I thought her arm was morphing, at first. Then I realized it was just both of their arms.

Reminder that aside from the Herrscher personas being separate entities from their hosts to begin with (Mei literally has an intracranial convo with the Third at least once in-story for ex) Void Kiana isn't exactly Kiana but Celine, the Second Herrscher, resurrected courtesy of some Evangelion shenanigans by Otto Apocalypse, the game's primary reason why we can't have nice things. (Bet he screws with our gacha pulls too.)
The major case of yanderitis the two Herrshcer personas seem to have for each other never ceases to amuse me, though.

^ tbh, Mihoyo's lores about Herrscher are pretty a mess now. Back in ggz, 3rd Herrscher is considered both Mei and not Mei. She is like the dark side of Mei that Mei had always kept inside until she becomes her ownself in the 3rd Honkai Impact.
About Kiana, the closest to a Herrscher personality is God Kiana of GGZ, while Sirin is cruel and arrogant, God Kiana is calm, emotionless to the point she only shed a tear after Mei's death.
GGZ dlc has an emotionless God Kiana x an overprotective yandere Herrscher Mei lol.

^ 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).

I learnt more about the Honkai lore from these comments than from the actual game. But maybe it's because I haven't seen anything related except HI3. Nice art tho.
