Honkai: Star Rail, the latest RPG title by miHoYo, features over ten characters, each having different abilities and unique backstories. One of them is Himeko, an adventurous scientist who encountered the Astral Express as a child when it was stranded in her home world.

She is a Pyro character who uses a briefcase as a weapon. Players can test Himeko in the Honkai: Star Rail closed beta in which all the details of her abilities, talents and more have been revealed.

Himeko's story

As stated by miHoYo, "Himeko is an adventurous scientist who encountered the Astral Express as a child when it got stranded in her home world.

At that time, some existence in the Express revealed to this young girl a whole world outside of her own — the universe.

Years later, Himeko finally repaired the train and began her journey to the stars, but she realized that this was only the beginning. On the Trailblaze path, she would need many more companions...

Even though such companions may have different destinations in mind, they all gaze at the same starry sky."

Himeko's abilities
