[b]Role:[/b] Automatic Rifleman [b]Physical Description:[/b] Most individuals who see Kristjana for the first time would quickly guess that she has Icelandic or Scandinavian blood running through her veins - and those people would be correct. Her pale blonde hair, bright blue eyes and stature are common physical characteristics in that part of the world. Her shoulders are broad and taut; her muscle mass lean and clearly outlined as if a sculptor had carefully pressed the lines into her skin.

At a young age, she competed in any and every sport she could join. She took part of the Track team in middle school and then joined the Olympic Weight Lifting team a few years later. She fell in love with the hard work, the short nights, the pain and soreness, the restrictive diet, and most of all, the mental toughness needed to pull through it all. Knowing Iceland didn’t have a military force on land, she joined the Icelandic Coast Guards as soon as her age permitted it, leaving her family and village behind; though she always kept in touch with them, and sometimes the promise of a visit during the holidays was the only thing that motivated her. With the ICG, Kristjana did everything from ice operations to search and rescue missions. Already a long term addict of the sought after adrenaline rush, time flew by and she reached the third rank of enlistment in her three years of service – which was not uncommon. Having the dreaded feeling that she wasn’t progressing anymore, the young Coast Guard decided it was time for a new challenge. Kristjana set sail to the United Kingdom and established Manchester as her home. She knew enough English to get around, but found it difficult to assimilate the language fully. After working low paying jobs in markets and coffee shops just over a year, Kristjana was fluent enough to start coaching in a small time gym. She remained at the same gym for nearly three years when she finally decided to go off on her own. She mostly coached weightlifting athletes privately until she was able to get her UK citizenship. The day she enlisted in the British Military was the day her life really started, or so she believed. Her determination and the skills she acquired in the ICG helped her climb the ranks quickly. She first served in the Reserves before earning a place in the 38th Infantry Brigade in the 3rd Division. After earning her Corporal rank, Kristjana joined The Rifles Brigade’s 2nd division for five years. However, her experience with ICG and her expertise regarding search and rescue lead her serve with the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment in St-Athan. Kristjana is still trying to convince her family to come to the UK, though it’s proven to be a difficult task. Yet She understands their reticence fully as she too misses her home. [b]Psychological Profile:[/b] Krisjtana is family oriented which makes teamwork and loyalty extremely important to her. She approves of transparency amongst soldiers and does her best to be forward about everything she does. Her determination and never-give-up attitude is most likely her strongest characteristic, yet sometimes she believes she can save everyone no matter how dire the situation causing casualties to play negatively on her morale. She performs just as well under pressure than during training missions and can withstand a lot of mental hardships before even considering breaking.
