Absinthe

Absinthe, an operator in Rhodes Island, has a remarkable and tragic background. She was one of the survivors rescued from the Chernobog-Lungmen incident, where Reunion forces occupied Chernobog and plunged the city into chaos. Absinthe, a daughter of a local policeman, witnessed the city's descent into violence and panic as the Catastrophe struck. She worked alongside a small team of police officers, initially trying to maintain order and protect civilians, but they eventually became desperate and resorted to stealing food to survive.

When Absinthe was found by Rhodes Island's rescue team, she was alone and on the brink of starvation, lying amidst the rubble. Her rescue came just in time, as the situation in Chernobog was dire. Throughout the crisis, the people trapped in the city waited in vain for help to arrive.

After joining Rhodes Island, Absinthe underwent training and exams under Instructor Dobermann, satisfying all the standards. Although she lacked natural athleticism and combat skills, she displayed tenacity and quickly became a qualified Caster Operator. However, her careless attitude towards injuries during training and self-destructive tendencies raised concerns about her mental health. She exhibited pessimism, self-loathing, and a tendency to belittle her own achievements.

Another intriguing aspect is Absinthe's strong interest in the activities of the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group, which she didn't know about before joining Rhodes Island. The reasons behind this behavior are unclear, and she avoids discussing it. It is suspected that her experiences at Peterheim Middle School hold some undiscovered facts. Due to the potential negative impact on Rhodes Island, background investigations into her past have been temporarily suspended.

The attack on Chernobog was a part of Reunion's plans, catching the city off guard and occupying it swiftly. Reunion leaders partitioned the city and controlled different zones, with varying degrees of strictness. Violence and chaos prevailed, with some areas relatively safe as long as people stayed indoors, while others experienced gratuitous violence encouraged by Reunion leaders. The police force and military were outnumbered and ill-equipped to handle the situation, and the Catastrophe further weakened the city's defenses. Absinthe's survival in such conditions remains a testament to her resilience and strength.

Despite her troubled past and mental health issues, Absinthe is making progress at Rhodes Island. She actively seeks understanding, tries to make friends, and shows signs of improvement. The medical department closely monitors her mental health, acknowledging her past trauma and the need for caution and empathy when dealing with disaster survivors. Absinthe's parents perished in the incident, and she chose to join Rhodes Island rather than be sent elsewhere, driven by her experiences and the devastation she witnessed.

While Absinthe often appears withdrawn and rarely smiles, she has proven herself reliable and helpful to others. She may underestimate her own actions, but her kindness shines through. The medical department believes that time and support can help heal her emotional scars.

Throughout her ordeal, Absinthe clings to the equipment inherited from her father, embodying a pure idealism and a belief in justice and protecting those in need. Despite the hardships she has endured, her faith in these ideals remains untarnished, a testament to her unwavering spirit.

Absinthe primarily speaks English but will occasionally integrate Russian words like "Понялa," "На этот раз," and "Принята" into her speech
