Aglaea is one of the most interesting Chrysos Heirs we meet in Amphoreus. Despite being a hero, she still has certain thoughts about her position as a leader among the Chrysos Heirs. her attitude towards Trailblazer seems cold at first, but we learn the truth afterwards. Despite this, does she still retain her humanity among the heroes and what does she contribute to the prophecy? Let's look at the reasons behind her behaviors and her future in the story of Amphoreus. I hope you enjoy the video :D

Named after one of Aprodite's handmaidens, designed like Aphrodite but fights like Athena
Aphrodite Ariea core
Weaves garments like how Clotho weaves life
tbh she reminds me of medea alot, ig its the golden threads and the air of tragedy
@@extra.emo.cheeto they seem to be combining a lot of mythical women into one with Aglaea, so that's probably also one as well
@ yeah I noticed i really like that.
The fact that Aglaea had to be so strict with herself and others that she became a cruel and cold demigod made me feel sympathize for her
Yeah, working for the golden future that holds no place for you is a feat in itself
and is slowly losing her humanity to the point where tribbie said that she doesn't believe in humanity's altruism
Aglaea carries the Coreflame of Romance yet she's the furthest from Romance. That's the duality of her character, beautiful and romantic yet cold and ruthless.
@@wongo6828 just like Aphrodite ehh
She’s how I'm expecting the Tsaritsa to be like (Archon of Love and all)
@@wongo6828 she nothing romantic lol, these Aglaea simp man
greek tragedy heh
After the amphoreus arc is done i really wanna see her and argenti just having along conversation about what beauty means
That'd be so dope
I agreed. I am waiting for this as well. The 2 goats of beuaty chating about what realy matters for them. THIS WILL BE BEAUTIFUL!
@@falun3180 I can see Argenti believing Aglaea is Idrila
The thing about romance is one of the key aspects that many people would overlook; the trust and belief in others, being romantic is not being all lovey-dovey. It's one's ability to find wonder and expression of emotion. Aglaea is cautious, cold, calculative and isn't easily persuade in the words of strangers, but only the select few she trusts. So probably down her path, she lost all of that romanticism aspects that defines her core flame. It's one of the reasons she can only see through the strings between the wind, because why you need words and confirmation when you can just trust the strings pluck from the air, yet you still doubt their intentions.
Aphrodite is calculated if she wants to as long it falls in line with her matchmaking interests. (Anyone knows what happened with Helan of Troy or any shenanigans with her knows this)
she has the qualities of a good leader--stern, fierce, and unforgiving towards threats to the ones she protects. especially at the ending of their world, she rose to the challenge, prepared to lose anything for the future she envisions
"akin to a spider web"
I just notices that Aglaea has similarities with Kafka
- Their eyes are very much alike, only difference is the color
- They both follow something that involves an end or prophecy of some sorts; Kafka follows Elio's "Script" which is related to the finality and Aglaea follows the prophecy of Amphoreus
- They both have abilities that are akin to a "spider's web"; we know Kakfa has an ability to control someone, and Aglaea uses her string to connect with other people
- They both have a strong sense of fashion; Aglaea being a dress maker, and through one of Silverwolf and Firefly it is implied that Kafka also enjoys fashionable items as Firefly thinks of a gift for her
- They are both skilled with a one handed sword, uses the lightning element
Kafka's eyes do look different when she's being interrogated by Fu Xuan though. I think she wears contacts that give her some kind of power.
@@wolfofsummerbreezeshe just wear it for fashion
@@wolfofsummerbreeze Yeah, tho we don't have anymore cases where she has "normal" eyes, I just thought its a result of Fu Xuan using her power on Kafka
@@dajcsm3389 the eyes change when she's using mind manipulation
@@dajcsm3389 Kafka's line when you "go back to town" so to speak, is: "Is that a stain? Tsk, I liked this coat."
The delivery of which, to me, sounds very much like she's into fashion to some degree. The way she's presented too, comes across as someone fashion oriented to me.
