Unsolved Mystery of Eileen | Honkai: Star Rail Unreleased Character

for those who say eileen could've been an early concept of march 7th, i disagree because: 1: march 7th was revealed mere weeks after this build was originally made, not giving enough time for hoyo to possibly design her 2: there were already files for march 7th that had her name on it in the build with eileen

at the end of some event in penacony black swan talks about a memokeeper who used to keep her memories by taking pictures of herself

Vietnamese here. The line in the round brackets below Erene in the character spreadsheet means "Maybe has the same model as March7th"

Theory. Eileen is Past March Aka March with her Memories. Aka Who she once was.

I'm putting on the nerd glasses here At 8:00 the file doesn't refer to Fu Xuan as it reads Fuka, which is the JP name of Fu Hua in HI3.

I do believe Eileen is a scrapped March 7th concept, however she definitely could be March 7th's real form. Quick note about Hoyo is they tend to reuse basically everything, Aquarius (?) was a beta Xingqiu who used a bow and his animations were later reused for Tighnari. That's around 4-5 years of a gap before Tighnari actually dropped.

The leak image you showed suddenly reminded me of how much of a gold mine the Vietnamese fandom is for Hoyo games, especially the "lost" information that date back to before genshin's global reach. Because by the time, aside from Chinese (obviously), Vietnamese fandom was basically the biggest and most loyal international playerbase to Hoyo games. In fact, a lot of theories about the lore of the Honkaiverse was cooked up and became true from them

One thing I want to point out about Eileen's outfit in that beta footage is how different her clother are to March's. Eileen wears a dress with few details, while March has a shirt, skirt, and many accesories on top. But there is one accesory in Eileen's outfit that stands out: the lamp hanging from her back. There's only one other character in Starrail with such a peculiar accesory: *Firefly*. The shape of both lamps is identical, even though they both have different colors. So I propose the theory that Eileen's character was an early design that was scrapped, but parts of it were later used to create Firefly.

I guess she is the same situation with K.K or Kate Kaslana from Genshin Imapact She was in the earliest version and yet never appeared or mentioned since then

Been waiting for someone explaining Eileen in depth, then this just got dropped. Nice video !

I know this video is about Eileen but as a Rita enjoyer, I am super excited if she actually get's released! Rita deserves some love!

I was present during the honkai orchestra when they first revealed that hi3 animated short, and despite it most likely not being canon, I really, REALLY hope they introduce Carole/an expy of Carole bc my girl needs more love 😭😭😭

Eileen is actually terminus, and that's why we don't see their future (yet) idfk how the "traversing time backwards" would work for the outside observers actually tho

Hope they will reuse that beta design for March's lore in the future, maybe change Lightning Element for something else

Fuka isnt FuXuan, "Fuka" is the file name for Fu Hua in HI3 all of her battlesuits are named that, example: "Fuka_C7"

honestly this was such an exciting video, smashed the heck out of that like button

Either Eileen was supposed to be March and she wasn't Paimon enough aka cute and funny type beat so she got scrapped or she is actually March's past and they might come back with her introduction.

8:06 also this might be Fu Hua since she can be called fuka and in ggz she's named fuka. So that file is likely Marshal Hua from the xianzhou

Since there are people in the comments making connections with Eileen and march 7th, i'll give one of my favourite theories of march here: She's likely related to Fuli the Remembrance. Fuli's whole shtick [and Blessings in the Simulated Universe] revolve around ICE (literally was found in it, as well as being an Ice character) and MEMORIES (photography hobby, keeping up with PRESENT TRENDS, IRONY of lost memories, which could be due to the Garden of Recollection). After what Kafka said when she was interrogated in Xianzhou, I have the feeling March has something to do with the Aeon of Beuty, Idrila. Idrila is said to be suddenly vanished, maybe March herself is the reincarnation of this Aeon or maybe she is Idrila herself. My wild theory is that she sealed herself because beauty is temporary, and because of the Primum Mobile if she doesnt stay beautiful forever she may stop existing so she decided to seal herself forever Aside from the ice connections and memory issues, it's worth pointing out that March's photography hobby is similar to Fuli's goal of safekeeping the universe's memory. In one of the investigation dialogues in March's room (in her photography wall), it's mentioned that there are images impossible for March to have taken. This may just be a funny, meta joke, but there may be something hidden! March 7th for me is related to the Path of Remembrance like Sampo is related to the path of Elation. Those two are both invalid in the Rating pistol curio. And when you visit March's room later on, you will be creeped out by how March would have photographed some of the pictures there. There is even some photos of characters that we haven't met before. And the mirror at her room as well. You are confused why there are no reflections in her mirror. And her mirror looks exactly like in the forgotten hall mirror, where you are not reflected as well. i always knew march had a lot more to hide ever since i started playing the game. floating through space in a six phased ice, having no memories at all of her past, the fact that she's one of the mc's close friends, it all seemed way too suspicious some info here might be irrelevant, but i really wanted to share it here

Idk if it would help with anything but the skill icons that they used as a placeholder for eleen's skills are the skill icons that the twins liliya and rosalia have from Hi3rd. Nice vid :3
