She might be a manifestation of death itself, but that doesn’t stop her from being a normal girl who has her silly desires at the end of the day. If you want to learn more about Castorice, then check out these 7 interesting facts.
1. The Executioner of Aidonia
You may already know that Castorice comes from the ancient city of Aidonia. However, very few of you will likely know that Castorice was also the executioner of Aidonia, being responsible for sending countless prisoners to their deaths with her curse. Due to her curse as a Chrysos Heir, she is revered by the people of Aidonia as Maiden of War. The people of Aidonia worship death, so they also revere Castorice as she can bring death by her mere touch. Even though Castorice worked diligently as the executioner in Aidonia, the countless deaths she provided to the prisoners did strain her psychologically.
2. She Has the Death’s Touch
Castorice’s ability is very interesting and unique in Honkai Star Rail, as nothing like it has been shown previously in the game. She has the curse of Death as a Chrysos Heir, which kills anything she merely touches. Simply being near Castorice can send a person into slumber, but it’s her touch that provides them the warm embrace of death.
3. Immune to Mosquito Bites
As Castorice’s mere touch can kill most beings in Amphoreus, she cannot touch other humans or animals. This means that even though Castorice loves interacting with Dromas and Chimeras in the holy city of Okhema, she will never be able to pet them with her own hands. Although this is extremely sad, it also comes with a few benefits. One of the benefits of Castorice’s curse is that she is immune to mosquito bites, as mosquitoes can neither get close to her nor bite her before slumbering to eternal sleep.
4. Likes Plushies
As Castorice is unable to pet animals due to her curse, she has become fond of plushies instead. Castorice loves creating plushies and uses them to fulfill her innate desire to pet dogs, cats, or chimeras in Amphoreus of Honkai Star Rail. She creates plushies of small animals and cuddles with them every night as she falls asleep, entering slumber in their company.

6. Loves Monochrome Photography
Another interesting fact about Castorice is that she loves photography. This was first noticed when Castorice was asked by the Trailblazer and Dan Heng to click a picture for them. Castorice loves photography, but unlike most others, she loves Monochrome Photography. Her photos are always in black and white, as she finds comfort in the simplicity of the monochrome colors.
7. A Certified Introvert
Due to her extremely strong curse that kills others from her mere touch, Castorice is both revered and feared all around Amphoreus. This also makes her isolated from others, putting psychological stress on Castorice. Due to this, Castorice has become very shy and has trouble carrying on conversations with unknown people.
