Entropy's Salt Lake base, she kept to herself a lot. When people avoided her in the cafeteria out of fear, she decided to eat later rather than scare them. Despite continuing to be a very considerate person who puts others above herself, she seldom involved herself in conversations or attempted to participate in any friendships, showing a great contrast to her previous attitude, out of fear for hurting others. During the events that transpired within the Theatre of Domination, Kiana faced her "dark side", the Herrscher of the Void. After coming to terms with the fact that both of the personalities within her are a manifestation of Sirin, she is able to take full control of her body and powers by gaining the Herrscher's respect. Despite all the hardships she faced, and the horrors caused by her other persona, Kiana decided to move forward with her loved ones, carrying forward the legacy left to her by Himeko, and resolving to fight for the beauty of the world.

Personality 1.2

Finally, during the events that transpire on the Moon, Kiana shows her growth throughout all the situations she's had to face. She now shows much more resolve to change the world and surpass the Honkai, while also finding a better way to do so than World Serpent's Project STIGMA, not wanting to effectively kill humankind. After becoming the Herrscher of Finality, Kiana regains some of her original traits, becoming once again more cheerful and somewhat childish, but with a much clearer maturity that allows her to use her powers responsibly and effectively. Being able to move on to a more peaceful life, despite her duties on the Moon, allows her to enjoy more time with her friends once again, though the fact that they cannot directly be together much of the time saddens her.

Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei's Relationship 1

Kiana and Mei have a special bond unlike anyone else's. Both of them were tossed aside by fate, and thrown into their own perspective chaos. But when they met, they were no longer alone in the world. Kiana has always been open about her romantic feelings for Mei. Mei usually scolded her for being too open about it on missions, but when Kiana fell under the Herrscher of the Void's control, Mei reflected on how much she cared for Kiana as well. Kiana thought of their reunion often after regaining control of her body. But when faced with the one she loved, whom she had nearly killed, she was terrified. She no longer wanted to be a burden in Mei's life, and felt that she had destroyed the happiness Mei finally found at St. Freya. Even as Mei begged her to come back to Hyperion, she refused. After saving Arc City and escaping from the Schicksal base in North Africa, the effects of the humongous amount of Honkai energy in her body began to fully take its toll. Mei found her on the brink of death in Nagazora, where they had first met. Kiana's condition was terrible, but she put on her best smile for Mei, as always. As the Honkai energy in Nagazora went out of control, and a wormhole opened in the sky, Kiana finally admitted to Mei she didn't care if she died before heading off on Benares.

Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei's Relationship 1.1

Kiana was injured, and knocked off of the dragon by Husk-Nihilus. She was saved by Kevin Kaslana, as per the deal Mei made with him. At first, Kiana thought Kevin was blackmailing Mei to join the World Serpent. But Mei said it was of her own volition and that Kiana didn't need to worry about her anymore. Kiana refused to let her go, so they fought. It was in this fight that Mei herself was also honest, and said that the world meant nothing to her if Kiana wasn't in it. Kiana was unable to defeat the newly awakened Herrscher, and passed out. As time had passed, Kiana begun to understand and accept why Mei left. She realized in trying to save Fu Hua how much her own self sacrificing attitude had hurt those around her. She decided in becoming the Herrscher of Flamescion that she wouldn't hide her true feelings anymore. As of now, she still thinks of Mei as her best partner.

Kiana Kaslana and Murata Himeko's Relationship 1

As a child born with no mother, and with a father that left her, Kiana naturally gravitated towards Himeko. At first, she was prickly. She thought that as a Kaslana, she was invincible, but Himeko proved her wrong by defeating her in a duel. After this, Kiana began respecting Himeko more. One time, on Fathers Day, Himeko found Kiana moping about the campus. Even in her drunken state, Himeko could tell something was wrong, so she asked Kiana about it before being brushed off. Eventually, though, Kiana admitted she was thinking about her dad. Himeko gave her a speech about her own issues in the past before bringing Kiana into a hug. Kiana protested, but let her do so. It's been shown various times that Himeko was a big pillar in Kiana's life. From changing her perspective on what it meant to be a Valkyrie, to her eventual final lesson, Himeko guided Kiana down her path. Kiana often called her 'Auntie', much to her chagrin. But when the Herrscher of the Void took control over Kiana's body, Himeko stepped up to save her.

