Honkai Impact 3rd

edit

Himeko Murata was born in 1987 to a scientist named Ryusuke and an unnamed mother, and by age fifteen she graduated high school as valedictorian and presented a paper at a conference. Interested in exploring the stars, Himeko enrolled at the California Institute of Technology's Aerospace and Space Engineering Program, studying under teachers such as Welt Yang. She was also interested in aliens, having traveled to New Mexico to investigate a sighting of one. Tragedy struck her in 2005, when her closeness to Welt and her father made her an unsuspecting target for the forces they were fighting against, and she was nearly killed by them and knocked unconscious. After she woke up, she was told that her father had died and that Welt had disappeared. Wanting answers, she earned her PhD and joined Schicksal, the anti-Honkai organization Welt worked with, to investigate her father's death. The Honkai is a destructive supernatural force in the game. She underwent grueling training and was accepted into an assault squad at 19 years old. In 2010, an incident occurred that led to the destruction of the Assault Squad, with Himeko being the only survivor. She joined St. Freya's Academy afterwards as a teacher to the game's protagonists, Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychik, and instructs them on fighting the Honkai.

She promised to bring Raiden Mei control her power as a Herrscher - a human influenced by Honkai energy. Later, when Kiana was kidnapped and taken to Schicksal, Himeko led a mission to rescue her. Later, Himeko fought Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, inside an imaginary space and defeated her, saving Kiana from being controlled by Sirin in the process. However, Himeko was gravely injured in battle, and died. Eventually, Earth is threatened with an alien invasion. Welt and Void Archives, an entity formed from a group of sentient weapons, infiltrate one of the alien ships, which eventually leads to them being stranded in outer space and finding out that the Sky People, an ancient civilization that destroys worlds, are targeting the Himeko from Honkai: Star Rail. Welt thus was brought into the alternate reality of Honkai: Star Rail so he could save her.[13][14]
