katya seryozha

backstory: Katya Seryozha, In 1999, when Noob Union was already in ruins after the lost war with NETO, and the new Nussian Federation was just trying to get back on its feet, life became a constant calculation. Money disappeared, jobs vanished, and debts grew faster than January snow. Katya was one of the brightest students in the journalism department. Smart, disciplined, with a sharp tongue and an even sharper gaze. It was there, at university, that she met Ella and Randrey. She even brought them together—she joked that she became their "godmother." Their friendship grew strong, almost like family. After graduation, Katya didn't work for official newspapers. She became an independent journalist—the kind who digs where others fear. She wrote about corruption, about shadowy creditors, about the "Bratva" (Brotherhood)—the very same mafia that, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, filled all the voids of power. The risk was enormous, and Katya understood it. That's why she always carried a small JS-2 Derringy chambered for .41 in her purse. Compact, reliable, and most importantly, discreet. The first time a pistol saved her was in 1997. Ella's ex-boyfriend, drunk and angry, came to "sort things out." He attacked Ella right at the entrance to her apartment building. Katya didn't hesitate. She fired one shot—a precise one to the shoulder. The guy fell, howling in pain. From then on, Ella called her her "personal security." And in 1998, things got really serious. Katya received material from a mole within the Bratva—documents that could bring down an entire network. She handed them over to the authorities and published what could be published. A week later, a killer approached her. Night, a dark alley, two shots to the back. But Katya managed to turn around. Derringy responded twice. One of the attackers fell for good, the second fled, leaving a trail of blood. After this incident, Katya retreated into the shadows. Officially, she "disappeared." In reality, she simply moved several times, changed her documents, and now lived quietly, but continued to write. She occasionally visited Ella and Randrey—even after they moved to Kanata, she found a way to come. Friendship was the only thing that didn't require a blood debt. Besides her intelligence, Katya is known for her friendly and sociable nature, which fuels a strong sense of protectiveness that manifests whenever she sees one of her friends in an unfavorable situation. She's also known for taking matters into her own hands when she deems it necessary. Her skin is yellow. She's wearing a red strapless dress with an asymmetrical hem, white mesh gloves that reach up to her mid-biceps, and gray ballet flats. She also has a gold chain around her neck. 22 years old
