Firefly was first introduced to fans during the Honkai Star Rail 1.6 stream – but she didn’t feature in the game until the 2.0 update.

During the update, fans got to meet Firefly during the Sleepless Night mission, where they find two thugs threatening Firefly, accusing her of being a stowaway. Thankfully, Gallagher stops the issue and reasons that Firefly can’t be the stowaway, so she’s free to chat with the player.

Shortly after, she reveals she suffers from Entropy Loss Syndrome, a chronic dissociation of the physical structure, meaning they slowly fade away. Thankfully, she can free herself of the illness, and is after the Watchmakers Legacy to do so, which would make her an enemy to the Trailblazer.
