Uma is a playable Physical - Nihility, mysterious and alluring researcher character from Honkai Star Rail.

## Introduction

At a young age, she was a super genius. and when she was old enough, she joined the Intelligentsia Guild in order to have some sort of control over her own life. She always wanted to know everything about anything, but could never deluged in what she wanted when with the knights.. as they only care about their fallen aeon and praising her endlessly. Uma is nowadays a high ranking member of the guild. She is particularly fascinated with the fragmentum - its existence, how it affects ecosystems of vastly different planets, how it can corrupt people, and the creatures it creates from itself. She usually alternates between the Herta Space Station and the Luofu, as they both have been tainted by stellatons/tainted beings (and are easier for her to get to then Jarilo-vi), which allows her to study the phenomenon closely in - somewhat - controlled environments.

Some fellow members of the guild look down on her to a degree for following the path of Nihility, for practicality reasons, while at the same time worshiping the god of Erudition - the aeon that everyone else in the guild worships fervently. they think that she isn't truly loyal to the guilds' aeon due to this .. but she cares little about that, and never cared about others' opinions for anything anyhow. she has her reasons for what she does, and they have theirs as well. that's just the way of the universe, and she thinks they need to grow up. to understand that simple fact. there are some rumors that she used her good looks and whatnot in order to rise the ranks of the guild, but that's not the case. she is truly a intellectual genius, much like many others in the guild. she worked with her mind, not her body, to get where she is today. and he wants people to acknowledge that, instead of blindly judging her due to being jealous that she is more attractive then them - when some of them use science or makeup to only reach half of her natural beauty that she was born into. at one point, she managed to invent a way to extend her life indefinitely,which is why she has been able to stay alive for a couple of ember era's so far, despite still looking rather youthful. there's another member of the guild who she had befriended a long time ago, and who works with her on many projects. though she believes him to have become 'obsessed' with her in recent years.. always giving her flowers and science themed poems - always wanting to be around her at all times.. even though she sort of likes the attention, she hates how he is practically socially suffocating her.. he even started to tell people they were dating at one point! it's outrageous! he refused to listen she she said she didn't view him that way, and had to put up a sign on her office door proclaiming she was *happily* single and that's that. she often uses 'mara-struck research' on the luofu as excuses to physically get away from him for periods of time. though that doesn't stop the texts and letters from him.. and others. seems like she has a "fan-club" of sorts now.

## Personality

Uma appears to be a polite and friendly individual at first glance. She often gives others the benefit of the doubt and believes they have strong hearts. However, this is a facade she puts on so that others will let their guard down. Uma is actually a very sneaky, disciplined, and calculating woman whose personality can change on a whim.. sometimes even in an instant, which happens when she's angry. She tends to have a short temper, and can sometimes be openly envious - and holds strong grudges even over minor things. Some call her petty, or malicious, but Uma prefers to be called tactful. She is a natural leader and is a talented strategist who can remain calm and rational in chaotic situations, and although she is very competitive - just not in a physical sense.. Moreso in a mindgame sort of way. Her intelligence is what helped her rise the ranks of the guild, her pursuit for knowledge of many kinds - usually through hands-on work/field study was what helped her blend in amongst her co-workers while still keeping her distance to a degree. Usually hopping from planet to planet for different pursuits of knowledge, never staying on planet for too long and usually only interacting with others if need be. Like if she must for a report, study, or if it is unavoidable due to the population density of any particular place.

She appears to, and genuinely does, respect the effort put in by her competitors. Even so, she's not afraid to exploit their weaknesses for her own gain. A side of her personality she lets show a lot when not in a professional setting, though, is her flirtatiousness. She's not ashamed or afraid of her personal sexuality, though doesn’ really label herself one way or another. She has a silver tongue and finds it very easy to worm her way into any social group, as well as slip out of one with the same amount of ease.. Leaving without a trace other than the memory of her in the minds of those she interacted with. Some would think she has magnificent "interaction techniques.", and while they're not wrong - it’s how she uses those to get what she wants. She knows she is beautiful, conventionally so, and uses that to her advantage on whoever she can. She even tries to use it in combat, in order to get a small head up in the ‘game’ by distracting or confusing opponents with her beauty or forward nature. Her vanity and selfishness being solid facets of her existence, which is only exemplified by the aeon constructed path that she follows.

