[indent]Reserved and stoic, Kalina is somewhat socially maladjusted from being raised among active combat personnel her entire life before she entered the WARDEN academy. She possesses little understanding of social norms or civilian culture, having grown up focusing on fighting and soldiering first and foremost. 

Still, Kalina does her best to work with her fellow WARDEN members and help them with what they need, even if she doesn’t understand how certain individuals think or act at times. 

Tends to speak in a neutral tone most of the time, emoting only very rarely.

The girl who would become Kalina Kovalic was born in a minor border nation, orphaned practically from birth by Vangar expansionism. Her town was conquered in less than a day, her parents either killed or scattered to the winds. Had a traveling mercenary troupe not found her, she would have died of exposure. Mylo Kovalic, leader of Mylo's Marauders, found the girl and raised her as his own. 

The Marauders spent years finding their livelihood being choked out, given that they refused to work for Vangar. Every military force they signed up with was defeated by the Empire in short order, and they eventually fled to Rassvet as refugees, albeit much reduced in number. The moment they arrived in-country, Mylo signed the Marauders up as Rassvet auxiliaries. They were redeployed back to the front almost immediately, though not without Mylo watching his little girl who had just turned of qualifying age be press-ganged into the WARDEN academy. For her part, Kalina was eager to join. She had spent the entirety of her life so far powerless waiting for her adoptive family to return from battle constantly, and wished for nothing more than to be able to join them eventually. Mylo was slightly more reluctant, but eventually accepted that she was bound for the battlefield one day. And where else would she receive the best training and care possible?

Ten years passed. Kalina was found to be an expert combatant and pilot on par with a Second Class, but her leadership and tactical assessments proved to be lacking. As it stood, she still passed for Third Class without issue, with the expectation of being able to attempt to qualify for Second in the future with further experience in the field.

Graudation came, and the surviving Marauders all managed to wrangle enough leave away from the front lines to attend, Kalina's father included. When the few friends she'd made during her time at the academy suggested one last hurrah before being deployed to the front, Kalina could only shrug and go along with them. It didn't particularly matter to her what they did until she shipped out, so why not just roll with it and keep them happy?

Vanguard/Combat Support (Pilot)

[u]Combat Style:[/u]
Kalina is a frontline gunblade specialist, skilled in the use of an otherwise esoteric weapon. Her sword style is minimalist and efficient, aiming for economy of movement with minimal exaggeration or flourishes in order to close the gap between blade and flesh as quickly as possible, all backed up by the explosive power of a gunblade. She typically wears medium armor, favoring a balance between mobility and protection. Most of her magical ability is dedicated towards empowering her gunblade's cartridges in order to infuse her weapon's strikes with elemental or defensive augments.

In terms of combat support, Kalina is certified to pilot both fixed-wing and VTOL transport aircraft. Her piloting can best be described as moderately psychotic, as every flight with her is geared towards speed and evading enemy fire, even on a leisurely cruise in friendly skies.
