Hanya is expected to release in Honkai Star Rail 1.5

According to the official tweet, Hanya is one of the judges of the Ten-Lords Commission that functions in Xianahou Luofu, outside the boundaries of the faction’s alliance. Also known as the Supervisory Authority, they uphold detention, imprisonment, punishment, and interrogation as their primary duties, and Hnaya is charged with the last task.

It appears that she specializes in reading the karma and sins of mara-strucks. With that, she records their crimes and punishments with the Oracle Brush. She has further shared her experience as follows:

“Using dreams to analyze the sins of the mara-struck is like touching a vine with thorns — it doesn't hurt as much when your fingers become numb.”

Hanya uses her dreams to predict karmic offenses while also enduring copious amounts of information regarding the mara-strucks’ deed. Due to this, she has become dull at all times, excluding the moments when she operates with Xueyi, her sister and fellow judge.
