[Honkai: Star Rail] Can a Masked Fool Fall for an Imaginary Friend?

Yulia is an ordinary masked Fool at the tavern.

Her father, mother, and older brother are all Mournful Actors, as are most of the people who gather around them. So in the past, she was naturally one of the Mournful Actors too.

The family who adopted her believed in asceticism and practiced what they preached. Naturally, she did the same.

“Ha!”

Yulia rolled her eyes, then burst out laughing into the night.

She left Gondola.

It went very smoothly.

No one had expected her to run away from home, so they were completely unprepared.

After all...

“That child is so well-behaved and devout. How could she betray our faith and sneak off all alone?” Everyone who knew Yulia said the same thing.

Yulia likes smiles, especially children’s smiles.

So, taking the words on a poster she passed on the street as her inspiration, she gave herself a new name, buried the name that represented anti-hedonism in the dust of the past, and became a wandering magician.

Later, she received an invitation from the tavern at the end of the world and became one of its regulars.

One day, she can be arm in arm with Huahuo, stirring up trouble everywhere and making the people they prank grit their teeth in hatred. The next, she can accept Qiaowani’s invitation to develop a game with him, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone who plays it.

One day, she suddenly comes down with “delusions,” gaining an adorable, considerate “imaginary friend.” Later, she meets that person in real life and stages a gender-swapped version of “the hero rescuing the beauty.”

By the Aeon of Elation, I think I’ve fallen in love.

*Not a lore expert. Lots of headcanon, some OOC moments, and original characters besides the heroine.
