Nadezhda Moskvin

---

Since the attack on Berlin Nadezhda had been kept busy. Being recalled to duty as the news quickly spread across the globe of the alien attack, and then again when she was contacted by some top secret organisation of offering her a chance to help save humanity from the alien threat. Nadezhda jumping at the chance to do her part. She took the offer barely a day later she went some remote location not far away to be picked up by an aircraft she never seen anything like before.

Once at the base Nadezhda listened closely during orientation making mental notes although as the person given spoke of just what she’d be protecting the planet form and brought up a picture of a sectoid as an example. Nadezhda felt her heart rate increase get several flashes of images of the things she saw in Berlin. But she pushed them down and focused on what being said and took comfort in the fact next time she saw one of those little large headed bastards she’d be armed and able to fight back.

Once in the barracks listened to the Lt. Kyo introduce himself. Nadezhda gave the man a quick salute. Before turning her attention to the rest of the squad as they introduced themselves. Making mental notes of their names. Nadezhda pleased she’d be working with another Australian.

Once everyone else had gone Nadezhda took a large sigh. Knowing it was her turn to introduce herself.
“I’m Nadezhda Moskvin pleased to meet you all. I’ll be your field engineer for the for seeable future look forward to working with and getting to know you all. Do not hesitate to call on me should I be of use to any of you.” she spoke giving small wave to everyone.

With her introduction done Nadezhda gave a contented sigh her stance shifting into a relaxed on as she folded her arms and a small smile formed. Nadezhda wondering just how well she’d get along with these people.

XCOM: Retaliation

Name: Nadezhda Moskvin
Age: 25
Nationality: Russian

Appearance:

Biography: Born in Russia Nadezhda cannot recall the motherland. Her mother emigrating to Australia when she was still just a baby. Growing up in loving family with both her parents. Nadezhda cam to idolise her father forms a young again. Her father maimed former Russian soldier who badly injured in the line of duty. Nadezhda growing up on cleaned up stories of her father exploits. Always lacking the most bloody details until she old enough to handle it.

Eventually wanting to emulate her father Nadezhda ended up enlisting in the Australian army at 18. Sending the first couple years as a basic solider and seeing her first tour of duty in the middle east. Upon her return, Nadezhda felt like a change while wanting to stay in the army she looked into crouse and training and ended up taking training to be a combat engineer. Having small interest in several parts that were involved in the position. The training turning those interests into things she loved and Nadezhda passed her course top of her class. Nadezhda finding what she was being taught came somewhat naturally to her.

From there she simply continued to merely go where she was deployed earning several distinctions forms her commanding officers. The alien threat became real shock for Nadezhda when she on shore leave in Berlin when the Aliens attacked. Although she was able to be evacuated she was trapped in the city for part of the attack before rescue. Letting her see first and just what aliens were capable of.

After the attack, she was called back to duty and soon after that X-COM recruited her. The events of Berlin leaving a their mark on Nadezhda not that she’ll speak about it to anyone

Base of Operations: Australia.

Squad: (Will be assigned)

Class: Engineer

Rank: Squaddie

Personality: Nadezhda’s personality depends whether she is or is not on the field.
While not on the field Nadezhda is fairly happy laid back person. Quite content to go about her duties or business on her own. At times try to mingle with squadmates as she feels like it and won't pass up the chance to interact with them should the approach her. Unless she really hates them. Then they’ll get told to sod off.
On the field Nadezhda will try to act like good soldier and follow orders although she may question them if she thinks they are really stupid and thinks she had a better idea. She’ll always do her best to work with her squad even if it has someone she doesn’t get along within it.

Other: Nadezhda tends to keep a tally of her kills by marking her armour. Provided she knows it was her who got the kill.
Although Nadezhda speaks English she has a partial Russian accent form her parents and tends to swear in Russian, she also can speak Russain.
She also tends to mutter to herself when thinking.

Strengths:
Team Player: Out in the field Nadezhda will follow her orders do her best to work with her squad. Even if she dislikes or distrust a squad member and will go out of her way to support them as needed. Even if it means taking a plasma round for them. Hoping by doing this they’ll do the same for her. She will, however, draw the line and giving her life for her squadmates.

Quick Witted: Nadezhda is very good at thinking on her feet and can quickly come up with idea’s and apply them effectively.