I always get emotional when someone accepts their fate, especially if it comes to ending one's own happily ever after.
she has too much death flags that its enough to make her a dress 💀 but ngl her dying in the story would probs be very impactful even if its gonna be quite sad
please don't jinx it... i just want them to have a happy ending. atleast in hsr universe
@@rntcjaee3593 Amphoreus isn't real so they can erase her like Misha once her task is done. But the thing is we Traipblazer can Change fate so maybe we Can change Aglea fate to be able to witness Amphoreus future
@@Krmnos the thing is that she's foreshadowing that the future she's building doesn't have a place for her, thus she wouldn't mind dying for that future if that means it'll become real
@@dantepaz5028 its because when crysos heirs finishes the Titans, they will become their replacement and ascend to divinity. Now the prophecy is still not complete, they are still a demigod. After that, they want to remove the Titans/Gods from Amphoreus a.k.a themselves so it wont happen again in the future.
Bruh. Aglea is working for a Beautiful Future she will never see. Her Final Beautiful Masterpiece will be an Amphorous only the future can enjoy but not her nor Tribbie.
This, but you know what kinda irrks me? Is that I'm seeing many players dislikes her for her strong personality while also them failing to understand why she needs to be and wasn't always the case...
Just ignore them, they’re a loud minority, most people like when a character does ride your wee wee nonsensically. The game even had to add padding saying that she wasn’t going to off the trailblazers anyways to satisfy those losers.
You're right people hating on her doesn't have anything to do with her but people themselves. Players in hoyo community can never be satisfied even if you give them a perfect character.
Isn't that good thing? That means hoyo did a good job on making her character
@@Kennyyyeah yeah it's kinda like furina and how hoyo successfully made a lot of people hate her in the first half of Fontaine's quest. Personally, she wasn't really that hostile towards us other than that 'interrogation' scene, I was expecting more since I see more people calling out others hating her than the people actually hating her💀
I took a liking to her because she has flaws. I like when characters are flawed because it makes them feel more human, ironic in this case cuz Aglaea is slowly losing her humanity, that's her biggest flaw. Becoming a cold and ruthless leader just for a better future for Amphoreus.
Before watching this video I think the reason is cause she has too many responsibilities and she is one of the only demi gods so she has to be responsible
And that she has to represent the whole city and i believe she wants to do her best to achieve the future which everyone likes
Always thought that she is the ruler of Okhema, turns out she not really but a council of old folks, hmmm kinda similar to Athens
@@idontspeakjapanese6289 yess
@@idontspeakjapanese6289 I used to think the same
I think there is actually more than tribbie and aglaea that already become demi gods
Not only her "flaw" is in a direct opposition of her core-flame/titan-parent modus-operandi, Aglaea herself is painfully aware of the fact tha she is slowly loosing her ability to emphatize with Amphoreus inhabitants. In that regard, she reminds me of a certain someone who has fascination with a particular brand of wine, on one of the the other worlds of Imaginary Tree (that may, or may not be hidden from denizens of HSR).
I really like how you compiled the story, and the music altogether puts so much emotion into it! Subscribed and liked :)
Good job!
CATWITHBLUEHAT VIDEO ABOUT AGLAEA????? MY DAY IS MADE THANK YOU
You're welcome ♥️
Aglaea being the way she is makes sense when you practically have the fate of a whole city on her shoulders and the fact she tends to be distant is knowing she and Tribbie will not be around to see Amphoreus restored. At least that's what they saw within the prophecy. It also doesn't help that she is constantly at odds with the council of Okhema. She is ruthless and cold because she needs to be.
Here is the problem, Aglaea says Phainon is a Chrysos Heir without flaw like Aglaea who is losing her humanity and Mydei who can't be killed. I fear Phainon also has a flaw that is not as simple as losing his humanity or is simply can't be killed but it's much deeper. We all saw a brief flashback of his time with Cyrene back in Elysia Aeridae and how everyone he cared for was torn away from him along with his home. Mydei knows about it and it's not news to the present Chrysos Heirs either and it was thanks to the Prophecy that he found a purpose outside of blind vengeance. While he is taking a trial to prove his worth and perhaps put the past behind him, CAN HE TRULY DO THAT?! I believe Phainon's flaw could be while he shall be the Deliverer who will bring Amphoreus to a new age, he is unable to truly put his grudges behind him. By that logic, by the time he fulfills his part of the prophecy will he still be the Phainon we know?
That isn’t flaw
It showing he is more human than other chryso heir
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 I mean it could become a flaw where it could affect his judgement down the road when he may witness more instances of downfalls witnessed by human folly much like how it was with Castrum Kremnos.
