Are there any other ways to get free characters in Honkai: Star Rail?

Furthermore, you’ll have limited ability to influence exactly which character you get each time.

March 7th waves cheerily with her left hand while holding her bow in her right in her Honkai: Star Rail introductory image. Pink, purple, and blue pastel lights swirl around her, and icicles and arrows in the same colour scheme fall past. A black-and-white close-up of her in the same pose forms the background.

Dan Heng sits cross-legged on the lower branches of an autumnal tree in his introductory image in Honkai: Star Rail. He holds his spear in folded arms. The background image is, somewhat humorously, a black-and-white repetition of him in the exact same pose.

Serval smiles warmly while sitting next to one of her steampunk-y machines in her Honkai: Star Rail character introduction image. A purple-lit industrial space forms the background.

Asta sits on a stool beside a large telescope in her introductory image in Honkai: Star Rail. Background images show Asta in an alternate outfit and meeting the female Trailblazer.

The main Herta unit sits on a circular bed with two other versions of her robotic self in nightwear propped next to her in her introductory image in Honkai: Star Rail. They are surrounded by books. The main Herta has puppets of both the Trailblazer variants (female and male) on her hands. The Astral Express forms a background to the scene.

Natasha mixes vials of a bright green concoction in her home medical laboratory in Honkai: Star Rail. A robot shaped like a giant clawed hand sits in the background.

Qingque dances through an explosion of scrolls and Mahjong tiles in her Honkai: Star Rail introductory image. An inset picture shows her asleep on a pile of papers.