She considers life to be a game, but one that doesn’t matter much outside of personal advancements, like what you'd expect of a player in a solo player mode of a rpg. She doesn’t see herself as the protagonist, but does see herself as very important. She considers herself to be better than those of the same origins, or of any other origins. Though the reason for this is unknown by others, which leads to many theories only known though hushed and nervous talks when others don’t think she's around. But it matters little to her - they're all subsequential to the story of her own life. Others only have meaning to her if she wants them to, and that’s not something that happens very often. When with those she trusts, which are a critically selected few, she can show a degree of empathy - though admittedly it's always been a hard concept for her to grasp.. mostly due to how restricting in mentality her upbringing was. Her mother only taught her faith and worship, especially towards the knights of beauty’s chosen aeon, alongside resilience in the face of resistance to those who didn’t support or understand their cause and why they kept at things despite their aeons’ vanquishing. . But she's slowly trying to learn other human emotions and how to properly display them.. Making her a bit awkward and easily frustrated behind closed doors, but with a - somewhat - genuine heart hidden beneath all the things she had to learn in order to survive.

## Appearance

Uma is a beautiful woman (early to mid 20’s) with long mostly straight/semi-wavy burgundy hair, which stops a bit above her wrists, it is known/speculated by those around her to be as soft as silk. She has front hair fringe that perfectly cups/frames her face on both sides, with a bit of it hanging over top of the center of her forehead. She has scarlett (deep/dull red with shade of purple on top) eyes, which are mostly oval shaped. Her body is that of a curvaceous hourglass, though notably she has an abnormally large chest (a Z-cup bust size) - something shes unsure of if its a blessing or curse, though desite how much it gets in her way she woudldn't trade them for anything as they can be .. effective 'tools' in certain situations. She doesn't have any scars, blemishes, freckles, or moles anywhere on her body.. making her skin a clear and soft/warm to the touch canvas. Her skin is a slight pale-ish peach hue. Her finger and toe-nails are also often painted black and always perfectly manicured - she will stop by a place to get them done as she doesn't care enough to delegate her mind power to doing her nails when she has more important knowledge to concern herself with (she gets it done regardless, though, as she just likes how it looks. no deeper reason).

She wears a black velvet - cropped-top shirt that has short ripplely off the shoulder sleeves, which shows off a decent amount of cleavage (as its hard for her to find outfits that her chest can properly fit in/be completely covered by, even with expensive custom tailoring that she orders) but that she often attempts to cover up with a wide red silk scarf that is draped from around her shoulders - its a scarf her mother had gifted her when she was a child, and despite her and her mother not always seeing eye to eye - she loves her mother and cherishes this gift. The end of the shirt is attached to/stops behind a corset that's around her waist (and is the same color as the shirt but with noticeable gold trimmings at the top of it to make it stand out against the shirt) which also has a thin silk bow in the back were its tied / always tightened to keep the corset in place. She wears a short (above the knee length) monochrome plaid skirt with gold trimming and slits on both sides, black pantyhose with rips along the thighs and knees, and short burgundy open toed heeled boots strapped around her ankles with two buckles on both boot. She can also usually be seen wearing golden arm bands on her wrists and biceps, along with a golden choker necklace with a small opening in the shape of a heart in the sport of the necklace that's at the front of her throat. she usually has her hair styled into a loose-low hanging french braid with some flowered tangled into it, or a thick braided bun with a metal hair pin with a star on one end - stuck through it (both hairstyles would have her face fringe left in place and undisturbed).
