Who is the Pure Child of Anasrava in Honkai Star Rail (HSR)

Honkai Star Rail 3.6 has dropped, and it brings a ton of lore to the table, specifically on the creation of Amphoreus and the beloved trio of the Astral Express crew. The main highlight of the story was none other than Evernight, the split protective personality of March 7th. During the Trailblazing mission, Evernight mentions the Pure Child of Anāsrava, which holds massive significance in the overarching lore of HSR. So, what or who is Pure Child of Anāsrava in Honkai Star Rail? We have answered that here!

Who is the Pure Child of Anasrava in Honkai Star Rail?

March 7th is the Pure Child of Anāsrava in Honkai Star Rail, according to Evernight. During the Honkai Star Rail 3.6 mission, we see March 7th encased in ice as Evernight calls her a Pure Child of Anāsrava. Evernight asks March 7th to wipe this name from her mind, following it up by calling The Garden of Recollection the enemy.

What Does Pure Child of Anasrava Mean in HSR?

To understand the meaning of Pure Child of Anāsrava, we need to first understand what Anāsrava means. Anāsrava is another name for Remembrance in Honkai Star Rail. The word itself comes from a Sanskrit term meaning ‘Untainted’ or ‘Devoid of Karmic Influx’. This perfectly fits with the Remembrance path in HSR, which is said to be devoid of biases and only exists to record everything as it is, a collection of memories.

Fuli, the Aeon of Remembrance, is referred to as the Master of Anāsrava in Honkai Star Rail. This makes sense as Fuli is Remembrance itself. Now, a Pure Child of Anāsrava can only mean a child born out of the Remembrance.

When put into context, especially after the ‘Dear March Trailer‘, the child of Remembrance can be called the child of Fuli. Now, Aeons don’t reproduce like normal beings, so the child in this sense means born out of the Aeon. This theory is further cemented as we have already learned that March 7th was born from the shattered Luminflux of Fuli.

So, what does all of this mean? It essentially means that March 7th is an Emanator of Remembrance. However, she is suppressing her own memory to appear as such to avoid the gaze of the Garden of Recollection. We don’t know exactly why she is hiding from them, but it likely connects to Fuli’s secret in some way.

Are There More Pure Children of Anasrava?

One of the popular beliefs in the Honkai Star Rail community is that Fuli, Aeon of Remembrance, is long dead. It is only the memory of Fuli that keeps it as the Aeon, which kind of fits with the entire memory collection narrative. In the Dear March 7th trailer, we see Fuli break into pieces of Luminflux, while March 7th appears in one of the shattered pieces.

In Honkai Star Rail 3.6, when the Pure Child of Anāsrava is mentioned by Evernight, we not only see March 7th encased in ice, but another figure as well. This figure looked incredibly similar to Cyrene, who is already suspected as another Emanator of Remembrance.

So, we can make an educated guess that Cyrene is also a Pure Child of Anāsrava, likely born out of each broken piece of Fuli’s Luminflux. This entire concept wouldn’t have been introduced if they didn’t plan to use it further with Cyrene’s story at the very end.
