Biography:

Astrid Strelnikov is a young woman born in the eastern part of the USSR. She grew up in a large family in the mountains, helping her father farm. Every chance she could, Astrid snook away from the farm to explore the mountain range around her. It wasn't the beauty of the nature of everything that had such a strong draw on her, but the peace and quiet. On top of the mountains you were alone, and alone was perfect for Astrid's thoughts.

It was during one of these hikes that Astrid first discovered her power. Standing on top of the mountains overlooking the white landscape, she was caught by a flash thunderstorm. Knowing the danger of being on top of a mountain in a storm Astrid began to stumble home through the rain and snow. Throughout this storm Astrid was struck by lightning, not once or twice, but three times. In rapid succession the lightning slammed into her body channelling itself into her body.

When Astrid woke up after being shocked the storm was gone, and the ground around her scorched black, snow melted away. But she didn't feel hurt from being struck by the lightning. Instead Astrid felt elevated even a little high. Laughing she ran down the mountain, not caring about the danger of moving down the mountain to fast. Arriving at the farm she saw her father standing with a plow in hand, worriedly looking up the mountain. Of course, she realized, after being struck she must have been knocked out and have stayed up there all day. Shouting she said, "papa ya nakhozhus' zdes'" her father turned to her opening his arms to embrace her. 

The second that they touched her father flew back across the field of crops. His heart stopped instantly and he was dead before he touched the ground. That same day Astrid left the farm, not bothering to say goodbye to her mother or siblings. How could she face them after what she did to her father. After some time Astrid traveled to the US to get an education at one of their colleges majoring in engineering. After college she moved back to the USSR right before the war. It was there that she was contacted by "The Strategic Scientific Reserve." She readily agreed to join eager to take control of the powers that had killed her father.
