Herta (Honkai: Star Rail)

View source

“ I'm already perfect, so what else should I do? „

Summary

Herta is the Member #83 of the Genius Society, she is the master of the eponymous Herta Space Station, where she appears in the form of a puppet she modeled after her younger self. She collaborated with Screwllum, Ruan Mei, and Stephen Lloyd to create the Simulated Universe, in order to research the mysterious nature of Aeons.

“ The writers from the Intelligentsia Guild wanted to give me an extra title. Something like "Herta Prime" to separate me from my puppets. How banal. Are the puppets not "me" as well? So, I gave them a suggestion — if they dared to write that, then I would call myself THE Herta. It's short, simple, straight to the point, and elegant. „

“ What represents the boundaries of mortal knowledge? Many people think it's the Genius Society, but I think it's myself. „

Summary

The Herta is esteemed member #83 of the Genius Society, human, female, young, beautiful, attractive. It's said that she lives in the far edge of the Cosmos, almost never leaving. Sounds like her appearance this time... must be to deal with an issue that has to be handled herself, right? She is also an Emanator of Nous the Erudition.

Imaginary Implosion Pulse and innumerable Curios she can use and build with Preparation

Intelligence: Supergenius

Herta is an Emanator of Erudition and is part of the Genius Society, a collection of the most remarkable geniuses and smartest minds in the universe,[22] with Herta being a one-in-a-trillion genius.[23] She is one of the smartest being in the universe, having been blessed and being the only one to have been gazed upon twice by Nous,[21] the Aeon that incarnates knowledge,[10][60][61][12] which is something that even Dr. Primitive, another Emanator of Erudition,[62] was unable to receive from the God of Intellect. Herta's abilities are described as magical, as she has reached the pinnacle of science, rendering her powers beyond explanation by conventional scientific means.[45] The connection between magic and science is reaffirmed when a group in the Intelligentsia Guild believe and claims that science was originally the same as magic, that advanced science is magic and rigorous magic is science.[31] Herta's scientific achievements allowed her to break "time" and "space", the two great conundrums that had long hindered human progress, a feat she even described as being "too easy to step over".[32][39]

In her childhood, Herta solved the solitary waves theory,[21][12][32][63] which had remained unsolved for nearly a hundred Amber Eras despite numerous other geniuses—and even the theory’s proposer, Patavia, who used the Scepters, imitations of Nous' computational powers that allow one to extrapolate the future and expand cognition—being unable to do so.[28][39] Herta also solved the Spark model hypothesis.[21][12][32][63] In her adolescence, she discovered the Sigma Baryons conversion method.[21][12][32][63] In middle age, she proposed the Herta sequence and published a paper on de-aging.[21][12][32][63] In her senior years, she managed to reverse her own age through de-aging, went on to solve the mystery of the imaginary leakage phenomenon, and even captured and sealed a Stellaron.[21][12][32] Herta, together with Screwllum, Ruan Mei, and Stephen Lloyd, created the Simulated Universe — a virtual universe capable of simulating the entirety of the universe, being able to do anything within, including simulating Aeons, higher-dimensional Tier 1 beings.[24] Herta's deduction skills are incredibly accurate to the point that she can tell the serial numbers of each of her thousands of puppets just by quickly looking at them.[40]

Inherited all the knowledge of Calderon Chadwick the Member #79,[29][40] whose expertise includes solid-state physics, applied theory of imaginary numbers, ballistics, plus tens of thousands of formulas and equations about the Imaginary Implosion Pulse.[29] Additionally, Screwllum the Member #79, stated that throughout his long life, Chadwick was one of rare souls he met that truly deserved to be called a "genius" despite Screwllum only meeting him twice in-person.[29] Chadwick's accumulated knowledge earned him the title of "Father of the Imaginary Pulse", which eventually culminated in his ultimate creation, the Imaginary Implosion Pulse, a weapon that uses Imaginary Energy.[29]
