* RapunzelHair: Her long twin braided hair is notably much longer when she loosens them as [[spoiler:Herrscher of the Void and]] Void Drifter.

** Initially it "only" seems that Kiana is dealing with a case of DisappearedDad which she's hellbent on solving, but it eventually turns out she's always hurt from never knowing anything about her MissingMom. Kiana was seemingly abandoned by Siegfried when she was not even a teenager, after which she spent the following years searching for him through several ''continents'' entirely on her own, [[AdultFear with all that entails]], including Honkai-infested lands and apparently even being involved in a school murder case as a near-victim.

** When their paths cross again five months later in Kolosten, Durandal is quite eager to meet Kiana again and later offers her a rematch at the first chance they get. As Kiana has now defeated the 2nd Herrscher within her for good, giving her full control of her void powers on top of having awakened ''another'' Herrscher's powers from the Gem of Haste, the fight is much more even this time around. After they're done Kiana excitedly boast about her development and Durandal actually agrees, expressing genuine joy that Kiana is living upto the potential that Durandal saw in her back when they first fought.

* TwoDonorClone: It is reveal that [[spoiler:Kiana Kaslana is actually a clone of the original Kiana created by Otto Apocalypse]]. However, it goes much deeper then that since [[spoiler:she is also a clone of Sirin, the second Herrscher since she possess her Core which still contains her consciousness and soul]]. This also cause a situation in which there are [[spoiler:two aspects of Sirin: Kiana Kaslana, the Sirin who wanted the love of a family she never had, and Herrscher of Void, the Sirin who wants to destroy humanity for the cruelty they inflicted on her]].

* VariantPowerCopying: In the "Shattered Samsara" short animation, when her opponent [[spoiler:Herrscher of Sentience]] prepares a powerful attack to be thrown at her, Fu Hua guides her to use what the former had taught her - the Edge of Taixuan: Eminence. While Fu Hua used the Fenghuang Down to power its attack in the past, Kiana instead uses [[spoiler:her void powers]] to do it.

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:Though her body is a clone of the original Kiana Kislana, her mind and soul are the human parts of Sirin uncorrupted by Honkai influence that desperately wished for a second chance at a happy life as a human, rather than the BrokenBird killing machine she'd become.]]

* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: She ultimately accepts her defeat at the hands of Kiana in Chapter 25 and, while she doesn't agree with her vessel's ideals, she wishes her good luck before vanishing.]]

* DistractedByTheSexy: The Spring 2021 event "Once Upon a Time in Shenzhou" starts with Kiana filming… a close-up of Mei’s chest in her form-fitting festival dress.

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: In one Cooking with Valkyries episode, after she makes a tapas out of ham and honeydew that tastes good, she hurriedly runs outside, trying to impress Mei with it... But then the tapas falls off Kiana's toothpick in front of Mei. After a short AwkwardSilence, Kiana quickly runs inside again, then goes back outside while carrying more of the same tapas.

* FisherKing: In ch. 16, Raven claims that the reason the sea level rises overnight in Nagazora and the appearance of Honkai Beasts being more numerous is that [[spoiler:Kiana (who's missing in said city) is slowly succumbing to the Honkai and the will of the Herrscher inside her]]. However, in chapter 17, [[spoiler:Kiana later claims that it's not her doing; the Honkai levels seem to keep rising even after she wakes up]].
* FlamingHair: In Everlasting Flames [[spoiler:even her hair starts emitting flames when using he full Herrscher of Flamescion abilities.]]

* {{BFS}}: [[spoiler:In chapter 25, she uses Himeko's broken sword to fight the Herrscher of the Void and the Legion Herrscher. She later gains her own as she becomes the Herrscher of Flamescion. In gameplay, she only [[SummonToHand summons the sword whenever she's performing most attacks]], and some of her bridge animations has her summon the sword to her hand as she speaks.]]

** In one supplementary comic, when Herrscher-Mei is at the mercy of "Welt" (the Herrscher affiliated with Anti-Entropy), Kiana comes in by [[DynamicEntry dive-kicking him from above]] and goes to fight him with her new White Comet outfit, but not before lifting Mei in a BridalCarry and proclaiming that "your knight has come to save the princess".
** In Ch. 13, she goes into the Heliopolis building to discover some Schicksal Valkyries being weakened, then she defends them from incoming zombies. Then they tell Kiana about Rita being in trouble, and the former goes to find her, relieved that Rita trusted her earlier words and info. The two then cut their way out of the building through many zombies, and eventually escape.
** In ch. 17, when Mei is having problems fighting Quantum Shadows, Kiana and Benares comes to her rescue.

** In ch. 17, when she and Mei walks around in the ruins of Nagazora, she asks Mei if she remembers the time when they were traveling through the city. Mei jokingly answers with how Kiana just couldn't stop talking about food and how she was starving.
* BigNo: Kiana does this scream in Chapter 11's [[AlternateUniverse World 3]] when [[spoiler:Mei is suddenly killed]].