That’s not really the type of flaw they’re talking about, yeah that could end up causing problems in the future, but she means more “inhuman” flaws like her “immortality” and “loss of emotions” examples suggest. He just might be the most “human” chrysos heir, the way she talks about it makes it seem like being more “human” is a good thing, therefore she calls him “perfect” bc no matter what he goes through he’ll always be first and foremost “human”. Only time will tell if that’s a good or bad thing and if it’s what will cause him to fail.
@@typh2630 That is actually what I mean by flaw. The other Chrysos Heirs we know so far has a flaw that is considered inhuman as you said but sometimes being too human is also problematic.
@@VanishEclipse4867 ofc, I’m just saying those are two different brackets. His flaw might be he’s too human, that’s completely different from the inhuman flaws characteristic of a normal chrysos heir. The exception makes him special and hence “perfect” for divinity, bc that’s what’s being discussed, they’re not saying that he’s overall completely flawless bc even the viewer can tell something isn’t right.
her flaw is that she's british
(it's just a joke, i actually love her the uniqueness of her accent)
She's like Zhongli. Both know things others don't and is seen with a stern face showing no emotion
phainon is without flaws ? I certainly DOUBT that.
Without flaw in here mean his humanity not affected by the flame
Not mean he is a perfect human, because there is no perfect human
Basically, phainon after inherit the flame is the only chryso still remain full humanity
Other chryso will be lack humanity
phainon doesn't have any curse, he's not immortal, he doesn't kill people by being near them, he's literally the perfect chrysos heir, and he doesn't lose his humanity
@@dantepaz5028 And being without flaws of the Divine, simply means that Phaeton is burdened with more mortal flaws
March is one of them, yes? At least I'm guessing she's the body of the supposed heir that got out from Amphoreus somehow and become cute ice cube drifting in the galaxies.
Ngl Aglaea was my least favourite chrysos heir , but after going through the intricacies of her lore , feel a lot of empathy and admiration for her
It’s also weird how the fanbase hates her but praises people like Sunday and Mr Reca…
@@identipathy C'est peut être parce que Aglaé va à l'encontre de la vision féminine dans les gachas ce qui ne plaît pas à certains joueurs juste parce qu'ils n'ont pas une waifu habituelle. J'aime Aglaé parce que c'est ce côté là différent qui rend bien sur le personnage.
She's like the Eichi Tenshouin of Honkai Star Rail.
Focused, Determined, Leader, Blond, Light eyes, Fair skin, gold white themed, can be quite intimidating, is not easily to intimidate, has idealistic vision, gentle voice, cruel and cold.
Uh, i hate Eichi for how long and i dont want Aglaea to be compared with that Emperor.
At very last, Aglaea still have her humanity, even she's not realized or simply ignoring it.
@@sakumarei03she not ignore her humanity
In fact, she try to keep it
But as her flaw, her divinity slowly replace her humanity
so the true beauty that she wanted is to use all her times to craft the future without her efficiently?
I rly want to see her meet with argenti considering they both are all about beauty
More like, she really need to meet the Path of Beauty.
I like her English accent so much
English isn't my native language, but even I noticed her accent, and, gotta say, it suits her well.
Possibly the best character to inherit the accent.
Great Video!!!
I really like you videos, because you tell a lot about lore in an such immersive way. I really like!
But this time I'm not convinced. I understand in dire times, precaution is important, but Aglaea literally receive the Trailblaze and Dan Heng with hospitality, just to betray then soon after.
Phainon show distrust and alert when he saw us for the first time, clearly showing hostility. Thats way when his eases, we can trust him, proving we suparsses the barrier of awereness.
But with Aglaea is not the same, she not show any sign of hostality, may because of the situation we enconter her, but soon after, she explains nothing for us, not even how the city works, then, when the first mistake we made, even is not our fault, she betray us in a instant. This clearly show she's not had any intention of repay our kindness and help.
And thats why (from the perspective of the game) I can't trust her and only despise her, because really hurt when we help someone, just to the same person to stab us in the back.
After reading her character story, she does have kind of a sad past. "She shivers slightly, yet her heart is no longer stirred by the sorrows of the past." Hmmmm
Aglaea saw the beauty of social - geo - political engineering for sure.
