^ Doesn't really help that even the various HI3 materials are inconsistent about various details... Haven't played GGZ so can't comment on that but Honk seems pretty consistent about the Herrschers actually. Where we know enough about the "natural" ones they invariably seem rather like stemming from the repressed bitterness etc. of the host personality - it's probably no coincidence that both Mei (3rd) and Wendy (unnumbered "pseudo-Herrscher") are rather demure self-sacrificing types, and the "Honkai Will" in Sakura Samsara is to a large degree Higokumaru's understandable grudge over being killed. (No real info on the 1st and original 2nd but they probably fit the pattern too.)
Void Kiana is an aberration given that's not the Second's original host but a clone of the original Kiana specifically designed to serve as a vessel for Celine's resurrection, which presumably explains why she's explicitly noted to act and talk quite differently from her original incarnation, because Otto. Seriously fuck that guy and his discount Gendo Ikari shenanigans. >:c
As an aside Celine herself is pretty interesting for the important connecting role she plays in the narrative despite having been dead for over a decade and never actually appearing personally Void Kiana aside - several of the cast have backstories where she looms large in some fashion, notably Theresa, Bronya and Kiana (and her entire now-deceased immediate family for that matter).
