The universe is like a wasteland filled with rubbish, where occasional treasures lie undiscovered. THEY sift through the cracks of yesterday, seeking seeds of memory. ...If a new life is to be born, its seed has to be dead. Precious stones of pink, blue, and white are brought forth, twinkling gently in THEIR seed plot, even though the universe holds onto its enigmatic silence.

Trivia & Origins
HoYoverse's own game data has no gacha table pairing this cone with a specific character, and the internal flavor text doesn't name one either — not enough evidence to assign a signature owner, no guessing.

How to read this Light Cone page
Every Light Cone has exactly one passive effect tied to the wielder's combat performance; that effect scales up as you Superimpose it from S1 to S5 — use the S1-S5 buttons above to see the exact numbers at each level instead of guessing or interpolating. A Light Cone only delivers its full value on a character who shares its Path; "Characters who use this cone" lists every character on that Path, while "Best users" is a narrower list pulled from real build consensus, not a guess.
Base stats (HP/ATK/DEF) are shown at Lv80 for every cone of the same rarity so they can be compared directly; a 5-star cone will always edge out 4-star and 3-star ones here — the real difference lives in the passive effect, not the flat stats. The "Alternative cones on the same Path" section suggests a few other options if you do not own the signature cone yet, or want to compare before spending ascension materials.
