Arcana / Li Zhiyan Introduction

Arknights Endfield

Just started to catch up to Arknight Endfield 1.2 story (relatively new as I've been busy for a while). Currently chasing Ardashir through the new map released in this patch (quite well designed as always) and I saw that they introduced properly Li Zhiyan (real name) / Arcana (codename) as a character and her connection with Chen. Apparently they were both trying to enter the YSTF, Li Zhiyan managed just fine, but Chen was rejected due to emotional immaturity (not surprise here ahahah), but we don't know the fine details of what relationship they shared back when they were in training.

Her design is exquisite though, It's impressive how every single character design I see in this game makes me go "I want to roll her!". I'm not a huge fan of the whole "stoic"/military personality, but the looks more than make up for it.

Unfortunately we already know characters that are going to be released in 1.3 so I guess she'll be in 1.4 or beyond. I heard there is a plot reason for her not to be available immediately, but I haven't reached that point yet, I guess I'll read in the coming hours.

Arcana seems to be a new upcoming character, she is connected with Chen Qianyu. She looks quite good, but her personality is a bit too serious, especially if you compare her to Chen. One question I have is though, is she a reconvener and linked to some character from the original Arknights?
