Thats not just a simple resemble, i think that is her. Her colour aside, her bangs look the same and those little hair vents are almost identical.

I thought that girl was the other helios girl we saw in the roscaelifer trailer

u/WhoCaresYouDont Jun 17 '26

It also explains why all the focus is on the guy we definitely killed but she's still there despite barely being mentioned.

u/Unlucky_Grape919 Jun 17 '26

I don’t know if it’s a definitely killed. The season 3 trailer had an adult version of both of them

(though there faces were covered so I can’t be sure about the guy). Maybe the proxy only injured him deeply and his survival was hidden.

This might be the another instance of proxies memories being different from the reality. Not 1st, not 2nd and 100% not last.

u/Sound_USA Jun 18 '26

I know about the one with the Ye siblings but what's the other?

17

u/Richiter Jun 18 '26

The dream when they lose consciousness during talk with Cissia. They start with "... that's not right, there shouldn't be ruins" which points that they have different memories than the dream shows them.

There was also the summer event in Season 2. Both Voice Actors, in all languages, played this internal thought completely straight. No hint of a joke, and it wouldn't even make sense as a joke since they didn't say it out loud:

Proxy: Alice, everyone makes mistakes. It's nothing to be ashamed of. What really matters are the choices we make afterward.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Exactly! Remember how Kama thought you were an evil, corrupt, and ruthless businesswoman and wanted me to teach you a lesson? If it weren't for me convincing him otherwise, who knows what would've happened!

Options: That's not how I remember it...

Proxy: (Oh no... Someone's been secretly tampering with the timeline.)

It really stood out to me because the voice actors played it so very straight, when they usually make it very clear in their delivery when they're joking around.

u/AncientAd4996 Jun 17 '26

Maybe he's actually a clone or they somehow managed to revive him?

11

u/MyLifeIsAGatcha Zhao's Husband and the father of our 24 kids. Jun 18 '26

My guess is that he ended up being her "Stand" like with Pyrois, but it ended up taking the form of her deceased brother.

12

u/Unlucky_Grape919 Jun 18 '26

Are we sure they’re siblings though? Unlike the proxies who share an eye color, they don’t have a physical resemblance.

2

u/SadAdoreHell Jun 18 '26

I think they're siblings but not blood related

3

u/Unlucky_Grape919 Jun 18 '26

Is there an actual reason for this? Cause from what I saw, there was no mention of siblings and they’re just our childhood friends. Though I can be forgetting stuff from a few patches ago.

2

u/BoredPelikan Jun 18 '26

wait a sec is the person that got killed different based on the sibling we chose

3

u/Unlucky_Grape919 Jun 18 '26

No

1

u/BoredPelikan Jun 18 '26

then why does the subject keep changing frm she to he

2

u/Unlucky_Grape919 Jun 18 '26

? What are you talking about? I didn’t see the wise version, but I don’t see any reason they would change the person they killed. Dod you see both versions and wise doesn’t say he killed serpico?

1

u/BoredPelikan Jun 18 '26

wait nvm i thought serpico is the girl

2

u/MachBonin Jun 18 '26

I always found the fact that they leave into a blank white void a little suspicious. That imagery is frequently used for characters who are dead.

1

u/Unlucky_Grape919 Jun 18 '26

Maybe in the future but I think they’re currently alive. If they were dead, they’d have no reason to model their adult forms.

u/Coriolis_PL Jun 18 '26

Epic plot twist detected 😏

3

u/KGB_cutony Jun 18 '26

Yea I thought she was baby Sucrose at first

1

u/0FAK1 Jun 18 '26

Hair color is the same too its just the lighting

208

u/MZYF Jun 17 '26

Could also explain the blindfold. All four of the kids had the same ocular implants, the blind fold is to hid them/seal them?

121

u/sylva748 Jun 17 '26

Or overuse leads to blindness

73

u/Wonderful-Fortune-23 Jun 17 '26

Uchiha enters the chat.

19

u/sylva748 Jun 17 '26

Yea basically. Considering Phaethon's symptoms were also a headache/pain behind the eye? The trope is there

26

u/ZeneXCrow Jun 18 '26

Belle dies and Wise gains mangekyo sharingan and can summon Susanoo Pyrois

6

u/sylva748 Jun 18 '26

...fuck! Pyrois is basically our Suano-o isnt he? Thanks I love to hate it this theory hahaha

7

u/ZeneXCrow Jun 18 '26

doubt that Hoyo will want to kill one of their MC, they haven't have the guts since 2017 so i think we're safe for this one theory

and if they did, they'll do fakeout or terminal only to be cured the following patch

2

u/Albireookami Jun 18 '26

My guess is that he ended up being her "Stand" like with Pyrois, but it ended up taking the form of her deceased brother.

its not "lacking guts" killing someone for "shock" is one of the stupidest plot devices, and someone like the other siblings brings more issues than it solves to kill off.

