Memory Regain | MAJOR SPOILERS for Honkai: Star Rail Amphoreus
See appearance for information about Aglaea's Black Tide Core body modification
As a result of drowning in the Yawning Sea and acquiring a Black Tide Core, Aglaea has also obtained limited access to a number of memories from her many previous lives. The memories are heavily corrupted, and she recognizes that portions fo her memory are "gained" but "missing", portrayed under a thin veil of red corruption.
The following is a list of memories Aglaea can obtain. Anything dated has already been acquired.
- Being adopted by Cipher
- Her time working with Anaxagoras at the Grove of Empiphany
- A vague recollection of becoming a thief with Cipher
- Loose memories of the first cycle and a girl named Cyrene.
- ??? Non-exclusive list as I refresh the series information.

Appearance
Additional notes: Aglaea's eyes no longer work, however she does not consider herself blind thanks to Mnestia's blessing (see: the Golden Threads). The fact that she's blind is visually evident by her glassy pupils and unfocused gaze, but otherwise moves as normally as any sighted person. Feel free to have your character notice.
Fashion Visuals
Body Modificiation
— The Diadem | May 2026 After an Incident at the Yawning Sea (WIP), Aglaea's upper left torso region has become translucent, revealing a modified heart. Hysilens reference, as the region is inspired by her transparent stomach.
• Skin. Feels nearly skin-like, but not quite. Certain reflections of the light will make an area halo gold. The shape itself is reminescent of vitiligo and its edges are like the glue of kintsugi repaired pottery matching the hue of her tattoo. Aglaea's tattoo is nolonger present
• Interior. Replaced with a golden liquid that is mostly see-through. Heart is visible.
• Bones. To be finalized. Shoulder blade will be visible
• Heart. The heart is replaced by a Black Tide core 「 Reference 1, 2, 3 」 shaped like a Roman Dodecahedron (without the pips). It has the same red-pink aura which cuts through the golden liquid.
Timeline: Early June Tattoo has grown enough and split open to reveal the modified heart
Skills & Abilities
Permissions
Empathic Telepathy & Soul Seeing opt-in/out. If your character interacts with Aglaea at all, I appreciate you filling this out!
As for knowledge about the Threads, please only assume you know what Aglaea has ICly explained to your character or feel free to HMU. She's a bit protective about the information and tends to leave details out on purpose. This post is largely for OOC reference.
The Golden Threads
Sight Beyond Sight. A thousand years ago, Aglaea lost the use of her eyes. However, the Golden Threads provide her with a new way to see! She senses the vibrations along the threads spread around her and, consequently, is able to “see” long distances. She can also see some things that are impossible to see with the naked eye, such as a a character's soul, a Stelleron inside a person (ie a high energy entity), and ghosts.
— The Diadem I've limited her threads a bit a lot for the sake of my own sanity. Her threads are not "well-established" in the Diadem and she can only "see" 0.5 to 1 mile from her position, regulated to the "open areas," and needs to establish her threads in new locations before she can see.
Empathic Telepathy. Aglaea is able to feel the emotions of others by sensing the way their body reacts. She cannot read minds with this ability. Due to the far reaching nature of the threads, Aglaea is frequently experiencing the emotions of everyone around her at once.
Actual Telepathy. By entwiting the threads with another person, Aglaea is able to open a literal telepathic communication with them. Similarly, when characters are bound to her like this, both they and she will feel compulsed to tell the truth.
Truth and Lies. Aglaea is able to sense wheather or not something is lying by utlizing the threads to sense subtle changes in a person. A character who is supernaturally talented at lying is able to deceive the Threads.
The Nymphs. Aglaea is able to separate a portion of her divinity to create Nymphs. Nymphs are about the size of one's hand and are shaped as butterflies (golden) or phinoceros beetles (red/green/blue). Nymphs can be laid out and then collected later to act as listening devices and can gather information when returned to Aglaea. By pressing a nymph inside of a person, she is able to force her will upon them, i.e. some light mind control. The Nymphs possess Aglaea's will, however they are also seen being somewhat quirky and poetic in the wild.
The World Wound Web. Basically the internet on Amphoreus. Social media.
— The Diadem Per this question, Aglaea can modify cellphones to work more like walkie-talkies over a .5 mile radius. Aglaea must physically touch a phone to be able to connect it to her threads. Effect is temporary.
Combat
Fencing. Aglaea is a left-handed fencer. Her sword is made up of a collection of the golden threads made manifest.
Capture. Only possible once her threads are "established" in an area - kind of like a limit break. The threads cannot hold permanently.
Double-strike. Presuming she has garmentmaker summoned, it allows her to strike twice per "turn".
Garmentmaker
— The Diadem As of April 2026, Aglaea has one Garmentmaker in game. As such, she holds it to higher value than she would normally in canon.
Active. Garmentmaker is a "summon" during combat, and at MAX stacks, allows Aglaea to reach her maximum SPD potential. While Summoned, Garmentmaker has its own, separate HP bar. Garmentmaker in theory allows her to act twice in combat, and wields a fencing sword similar to herself.
This is non-exclusive feel free to ask me questions, too. The Golden Threads are kind of a mess and I am perhaps the only person to actually try to map out her abilities. I also like to get creative with the threads, so some things are canon inferred (rigidity to hold things aloft, capture opponents, faint light, etc)

Truths and lies breakdown (POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILERS)
(T) Fashion Trendsetter – Canon fact(T) Lived Millions of Lives – She doesn't know this is true
(T) Constantly Spying on Others – Golden Threads are always watching
(T/F) Loves Whatever You're Wearing – REALLY DEPENDS on what you're wearing
(F) Married with 12 kids – unmarried but tell me she's not team mom
(F) Young & Spirited – Old & not very emotional
Age & Birthday
Probably 1102 years old. Click for spoiler rationale.
Based on information provided in cycle '37, we know Aglaea is 101 years old when she ascends to power (born 3860, ascend 3961). Birth years are NOT consistent in each cycle. If it takes as much time for Aglaea to ascend to godhood in '36 (Year 3930) then her birth year would be 3829. If I did bad math, be nice to me, it's all made up anyway.Potentially, she is born in the 9th Month, the Month of Weaving – So September
She's extremely bad at determining that age of others.
FASHION
she's dressed nicely in a simple brown turtleneck and dark mustard tartan pantsCar
