Appearance
Blessed with youthful-looking genes, Anya does tend to give off a young girlish look. She stands at 5'7" somewhere among the average for women in the helljumpers. Her locks are a shade of honey blonde that falls down her shoulders that she tries to maintain as best as she can in her circumstances. Her eyes are a lively shade of sky blue, and they are often expressive, revealing her emotions as often as they come. Her nose is slender and her lips a healthy shade of pink. In times of happiness, darling little dents of delight appear on her youthful visage, the dimples ever present whenever any form of smile or grin makes itself known. Her built is slim and toned, but nothing to overly boast about, but it is still more than physically fit to cope with the demands of being an ODST.
Attire
Anya utilizes the Sharpshooter variant of the standard ODST BDU. The standard right pauldron is removed to give her more flexibility and mobility in combat, allowing her to move and aim more freely, while the standard left pauldron is switched to a larger plate to protect the sniper's arm from counterattacks. She is also issued with an optics device attached to the helmet, which the Oracle scope on the SRS99 can uplink to her HUD.

Personality
Quiet but focused, and competent at what she does best, Anya is a confident and efficient ODST trooper. Singled out for her exceptional accuracy and marksmanship since the very beginning, it has always been something she took great pride in. Although she may not be the talkative sort, she is easy enough to get along with and tends to have great teamwork and strong feelings of camaraderie with her team mates. Highly loyal, she does what it takes to save her friends and team mates, even going beyond protocols if necessary. Known to have a competitive streak within her, that can sometimes be a double-edged sword that can affect her performance at times if she does not reign it in herself or have anyone else to remind her to do so. She has a stubborn persistence once she sets her mind on something and her self-determination is definitely not to be under-estimated.
Biography
Anya Taskov, also known as 'Hex' or 'Witch' in reference to the ancient meaning of the word which used to mean a magic spell, or curse upon someone. She gained the nickname after her uncanny accuracy, for once she sets her sights upon you, she'll get you at costs. This applies to when she is behind the scope of her rifle, and without. Her team mates know better than to get on her wrong side in fear or angering her for real. She is the daughter of a UNSC Colonel and Major. Coming from a military background, there was never any doubt that she would follow in the footsteps of her parents. She knew that her parents would be enrolling her into a military academy as soon as they could.
She performed admirably well in both her studies and sports, although she did have some issues where she ended up in fights whenever she had to defend one of her friends in their fights. After graduating with honours, Anya managed to convince Marcus, a close childhood friend of hers to enlist in the UNSC as well. It wasn't long after she enlisted that she discovered her aptitude and natural talent for marksmanship. She could hit most of the targets with any weapon, and was even more lethal when she was allowed access to a sniper rifle. After graduating from Marines basic training, she was slotted into the sharpshooter role within a squad, assigned as a designated marksman, providing fire support for her team mates. During the Red Devil campaign, she and her platoon managed to hold off waves of Covenant troops from overrunning a crucial forward base that was essential in the attempt for the final push of Covenant forces off the planet. Providing sniper support from her perch, she was able to turn the tide, pushing the odds to their favour. After the victory, Anya applied to join the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and was subsequently accepted into its ranks after extensive training.
She was assigned to the UNSC 105th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and took battle in several battles and campaigns against the Covenant and travelled across many worlds. Her last known mission before Operation Grey Axe was Operation Blue Sword where she and her team was to play a key role in assisting other grounds teams in eliminating a Covenant supply base.