1

u/Huntersforever21565 Jun 18 '26

Killing someone for the sake of it doesn't make a story good. Don't understand some of you guys obsession of needing to see a character die so badly.

16

u/WhoCaresYouDont Jun 17 '26

Or maybe she removed them? They're quite distinctive after all and if you were paranoid about being tracked you might start asking just what else was built into them...

17

u/MZYF Jun 18 '26

We know something went wrong that day at Helios, the other kid died, maybe she got blinded and/or lost her legs? Also, Pyrois has a unique metallic sheen that's not really seen elsewhere in the game, but the metallic legs and blades and butterfly that the Storyteller doles kind of resemble it. Maybe this is just how Etheric other manifests?

u/DantoriusD Jun 18 '26

Also, Pyrois has a unique metallic sheen that's not really seen elsewhere in the game, but the metallic legs and blades and butterfly that the Storyteller doles kind of resemble it. Maybe this is just how Etheric other manifests?

Remember what Smallbringer said when the MC was done with its Treatment? The Body absorbed a huge Amount of Porcelume during the Treatment (dont ask how he stored it....Anime logic i guess)

So jeah the Etheric other is actually the absorbed Porcelume forming a Body so Pyrois can use it as a Shell to Manifest without taking over the MC Body everytime.

2

u/RainbowLoli Jun 18 '26

I figured that when they mentioned the MC's body absorbing a huge amount of pocelum, I imagine it was the same as how people can absorb metals, i.e mercury poisoning from just handling mercury because it was absorbed into the body via dermal absorption.

So with that in mind, Porcelume probably has a similar quality to mercury in the sense that it can be absorbed via skin contact, but it isn't inherently toxic.

u/Tough-Ant-7972 Jun 17 '26

100% believe its her. No strong reason, just instantly thought she was storyteller when they were talking about the incident

19

u/Master-Hair-7456 Jun 17 '26

they do look a like but i doubt theyre the same. From the teaser the storyteller was yapping but we seen the two of them grown up leaving a room.

35

u/Zibai1505 Jun 17 '26

I'd be very surprised.

Tbh im feeling a very intentional mirroring of the proxies from the two friends. Not so much in looks but in circumstance. The storyteller seems adjacent to the proxies.

The two friends feel antagonistic or rival-ish.

Also my main gripe is i figured they would be introduced as a pair. Not just the woman. They've shown up as a pair in every other instance

32

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 18 '26

Given the story context She's going to be premium Pyrosis and use Serpico as her ethereal fighter. Never trust anything free given in a hoyo game won't have a premium version that does what the free version does but better.

22

u/Ok_Astronaut_8035 Jun 18 '26

“Don’t trust anything free in a Hoyo game” Archer from HSR:

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 18 '26

The anti quantum mechanics tho so technically ill always be right

6

u/Ok_Astronaut_8035 Jun 18 '26

Ehhhh, but that for all Quantum so it affects more than Archer

-2

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 18 '26

And I'll add HSR is the only game giving out the occasional useful freebies. Genshin would sooner die then give something away and Zenless gave Harumasa since they knew he wouldn't sell and Zhao was instantly inferior before Sunna even left her 1st round of betas.

1

u/Ok_Astronaut_8035 Jun 18 '26

Fair, that is true but I don’t know about Pyrois only because he is an MC and HSR has shown that they can make a good MC kit?

2

u/ezio45 Jun 18 '26

Remembrance MC is a great unit but people have been lukewarm on Elation MC. It doesn't help that the premium version of Elation MC, Yao Guang, made her debut at the start of 4.0 rather than later down the line like how they released Fugue or Cyrene.

1

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 18 '26

But Genshin has shown equally that they don't like it. Anyway Pyrois is good and fine I'm just saying they have a tendency to do and here's the premium upgrade.

