| ~ Bronya reaffirming her resolve |
| “ | What, are you surprised that the nature of the Herrscher of Reason is so simple? The Herrscher of Reason's power is more like a castle floating in the air - just like mathematics. Proving that 1 + 1 equals 2 is nothing more than repeating the definition of natural numbers. The Herrscher of Reason only inherited the logic of civilization's evolution. So, to the other Herrschers, nothing actually happens if the power of the Herrscher of Reason becomes theirs, because it is a miracle belonging to mortals. |

Summary
Bronya Zaychik is one of the main characters of Honkai Impact 3rd, alongside Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei.
Brought up in the ruins of Siberia after being orphaned by the Second Eruption, Bronya was trained as an assassin for the purposes of civil war; eventually becoming the infamous "Silver Wolf of the Urals". In her last assassination mission, she was defeated by her target Cocolia and brought to her orphanage, changing her life forever.
After the loss of Seele, her emotions and the use of her legs to the X-10 Project, Bronya would eventually go on a mission to Nagazora, where she would meet Kiana and Mei. The events of the Third Eruption would bring them together, culminating in their enrollment in St. Freya's Academy.

Key: Valkyrie Chariot | Drive Kometa | Herrscher of Reason | Herrscher of Truth
Name: Bronya Zaychik
Origin: Honkai Impact 3rd
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Classification: Silver Wolf of the Urals, Valkyrie, Herrscher of Reason
Powers and Abilities:
Honkai Energy (Low-Level), Genius Intelligence (Bronya is consistently referred to as a prodigy in mechanics, and understood the use of the Authority of Reason in mere seconds when it would normally require years of study and practice for anyone else), Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant and Firearm Specialist, Energy Projection, Explosion Manipulation and Gravity Manipulation (fights primarily with laser beams, rockets and gravity bombs), Levitation (with Project Bunny, which she prefers over walking), Hacking (Bronya is a skilled hacker, being able to access and reprogram Anti-Entropy mechs and facilities), Limited Space-Time Manipulation (with Valkyrie Chariot's Supergravity Field, which creates a powerful gravitational field that locks caught enemies in space-time for a short amount of time), Damage Reduction (with Reactive Armor, which decreases damage taken from ranged attacks), Black Hole Creation (with Valkyrie Chariot's Grav Singularity), Time Slow (with Time Fracture), Radiation Manipulation (Bronya's regular attacks emit atomic radiation), Ice Manipulation (with Frost Nova, which freezes all mid-air enemies within a large AOE, and Land of Snow, which freezes all enemies in range), Forcefield Creation (with Bio Ward, which projects a shield that absorbs elemental damage and has twice Bronya's durability), and Statistics Reduction (with Crippling Blast, which halves the physical attack power of enemies struck by Bronya's basic attack)
Resistance to Honkai Energy (all Valkyries are trained to be resistant to Honkai energy or risk being killed by their own power source, and as a survivor of the X-10 project, Bronya should be significantly more resistant than most, though not to the same extent as Seele), Mind Manipulation (can resist the influence of the 300,000 minds inside her Herrscher Core), Electricity Manipulation (can resist Mei's electricity-based attacks), Paralysis Inducement, Fire Manipulation and Ice Manipulation (can resist getting paralyzed, set on fire or being frozen by Honkai beasts, represented as Paralyze, Ignite and Rime trauma build-up in-game), as well as Gravity Manipulation and Space-Time Manipulation (can resist her own supergravity field)
All previous abilities to a greater extent, Paralysis Inducement (with Gravity Vortex, which paralyzes nearby enemies when Bronya's forcefield is breached), Statistics Amplification (with Obliterate Mode, Drive Kometa's burst mode), Enhanced Gravity Manipulation and Black Hole Creation (with Star of Eden), Additional Forcefield Creation (with Mecha Barrier, which projects a shield that absorbs physical damage and has twice the durability of Bronya herself), Statistics Reduction (with Mech Phobia, which decreases the defenses of enemies struck by Bronya's basic attack) and Attack Reflection (with Reverse Trajectory, which reflects ranged projectiles back at the attacker with significantly greater force)
All previous resistances to a greater extent, Improved Resistance to Honkai Energy (briefly withstood the radiation of the cascading Core of Reason and eventually overcame the corruption to become the next Herrscher of Reason)
