Summary
- Gallagher and Misha are important 4-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail's Penacony arc, with a deep connection revealed in Version 2.2.
- The game's community praised a fan's sketch showcasing Gallagher and Misha's bond.
- The end of the Penacony mission in Version 2.2 has fans eagerly anticipating the next adventure in Honkai: Star Rail's universe.
One Honkai: Star Rail fan drew a beautiful sketch of 4-star characters Gallagher and Misha. Both Honkai: Star Rail characters made their debut during the Penacony arc, where they both play important roles in the overall story.
Gallagher is a Fire-type Abundance character, making him a healer but also an effective damage dealer. He is a former bartender who became a security officer of Penacony's Bloodhound Family, and helps the Astral Express Crew in investigating the dark secrets of the Dreamscape. Also helping out the crew is Misha, an Ice-type Destruction character, who's a young bellhop at The Reverie Hotel and occasional guide throughout their adventure deeper into the Dreamscape. Although Gallagher and Misha rarely interact in the Penacony story, the latest Honkai: Star Rail version reveals that their paths have actually crossed.
Honkai: Star Rail fan RabiChora showcased Gallagher and Misha's connection through a gorgeous sketch, which also features Penacony mascots Clockie and Hanu. The drawing shows Misha and Clockie sleeping peacefully, while the latter smokes a cigarette and Hanu placing a blanket on the bellhop. The fan said they're paying homage to their two favorite men in the Version 2.2 story, which revealed that Misha is actually the late Watchmaker's child-like manifestation in the Dreamscape, and Gallagher is the Watchmaker's former confidant. Clockie and Hanu are also their animated representations in Penacony's cartoon shows.

In the comments, many Honkai: Star Rail fans praised RabiChora's sketch, while also saying that it's heartbreaking to see them together, as the Watchmaker/Misha is already deceased and Gallagher is implied to have died in Version 2.2 as well. Meanwhile, many others also took the time to praise Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2's story, emphasizing that both characters made the Penacony arc even better.
Although Gallagher and Misha are 4-star characters, Honkai: Star Rail manages to give them major roles in Penacony, therefore making them feel important in the game's universe and not just one-off characters. It's safe to say that their stories have become just as popular as 5-star characters Acheron and Aventurine's backstories, which many fans also find heartbreaking and great.
With Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 signaling the end of the Penacony mission, many fans are already looking forward to the next adventure. It's still unknown where the Astral Express Crew will go next, but new Honkai: Star Rail leaks reveal upcoming planets, with one rumored to be Rome-inspired. It might take a while before the game introduces a new world, especially considering the sheer size of Penacony, but fans will be waiting patiently.