-->'''Kiana:''' Textbooks are made by the most boring people on earth.

** The scene in Chapter 8 where [[spoiler:Herrscher of the Void gives Mei a NeckLift]] is one to one scene in the ''Moon Shadow'' comic, where "corrupted Kiana" did the same thing. Then it gets referenced again in ch. 17, but this time [[spoiler:it's Herrscher Mei that does it to Kiana]].
** Her situation with Himeko in ch. 9, 11-EX, and the "Meteoric Salvation" video is one to [[spoiler:Fu Hua's backstory with her old captain back then, the Previous Era version of Himeko]]. To be specific: [[spoiler:both had their mentors die in front of them, then they went through depression until they awakened their resolve to live and fight following their teacher's lessons, after which they became hardened and mature, and able to access the hidden powers inside them. The contrast is in how Fu Hua's Himeko became the Herrscher of Flame and was killed by her comrade, Kevin Kaslana, while Kiana's Himeko indirectly uses the "old" Himeko's power in order to bring Kiana - who's overtaken by the Herrscher of the Void - to her normal self, dying in the process.]]
** The "Shattered Samsara" video (at the end of ch. 22) has Kiana trying to save Fu Hua from sacrificing herself to stop [[spoiler:the threat of Herrscher of Sentience]]. It's a reference to 2 things: ch. 11-EX where Fu Hua stopped Kiana from killing herself [[spoiler:to stop the threat of Herrscher of the Void]], and her past with Mei in Chiba Academy where Kiana stopped Mei from jumping off a tall building [[spoiler:to stop the threat of her Herrscher self]]. The video also gives the scene of TakeMyHand not unlike what happened between Kiana and Mei.

--->'''Mei:''' I can hardly find the right word for this change, and I can't even say that she has simply grown up. She has always been loud and restless. From the day we first met, I never knew she could be quiet or patient. [[EndearinglyDorky She was surely a trouble maker, but I always found her weirdly reassuring]]. Now I can't say the same... I have to wonder what miseries she has been through... anything could've happened in the past 4 months.

** From chapter 23 to 24, after she tried isolating herself for several chapters because she feels [[IAmAMonster she'll bring harm to her closest ones if she stays with them]], she starts to get close and slowly rely on her closest people again; it helps that they also believe in her and care for her. Then in chapter 25, this culminates in her believing that [[YouAreNotAlone she's never alone]] as her closest people, their kindness towards her, and her good memories with them are always with her. Combined with the conflict with the Herrscher of Domination and how they only focus on humanity's negative qualities, this gives her her AntiNihilist belief that while some things in the world may be ugly, she will strive to [[TagLine fight for all that is beautiful in the world]] - and to her, that includes all the beautiful things she has experienced throughout her life, courtesy of her closest people.

** In Kiana's 2019 birthday event, her eyes turn into WingdingEyes with 4-pointed white stars as the Captain gives her a bag of fried chicken. The same eye design shows up later in actual story, in the "Meteoric Salvation" video - [[spoiler:it signifies her control of Herrscher of the Void's full power]].

'''Kiana:''' To be honest, I was quite scared. [[HesitantSacrifice I trembled at the thought of death]]. But [[TiredOfRunning I refuse to run away from danger...]] I'll do what I can and take responsibility for this... [[MustMakeAmends This is the only way I can seek atonement from the people I've hurt...]] and from Miss Himeko.

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: An unusual case, as she contrasts with her ''previous incarnation'' from ''Gun Girl Z''. GGZ!Kiana was sassy, sarcastic, constantly sported a smug smile and was quite knowledgeable about Honkai from the get-go. [=HI3=]!Kiana starts off as a gluttonous GenkiGirl and a dunce [[BookDumb who has to be explained what she’s already supposed to know by her seniors.]]

** In ch. 14, Kiana tried attacking Raven after sabotaging her convoy, but she ends up defeated. Raven and her comrade Jackal then have a talk about what to do with her; the former [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim wants her dead then and there]], but the latter wants her alive as she wants to experiment on Kiana, [[spoiler:a live Herrscher]]. The hooded lady then tells some of her troops to carry Kiana away to their base, and for the rest of them to continue their current objective. Later, however, it turns out that she was just CapturedOnPurpose - despite being weakened and then put in torturous experiments by Jackal, it turns out Kiana can resist everything the masked lady throws at her, and later smashes her way out of her PeopleJars with ease. [[PlayAlongPrisoner She only acts like she's hurt for long enough]] so that she can squeeze infos from Jackal regarding their group's plan of [[spoiler:experimenting on people of Arc City, with their "Project Stigma"]].

* DashAttack: [[spoiler:Herrscher of Flamescion's grounded branch attack in Herrscher Mode has her jumping back, then dashing towards her enemy before performing a wide slash with her blade. This leaves her airborne afterwards, allowing her to continue to an air combo. In the air and during Herrscher Mode, pressing attack button after the evasion button will make her do a dashing stab attack, which is helpful for reaching distant enemies.]]

