History

Anya serves as a support-oriented crew member aboard a confined space vessel, where prolonged isolation and interpersonal tension gradually erode her mental stability. She acts as the doctor on board (dispute being a nurse), and also handles the mental health of the Crew. Initially attempting to fulfill her role responsibly, she becomes increasingly affected by the environment and the behavior of others. Her tendency to internalize stress and avoid confrontation contributes to her psychological decline, leaving her dependent on routine and fragile coping mechanisms. Jimmy (the co-pilot) at one point on the long trip, raped her, leading to her mental state further worsening. This led to Jimmy crashing the ship to avoid responsibility.
