Character Name: Kafka
Canon: Honkai: Star Rail
Canon Point: After the 1.2 Patch Quest, Kafka's Character Quest
Age: Early to Mid 30s?
Birthday: August 9th
Personality: What would you do if there was something you wanted? Something you felt you couldn't live without?
For Kafka, the answer is, quite literally, anything. Born to a planet whose residents had lost the ability to feel fear, Kafka worked as an assassin (Implied: She "never knew those she worked with for long") before joining the Stellaron Hunters at Elio's request.
In her time with the Stellaron Hunters, she has committed many crimes. She has committed so many crimes. It would be easier to list the crimes that she did not commit than to list the ones she did. While Kafka enjoys her work to a certain degree, she doesn't have the disdain for human life that you'd see in some villains. Despite her penchant to "play with her food," her work with the Stellaron Hunters is a means to an end.
And that end, to her, is the ability to feel fear. It is highly implied that the thing that Elio had promised her is the ability to feel fear, and for that goal, she'll do just about anything. Because of the lack of fear, or perhaps just because it's her, she can seem pretty unflappable. She has the ability to play things off as if it's always a part of her plan, even if it isn't. She's cool, calm, and collected, and knows that the best way to make people afraid is to wait for them to flinch first.
With all this in mind, it sounds like she also lacks the capacity to care. This is far from the truth. Although Kafka can't feel fear, she can form attachments. She'll text the main character several times (assuming the player was lucky enough to win the Gacha lottery) just to ask what the main character is up to. If the player responds that they miss her, she'll reply that she's "actually really happy." Similarly, when Blade's affliction flares up, she calls the main character to try to get him under control. There's a distinct motherly undertone to her interactions with Silver Wolf, as well.
In Kaisou, she'll be happy to lay low. All of her work in canon is a means to an end, after all, and she's more than happy to play nice if there's even a sliver of a chance that someone here can help her learn to be afraid.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Early September
Items: Jacket, Cellphone, Sword
Retained Abilities: Hypnosis. Kafka has the ability to control those around her, using the target phrase "Listen.” This is extremely implied to be a form of hypnosis.
Note: This will not be used on other characters without explicit opt-in from players. Likely target will be NPCs.
