Revision 4

Overview

Hua is one of the first characters the player encounters in Iia. He is a young Animaster with a single-minded goal: qualify through the regional championships and earn a spot at The Amphitheater, the top competitive venue for Nexus Battles. He has spiky blue hair, wears headphones, and dresses in casual streetwear.

Note: this character is unrelated to any same-named character in a prior HoYoverse title; in HNA, Hua is an original character with no apparent link to a similarly named figure elsewhere.

Personality

Hua is fiery and enthusiastic about Nexus Battles. He approaches training and competition with a bluntness that borders on reckless. He wants to fight strong opponents and isn't especially interested in strategy or caution. His energy makes him a natural early-game companion for the player, someone who drags you into situations before you're quite ready for them.

Role in the Story

As a fellow aspiring Animaster, Hua is a peer and rival of sorts for the player character. His goal of reaching The Amphitheater gives the early game a clear target to work toward, and his eagerness to train and battle creates natural opportunities for the player to learn the Auto-Chess Combat mechanics through friendly competition.
