Story: An Ursus student and Youth Scout from the Peterheim Middle School in Chernobog, Lada was trapped alongside her schoolmates during the Chernobog uprising. The tragedy forced her to kill other students in order to protect herself for survival... at least, she successfully escaped from the chaos alongside Anna Morozova, Natalya Rostova, Rosalind and Sonya as the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group. Lada, under the codename "Gummy," is making use of her Youth Scout training to fight for Rhodes Island, which has provided the group shelter. Aside from being a combatant, she prefers to spend much time inside the kitchen to provide fresh meals for her allies.

The trauma of the events that occurred in Peterheim is often overwhelming for Gummy. She must never go hungry lest she starts to fall back into old habits, and she also suffers from nyctophobia, sleeping with the light turned on at all times. Even so, Gummy's optimism will help her against any obstacle so that she will have the chance to reunite with her parents who are currently involved in a secret science project. Only time will tell how strong this little girl will become.

Appearance: Gummy has fair porcelain skin and a petite, slim youthful build with narrow shoulders, a small waist, and long slender legs. She has short fluffy pale blonde hair styled into twin pigtails with rounded curled volume, soft bangs, small black hairpins, orange-and-black striped hair ribbons, and a spiral curl at the front. She has bright orange eyes and small rounded facial features. She wears a dark navy sailor-style dress with a white collar, white necktie, dark trim, and a short layered skirt with pale edging. She has fingernails painted red.

She wears an oversized dark gray-black utility jacket with a wide open collar, large loose sleeves, orange accent panels, zipper details, black straps, small patches, and hanging orange tags. A black tactical chest pouch sits across the front with multiple compartments, clipped tools, cylindrical gear pieces, zipper pulls, and orange printed markings. One strap reads “Rh.jihalyams” in black lettering on orange fabric. Her legs are covered by bright orange tights, and she wears glossy dark shoes with ankle straps, silver buckles, and thick soles.

She carries a black frying pan with an orange handle, and a large rectangular shield-like piece of equipment stands beside her, built from gray metal panels, black bolts, orange straps, and heavy mechanical sections. A small gray side container hangs near her hip.

Personality: Gummy is outwardly cheerful, helpful, and eager to make herself useful around others, especially through cooking. She often acts simple and upbeat, but that brightness covers severe trauma from Peterheim Middle School. Hunger, darkness, and sudden fear can pull her back into survival habits she does not fully control. She tries hard to stay friendly because kindness is one of the few parts of herself she can still protect after what happened in Chernobog.

Her closest ties are with the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group. Zima acts like the rough leader of the survivors, while Istina understands more than she usually says. Rosa’s guilt and status make her relationship with the group more painful, and Leto shares the same buried history from Peterheim. At Rhodes Island, Gummy is treated as both an Operator and a traumatized child who needs careful support, especially when food or darkness could trigger memories she is still trying to survive.

Combat Overview: Gummy fights as a defensive front-line Operator who protects nearby allies while keeping them alive with prepared meals. She does not cover much distance in a fight, so her role is to hold a narrow point, absorb pressure, and stop enemies from slipping past. She is sturdier than she first appears, with enough endurance to keep standing through heavy pressure, though she is not as purely armored as heavier Defenders. Her frying pan is more than a cooking tool; she swings it hard enough to stagger enemies, sometimes stunning them long enough to interrupt their advance.

Her support style comes through her cooking. With Provisions, Gummy passes food to wounded allies near her, restoring them without leaving her position. With Cooking, she briefly stops attacking so she can prepare a stronger meal, bracing herself while she works. Once it is ready, she becomes more active again and focuses on feeding nearby allies instead of striking enemies, turning her position into a small emergency shelter in the middle of combat.

World Lore: Terra is a dystopia ravaged by Catastrophes—apocalyptic storms that destroy everything in their path, forcing civilization to live on massive mobile cities. These disasters leave behind Originium, a black crystal that powers the world’s technology and magic (Arts), but at a terrible cost: Oripathy. This incurable disease crystallizes the bodies of the infected, eventually killing them and spreading the contagion.

Society is fractured by this plague. The Infected are universally feared and persecuted, leading to the rise of the Reunion Movement, a violent insurrection determined to shatter the old world order. Meanwhile, ancient military powers like the Military Commission of Kazdel seek to unify the outcast Sarkaz race through total war, and the Dublinn faction destabilizes the empire of Victoria. Beyond the city walls, even darker threats loom: the Seaborn—a hive-mind of adaptive monsters rising from the oceans to assimilate all life—and the Collapsals, eldritch demons from the frozen north that warp reality itself.

Standing between Terra and total annihilation is Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company and paramilitary organization. Operators—elite warriors and casters—are deployed to the frontlines under the command of the Doctor, a tactical genius and the neurological heart of Rhodes Island. Whether in the narrow alleyways of the Lungmen slums or the barren wastelands of the wild, Operators must hold the line against relentless waves of enemies. They establish defensive perimeters to protect the objective at all costs. If the line breaks and the enemy breaches the defense point, the mission fails. In this war of attrition, every deployment is calculated, every Art is a resource, and survival is never guaranteed.