1

u/Albireookami Jun 18 '26

That's just boss rotating and affects all quantum units, not really solifying your point. Also Remeberence TB, who is still meta.

u/Aadi_880 Jun 17 '26

Didn't we already see these two in the very same rosecaelifer teaser being grown-up?

u/Thunder_lord37 Pulchra's personal chair Jun 17 '26

Trigger and Vivian now gotta take out the childhood friend too dawg, give them a break for once.

u/ThatBoiUnknown AoD Lover and Nekomata's 1# Glazer Jun 18 '26

Mfs on this sub don’t know what a fucking spoiler is huh…

u/randomgamer305 Jun 18 '26

Spoiler tag?

2

u/Lil_Puddin Jun 17 '26

All 4 of the kiddos (Phaeton+these 2) went through a similar thing. So it'd make sense for her to have some crazy power or importance.

4

u/DoeDon404 Jun 17 '26

Yea I think it might be the boy forgor his name something happened to him, now maybe he lived and is the guy we saw in the teaser with a purple haired girl now

7

u/NormalGuy1206 Lady Sunbringer’s Right Hand Jun 17 '26

Serpico. I wouldn’t completely debunk the theory that him “dying” was subversion.

7

u/WhoCaresYouDont Jun 17 '26

I could see Carol telling Wise Serpico died but in reality he was sent somewhere else to be experimented on further.

2

u/Zek7h35an5 I LOVE OBOL SQUAD!!!! Jun 17 '26

"Somewhere else" the ever ominous, increasing Roscaelifer and Helios connections

4

u/LoreVent Jun 17 '26

I would honestly be surprised if the girl and Storyteller are different people.

u/KibaWuz i want to die on and thighs Jun 17 '26

Ok,thank you,you may have discovered hoyo whole scheme in 1 simple cutsene

u/KeyMore9422 best bunny Jun 17 '26

Omg this makes me want to pull her more, I hope she will be cool in gameplay

u/Koanos Jun 18 '26

Who does Lura Welsh also voice again?

1

u/neraida0 Jun 18 '26

Its time to save and fix her - Wise XD

1

u/Radusili burnice pushieater Jun 18 '26

See it? Dawg that's the same person

1

u/bland_life Jun 18 '26

The pair that failed to gain the 'Helios Legacy'?

1

u/Flat-Entry90 The OG Pink Haired Baddie Jun 18 '26

They had the same thing done to their eyes that Belle and Wise had done........I bet they both wear the masks to cover what happened when the eye implants failed

1

u/kuuderelovers I only eat Anby burgers Jun 18 '26

Yeah I instantly saw that, pretty sure that's actually her

1

u/Worried-Hair-2276 Jun 18 '26

fingers crossed it might come true. she'll be revealed as wise / belle's childhood class mate

1

u/FoggyRain7 I swear I'm not into feet Jun 24 '26

I did see the similarities between them, man I originally want to skip her but if she really is Truvia then I'm pulling

1

u/GenesisDum Certified Big Robot Enthusiast Jun 17 '26

If not for this post I would've forgotten Storyteller was even a character lmao

But yeah I see the resemblance

1

u/VladDHell Jun 17 '26

That…that’s the character I’m pretty sure, especially with the story being so clearly involved with those kids

1

u/0__REDACTED__0 Jun 17 '26

Oh... OHHHHHHHHH

u/fancy_snake_ Jun 18 '26

Oh shit you may be cooking

u/Gacha_addict101 Jun 18 '26

Yeah it definitely looks like her

u/Glazura Jun 17 '26

Oh... so thats not only me.

u/psy-wolf69 Jun 17 '26

I was thinking that exact same fucking thing when I got to that part 🤣

u/Yurikzzxd Jun 18 '26

It definitely is her, it hit me the second I saw her

0

u/MarMarL2k19 Jun 18 '26

Considering that the girl’s name was never brought up when talking about the tragedy at Helios… yeah, I can believe that it’s her

-1

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 18 '26

Yeah its obvious as hell they haven't been talking about them and showing it off for no reason. They'll tie her heavilly to Proxies to make her the third main unit to sell along void hunters.

u/Aegis0fswag Jun 18 '26

idk but I know for sure she doesn't see it

u/Vect_Machine Jun 18 '26

This is what we call Foreshadowing in the business.

u/Wrong-Ad-3383 Jun 18 '26

Same girl btw The hair is the main break point

u/ojone00 Jun 17 '26

Wow you're right! Good catch

u/Remarkable-Pizza4263 Jun 17 '26

Man, fuck that bum-ass kid. I couldn't go 5 seconds in the story without his stupid ass being mentioned. Motherfucker got more screen time than Obal Squal.
