Trailblazer
Trailblazer (開拓者) is the player protagonist of Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoverse’s space-fantasy RPG centered on traveling between worlds and following the Trailblaze aboard the Astral Express. Players choose a male or female Trailblazer at the beginning of the journey, and official merchandise likewise treats them as Trailblazer (Male) and Trailblazer (Female).
Their neutral grey, black and gold visual design connects them closely to the Astral Express, Pom-Pom and the wider journey across the game’s different worlds. Unlike characters with one fixed combat identity, the Trailblazer evolves throughout the story, making different Paths, weapons and story eras especially relevant for collectors.
