[u]Personality[/u]: 

As much as Karina was a "mecha lover" and tinkerer in "our" world who loved to make things, so too is Vashti an engineer at heart who loves the concept of tinkering and building her own creations with spare parts and junk she finds. Like Karina, she feels pushed to not simply accept the status quo if she finds it unfavorable, and can be stubborn when she sets her mind to something like that. As the saying in "our" world goes, "curiosity killed the cat", and Vashti too enjoys seeking out those things she is interested in, even taking risks to get what she wants or to learn what she wants to learn. This being noted, she still possesses an intellectual mind, as well as a truly photographic memory that serves her well in general in learning about things and the like.
 
[u]Brief Backstory[/u]: 

There was a young woman in "our" world, Karina Kuznetsov, a prodigious individual who possessed a photographic memory and was the daughter of a chief engineer for the research and development area of the Russian military. An intelligent kid from a young age, she from a young age enjoyed tinkering on things with her father when her father was home, possessed high grades in her classes, watched a lot of mecha anime online, swam regularly, and generally proved to be an intelligent kid who learned very well. As her father became more and more engrossed in his work, with the growing distance so too did Karina work more on tinkering by herself, learning, and even indulging in hacking as a pastime of hers. As a teenager she also joined a newly formed local robotics league, placing highly often in it within the top two spots each time the group held a tournament. 
 
Eventually, Karina left home after graduating a year early from school, and moved to South Korea to work with a company there that was working on developing actual mechas, having been offered an internship after winning a contest the company held online internationally looking for interns. This internship eventually, when the girl showed great potential and able to pick up quick on things to her superiors, into a full-fledged job for her that she took to rather well. 

In her life as Vashti, she was born to an Alv mother and a Cat Beastkin father, being born a sort of "hybrid" who looked Alv for the most part, but possessed two cat tails. Like any normal Alv she possesses a notable magical potential, yet also has some of the natural agility of her father's people. Her father, a worker and engineer in Grandia who works in the production of greatarmor and has been for decades, was more often home than the father of "Karina". However, with her father being a cat beastkin, her mother and Alb, and herself being a "half-breed" in the eyes of some, she and her family received mixed treatment throughout her life, some hating them and some treating them like normal. Yet her father barely made enough to keep the family afloat as it was at times, due to not being paid very well, and as a result the family was living in a poorer area of the city they took residence in. While this led to Vashti herself getting into adventures and a little trouble naturally from this, she never managed to get caught with anything. 

Though now even with those "other" memories from "our" world all having come back to her suddenly, or perhaps something else altogether happening for all she knows.....well, things are not going to be the same, are they? Especially in a world on the brink of war, and not knowing the truth about all of this...or if her own memories of "this" world along with that "other" one are actually real or not. 

[u]Abilities[/u]:

Her heritage grants her both a large amount of magical potential, whilst she only gets an amount of the natural agility of her cat beastkin father's people. 

[u]Skills[/u]: 

She possesses a perfect photographic memory, a thing that combined with her experiences in schooling and learning in those memories from "our" world makes her a ripe young student. Indeed, this all makes her great on the uptake and application of information as well as information recall and similar things related to a photographic memory. Albeit, to actually make use of this she has to [i]learn[/i] things and be taught.

Further, those memories from the "other" world reltaed to robotics and such make her a prime example of a potential Greatarmor pilot and engineer. Albeit, like with her photographic memory she needs to be [i]taught[/i] things and about these matters to make use of that great potential of hers. 

[u]Equipment[/u]: Nothing

[u]Origin[/u]: Our World