All previous abilities to a greater extent, Honkai Energy (Herrscher), Creation (the Herrscher of Reason's Authority can create permanent objects out of Honkai energy as long as the mechanics of the object is fully understood by the user), Healing (Bronya can repair and reconstruct parts of her body using her Authority, but this takes significant effort due to not having undergone ascension), Acrobatics (having repaired her legs with her Reason Authority, she is no longer limited by her prosthetics, though she still prefers to float), Weapon Creation, Weapon Control and Danmaku (Bronya can construct dozens of Keys of Reason at once and manipulate them in mid-air for tactical laser bombardment), Technological Manipulation (Bronya can freely modify Project Bunny and the constructs she creates, either through intimate familiarity with their structures, or through filling in the gaps in her mental blueprint with her own mechanical knowledge), Vehicular Mastery (Project Bunny can transform into an armored motorcycle that Bronya is highly-adept at riding), and Enhanced Time Slow (as a Herrscher, should possess a more potent global time fracture than the standard Valkyrie equivalent)
All previous resistances to a greater extent
All previous abilities to a far greater extent, Creation and Matter Manipulation (with the ascended Reason Authority, Bronya can construct and modify anything she can imagine or that she knows can exist, even without any knowledge of the underlying structure or mechanisms), Information Analysis and Psychometry (with the full Reason Authority, Bronya can analyze and fully understand anything her power comes into contact with down to the fundamental logic of their existence), Regeneration (Low-Godly; can store her disembodied consciousness in her Herrscher Core and reconstruct her entire body with little effort), Mind Manipulation (by emulating the order of Project Stigma, Bronya can force as many as seven billion wills to stagnate for two seconds), Information Manipulation and Power Mimicry (can freely change the properties of herself and her creations to emulate the abilities and fundamental logic of other beings she has analyzed to achieve things that only those who have a similar or the same existence can achieve)
As the Herrscher of Reason and no longer limited by what she has knowledge on, Bronya should have access to the following abilities via her creations: Space-Time Manipulation, Dimensional Travel, Teleportation, Portal Creation, BFR, Sealing and Clairvoyance (with the 2nd Divine Key, Cosmic Juggernaut, which uses the Void Authority to manipulate space-time, and that Su has used to view countless parallel worlds, seal others in separate spaces, and that Captain has used to travel to other parallel worlds), Electricity Manipulation and Durability Negation (with the 3rd Divine Key, Seven Thunders of Retribution), Weather Manipulation (with the 4th Divine Key), Ice Manipulation and Limited Immunity to Time Manipulation (with the 5th Divine Key, Great Hibernation, which allowed the Previous Era to avoid being erased by the time loop reset enacted by the Herrscher of Finality), Matter Manipulation (with the 6th Divine Key, Abyss Flower, which deconstructs and reconstructs matter at an atomic level), Fire Manipulation and additional Spatial Manipulation and Durability Negation (with the 7th Divine Key, Judgement of Shamash), Mind Manipulation, Illusion Creation, Dream Manipulation and Memory Manipulation (with the 8th Divine Key, Fenghuang Down), Gravity Manipulation and Black Hole Creation (with the 9th Divine Key, Star of Eden, which Bronya uses most often), Elemental Manipulation (with different versions of the 10th Divine Keys such as Water's Edge), Power Nullification, Chain Manipulation and Homing Attack (with the 11th Divine Key, Oath of Judah, which fires homing spears and chains that negate both Honkai and conventional energy on contact, though it prioritizes the former), Limited Intangibility and Reality Warping (with Kiana's ARC Serratus, which can shift its bullets' properties between real and imaginary to phase through everything except for its intended target), Antimatter Manipulation (using the logic of the Positron Blasters, should be able to manipulate antimatter and offensively utilize electron-positron annihilation) and Energy Manipulation (can convert Honkai Energy directly into conventional energy using the Selene), and far more (as she should be able to replicate the abilities of every battlesuit, weapon, and robot created by humanity as long as she can think of them)