Her goldenweb is the infrastructure of Okhema version of internet
Honestly Phainon’s flaw is that behind all that smile and happy vibe, he is full of anger and vengeance. He just can’t put it behind him, in his flashback he even said he doesn’t want to be hero. I feel like people’s expectation of him as the perfect chrysos heir will become a major flaw in the future.
All this talk of a golden future and just trying to ensure the survival of Aglaea's people even if she doesn't get to see it is reminding me a lot of Dune in a sense.
And then Kafka comes
Kafka: It's all part of the script
Aglaea:Script?
Firefly:Set the seas (Water of Okhema) Ablaze
Im already prepare for the worst outcome but remind me with this video.... still hurt me sigh.
With reference here and there, the Heirs journey really.... just waiting in the right time.
But im still dont want Aglaea "step off" from the stage. I love her, her design her personality... world so cruel huh.
3:36 "remain firm under the most extreme pressure"
me who jokes in all question : "huhh ... extreme what ... ?" 😅
Honestly i'm really worried what elder caenis (who is totally not giving of the same vibe as azhar) gonna do to her in the future story.
Who else loves Aglaea for her BIG personality? 👀
I just wanna say something its not about hating her or anything but when we were trying to save the NPC we didn't got any option to hide the truth and that NPC already knew that we were from a world beyond the sky when he saw pictures of March in the camera , it's not like the trailblazer had any option besides telling the truth , trailblazer was trying to hide the truth they also didn't want to intentionaly reveal that they are from another world and she knew the whole situation.
Aglaela seems to match goddess of law/judge (like the one who stop Traveller in Genshin) rather than colide about romance thing.
I'll just say something kinda unrelated
I fall in love with her english dub accent 😌 I'm just a sucker for British accent 😩❤️
Lets acts surprised that Phainon will be the emnator if destruction 🗿
i love her accent sm
romance isn’t always about love people
What's the music in the end of the video?
The Knights of Beauty approve
5:14 what’s the music playing here?
The track is called Caged wings, it's part of Penacony's ost
Now, I regret not saving jades for her 😢
She holds the core of a titan of romance Mnestia. Romance is just a but one of humans relationship and a form of emotions. So Mnestia also creates every other emotions for humans (kephale's creation). So it wouldn't be so weird if her psychology is pretty whack
So, when is she meeting Argenti?
If they have flaws, then what's Tribbie's?
😮💨
sure Aponia
Isn't Aglaea's flaw being that she is blind? Unless the 3.0 (not 3.1 and beyond) leaks are incorrect
This goes beyond just the "flaws of the Coreflame" mentioned in-game.
The nuance to the Chrysos Heirs if you haven't notices are that they are based on "Greek Heroes" most known for figures relating to topics of "Tragedy", "Vainglory" or simply they are very flawed/warped perspectives relative to normal greek mortals despite being touted as "Heroes".
Aglaea simply represents the tragedy of a hero so kneck deep into responsibility that you can end up making a logical choice but end up hurting a lot of people in the long run cause you didn't completely factor in "the perspective of the weak" you are trying to protect.
That’s… too superficial op💀 u gotta think more abstract
@@typh2630 well yeah she is blind but she can "see" more then the average person
So....The Beauty has become The Order...then...The Harmony....
Ah...sorry, it's just a nonsensical yapping
She has accent in en dub?
I do not think Aglaea was ever romantic to begin with. It seems that each Chrysos Heir represents a "philosophy" that is opposite to the god they kill, but after killing that god, they get their power.
Phainon's philosopy is Deliverance and he killed Nikador to obtain power of Strife. Strife is constant conflict so it is weak to Deliverance which indicates achieving something finite.
Tribbie was a priest of Oronyx (Time) and killed Janus to obtain their power of Passage. This one is a bit trickier but given the usual sci-fi connections between space (passage) and time, there is probably some explanation for why Time "kills" Space. Maybe someone who is into physics can help me out here.
Aglaea's original philosophy seems to be Reason (Cerces) and she killed Mnestia to obtain power of Romance. Romance is something that is inherently irrational, so it is "defeated" by Reason.
We do not know who the other characters are meant to kill but it's pretty easy to guess some of their original "philosophies" (Mydei=Strife, Catgirl = trickery, Pink girl = romance)
The only question mark so far is Castorice who seems to represent Death and also be searching for the core of Death, but maybe her story is more nuanced (I think she mentioned that Thanatos has a "part of her").
