Version 3.7 finally brings Cyrene to the roster, and with it a familiar debate: is “Cyrene” just a mask for another name? The patch answers part of that question by putting her profile, titles, and availability on the record — and leaves the most popular fan theory unconfirmed.
What is officially on Cyrene’s profile in 3.7
- Combat role: 5-star Ice unit on the Path of Remembrance (with Remembrance simulated in-lore and Destruction tied to her backstory).
- World and factions: Amphoreus; linked to the Chrysos Heirs (formerly), Aedes Elysiae, Janusopolis, and the Pure Children of Anāsrava.
- Nature: a memetic entity who first appears as the Trailblazer’s Memosprite before assuming a full form.
- Additional names and epithets: “PhiLia093,” “Demiurge,” and “Amphoreus’s Heart,” alongside titles such as Priest of Time, Daughter of Aedes Elysiae, Veil of Evernight, and Flawless Ego.
- Status (story spoiler): fell inactive following the demise of Scepter δ‑me13.
In the game’s own words, she asks you to “call me ‘Cyrene.’” That’s the name used across her banner, character page, and voice lines in version 3.7.
Is Cyrene’s “real name” Elysia?
No canonical reveal in 3.7 states that Cyrene’s legal or original name is “Elysia.” The character’s official identifiers list multiple codenames and titles, and none of them replace or supersede “Cyrene” in-game. The closest on-record reference is “Daughter of Aedes Elysiae” — a direct tie to a place and figure in Amphoreus’ lore, not a rename.
Why the confusion persists:
- Visual and thematic echoes: Cyrene reads as a deliberate parallel to a pink-haired icon from another HoYoverse title, and is widely discussed as an expy. Parallels aren’t a canonical identity swap.
- Name resonance: “Elysia” and “Elysiae” sound similar, but in 3.7 “Elysiae” is used in-world as a proper noun tied to Amphoreus, not as Cyrene’s personal name.
Bottom line: in Honkai Star Rail 3.7, the character is canonically presented as Cyrene, with known aliases like “PhiLia093” and “Demiurge.” “Elysia” remains a fan reading, not a stated identity.
Names and identities Cyrene uses in the story
- Cyrene: her chosen and presented name when playable and in dialogue.
- Mem: the Trailblazer’s Memosprite form she initially inhabits before taking a full body.
- PhiLia093: a log/instrumentation handle surfaced in story records.
- Demiurge / Amphoreus’s Heart: honorifics that describe function and origin rather than a personal rename.
These labels map to roles she plays across Amphoreus’ cycles — observer, recorder, and participant — and help explain why she carries multiple tags without discarding “Cyrene.”
How version 3.7 frames Cyrene’s identity in combat
Cyrene’s kit leans into remembrance and record-keeping as gameplay. She accumulates a resource called Recollection to trigger pivotal moments, stabilizes fights with a persistent Zone, and co-acts with a Memosprite that looks like her and cannot be targeted. Once her first Ultimate is online, she enters a long-haul state that upgrades her basics and lets the Memosprite take extra turns to buff allies or deliver area damage.
- Team context: she supplies broad damage boosts to any team, but has bespoke support effects for the Chrysos Heirs list, reinforcing her Amphoreus ties.
- Rhythm: slow start, then sustained control — matching her narrative as a keeper of cycles who turns memory into momentum.
None of these mechanics introduce a new “true name”; they reinforce that the character you build and play is Cyrene, with her aliases functioning as lore scaffolding.

If you’re coming to 3.7 looking for a hard reveal, the text on the page is the answer: she is Cyrene. The character knowingly plays with echoes and memory — that’s part of the appeal — but the patch keeps those echoes as allusions, not a legal rename. If you plan to pull, the window is set; if you’re here for the lore, the names you can rely on are already in her profile.