Weaknesses:
Fear of Psionics: Being in Berlin when aliens attacked Nadezhda as developed fear of Psionics and tends to panic when the aliens use them on her even if she manages to resist. She tends target aliens she knows have Psionic powers even if they’re better targets or more important targets. If the squad is flanked or ambushed by Psionic aliens, she may also panic
It also makes her distrustful allies with Psionics. Although she’ll still work with them to the best of her ability, she’ll try to keep her distance

Katya

---

Even if she was one of the last to arrive to the party. Katya was pleased to see she had not missed too much of the fun. Looking around from her spot along the wall she could see people seemed to be enjoying themselves and for now Katya’s was content watching. Although it was partly out of nerves the last party she had been too. Had been back home and she knew everyone by name and knew what each one had done in the last few days. Although that was typical for an outpost, given they tightknit community and everyone knew what everyone else was doing. So being in a party with people she didn’t know or didn’t know well made her feel nervous. Something that amused her greatly given she had fought Cruxi in battle. Yet she still got nervous about not knowing everyone in the room well.
“It’s weird.” she muttered to herself pulling on her blouse so it sat better. Pleased she had opted to wear thermal legings and a vest as she was starting to feel a little cold.

When Zim came over. Katya was pleased, although wished he had waited for a moment as she was about to investigate the food on offer. Seeing cupcakes and some other foodstuff she had yet to try or learn the name of. Having seen it on offer in the mess. Although Katya made a note to avoid trying new food form the mess given it was never any good.

Zim's greeting earned a funny looked form Katya as his happy voice was uncharacteristic for him. Katya wondering if something was going on or something was wrong with him. The young woman about to ask when Zim mentioned he had wanted to talk to her for a while now. Which earned an interested looked.
“Oh? What about?” she asked interest and curiosity lining her words. Katya noticing Paladins wave emoji and gave him a small wave back before focusing back on Zim. Hoping the Ai would keep itself of this.

However, Zim’s words and him offering Katya her headband back earned a rather large frown form Katya. Given as much as she wanted it back she could not take it without dishonouring his people's customs and to her the few customs her outpost had were important to her. Given they something that reminded her of home reminded her of a part of the reason why she was willing to fight. Katya was about to cut Zim off when the a commotion the dance floor got her attention. Although it only lasted for a few moments before she lost interest putting her attention back to Zim

The rest of his words were listened and when the crowd watching the dance contest got loud she glanced at them and frowned not hearing everything Zim said although heard enough to know it was something important. So when he said it again and she heard him her eye darted away Katya’s cheeks going a little red as she noticed the emojis Paladin was showing.
“Dam it Paladin, how dumb do you think I am? When I get my hands on you next your going inside a toaster.” she thought looking back at Zim. Making a mental note next time she had that Ai in her hands to turn whatever it was hiding inside into something unpleasant.

Katya was about to speak when Zim asked him to excuse him the young woman giving a nod. Gesturing for him to go deal with the situation. Katya knowing she should step in and help given her role within the squad but given Zim had beaten her to it and Ariin had also told Irina to leave. So Katya was content to leave it and only get involved if the woman started to act up. Although she was pretty pissed at Irina for making that girl cry as it was just out of line. Parties where meant to be fun not something where you're brought to tears at.
“I’ll have checked in on the girl. When I see her next.” Katya thought, not willing to go off and chase her given she had no idea where she went so figured it would be wasted energy given the base was not exactly small and there where many places a person could hide.

When Ariin came over Katya found it a little difficult to make eye contact with young man for a moment. The young woman a little unsure how to handle being around the pair of boys after Paladins little stun.
“Hi Ariin. You feeling alright?” Katya spoke wanting to check in him make sure he wasn’t going to over and try to pick a fight with Irina. As if he did she would need to stop him. Katya unsure how she would do just that if he did opt to pick a fight with Irina.

“So Ariin this is pretty cool party I was quite surprised when I got the invite. But thanks for inviting me. I appreciated I know I’m not the most fun person to be around mostly working on Caretaker, or reading someone on my tablet.” she spoke her tone implying she was a little nervous. Katya unsure how to act now Paladin had put everything out in the open.
“Also … could you remind me to have talk with that Ai of yours at some point.”

