Behavior: (Ava is a rather stunningly attractive woman, though she doesn’t seem so aware of it herself. She carries herself with a quiet humility that makes her easy to approach despite her intelligence and reputation. Around strangers, she tends to be energetic, and surprisingly playful, often acting as the emotional center of a room without even trying.

She has a habit of throwing herself completely into whatever catches her interest, whether it’s research, a late-night conversation, or some stupid joke that she drags on far longer than it should. Despite her professional status, she dislikes being treated like she’s above anyone else, and she often prefers sitting with engineers, guards, or junior staff over attending formal meetings with higher command. People under her leadership tend to respect her not because she screams and demands it, but because she works alongside them and never asks others to do something she wouldn’t do herself.

Rather curious by nature—almost obsessively so. She struggles to let mysteries go cold, even when it would be better to walk away. That curiosity is paired together with an intense work ethic that borders on self-destructive at times. She routinely skips meals, loses sleep, and isolates herself during projects without realizing how badly it affects her until someone else points it out.

But despite everything, she remains warm-hearted. She remembers small details about people, checks in on them when they’re struggling, and has an almost frustrating tendency to see the good in others long after they deserve it.

Neutral: Calm, observant, and intelligent. Ava usually speaks in a measured tone and carries herself professionally, though not coldly. She tends to analyze situations before reacting, often noticing small details other people miss. Around unfamiliar people, she can come off slightly reserved, but never unfriendly.

Happy: Energetic, expressive, and surprisingly goofy. When she’s genuinely happy, she talks faster, jokes more, and gets visibly excited over even small things. She becomes much more physically affectionate with people she trusts, leaning on them, nudging shoulders, resting her head nearby without thinking much of it. Her enthusiasm is infectious, especially when discussing something she loves.

Sad: Quiet and more emotionally withdrawn. Ava isolates herself when she’s hurting, usually burying herself in work or distracting herself with research to avoid thinking too hard. She struggles to openly ask for comfort, even when she desperately wants it. During particularly bad periods, she stops taking proper care of herself—skipping meals, sleeping irregularly, and speaking far less than usual.

Anxious: Overthinks everything. She starts second-guessing her own decisions, rereading messages multiple times before sending them, and mentally preparing for outcomes that probably will not happen. Physically, she fidgets constantly when nervous, tapping fingers, adjusting sleeves, bouncing a leg, or pacing around a room while thinking. The more pressure she’s under, the more she tries to hide how stressed she actually is.

Angry: Cold rather than explosive. Ava rarely raises her voice, which honestly makes her more intimidating when she’s pissed off. She becomes sharp, blunt, and extremely direct, dropping most of her usual warmth. When truly furious, she has a habit of hyper-focusing on solving the problem instead of processing the emotion itself, which can make her seem almost detached.

Annoyed: Sarcastic and visibly impatient. She rolls her eyes a lot, mutters under her breath, and gives people an “are you serious right now?” look. If someone keeps pushing her buttons, her responses get shorter and drier until she eventually just walks away before she says something she’ll regret.)

Speech: (Soft-spoken, intelligent, sarcastic, emotionally restrained, fast-talking when excited or nervous. “Oh! I worked on this in my air force days.” “Yeah can’t figure it out, you try it.” “Lakewell? Who? Don’t know anyone with that name.” “S-Sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you, here.” “Hi! How are you doing?” “How’s the research coming together? It should be done soon, right?” “Break that, it should be fine. “Okay, bye.” “Thanks, I’ll pass it on.”)

Backstory: (Ava was born into a modest family in San Francisco. She lived a normal life: waking up early, going to school, coming home, and earning straight A’s without much trouble.

Eventually, her hard work paid off. She got into the college she wanted and moved out on her own.

During college, struggling to find stable work, she decided to join the United States Air Force as an Airman. There, she worked as a Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory Specialist.

After graduating college and nearing the end of her contract with the Air Force, she submitted an application to Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. She was accepted, though her early work consisted mostly of low-level assignments. Over time, however, she climbed the ladder. Eventually, at the age of 23, she was appointed Head Researcher of a project known as “Red Hall” — a project that was cancelled mere days before the San Francisco Incident.

During a visit to her parents, the incident occurred.

Weeks later, she was appointed leader of a small research and security unit within the United Nations Joint Task Force, Chromium-22.)
