A player of turn-based RPG gacha game Honkai: Star Rail has just shared an image that they created, combining two five-star characters Kafka and Clara together. Given the mysterious yet crucial role that Kafka has in Honkai: Star Rail, it is not surprising for fans to be interested in whatever kind of fan art that the community produces involving the elusive Stellaron Hunter.

The Honkai: Star Rail Kafka character banner has just been implemented into the game, and players are probably using up all of their passes for a chance to add her into their roster. The Stellaron Hunter has played a steady role in the story, which is probably the reason why many players have formed an attachment to her character. And though her appearances in the plot seem to be spontaneous and unpredictable, this does not stop fans from creating fan art that shows how much they seem to like Kafka, even if her personality and allegiances are questionable.

On Reddit, user HorseRelatedJoke posted their Honkai: Star Rail fan art that combines Kafka and Clara together. Many fans will probably instantly recognize the edited image, given that it is the key visual for Clara, one of the first available five-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail. The main difference is that the artist has edited Clara to look just like Kafka, replacing the little girl's white hair with Kafka's iconic darker maroon locks, and even adding the Stellaron Hunter's black round sunglasses on top of Clara's head. HorseRelatedJoke also changed the red tint of Clara's cloak into a darker shade, reflecting the black-and-pink color scheme of Kafka's outfit.

According to the artist, their "Kafka looks a little strange," and is obviously playing a joke at how hard it is to get the banner characters in Honkai: Star Rail. Replies on the Reddit thread seem to agree with the sentiment, with one stating that the artist has "doomed" their pull when they actually got Clara in the game instead. Many made jokes about how the combination of Kafka and Clara would work, tweaking each character's dialogue to reflect their personality and relationship with other characters in Honkai: Star Rail.

Knowing just how challenging, and often costly, pulling for characters in Honkai: Star Rail can be, it is refreshing to see how the community is still light-hearted enough to make these kinds of fan art jokingly. There are still plenty of five-star characters to come, and hopefully the player base will continue to make fun and not take the gacha game mechanics too seriously.
