Lappland | Stalker (Arknights)

Lappland's real identity is unknown, her background a mystery. She has demonstrated impressive destructive prowess in tactical assaults and search-and-destroy missions. She is currently a special ops Operator for Rhodes Island.

We have struggled to understand Lappland's personality. Some consider her simply mad, despite how polite and personable she can be in daily life. She actively seeks out people to converse with, indulging her taste for gallows humor, eager to see how her conversation partners will respond. Still, we know Lappland to be a dangerous element, and even at her most well-behaved, she remains frightening. Lappland has been marked for close medical observation due to severe symptoms of Oripathy. According to as yet unconfirmed reports, Lappland might have come from a certain family in Siracusa known for moving in certain dangerous circles, but scouring all active and inactive lists involving Siracusa failed to connect Lappland to any of the families. Because of the extreme risk involved in probing the Siracusan families, the investigation has been terminated.

Lappland's Oripathy symptoms go beyond the physical to cause an abnormal obsession toward a certain target of hers, even spurring her to excessive violence. Although Rhodes Island has exerted some degree of control over her behavior while deployed, she still does more or less whatever she wants in battle, which has been a problem for coordinated operations with her teammates. Lappland's rather unique symptoms seem to enhance her fighting abilities—very rare among Infected. Her weapon, a specially designed eastern-style sword, complements her Arts. She appears to wield her Originium power untrained, through raw talent alone. Even though Lappland's powers decay rapidly when released, her deceptive fighting style and explosive offensive abilities have allowed her to master her weaknesses. Furthermore, Lappland's uncanny ability to discern weakness neutralizes virtually any advantage an opponent with Originium power or other special ability may have. She is able to counter her enemy's attacks completely after only a few moments of observation.

Based on scattered reports and eyewitness accounts, Operator Lappland has a close personal connection to Penguin Logistics employee Texas, a liaison from the company to Rhodes Island. Texas, for her part, makes a concerted effort to avoid contact with Lappland. Still, in situations where they were forced to work together, Lappland has not gone out of her way to antagonize Texas. In fact, she seems to be taking some degree of pleasure in Texas playing hard-to-get, as it were. Lappland treats other PL personnel cordially, but they have not warmed to her, and their meetings are always rather awkward (though thankfully rare). Lappland tries to get along with other Rhodes Island Operators, as long as no one gets in her way.

All Lupus Operators display a guarded reaction to Operator Projekt Red's presence, with Operator Lappland exhibiting the most intense, most uncontrollable aura of dread and animosity, as well as inexplicable-euphoria. Until a solution is devised to mitigate the tension, keeping the two separated is advised.

In the future, you may want to think carefully about how you handle Lappland. She's a lone wolf (note: this is Lupus slang for a Lupo ostracized from the community) who's been hurt. She's lost her family and will never truly be a part of another one. You don't need to know what's been keeping her alive till now, and you can try to heal her wounds, but remember this: Madness can never be healed. Nothing in her past should happen again. If you still decide to keep her around, you'll ultimately be faced with a choice... Maybe you're not yet mentally ready to fight her. So please, listen to my advice again: For your sake and the sake of those you care about, do choose wisely.

Lappland has long, wild silver hair with wolf-like ears. She wears a black, open trench coat over a white crop top, revealing a toned midriff with originium crystals embedded in her body. Her shorts are dark and minimalistic, matching the edgy, futuristic look. Her expression is calm and confident, but she can burst into energy at any moment. Lappland has gray eyes. And extremely white skin, almost pure white.

Lappland has more generous "assets" than Texas. Lappland has a thick, sultry Italian accent while Texas sounds dry.