Kiana Kaslana and Murata Himeko's Relationship 1.1

Kiana was shattered by her sacrifice. All her childishness and spunkiness had been replaced with guilt and fear. She ran away to Arc City, not knowing what to do anymore. Eventually, she tried to commit suicide, but Fu Hua stopped her. It was in remembering what Himeko said in her last moments that Kiana was able to fight the Herrscher of the Void for control over their shared power. Kiana lived by Himeko's words, and her request that she keep living. In saving Arc City, she felt she had finally done part of her duty. But her heroism was marred by the constant guilt raging in her mind. And it was only after saving Fu Hua she realized that. The Herrscher of Domination confirmed what Kiana feared. Himeko had died saving her. It was in this scenario that Kiana finally got to see Himeko again, though. It was a fragment of her, but her nonetheless. When Kiana took the Gem of Haste, she entered a world of white. There, she and Himeko walked together, reminiscing about the past. Himeko lightly teased her about hiding in the same bushes all the time, and how she only liked the combat class. But they both knew this couldn't last forever. Kiana had to go defeat the Herrscher of Domination. Kiana was going to say goodbye, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She cried and apologized to Himeko for what happened, and said she just couldn't find it in herself say goodbye. Himeko patted her head and told her how proud she was. She said Kiana truly was her best student. If the player chooses to continue talking to Himeko before leaving, Himeko reminisces on more memories with Kiana. After a while, she begun telling Kiana what Ragna's final letter said. She said she never comprehended what it meant until meeting her. And after a bit more talking, Himeko only stares fondly at Kiana, and says nothing more.

Kiana Kaslana and Murata Himeko's Relationship 1.2

It was in defeating the Herrscher of Dominance that Kiana could finally let go of the guilt she bared. She is ready to keep living. She wants to give hope to others, just as Himeko did for her.

History 1

Born on December 7th 1998, Kiana Kaslana was a carefree, bright and playful child. However, her family was torn apart as the Second Honkai War ravaged the land, and with her mother dead, and her father a fugitive, Kiana was taken by Otto Apocalypse to be examined. Otto kidnapped her to study the Kaslana genes and figure out how Siegfried got his powers. When he was unsuccessful, he instead started making clones of her, with the intention of using one of them as a vessel to bring back Sirin (the 2nd Herrscher). This was successful with clone K-423: in which the core was implanted during growth, with Kiana Kaslana's DNA infused within. The clone developed a consciousness and became sentient, unlike all the other attempts. Presumably living with Otto for quite some time, K-423 was eventually taken back by Siegfried in 2007. Siegfried tried to bring both Kianas (the original and the clone) with him, but lost the original in the confusion and rush. He managed to escaped and fled to a cabin in the woods, where he and K-423 lived for three years. During this time Siegfried was still grieving for his losses, and refused to acknowledge the clone as his daughter. He gave her what she needed to survive, and gifts on her birthday, but otherwise ignored her. K-423 was lonely, but she still cared for him very much, tending to Siegfried's wounds when he'd go out and fight the Honkai.

History 1.1

Honkai Impact 3rd begins with the Honkai Eruption in Soukai city in 2016, where Himeko's 5th Squad is sent to dismantle all the Honkai beasts. After Kiana dealt with her bunch of Honkai Beasts, she lands on the Selene and meets Mei, where the both of them are caught by surprise by the Honkai beasts. The two are quickly overpowered from the Honkai beasts, and Mei, desperate, uses the power of the 3rd Herrscher to defeat all the beasts. When Bronya finds Mei and Kiana, Mei quickly falls unconscious. The three venture into the battleship and Bronya notes that this battleship belongs to Anti-Entropy. The three also use Anti-Entropy technologies to venture in. When they arrive to the control panel, a letter addressed to Kiana is found in the master controller unit. It returns the battleship the Kiana and tells her that in order to "ascend the throne and rule this world", she needs to find 4 keys. It also says that the password to the bridge is Kiana's birthday, which Bronya enters. This then reroutes the battleship to St. Freya High. Just as Mei and Kiana relaxed, the biochip in Bronya's brain suddenly reacted and was set to purge all surrounding hostiles, attacking Mei and Kiana. Mei and Kiana thankfully defeat Bronya, letting Bronya regain consciousness and report back to Himeko. Bronya requests a physiological exam which reveals the energy from the Selene may have interfered with Bronya's biochip. Back in peace, the Valkyries resume their training for the next Valkyrie Exam, where Himeko tells Kiana that she will have training with Fu Hua to practice for the Exam. That night, Kiana has a dream where she hears a whisper welcoming her home. This ghost taunts her with information of her family.

History 1.2

The next day, the trio do more training with data simulations and Fu Hua, and Kiana meets Himeko, where Himeko says she doesn't believe Bronya was affected from the Selene but rather something else. This night, Kiana experiences another dream, where the ghost poses as her loved ones and insult Kiana and Mei, angering Kiana. The ghost continues to taunt Kiana, telling her they will meet again. On the day of the exam, Rita Rossweisse, the second S-rank Valkyrie appears, interested in the Kaslana present at the exam. As the trio travels through the exam, the final stage of the exam breaks and instead summons Ganesha, an Emperor class Honkai beast, too powerful for a B-rank Valkyrie to face. Nonetheless, the trio successfully defeats it, impressing Rita.

