I often wonder, what does the silence of the stars feel like? It's a question that finds a home in the heart of March 7th, the girl who was born from that very silence, cradled in a shroud of impossible ice. Even now, in 2026, as the Astral Express charts new courses through the cosmos, her story remains the most captivating enigma aboard our locomotive. She's more than just the poster girl with a cute design, you know? She's a living question mark floating through the narrative, and her mystery is what makes her so darn compelling. Let me tell you about her.

The Girl Who Forgot Her Name
The most fascinating thing, the thing that gets me every time, is that we know almost nothing. She remains an almost complete mystery, not just to us, the players, but to herself and her found family on the Express. She was a gift from the void, discovered by the crew floating through space, encased in a special kind of ice. When they thawed her out, they found a soul as blank as a new canvas. It was revealed that she had no memory whatsoever—no name, no home, no history. Just... a beginning.
That ice, though. It wasn't your ordinary frozen water. It was Six-Phased Ice, a substance bonded to the Imaginary Law. As Welt explained, it cannot be altered by any external forces whatsoever. It was a perfect, unbreakable cradle. And in a beautiful twist of fate, that very same essence now forms the arrows she fires from her bow in battle. With nowhere else to go, March 7th joined the crew of the Astral Express, and a new family was born.
A Name Written in Thawing Ice

New players always chuckle at her name. It is just how ridiculous the name March 7th is, right? Why not just 'March'? But the reason is heartbreakingly simple and pure. It was the date. The day the ice melted, the day she opened her eyes to a new world. With no past to claim, she picked the date that was the beginning of her life as she knew it as her name. March 7th. It's not ridiculous; it's a poem. A haiku of rebirth.
The Past That Refuses to Be Found
The hunger for answers is a shared one. We want to know, and so does she. Although she has no leads on her past, her spirit is unbroken. During our time on the Xianzhou Luofu, she sought the help of Master Diviner Fu Xuan, hoping to find answers about her past using the Matrix of Prescience. What happened next... well, it was less of a revelation and more of a cosmic 'stop sign'.
Every effort to divine into her history was unsuccessful. The readings were distorted, chaotic, even for events after her thawing. It made no sense. Instead of visions, the divination spat out warnings. It presented people she knew warning her to stop. The message was clear: don't look back. Move forward. The closer we got to the truth, the more a lone figure eventually revealed themselves as an unwelcome meddler.

This meddler was a Memokeeper, a representative from the Garden of Recollection, guardians of memory who walk the Path of Remembrance. They insisted the past was a door best left closed. But March, with that stubborn spark in her eyes, pressed on. Reluctantly, she agreed to show her her origin. And what did she show her? She showed March 7th herself encased in ice. That's it. Was that her true beginning? Or was it a metaphor for a past forever locked away? The silence that followed was louder than any explosion.
Her Place in Our Story

March 7th is primarily a supporting character in the story of our journey, and she wears that role with a brilliant light. She's the heart of the Express. Her bubbly, energetic nature, born from a lack of preconceptions, lets her ask the questions we all have. While the Trailblazer might be silent, March 7th asking those questions keeps things moving. From the frozen plains of Belobog to the dreamscapes of Penacony, March 7th remains a core cast member of the story without playing the leading role. She's the constant, the friend, the one who reminds us what we're fighting for.
A New Path, Forged in Sword Light
And just when you think you know her, she grows. With the 2.4 update of the game, March 7th received a new path and element, blossoming into an Imaginary Hunt character. This wasn't just a gameplay shift; it was a story of personal evolution. It began with an invitation back to the Xianzhou Luofu for the Luminary Wardance Ceremony. The Astral Express crew returned to the Xianzhou Luofu for a celebration known as the Luminary Wardance Ceremony, a festival of martial arts.
Watching masters like Yanqing and Yunli, a new passion ignited in March's eyes. She wanted to learn. Seeing this, the wise Arbiter-General Huaiyan had an idea. He suggested they apprentice March 7th, not just for her benefit, but also to help both of them grow. Teaching is its own form of learning.

Dressed in Xianzhou silks and wielding a new blade, March 7th threw herself into learning Cloud Knight swordplay. It was hard work, a different kind of discipline than drawing a bow. But she persevered. And by completing the March to Mastery: A Star Is Born quest, she unlocked March 7th's new skills. She didn't just learn to swing a sword; she learned to define herself, not by the past she lost, but by the future she's actively forging, one determined step at a time.
So, who is March 7th? She is the girl who chose her birthday as her name. She is the archer whose arrows are made of the ice that once imprisoned her. She is the student of the sword who found a new way to express her will. She is the friend who asks 'why?' so we don't forget to wonder. She is a mystery wrapped in sunshine, a blank page writing her own story across the stars with every laugh, every question, and every brave step forward into the unknown. And honestly? That's more than enough. Sometimes, the journey is the answer.
