I'll be putting this below the cut, as it involves discussion of leaks and story spoilers.
As HXG-Diluc on twitter leaked, her real name is
Which translates into Raiden "Guardian of the forgetful river" Mei. In other words she's quite literally named Raiden Mei, like her Honkai Impact 3rd counterpart, but also bears the title of being the Guardian of the Forgetful river.
Forgetful River = River of Forgetfulness = Lethe River of greek mythos
It's interesting as it connects her to two greek underworld Rivers, Acheron and Lethe.
Lethe is the river of forgetfulness which is self explanatory.
Acheron is the river of woe which relates to her suffering and all the things that happened to her.
Now I wonder if she's connected to the other 3 rivers. The Cocytus, The Phlegethon, and the Styx.
The Cocytus the river of Lamentation
The Phelegethon the river of fire
The Styx is the main river the one that separate the living and the dead. Styx means Loathing of Death and "Shuddering"
I do think she's definitely connected to Stys, seeing as she has a quote she keeps repeating which is: "May you find your way back to the waking world." and is all bout guiding souls, which is what the river Styx does.
Phelegethon/The River of Fire may be correlated with Duke Ifrit.
Lamentation could be her 'I weep for the departed' line and as stated with Stys, she seems related to death almost everywhere she goes. (As seen with Duke Ifrit, her home planet, Aventurine, Frebass, etc)
"Outside of playin a good round of cards, not a damn thing!" A pinching, crushing approach must be taken for such means!
"Look, 'Fantasy Caelus' has just been taken for a spin in some people's minds. That has not a singleeeeee thing to do with the genuine article here! Y'feel me?"
"A good round of cards?" The Self-Annihilator blinked a bit, having decided to look at Caelus with a rather blank, if judgemental gaze. "...I see, you haven't done a single thing to Mr. Yang. I believe you." She did, probably.

🪦 - to see yours by a grave .
This one seemed like an IPC Officer too. The Emanator had arrived here a few hours after the fact, after committing the deed of 'killing' Aventurine. Of course she knew the truth and that he wasn't really dead, but for his sake she had decided to remain silent and instead greet the Cornerstone.
"Greetings, did you know Aventurine? He was a rather interesting guy, wasn't he? Always gambling, but in the end it seemed to have done him in." Of course she had only known him for a few days during the whole Penacony debacle, but the point remained. "I'm Acheron, a Galaxy Ranger, who are you?"

Usually she wouldn't even bother with this kind of thing, using her phone and messaging with it, but Sparkle had already wormed her way into the Emanator's life. So the least she could do is check it out.
Reading all the text, she didn't really seem all too impressed by the given amount of money and instead clicked on the link. Only to be slightly startled, as she had put her volume on full earlier.
"...Looks like I'll have to cut down a fool later." Do not mind her hair turning white, that was toootally just for show.
❝ For the right price, I can be ? ❞ Confidence was there, but not as much as he'd normally harbor. Feeling strangely called out. What's wrong with a hint of makeup ? The gel wasn't that out of place was it ?
Gripes in his mind didn't really matter as she outright admitted to picking up on the Elation... Or perhaps not exactly pinpointing Aha, but could too sense the power. So it appeared they were on the same page, however, Sampo was not one to readily reveal all his cards not matter how hot the trail of suspicion might have been. False smirk played at his lips, for his own sake.
❝ A drink ? Sure, but I... ❞ Fool stared at her hand for a moment, debating on the approach. Tentatively, he took her hand && shook, ignoring the way the contact made the notion of a void prickle. ❝ Sampo Koski, businessman of sorts. I suppose I can pick up your tab. ❞
"I'm not planning on buying you, mister Koski." Acheron spoke, shaking her head. The other was good looking, but nothing to her peculiar tastes. She felt some kind of joyous spark during the handshake, blinking a few times so as to not show her eyes widening for even the slightest moment.
She could assume he felt some kind of Path Energy as well from her, so it wasn't hard to assume what kind of Paths they were dealing with here. Regardless, she gave a nod again, lowering her hand. "Businessman, I see and pick up my tab? Does that mean you'll treat this Galaxy Ranger?"
It was an amusing idea and she could owe him some money later, but she didn't feel like he would scam her right off the bat. "You're not some kind of business tycoon, are you? You do give off the kind of trustworth, yet scamming energy with how you present yourself."
