Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star: Kiana has long white hair tied in a ponytail, held together with a red-ribboned scrunchie, and retains the eyes she possesses as the Herrscher of Finality. She wears Personality: Kiana Kaslana, or K423, was at first (and in some ways, still is) 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. 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. 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 Relationships: Raiden Mei: 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 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. Murata Himeko: 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 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. 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: 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. One day, Siegfried came home heavily injured from fighting Honkai, and collapsed inside the cabin. K-423 wanted to help him, so she grabbed the Shamash guns and went outside, where she found a Emperor class Honkai beast. Right before it stabbed her with its lance, Siegfried smashed its arm and kills it. Touched that K-423 wanted to fight the Honkai, he acknowledged her as a Kaslana and gives her the name of his daughter, Kiana. Kiana fondly remembers this moment, calling it the best birthday gift he had ever given her. The two make a pact to “fight for all that’s beautiful in the world”. One year later (2010), Sirin woke again, forcing Siegfried to put her back to sleep, losing an arm in the process. Siegfried left Kiana for unknown reasons, leaving her to wander the planet looking for him. She traveled to many countries in her search, including Italy, Haiti, and the Philippines. This eventually led her to Chiba academy in Nagazora (Honshu, Japan), where she met Raiden Mei. Kiana reached out to the girl, and despite Mei's reluctance, the two quickly became friends. Kiana eagerly hung out with her, eventually freaking out when she tried Mei's homemade cooking. She begged Mei to make food for her as well, since any time she tried to cook it would end in disaster. Mei agreed to her ridiculous list of food requests, and began making lunches for the both of them. Kiana also stood up for Mei when others would bully and mock her, despite the rumours that they spread about Kiana as well. She frequently repaid Mei in whatever way she could think of, even giving her the only umbrella she had in a downpour. When Mei asked Kiana why she reached out to her with all the rumours of her father, Kiana only said that "Mei is Mei", no matter what her father may or may not have done. The two found solace in each other, and were no longer as lonely as before. Kiana and Mei lived peacefully until the latter unexpectedly rose as the 3rd Herrscher: the Herrscher of Thunder. Her eruption sparked a huge amount of Honkai energy accumulating; turning everyone but Kiana into mindless zombies. Kiana fought against the personality that took over her friend, and eventually defeated her. When Mei awoke and tried to commit suicide, Kiana grabbed her hand and told her not to give up. After coaxing her to reconsider, Kiana was able to pull her up. The two of them traveled Nagazora for some time before running into Bronya Zaychik, who joined them in their journey to escape the city. There is another version told where Mei and Kiana only meet after the former became the Herrscher of Thunder. In this version Kiana is as persistent as ever, not giving up until she can "save" Mei from the Honkai. This version's Herrscher personality is the one who decides to jump off of the rooftop, afraid of Kiana's kindness. In the end, she still takes Kiana's hand.