* EnemyMine: Downplayed. In ch. 13, Rita and her Valkyrie squad ambushes her, but after the battle, Kiana has a brief talk with Rita about how they're both trying to save Arc City. Kiana convinces Rita that she's not the cause of the Honkai outbreak and gives her a glass tube and an access card, cluing Rita on the true nature of Heliopolis. Later in the chapter Kiana goes out of her way to save Rita even though her initial intent was to use Rita as a means of infiltrating Heliopolis herself.
* EnergyAbsorption: Ch. 15 has Otto mention that when Kiana detonated the Honkai bomb at the edge of the atmosphere (in the previous chapter), the Honkai energy did not dissipate - instead, Kiana took it all into her body [[spoiler:with her powers as a Herrscher]].

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: By virtue of having the 2nd Herrscher's core inside her body, Kiana gets a Herrscher side that's awakened at the end of Chapter 8, courtesy of Otto from the previous chapter. She aims for humanity's destruction as a "Honkai agent" and she's much more powerful than her regular self. Chapter 9 shows that this evil side is specifically Sirin's consciousness, brought out from the Herrscher core inside Kiana's body. [[spoiler: Subverted in the sense that she isn't necessarily stronger than Kiana, just having full access to the Void powers, much more experience and lacks any moral restraints Kiana has.]]

->''"...It sure isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but there are people who taught me to never give up. They've been guiding me and showing me all the beautiful things in this world."''\\\

* CompositeCharacter: In Everlasting Flames [[spoiler:her Herrscher of Flamescion battlesuit includes elements of multiple previous costumes, including the three floating spikes from Sirin's Herrscher of the Void battlesuit, the crown motif from Bronya's Herrscher of Reason battlesuit on the band tying up her ponytail, metal bracers mirroring those from Fu Hua's Phoenix battlesuit, and a tattered cape similar to the one from Himeko's Vermilion Knight - Eclipse. Its design and color scheme resembles Theresa's Celestial Hymn, sans the veil. Gameplay-wise, she's a fusion of Hua (2 attack buttons), Himeko's Vermilion Knight (Flame battlesuit that uses a greatsword, has an {{Overheating}} system tied to her combo attacks and ultimate), and an APHO character.]]

The wrath of Sirin, the second Herrscher, whose spirit Otto Apocalypse implanted into "K-423"'s artificial body in hopes of awakening the second Herrscher once more. His plan "succeeds" at the end of chapter 8, when the Void Queen takes control of Kiana's body and fully awakens as the Herrscher of the Void once more.\\

* NoTrueScotsman: When confronting Kiana she keeps coming up with all manner of new reasons why Kiana is a fake, unlike her as Sirin reborn, [[spoiler:as the Void Queen doesn't want to acknowledge that Kiana is Sirin as well, and that Sirin's wishes for happiness and family as represented by Kiana are perhaps stronger than Sirin's hatred as represented by her.]]

* MadeOfEvil: As [[spoiler:the dark side of Sirin]], she is [[spoiler:all of Sirin's hatred, rage, and loathing of mankind personified, with no trace of anything resembling warmth, compassion, or empathy aside from the affection she shows for Benares.]]

* SplitPersonality: As revealed in the epilogue of the 2nd Eruption manga, the Herrscher of the Void is not Sirin's ghost possessing Kiana, but a part of Kiana herself. [[spoiler:Or rather, Kiana and the Void Queen are BOTH Sirin, who reincarnated into the otherwise EmptyShell of the K-423 clone and split into two opposing personalities due to Sirin's warring feelings for the world: Kiana is Sirin's innocent desire to have a fresh start as Cecilia's daughter, while the Void Queen is Sirin's enduring OmnicidalManiac hatred, born of Honkai corruption and the suffering other humans put her through.]]

* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:In the end of Chapter 8, after the boss fight against "Herrscher Kiana" in the end, her mind starts taking over Kiana's, making her "alive" again. She's presumed to be gone after the fight with Himeko in the end of Chapter 9, but it's not made obvious - until ch. 11-EX, where it's shown that she's still alive inside Kiana, and tries to take over her body again. She's thwarted in the end by Fu Hua, but she notes that Sirin may resurface again in the future.]]

The hatred of Sirin, the second Herrscher, whose spirit Otto Apocalypse implanted into "K-423"'s artificial body in hopes of awakening the second Herrscher once more. His plan "succeeds" at the end of chapter 8, when the Void Queen fully takes control of Kiana's body and fully awakens as the Herrscher of the Void once more.\\

The spirit of Sirin, the second Herrscher, that Otto Apocalypse implanted into "K-423"'s artificial body in the hope of awakening it when she would grow up. His plan "succeeds" at the end of chapter 8, wherein Sirin fully takes control of Kiana's body and wreaks havoc as the Herrscher of the Void.\\

She's playable as the awakened suit (S rank BIO type) of Knight Moonbeam. Her signature weapon is Keys of the Void[[note]]pri-arm: Domain of the Void[[/note]].\\