History 1.3

With the exam over, Kiana and her party were on the way back to the dorms, when Kiana suddenly collapsed and meets the whispering ghost again, when Kiana realizes that the ghost is the 2nd Herrscher, and although Kiana manages to beat down the ghost, the ghost taunts her, telling Kiana that it will return and that it will never stop haunting her. Rita remarks that the impact made by the Selene was quite severe, but in truth, Rita knew the truth of why Kiana was having the dreams. Afterwards, the newly ranked Valkyries are told they need to find the Gem of Desire in New Zealand. Meeting Wendy, a Valkyrie with the Gem of Desire implanted in her legs, making her unable to move. The trio quickly became good friends with Wendy, however the Gem of Desire starting to feed of off Wendy's hatred, giving birth to the 4th Herrscher of Wind. Although the girls successfully recovered Wendy to her senses, Cocolia unfortunately invaded Bronya's biochip and set her to attack the 4th Herrscher, which also reveals that Bronya's sudden action of attacking Mei and Kiana were not from Selene's influence but from Cocolia's. Not only this, both Mei and Wendy are taken by Anti-Entropy with Bronya following Cocolia's orders against her will.

History 1.4

Kiana, Himeko and Theresa all go to ME corps to save the other three girls, and luckily manage to save Mei but yet unfortunately at the price of Bronya blowing up her biochip, leaving her in critical condition. Not only this, Cocolia informs the party that Wendy has already been killed and the Gem of Desire is in AE's hands. Cocolia leaves them to fight Wotan, a powerful AE technology. The girls manage to return back to St. Freya, with Bronya in a deep coma that even St. Freya's doctoring could not wake up. Theresa then goes to St. Freya's underground church, where Schicksal's most powerful datas and technologies are stored. With the result strangely being the data reconstruct of the 2nd Honkai Eruption 16 years ago, Babylon Tower, Siberia. Theresa enters the dataspace, without knowing that Kiana was secretly following Theresa. In Kiana's curiosity, she follows suite into dataspace. Kiana experiences the events on February 7th, 2000, the day Sirin woke as the 2nd Herrscher. She meets Theresa, who doesn't recognize Kiana as this Theresa is a simulation of Theresa from 2000. Not only this, she also meets Siegfried, her father and Cecilia Schariac, her mother. Kiana grows an attachment for Cecilia, even calling her Mom. This is interesting, for the reason K423 woke at all was because Sirin desired to be Cecilia's daughter, and to hear Cecilia tell her "Ich Liebe Dich". As Kiana and Cecilia venture into Babylon Tower to defeat the 2nd Herrscher, and it soon becomes apparent that Kiana is unable to differentiate that this is a data simulation, and that none of it is real due to Kiana's attachment with Cecilia. As both Cecilia and Kiana defeat the 2nd Herrscher, the two hug until Theresa appears and is about to take Kiana away, until Fu Hua appears.

History 1.5

Fu Hua brings Theresa away and tells Kiana the truth: everything she just experienced was not a virtual simulation, nor were they real at all; she has been standing in one place the whole time, and she has been living an illusion, a dream set up by the 2nd Herrscher within Kiana using Kiana's curiosity to her parents as her weakness. This news shocks Kiana upon realizing everything she experienced with her mother wasn't real, and collapsed into tears, telling Fu Hua to give her mother back. In this rage and confusion, Kiana remembers the magical words "Ich Liebe Dich" and constantly repeats it, allowing Kiana to use a portion of the Herrscher's powers and fight Fu Hua. Unfortunately, Kiana loses and Fu Hua brings her to Schicksal HQ. Theresa immediately orders to attack Schicksal HQ, along with allying with Anti-Entropy.

History 1.6

Kiana is then infused with an unimaginable amount of Honkai energy and the Gem of Serenity, which wakes the 2nd Herrscher who orders Benares to wake from the frost and snow of Siberia. Although Benares does delay Schicksal just a little bit, Schicksal still successfully gave time to the 2nd Herrscher to attain dominance over Kiana's body. Disabling all of Schicksal's defenses and finding Mei who fell off of Hyperion, Mei uses the power of the 3rd Herrscher to attempt and save Kiana from the 2nd Herrscher, however the 2nd Herrscher defeats Mei as the 2nd Herrscher is, much more powerful than the other Herrschers. Mei fails to defeat the 2nd Herrscher, and the Sirin unleashes her Honkai beasts and destroys Anti-Entropy's mechs with one snap of a finger.

