Jana's most obvious features are her shoulder-length locks of chocolate-brown hair and her distinctive hazel-green eyes. Her face is slightly-oval in shape, her nose pert, and her lips a healthy shade of pink. She stands at a height of one hundred and sixty eight centimetres tall and her posture befitting that of a trained fighter. Her build is athletic and lean, with a healthy share of muscles gained through her highly physical lifestyle and its associated training. She is highly lithe and agile, and her figure clearly represents one who is familiar with climbing, fighting and other highly physical manoeuvres a warrior might need to go through. jana's pale ivory complexion comes with a light smattering of freckles, and boasts a hint of golden undertones. It is also unblemished except for a pair of scars on her left arm and right leg that she acquired long ago during a careless training accident. 

Due to the common assumption that attractive looking women cannot possibly exist in the police force, she is usually not assumed to belong to the police, which enables her to do her duty well when undercover and not in uniform. Off duty, her hair is usually worn down and she can be seen in comfortable set of a black tank top, a pair of brown cargo pants and black trainers. On duty, she used to wear the black uniformed garb that was atypical of the police deployed in the event of a terrorist threat. Now transferred to the Federal Police in Berlin after an exemplary track record, she decided to apply for the world renown CT unit. Following her successful survival of both the gruelling and intensive trainings to find herself within the ranks of the famed elite counter terriorst unit, the Grenzschutzgruppe 9 (GSG9), she now wears the standard special ops gear issued to all officers within its ranks.

In-Depth Personality:

Her nickname comes from the small explosive device that is primarily designed to produce a large amount of noise. The name was given to her due to her voracious and big personality. Extremely outgoing and boisterous, she is definitely not a quiet individual. Frequently loud in the company of friends, she loves to make jokes and is definitely a fun-seeker when not on duty. Highly observant and cautious, her movements are confident and fluid, putting thought of consideration in her actions. Deep in thought, her furrowed brows may convey the impression that she is an angry individual, she is simply determined with keeping her eyes on the prize. 

Highly focused and attentive while on mission, as the team's medic, she has to be focused and confident of her abilities especially when it comes to a situation where she has to save a wounded team mate. At heart, she is friendly and having a great sense of humour, she is an all-round lover of jokes. While on duty though, she sheds her humorous nature as she becomes an incredibly focused and determined individual who is not only practical but is also a keen problem solver apart from being highly adaptable to constantly changing situations and circumstances. While she possess a fair amount of leaderships skills, and has no problem leading if she needs to, her preference lies towards being a follower and an effective team player. Highly optimistic and often referred to as the team's source of morale support, her cheery and energetic personality is a boon to any team in dark times as she frequently encourages and motivates her fellow team mates in times of need.

Character background: (3 detailed paragraphs minimum)

Jana was born in Hamburg, Germany and lived there for the majority of her life. She grew up in a single parent family with simply her father for company. Her mother died not too long after she was born, taken by complications of childbirth. Not exactly blessed with a high-paying job and with a variety of vices to feed, he struggled to support the family with the paltry income he had. Despite engaging in smoking and drinking often, it was fortunate that like many other drunkards, he did not turn abusive under the influence of alcohol. As soon as she grew old enough, she began to take up part-time jobs in order to have an income of her own, as her father was little to help, as what little money he had left went to paying the bills, leaving almost nothing for her to use. The periods she spent at school was a whirl, as time went by really quickly as she would rush to her various part-time jobs after school ended for the day.

Not too long after her eighteenth birthday, two state police officers came knocking at her home door one day, only to inform her that her father was dead. His corpse was found in a back alley by a kitchen assistant who had gone out to throw the trash. It seemed like he had been mugged and stabbed, left for dead, his body laying on the ground as he bled to death. A momentary period of disbelief came over her, but somehow that was all it was. There was no grief that usually came along with a parent passing, as he was never a father to her, nor had he ever acted as one. The disbelief was not about the fact of his passing, but the fact that she was now alone. As bad and as useless as he was, at least the house wasn't as lonely as it was now. After Jana recovered from her adjustment phase, she filed a application to join up with the State Police. Graduating from the police academy after two and half years of training, she began a career as a patrol officer who dealt in the everyday police matters. She eventually progressed on to a more senior position where she became in charge of training and guiding her fellow officers on the ground. As the years went on, terrorism threat became more prevalent in the country and both the police forces require more manpower to counter the increasing threat of both internal and external terrorists activities. Having a excellent track record soon proved fruitful as she was recommended by her superiors to fill the ranks of a newly created division. 

She along with other her officers were deployed in public areas, such as stadiums, train stations and shopping malls both to safeguard the local populace as well as to act as a show of force to deter anyone from doing something stupid. Expressing her interest of first-aid to her superiors, she was eventually sent on a first-aid course, supplementing her work knowledge and keeping her hands full and her time fully utilised. After four years of service, Jana voiced out her dream of joining the GSG9. They laughed at her, all of them. While the service has always been open to women, very few had managed to survive the gruelling trainings that they would have to undergo to call themselves apart of their elite counter-terror unit. They kept persuading her to change her mind, indicating that she had little to no chance of making the cut and she would simply be wasting her time, Jana, however, was not inclined to listen. Once she had decided on something, she always saw it through with an iron will. This would be no different. She was then subsequently transferred to the Federal Police in Berlin, where she began the start of the training and processes that would see if she was worthy.

After twenty-two weeks of training, which included thirteen weeks of basic training and nine weeks of specialised training, she found herself at the finishing point, having survived the entirety of the training process. She had beaten countless other recruits, most of which was men, who all similarly vied for the open positions within the team. She was eventually selected to be a combat medic for a squad, and began to undergo more weeks of specialised combat medic training. None of her previous teams knew the results of her training, as the members of the GSG9 were kept a secret. Now part of the unit for four years, she has served the unit with pride and commitment. Those in charge of assembling the task force known as Trident had apparently liaised with both the Federal Intelligence Service and the Federal police, and as a show of appreciation for the close friendship between the two countries, Germany has offered to send no more than a single operative from their elite counter-terror unit. Jana volunteered for the position and was subsequently send over to the United States to be part of the task force.
