Rappa revealed as a playable character for Honkai Star Rail 2.6

As per the official announcement post, Rappa will join the Path of Erudition character roster in Honkai Star Rail 2.6. According to the announcement, she is from Penacony, which means the Trailblazer will be heading there in version 2.6. The Trailblazer, therefore, will surely have some involvement with the planet.

In the Drip marketing post, Rappa is described as a peculiar girl from Penacony who shines like a flashbang during the darkest hour of the night. Additionally, she claims to be a ninja who can be seen doing what most ninjas do, making Ninja seals, reciting ninja mantras, mastering ninja techniques, and more.

Apart from being a ninja, Rappa is also a member of the Galaxy Rangers, who are in pursuit of an Evil Ninja, Osaru. The Honkai Star Rail 2.6 Drip Marketing post describes Rappa as:

“With stars above, everywhere doth evil lurks! Under the witness of the solemn skyscraper, recite your final words – ‘three gunshots’ – the winner has been decided. My Cosmic ninjutsu methods are ever-changing. Better luck next time.. in your next life.”