History 1.7

Mei notes that the 2nd Herrscher radiated immense Honkai power, and is even more interesting as while other Herrschers would take time to transform into their Ascended form, the 2nd Herrscher immediately woke in her Ascended form. The Herrscher, unimpressed by Theresa, Bronya and Mei's forces, brings them into her void space to kill them one by one, proving all of their attacks futile with even the Oath of Judah unable to bind the Herrscher. Fu Hua comes to attack the Herrscher to give the girls and Theresa time to escape, however the 2nd Herrscher leaves Fu Hua injured, and chooses not to kill her, with Otto letting her leave, much to Fu Hua's dismay. For four months the world suffered in despair, fear and pain as the 2nd Herrscher unleashed billions of Honkai beasts and destroyed cities and countries, with the survivors fleeing to whatever sanctuaries there were. The global Honkai Eruption was more devastating than any other up to that point. The Herrscher meets Himeko with the Gem of Haste in Vermillion Knight on Hyperion, and the two fight. The Herrscher is enraged to see her own gem being used against her, and starts to monstrously attempt with nothing to stop her to kill Himeko. Just as she was about to kill Himeko, AE used the Selene on the Herrscher, which reduced her vast Honkai reserves to nothing but a flurry of heat. Before any of them could land a lasting blow on the Herrscher, the 2nd Herrscher escapes.

History 1.8

Himeko, who easily defeats Benares after the 2nd Herrscher sends the dragon to attack Hyperion, is brought into the imaginary space where the Herrscher welcomes her to die. Although the Herrscher managed to severely injure Himeko, slicing her and even throwing the void at her, even the Herrscher could not compete with Himeko's determination and care for her student. In the end, the Herrscher defeats Himeko, only to realize Himeko has injected a Honkai neutralizing serum in her neck. Screeching an ear splitting scream of pain and agony, the 2nd Herrscher's imaginary space collapses and the 2nd Herrscher is put into a temporary slumber once more, however the Honkai eruption did not cease to spread. Kiana washes over a shore where she wakes and sees the results of the 2nd Herrscher's awakening: a despairing world in the state of panic and suffering, and is now wanted with Rita Rosseweise being sent to capture her in Shicksal's name. As she traverses through Arc City, a metropolis sanctuary for the remaining refugees and survivors, she discovers the existence of World Serpent, an organization that has released Honkai in certain areas of the City.

History 1.9

During her time in Arc City, she is constantly tormented with distress of being the catalyst of the world's devastation and even worse, the 2nd Herrscher wakes using Kiana's guilt over Himeko's death, and continues to gnaw at her weaknesses to regain control over her vessel again. While fighting a Honkai Beast, Kiana almost dies, where she is brought to an illusion constructed by the 2nd Herrscher, who reveals the terrifying truth while coaxing Kiana to join the 2nd Herrscher: everything about "Kiana Kaslana", a lie. Kiana Kaslana- no, K423, was only meant as a vessel for the 2nd Herrscher, made by a greedy human. In her mental agony of realizing the truth, an illusion of Fu Hua appears thanks to the Feather of Fenghuang Down, which Kiana has been ignoring for three months, believing Fu Hua to be a spy and a traitor. Fu Hua and Kiana have a small exchange, where Fu Hua warns Kiana not to fight the Honkai, and Kiana, both stressed and angered, yells at Fu Hua, shunning her away and telling her to leave. Before Fu Hua leaves, Fu Hua asks Kiana to forgive her. Kiana continues to fight the Honkai beasts, and laments over events in her life, remembering those she called her family and ended up hurting. Realizing she can't escape this fate and, weighed so heavily by guilt and meaninglessness to live, Kiana points the gun to her chin and just as she is about to pull the trigger, Fu Hua arrives, telling her now is not that time for despair, convincing her to live on.

History 1.10

While fighting more Honkai Beasts, Kiana finds herself helpless and covers her head as the Sanctuary level Honkai Beasts head for her direction. Just as they do, a time fracture suddenly occurs, where Kiana meets an image of Himeko who walks past her and asks what she is waiting for. Gaining resolve to "change this imperfect world into the one I want", she masters a portion of the 2nd Herrscher's Void abilities, which contributes to Kiana's augmented core Void Drifter, where she is seen with one eye gold and one eye blue. Kiana accepts Fu Hua's help, and the two venture into Arc City. When playing as Kiana in Chapter 11 EX, there is an alternative ending if you let the Herrscher Charge fill where the Herrscher of the Void successfully gains control over Kiana's body and says "the end of the Current Era is nigh", implying that the Herrscher of the Void will proceed to destroy the rest of the world (However this is not the true ending). After Fu Hua saves Kiana, Fu Hua begins teaching Kiana how to defend herself against the Herrscher of the Void and grow stronger through using the 8th Key and creating a dream space. Here she learns how to use the Edge of Taixuan.

Trivia

Kiana is considered to be MIA following the events of the Great Eruption and up to A Post-Honkai Odyssey. This is a result of her battle alongside Mei and Bronya to stop Kevin and Project STIGMA, following which she stayed behind on the moon to seal the Honkai and allow the Earth time to heal.
