”There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.” - John C. Maxwell Katja Fyodorovna Orlova
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Nationality: Russian, japanese mother
Appearance:Katja is a star shining bright in Japan, with her looks inheriting next to nothing but gender from her mother. Her snow blonde hair and pale skin courtesy of northern siberian sun only empower the effect she has walking down the street. Even her lips have only the faintest hint of pink. Her 185 cm stand taller than most people on the islands. Katja’s body build suggests she is no pushover, weighing around 73 kilos but not looking overweight. What one immediately notices on her are her icy blue eyes contrasting with her overall complexion.
History:Katja comes from a relatively wealthy family with a merchant tradition reaching as far back as the Tsars with the exception of the communist times when her family used to serve as soldiers. Taking a cue from both eras of her family, Kat went along with her father’s wishes and started studying business management, but also took up fencing and archery as her hobbies.
All was good until the mafia burned down their store. Her father unfortunately didn’t make it out, and her mother decided to leave the town and the sorrowful memories behind and return to her homeland, taking Katja with her.
They had a rather good insurance on the store and savings, so the family is not doing badly on finances, but Nonna’s mom has never really gotten over the loss, and Katja drowns herself in thoughts of revenge she would likely never get. Nonetheless, she continues her studies as a transfer student.
Personality:Due to her upbringing, Katja is well mannered and won’t usually shy from anyone. That however doesn’t mean you are going to like what she says to you. She is downright cold most of the time, but under the ice is a heart. Normal people and their problems don’t interest her as much, but if you have something special or even unique about you, she just might come talk to you.
Her friends she considers family and will do much for them, but if you get on her bad side, you’ll find out why Stalingrad still strikes fear to the hearts of Germans to this day. Her biggest flaw would be her pride.
In her free time, she likes to equally engage both her body and her mind. A bit 'damaged' by her family's social status, she is slightly above the amusement of the 'peasants', choosing a bit eccentric - and expensive - hobbies.
At this time though, she is going through a rather hard period and doesn’t seek out conversation or friends, although she would not just walk away if somebody talks to her.
Skills:Fencing: Katja has been training her swordsmanship since her early teens, becoming rather proficient with the weapon.
Archery: Stronger of her two hobbies, Katja is quite the marksman. She has a customized crossbow and compound bow with which she can reliably hit a target the size of a man up to 750 meters.
Equipment:She has an impressive collection of swords and archery equipment to go with her hobbies. She also drives the H1 Hummer.
Trivia:

- Theme: Youtube
- She is disgusted by anything lower than a fish on the evolution scale and downright scared of spiders.
- She speaks fluent Japanese, English albeit with a thick accent, but when zoning out or under strong emotion, she tends to slip back to Russian.