Katya

---

Even since her chat with Jake and Maria, Katya spent most of her free time doing work on Caretaker. Finding it helped keep her mind of Elora and Serah. Although more so Elora, Katya finds herself worrying about the young pilot enough that at times it distracted her. Causing her to make mistakes, hoping that she was not suffering too much. Even if Katya felt deep down Elora could handle whatever Lorenzo put her thought she still was concerned and continued to dwell on what Elora had tell her on board the NOAH. But Katya had no idea how to look into the matter. Although she had sent a little time going over the database of known Cruxi units.

When the invite to the party came Katya had sent some time wondering if she should even go. Looking at the invite on her tablet during a lunch break she was sharing with one of the engineers assigned to Caretaker. A fellow Kromm native who Katya had formed a friendship with. Someone Katya had shared quite a few details of her thoughts and feelings with. So talked to her about it.

By the time that conversation came to an end, Katya had decided to go and she would even try to let down her hair a little more. Having become aware some of the squad might have seen her a little serious. Given she didn’t really do much with most of them beyond talk. Katya feeling she needed to keep some level of distance from her squadmates in order just in case she ever had to make hard calls involving them or something happened.

So when it came time to get ready, she figured she take the chance to dress in her casual clothes. Figuring if she going to a party she’d let her hair down and try to have a little fun. After all its not like they got to have parties all that often. It would be nice not to have to worry about anything other than having a little bit of fun.
Katya put on something she figured would be good. A blend of her clothes she had brought with her and had acquired since joining the squad. Katya enjoying being able to acquire things she simply could not back home. Although it made her think just how isolated her home outpost was. In the grand scheme of things.

She shook her head and sighed. Hoping she’d not be over or under dressed give. Katya had little idea how she should dressed for a party like this given back home gathers people just wore whatever they liked. Which most the time was worn or dirty clothes. Katya hoping her attire would be okay given beyond her dress uniform this was the nicest thing she had. After a moment spent convincing herself it would be fine she sprayed her hair with something she brought with her from home that made it shimmer a little in the light. Something she liked and she hoped it might get the particular attention pair of boys or at very least one of them.

Thinking that would be enough Katya headed down to the party being one of the last to arrive she quietly slipped in finding Arrin she greeted him and thanked him for the invite. Before finding a spot out of the way. A little unsure on how of people not form her world did parties. Katya feeling a little uncomfortable so retreated to a wall. Thinking maybe she should not have come. Glancing around the room, she could see somewhere in military dress or a nice dress making her feel under dressed for the party.

Valéria

---

After the little incident with Elizabeth, Val just went about her duties. Having no care about the red-headed pilot. Val unwilling to admit the woman had annoyed her so took it out on her sparring partner later that day the incident had happened during hand to hand training.

When the invite came, Val was trying to meditate on her bed but the sound of her table notifying of her the message disrupted her. The woman jumping and quickly flicking up her hood only to see was only her tablet. Leaving her to swear in her native tongue. As she pulled her hood back down. Rubbing the top of her head as she stood up and grabbed her table.
“Party? Might be fun I not been to a social event since little brothers birthday.” Val said to herself having decided she would go.

So when it came time she arrived after Zim wearing her normal fatigues having nothing else to wear beyond her dress uniform and doubted it would be needed. Figuring they would be best. Although did change her hood to a red one with a swirl pattern on it that seemed didn’t hug her head as tightly as her military hood. But it covered a little more of her face but if one looked close enough, they could make out the bottom of her ears. Val picking this one out as it was her favourite hood and it was more comfortable then military one. Which she found to be a little starchy on the top of her head.
For the party Val did up her face paint with black and gold. The colours that when combined to her own kind meant she could
Drawing a gold line down her nose a pair of black handprints over her eyes. A pair of gold lines that started at the edge of her lips run down her jaw until the meet and then down her neck. To her kind, this meant was to help draw attention to her, but keep people eyes away form her eye.. Val not a fan of prolonged eye contact.

At the party was quick to greet Ariin and Paladin with bow and “thank you for the invite.” Before taking a moment to investigate the food helping herself to some pizza having fondness for it. With Pizza in hand Val find a wall to proper herself against. For the moment she’d just watch those who come and enjoy her pizza, although she would speak anyone who approached her. Even Elizabeth provided she was more respectful than last their encounter. Otherwise this time she might just have to show that stuck up princess that annoying a Haath soldier was not a good idea.
“Far too much hair. Damn it’s ugly.” she muttered pulling of Elizabeth as she started to scan the room.