High Resistance to Honkai Energy (after ascending, Bronya is noted to have achieved the greatest synchronization with her Herrscher Authority out of all the known ascended Herrschers at the time, and should thus have at least equal resistance to Honkai and its effects as Kiana), Resistance to Deconstruction and Death Manipulation (should be able to resist the Gem of Serenity's effects on her body, which was capable of reducing an A-rank Valkyrie to dust in under a minute of exposure), and Power Nullification (should at least be able to resist the same base negation effects of the Oath of Judah in a similar way as the Herrscher of the Void did during the Great Eruption)
Attack Potency: Multi-Solar System level (Using Valkyrie Chariot, nearly defeated Wendy with the help of Mei and Kiana, who possesses enough energy to comprise a notable portion of the necessary power to run the Selene at its full capacity; with the Selene's strongest attack in the past having inadvertently fueled the Ether Anchor that created Durandal's bubble universe; and using Star of Eden with Yamabuki Armor, she could notably damage the Herrscher of the Void) | Multi-Solar System level (At her peak with this battlesuit, she should be roughly comparable to Void Drifter Kiana during the Herrscher of Sentience story arc) | Multi-Solar System level (Capable of single-handedly destroying Tlaloc, one of the products of Project CHIMERA, who was powerful enough that during their first encounter with the monster, the combined might of Theresa, Rozaliya, Liliya and Bronya at that time were completely incapable of scratching it; as the Herrscher of Reason, at minimum would possess an order of magnitude more Honkai energy than what was used by the Ether Anchor to create Durandal's bubble universe) | At least Multi-Solar System level, far higher with the Selene Cannons (Incomparably stronger than before; effortlessly stronger than the peak powers achieved by both Welt Joyce and Welt Yang prior; stated that the first worthy opponent she encountered since metamorphosing was the entire world of Project Stigma itself; and assisted in the defeat of Kevin Kaslana at his strongest alongside Kiana and Mei, with her strongest creations, the Selene Cannons, being supposedly strong enough to break the forcefield of Irrefutable Suppression erected by Kevin, which both Kiana and Mei were incapable of even scratching with normal attacks)
Speed: Relativistic reaction and combat speed (comparable to Fu Hua, who can dodge gamma ray lasers from point-blank range) | Relativistic reaction and combat speed (Faster than before; can keep up with peak Void Drifter Kiana in a spar) | At least Relativistic reaction and combat speed (kept up with the Herrscher of Sentience) | At least Relativistic reaction and combat speed (far faster than before; should be superior to characters on the level of Kalpas, who nearly blitzed pre-Elysian Realm Herrscher of Thunder Mei while she was on-guard)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 (should be comparable to early-game White Comet Kiana), higher with Project Bunny 19C, at least Class E with Star of Eden's gravity | At least Class 10, higher with Project Bunny 19C (Should be stronger than before) | At least Class E, higher with Project Bunny 19C (Should be physically comparable to other Herrschers on her level) | At least Multi-Stellar (Physically comparable to the likes of Herrscher of Finality Kiana and Herrscher of Origin Mei, and was able to hold back a finishing blow from Deliverance Kevin for a prolonged time)
Striking Strength: Multi-Solar System level (Comparable to early-game White Comet Kiana) | Multi-Solar System level (Capable of sparring with Void Drifter Kiana during the Herrscher of Sentience arc) | Multi-Solar System level (Far stronger than before) | At least Multi-Solar System level (Capable of dealing significant damage to Kevin Kaslana in his Deliverance Form)
Durability: Multi-Solar System level (Tanked attacks from Wendy) | Multi-Solar System level (Can withstand her own attacks using Star of Eden, as well as take blows from Void Drifter Kiana) | Multi-Solar System level (Withstood attacks from Kevin in his Active Honkai Reaction, though was defeated without much difficulty) | At least Multi-Solar System level (Can take serious blows from Kevin in his Deliverance Form)
Stamina: Superhuman (Could continue fighting through several bubble universes in the Sea of Quanta for days on-end, and as a Herrscher, should have stamina comparable to Durandal, who could maintain peak combat performance for an entire month without rest)
