Castorice’s supposed project in Honkai: Star Trail 3.2 has apparently been leaked, and while it looks like a completely new outfit, it bears uncomfortable similarities to an existing character design from HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG. Castorice is rumored to be one of the new characters added to the game in version 3.2 after the title enters its third year of content. Rumored to launch version 3.2, the character should arrive months after the supposed launch of Aglaea and the 5-star Herta in Honkai: Star Trail 3.0.
So far, little is known about Castorice. Rumors indicate that she is also called Xiadie, although it is not known what her official name in English will be – there is a chance that it will be neither. Additionally, a compilation of leaks in Reddit mentions that Castorice will be a 5-star Quantum character who follows the Path of Remembrance. The Remembrance is expected to become a new playable path in version 3.0 with the arrival of Aglaea and the Remembrance Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Trailand there are rumors that Castorice follows this new trend.

While Castorice’s leaked design is elegant in its own way, there is a troubling resemblance to Fu Xuan, an already existing character in the game. If the leak is true, both units have pink hair, pink and white dresses, headpieces and long white sleeves. Castorice’s leaked design has unique elements to make it distinct enough for Fu Xuan, but it simply looks like an alternate outfit for Fu Xuan in Honkai: Star Trail rather than an entirely new character, per se.
Leaked Castorice design on Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 still subject to change
Version 3.2 is still months away
The main problem with the leaked design appears to be its color palette, which is what most closely matches Fu Xuan’s existing design. If the colors were different, then perhaps Castorice’s leaked design wouldn’t look so much like the 5-star Preservation character.

The third year of content for Honkai: Star Trail is looking promising, especially given rumors of changes to gameplay mechanics – and despite what appears to be a redesigned character.
