Her right arm is made with a rough and ready nature to it, good enough to be of service and make her life comfortable, but nothing beyond that. Her legs are of a similar nature, although they are slightly mismatched in design, with the left being smoother than the more angled nature of the right. The rest of her body is left with the scars of the conflict too, with many old cuts or faded burns showing through the muscles on her rather pale skin. Her hair is mess of faded auburn strands, which she allows to just do whatever it wants. Cold brown eyes. Height: 5'11 " Weight: 172lbs Personality: Scarred would be an easy way of describing Valeryia, the girl having gone through so much for her age. She has a rather sour outlook on life, seeing the worst out of most possible situations, yet despite this she is determined to keep on living pretty much fueled by spite. She’s become twitchy and nervous and tends to place herself on the edge of any room she enters, only really feeling safe if she’s got solid ground against back. She can be extremely slow to trust, especially in many situations where there isn’t a clear-cut business deal and she can’t understand someone's motives. In fact she has a general trouble in understanding others, never really having grasped the subtleties which go into a lot of that in her time serving as a young soldier. Lera can be extremely possessive sometimes, often baulking at the idea of letting anyone touch her things, even if there’s not much to protect. However when it comes to decision making she will often defer to whatever higher authority there is for her set of “orders”. Having spent so much of her life operating strictly on commands she now finds herself in an almost need for a structure to properly exist for her to function. Biography: Valeryia grew up in eastern Ukraine, during the Donbass conflict with her parents serving as stringent separatists. Extremely early in her life, around the age of 3 the house they were living in was struck by mortar fire, severely disabling her. Afterwards she was found by more pro-sepratist militants and only saved and patched up on the persuasion of her parents, being given cybernetic limbs to account for her lost ones. After a while of being trained with weapons till she was around 10 in a fight her parents were killed. In a spur of the moment desire for revenge she decided to enlist in sepratist paramilitary forces. There she served alongside other young soldiers for the next seven years, dancing with death several times, although rarely engaging in direct firefights with government soldiers. During that time the others with her formed a relatively tight bond, one which came to an end when a frag grenade took out many of her comrades. - This mentally was the final straw of the conflict for her. She'd managed to get no revenge and only opened herself to horrors on a daily basis. Now the remaining people she cared about were gone too. In the end she was pulled from the rubble after a ceasefire by workers from an international organization and taken away from the conflict to germany. It was during this time that she actually got a rudimentary education, the workers wanting to try and ensure that after she left their refugee camp she could have a chance at achieving as normal a life as she could. Four years later and she has finally begun training as an engineer, mainly as a form of rehabilitation as a former solider to help her war-torn homeland. Although she is hoping to become experienced enough to work with cybernetics, especially in repair for people like herself. Other: ★ code is D2691E In her years of active service she has 5 confirmed kills and 12 unconfirmed, she only saw the face of one of the people she killed but their face still haunts her to this day. She occasionally tries to make up stories about him to make herself feel better, it never works. Despite nights with almost constant bad sleep, she refuses to take drugs to make herself feel better. Will bandage her cybernetic limbs up/ put a plaster on them when she scuffs them. Doesn't know she's a fragmented, the little differences with her compared to those around her being chalked up to post combat trauma. Likes to keep her hair long and messy after years of having to crop it very short. [/hider]