Range: Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons and Star of Eden | Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons and Star of Eden | Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons and Star of Eden; up to High Complex Multiversal with Authority of Reason | Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons and Star of Eden; up to High Complex Multiversal with Authority of Reason
Standard Equipment: Project Bunny 19C, Star of Eden, and a survival knife
Intelligence: At least Genius (Simply by applying her existing knowledge of weapons and war, Bronya nigh-instantly understood how to use the Authority of Reason upon obtaining it, despite Welt Yang having taken decades of study to learn how to use it to its fullest. Furthermore, Welt notes Bronya's ability to instinctively fill in the gaps in her knowledge of mechanisms she had never experienced before purely through applying her preexisting knowledge on similar mechanisms)
Weaknesses: In the earliest chapters, Bronya possessed a brain chip that could be hacked to take control of her actions. However, that has since been burned out and removed before she ever donned the Drive Kometa battlesuit. Otherwise, none notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Authority of Reason: The power of the Herrscher of Reason is "construction"; that is, to create objects out of thin air that would normally require extremely complicated processes to produce from scratch, just by converting Honkai energy into "Reason", which can take the form of conventional energy and matter down to a quantum level. Prior to metamorphosis, these construction powers were limited by the user's own understanding and energy source, but the actual upper limit of the Herrscher of Reason is civilization's "possibility". Anything that has been, or can eventually be, comprehended by civilization is something the Herrscher of Reason can construct, be it objects, abilities or even intangible properties and concepts. This is why, after her metamorphosis, Bronya is able to analyze and produce anything she can reason to be possible through human civilization, even if she lacks the knowledge herself, with the Authority filling in the gaps automatically. Everything else that the Herrscher of Reason can do is an extension or supplement to this fundamental ability. Below are just a few examples:
- Construct Modification: Besides the basic "construction", this is the only portion of the Authority that Bronya could use regularly prior to her metamorphosis into the Herrscher of Truth. Her Authority can take hold of constructs she is familiar with and modify them as she sees fit, which is the source of the many structural changes and improvements that Project Bunny 19C has undergone since Bronya became the Herrscher of Reason.
- Self-Modification: Bronya can modify her body using the Authority, which she used to fix her legs which where crippled by Honkai corruption during the X-10 experiment. Beyond this one use, the modification of biological material was too complex for her, as the body had too many complex simultaneous processes going on at once that she couldn't keep up with. After metamorphosis, however, Bronya can effortlessly rebuild her body and even modify it to extreme extents to her needs, such as when she claimed she could turn herself into an Imaginary Construct, perform the feat of Welt Yang, who stored his mind in the Core to recreate his entire body from nothing, or replicate the feat of Welt Joyce, who transformed his own hand into a miniature Oath of Judah.
- Analysis: The Herrscher of Reason can analyze and memorize objects just by touching them, on top of her standard analysis abilities.
- Creation of Divine Keys: The Previous Era's greatest technological marvels that draw power from the cores of slain Herrschers, and thus utilize their authorities though not nearly to the same extent outside of their Zeroth Powers. Bronya can now theoretically use every Divine Key she knows exists, and even replicate their abilities independently of actually reconstructing them. However, she tends to prefer her own custom weapons, which are generally shown to be more powerful.
- Logic Recreation: Bronya can take the underlying "logic" that certain things operate on and replicate them to use for her own purposes, such as when she recreated the logic of the imaginary constructs that served as supports for the framework of Project Stigma in order to deconstruct and reconstruct the order of Project Stigma, tear open a hole in its mind-space, and stagnate the 7 billion wills that compose it to cease its functions temporarily.
