Overview
March 7th is a central playable character and the energetic icon of Honkai: Star Rail. Rescued by the Astral Express crew after being found adrift in space encased in a block of eternal ice, she woke up with complete amnesia. Choosing her name based on the calendar date of her awakening, she joined the train's journey as a self-styled hero and quintessential mood-maker. Constantly equipped with her camera, she travels between worlds alongside her companions, taking photos of every milestone to build a new life full of irreplaceable memories.
Appearance
She features shoulder-length pink hair paired with distinctive two-tone pink and blue eyes. In her Preservation form, she wears an off-the-shoulder jacket, a single earring, one glove, a pleated skirt, a thigh strap, and short boots, always carrying her blue camera. When adopting her Hunt path, she switches to a Hanfu-inspired outfit complemented by a hair clip, white thigh-high stockings, high heels, and twin flying swords.
Personality
Bubbly, curious, and cheerful, March 7th naturally fills the role of the Astral Express crew's mood-maker. Rather than dwelling on her lost origins, she maintains an optimistic outlook and treats every passing day as a precious treasure worth preserving through photography. She frequently exchanges comedic banter and witty retorts with the Trailblazer, bringing levity to even the most dangerous galactic missions.
Abilities
Under the Preservation Path, she commands the Ice element using a bow to generate specialized Six-Phased Ice. She can cast defensive shields on allies to draw enemy targeting, triggering a counter-attack ice arrow whenever a shielded ally takes damage. Her Ultimate rains Six-Phased Ice across all foes, dealing damage with a chance to inflict Freeze. Under the Hunt Path, she wields twin swords with the Imaginary element. Through her skill, she designates an ally as her master, gaining movement speed and path-specific offensive bonuses. As her master performs actions, she accumulates charges to unleash an empowered, multi-hit basic attack sequence.
Background
After being discovered floating inside a block of everlasting ice by the Astral Express, March 7th awoke without any knowledge of her past identity. Embracing the date of her awakening as her new name, she joined the Astral Express as one of the Nameless. Throughout her travels across destinations such as Jarilo-VI, Xianzhou Luofu, and Penacony, she seeks clues regarding her history while capturing new experiences on film. During her time on the Xianzhou Luofu, she formally trained in swordsmanship under Yanqing and Yunli.
Relationships
She shares a close bond with her Astral Express companions, particularly the Trailblazer and Dan Heng, with whom she regularly trades jokes and undertakes field missions. Senior crew members Himeko and Welt Yang provide guidance, while Pom-Pom keeps the train running. On the Xianzhou Luofu, she respects Yanqing and Yunli as her martial arts mentors. Her search for lost memories also brought her into contact with Fu Xuan and a mysterious Messenger from the Garden of Recollection.
Trivia
Her name originates directly from the date she was thawed from the ice. The official global launch date of the game, April 26, coincided with both the lunar calendar date of March 7th and the birthday of Zhan Tianyou, regarded as the father of Chinese railways. A recurring gag aboard the Astral Express involves her attempting to stand upright during warp jumps, which inevitably causes her to fall over.
