Additional thoughts:

Star Rail's not a bubble universe. As far as I'm aware it's a different, neighboring, full-fledged universe (Alien Space manga). Just specifying.

Silver Wolf is capable of hacking REALITY, so if she's Bronie, she's definitely an older, much more capable one. Also, doesn't that ability sound familiar now?

Eyes.

Closeup of Bronya Rand's eyes:

Closeup of Silver Wolf's eyes:

They are DISTINCTLY different, despite their bangs keeping the same pattern (though you could take the color difference for a lighting thing). Pay attention to the circle around the pupil in Bronya Rand's eye, and the dot of color in the middle of Silver Wolf's eye.

And now... check this out.

In order:

hi3 Bronya Zaychik's normal eyes (taken from her 2021 birthday CG)

Bronya's eyes during APHO (CEO Bronya PV)

Bronya's eyes after the events of APHO (CEO Bronya PV)

The normal eye design is gray concentric circles, with a notably outlined pupil area that's not too dark, just like Bronya Rand's. It's also slightly tinted brown.

The Herrscher eye design has a more silver look, and there's a dot of color in the middle over a darker pupil area, which doesn't look outlined like the regular eye design.

Model comparison (sorry, blurry):

Our Bronya's eye design has changed ever since she ascended as the Herrscher of Truth/True Herrscher of Reason (literal translation).

Silver Wolf has the True Herrscher Bronya eye design, while Bronya Rand has the normal eye design.

But... Bronie in hi3 has the standard eye design, despite her odd Herrscher of Reason-like powers. Does that mean, if they are the same person, that Silver Wolf has also undergone the metamorphosis process/ascended?

Fitting reason to decide she's no longer a prey animal, no?

Silver Wolf (Honkai Star Rail) character analysis ?

(I will talk about Honkai Star Rail, an unreleased game if you wish to play that game completely blind please scroll past this post)

I haven't made a long, kinda thought out post in a while so, have this because someone sent that on discord and I just had to talk about it :

To answer the question that the original OP asked : they're both real, unless mihoyo pulls a Schrodinger's cat bullshit at us.

Now the real question is : which is the one that actually originates from Honkai Star Rail bubble universe ?

That is also an easy answer : Bronya not Silver Wolf, and that's because Bronya, unlike Silver Wolf, as a set identity and actual an family member while Silver Wolf is unnamed and as far as we saw from betas, she has basically no one except Kafka.

Bronya, while it's not said on the website, has her family name listed as Rand officially, and she is the daughter of this bubble universe's Cocolia, Cocolia Rand, so she has been in the bubble universe since her birth.

Why not both ? Because so far, we never saw twice the same characters appear in any bubble universe, so I doubt that two Bronya looking basically identical can originate from the same bubble universe.

So now we can ask : is Silver Wolf from another unseen bubble universe, or, do we already know who she is ?

Well to start let's look at her physical appearance :

She has a very youthful appearance, just like most other Bronya ( HRS and APHO bronyas are the two exceptions so far), she also wear a techwear style I believe (I do not know about fashion please tell me if I'm wrong) and wears her hair in a ponytail and her hair ends with a blue fade.

This description already feels extremely similar, that's simply because that is almost a 1:1 description of Haxxor Bunny :

The main difference are the two pigtails as well as the color palette : Silver Wolf as a very purple-black while Haxxor Bunny being mostly black with colorful accents, but do note that in both characters black is the primary color and the one featured the most in their outfit.

Talking about their outfits there's a small detailed that I noticed :

Silver Wolf's bow is oddly similar to Haxxor Bunny's hoodie ears : both starting with metallic accessories and fade from black to blue with a dot pattern, also just the fact that Silver Wolf has bunny ears like accessory

So they're very similar in terms of their physical appearance that's for sure but they are also similar in many other ways :

Both are hackers

They both are mysterious and their complete identity is unknown to us

The prey VS predator relationship

1. Both are hackers

This is pretty direct so it will be a short segment ; both are said to be hackers, and while Bronya Zaychick is quite good with electronics on her own she was never stated to be a full on hacker, that was only Haxxor Bunny. They could have chose anyone else, or just made a new character, but they decided to use another Bronya while they already had one in the game.

2. They both are mysterious and their complete identity is unknown to us

As stated earlier for Silver Wolf, we know basically nothing about her other than : she is Kafka's accomplice and she is an excellent hacker.

For Haxxor Bunny, while we do know her name is Bronya, she goes mostly by her alias and her past is very much unknown to us, we only know that Natasha brought her to work in her café after Haxxor Bunny begged Natasha to help her (my memory of the Haxxor Bunny event is slightly blurry so I don't remember a lot of details feel free to go more into depth about this)

3. The prey VS predator relationship

Haxxor Bunny has a themes of "the prey being the predator" and "the hunter becomes the hunted" throughout her character :

Her alias has the word "bunny" an animal that has many hunters and is considered an easy prey and yet she is the one who hunts down people when she has to, to add onto that, the main "antagonist" of her event story is :

Yae Kasumi, a fox, an animal that actively hunts rabbits, and that shows in the story where Kasumi is hunting down Haxxor Bunny to stop her and yet in the end the one who comes out on top is Haxxor Bunny, the rabbit has won the fight against the fox.

Now we have basically nothing for Silver Wolf other than her name, but it does contains the word "wolf", a predator so it still plays in the prey/predator themes that only these two specific Bronyas have, we will have to wait and see if they do implement the same themes as Haxxor Bunny for Silver Wolf. Other thing : silver is a shade of grey and grey wolves are in fact apex predators, just a side note.

It would be fitting that the bunny who hunts becomes a wolf, an apex predator, that hunts everything.

Conclusion :

There's like way too many similarities between the two characters to be accidental, and it's not like characters from other bubble universes can't go in the Honkai Star Rail bubble universe because Honkai Impact 3rd Welt Yang is in the game.

So unless everything is just a big parallel between the two and that they aren't in fact the same character, I think Silver Wolf = Haxxor Bunny.

Now I'll just wait for mihoyo to make this whole analysis wrong and laugh at me.