Uhm no, they still represent it
But it mix with humanity make it different from what the titan showing
Humanity is not go to extreme state about the concept
So that why the way they represent the concept is different with the titan
Basically , different nature lead to different way of represent
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 But Phainon has nothing to do with strife, no? Meanwhile Mydei is all about it. Why isn't Mydei the one to get Nikador's core? Also - why is Aglea the Romance one, when the pink haired girl referred to "romantic" in the trailer (and her expy in Hi3rd (Elysia) can't stop talking about everything being "romantic" in game). Shouldn't the new Elysia be the romance one?
Tbh - I am not super certain about my theory. Like - Castorice is very fitting for death. Also maybe Tribbie wasn't priestess of Oronyx, but rather all priests can use Oronyx power (like the MC). But there is definitely some confusion at the moment
@@se7en-impact i think they misunderstand about the prophecy
It make them think phainon will be who receive nikador flame
@@se7en-impact about oronyx, i remember somewhere said the three god of destiny can share power to each other at some extent
So maybe that why tribie can using oronix legacy
@ I suppose it hasn't actually been 100% confirmed that Phainon will be successful. Though tbh, I kind of hope we'll move on to the next titan in 3.1 instead of still dwelling on who gets Nikador's core
"Never intended to kill the trailblazer" YET if you lie Castorice literally almost kills us and we're only saved cause Phainon gets there in time and saves us. So she's either lying out of her ass or the writers really fucked up there.
It's still true though that she never intended to kill them?
Cuz she already knew that Castorice contacted Phainon to convince her when she was deciding to punish, in fact, the only reason why she even changed the punishment to execution is because of what Castorice did.
She knew Phainon would come anyway so she took advantage of that to make it seem like it's all thanks to Phainon that the Trailblazer was saved, ultimately would make them closer with Phainon
@@Solace98 That's true and very fair. I didn't think of it like that!
Even after know her reason, I still dislike her for what her did to Trailblazer. It's not like "I really hate her, why she even exist?", but like "I forgive you for what you did to Me, but don't you dare talk to me anymore."
Maybe she is cold and ruthless because there is a distinct lack of love in her heart? Perhaps she has a former lover who's love was not meant to be?
@robertjaysonalcantara7016 that's like mnestia's love towards the titan of reason, no? it was also unrequited
She made it clear it’s nothing personal that she feels the way she does, it’s just the way the coreflames work, they gradually encroach on emotions and replace it with divinity, in aglaeas case.
So Phainon will kill her right? 😔😔😔😔😔
I just finished the quest and I just don't understand the hate towards her. That's what leaders are supposed to be, right? Her decisions will affect their world's survival, and not fully trusting aliens who just appeared out of nowhere makes her a bad character? She's even kinda lenient letting them wander around by themselves and gave them proper living conditions.
I wan't Argenti to interact with her so bad
I will get my revenge against her #justicefortrailblazer
aint no way she got away with saying it was just a joke when she almost got away with killing the tb and they were experiencing her powers and super close to death lel
@@rene9305 you want revenge, on a woman who simply wanted to interrogate a random stranger who suddenly appeared in their planet?
thats like saying aglaea shouldn’t have even defended amphoreus from possible threats that came out of nowhere and by the way, from beyond the sky that they’re so worried about.
players when a character doesn't act like the mc's bestie upon 1 second after meeting :
@@yizhi9703That random strangers already lending their help more than once, and she never trusted them in the first place thats why she spying on them, and put out fake courtesy just like Cocolia did... I would prefer if she treat those strangers like Mydei did, instead acting like she really welcome them only to betraying their trust, what's more she does it only to test the other 2 comrade's bond... Bruh, she's lucky both TB and Dan Heng doesn't have nasty temper, or the Amphoreus will be in more chaotic situation, they have to dealing not only Nikador but also 2 strangers with power that they don't know about...
@@arzeraafries5105 mydei is a warrior from kremnos
He was teach to not use trick , only straight fight and straight conversation
Aglea is a leader, she know not every one will acting in simple way like kremnos people
@@arzeraafries5105mydei was also hostile towards trailblazer 😭 I swear is it really the hsr fandom without them hating on a female character each patch (jade, sparkle, Ruan Mei)
