#hsr aglaea

[egg-witch]

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about this but I am VERY excited about a certain leaked upcoming character. I have theories and I really hope they're on the mark

So, Aglaea. Hear me out. I have two theories:

1. She's Yanqing's mother

Blonde hair (which is stated in one of Luocha's character stories to be unusual for a Xianzhou native so it's notable that she and Yanqing share this trait)

Ice powers

Appears to use a sword as a weapon

According to leaks she'll be debuting in the story toward the end of the Wardance questline

Yanqing is currently in the spotlight in the story

He never knew his parents and it's implied by his text conversations that Jing Yuan is hiding something significant in that regard

(side note, a reveal of Yanqing's birth mother would naturally raise the question of the father - well, that could be anyone really, but I'm just saying if he has his mom's hair and his dad's eyes... what a scandal it would be if the General didn't simply happen to "find" a newborn baby after all... just saying 👀)

Theory 2 leads on from this:

2. She's in Luocha's coffin

We're in the lead up to that reveal since we've yet to witness the outcome of Jingliu and Luocha's planned stunt, and I assume that's coming next patch - Hoolay is now actively hunting Jingliu down so she is definitely going to appear

If Luocha is telling the truth, there is a person in there

A person who he's returning to the Xianzhou to fulfil a promise and repay a debt

One complicating factor here is that apparently Aglaea's path will be Destruction, not Abundance - however lore and gameplay paths don't always match strictly, and we also have a pretty strong explanation for why that may be in this case:

Aglaea has leaf, vine and white flower motifs on her design. Whatever is in Luocha's coffin has vine-themed powers and is associated with white irises (the white flowers on Aglaea's outfit, from the picture we have, could definitely be stylised irises)

Her design is just very reminiscent of the coffin in general

Luocha smuggled the Stellaron onto the Luofu for Phantylia. The Stellaron is not with him any more, but that coffin may well have been how he got it on board in the first place... He immediately recognises that the Trailblazer has a Stellaron inside them, and remarks that he's surprised the energy radiating from it seems calmer than he'd expect. The one interaction we've seen between Luocha and the inhabitant of that coffin where it responded at all, it was immediately violent. Aglaea might have been a vessel, Luocha's means of getting the Stellaron onto the Luofu undetected - this being his side of the deal he struck with her, in return for bringing her home.

Thank you for hearing me out you can comment on this post please talk to me about my crackpot theories I have so many thoughts and feelings

hsr model leak talk under cut

we got shoe pics of his lordship's new model on this holiest of sundays. by next week I pray we have concept art leaks.

other than his lordship, what is currently visible of feixiao and who is likely aglaea (spelling probably wrong lol) is chef's kiss. I will wait to pass judgment on the others until they actually appear in game.

hsr new leaks potential huge story spoilers

luocha has fucking what in there

well there goes my theory abt aglaea being in the coffin. new theory she's the one who gave it to him. I am convinced she has SOMETHING to do with it. maybe she IS the coffin I don't know but the design similarities and timing and what we've heard of aglaea's gameplay are too much to be a coincidence. the fabric draped across the coffin in his splash art is even the same colour/looks like the same type of fabric as the accents on aglaea's dress I am not dropping this there is something here I swear

but if this leak is accurate that begs the question who the fuck is she and why did she give him a coffin with TAYZZYRONTH'S CORPSE INSIDE

and how do he and jingliu possibly think showing that to all the leaders of the xianzhou alliance is going to end well

does jing yuan know that's what he has

holy shit I'm reeling what is going on fjdhfjdhdh
