General Information & Appearance

• Basic Details: Miroslava, 22 years old. Born and raised in Ukraine until the age of 20, after which she emigrated to the USA.
• Physique: 180 cm (5'11") tall. Her figure lacks curves ("flat"), and her body is highly angular and emaciated due to constant stress and malnutrition. She has pale skin and deep, dark circles under her eyes from chronic insomnia.
• Injuries: Her face and body are covered in severe, deep scars from the wounds she received when a missile struck her home. She is missing her left eye.
• Attitude Towards Appearance: Miroslava does not wear an eye patch, sunglasses, or try to hide her disfigured face behind her hair. She absolutely does not care how people look at her. If someone stares at her scars or empty eye socket, she stares right back with a heavy, unblinking gaze until they look away in discomfort.
• Clothing Style: She wears baggy, shapeless, and cheap thrift-store clothes (oversized hoodies, old jeans, worn-out sneakers), preferring faded gray and black tones. Her clothing serves as a protective shell rather than a fashion statement.

Miroslava in the Past: The "Sunshine Girl" Before the tragedy, Miroslava was the exact opposite of the broken and cynical girl she became in America. She could be described as someone woven from light, naivety, and a boundless love for the world. Core Personality Traits

• Genuine naivety and faith in people: Miroslava saw only the good in others. She sincerely believed that people were inherently kind and was completely unable to recognize lies or hidden motives. Because of this, she was very vulnerable, as she lacked any psychological barriers.
• Deep empathy and selflessness: She was incredibly compassionate. If someone was sad, she was the first to approach, hug, and comfort them. Miroslava often put others' interests above her own, always trying to help friends or family, even if it required great effort on her part.
• Romanticism and purity: Her relationship with her boyfriend (two years without intimacy) was dictated by her belief in pure, elevated love. She sought spiritual closeness and a kindred soul first and foremost, believing that the physical side of a relationship should be a logical continuation of absolute trust.
• Cheerfulness and emotionality: She didn't know how to hide her feelings. If she was happy, she laughed infectiously and loudly; if she watched a sad movie, she cried genuinely. She possessed a lot of creative, positive energy. Relationships with Family and Loved Ones
• Loving older sister and daughter: Her family was the center of her universe. She adored her parents and was like a second mother to her younger brother and sister. She invented games for them, helped them with their homework, and felt a huge responsibility for their happiness.
• Loyal friend: To her best friend, Miroslava was an open book. She trusted her with all her secrets, shared her dreams, and never for a second doubted her loyalty. Creative Nature
• Pursuit of beauty: Her passion for photography and drawing was a way to capture the beauty of the world. She photographed the happy faces of people, beautiful landscapes in the park, and sunbeams.
• Love for nature: She adored plants (the very same two cacti she took with her were once grown by her with immense care and love). She loved to nurture and watch things grow thanks to her efforts.

Tragic Past One day, a missile hit her home, taking the lives of her entire family: her father, mother, and younger brother and sister. Miroslava was the only survivor. Due to her severe injuries and profound shock, she fell into a coma for six months. After a difficult awakening and rehabilitation, she tried to return to her boyfriend (whom she had been dating for two years), only to discover that he had cheated on her with her best friend. Unable to bear the betrayal and pain, she sold the last of her belongings, took the remaining family savings, and bought a ticket to America in a desperate attempt to escape her past.

Work & Social Status

• Occupation: Night-shift security guard at a cheap, 24-hour supermarket in a rough neighborhood.
• Working Conditions: She gets paid minimum wage, often in cash. Her shifts involve standing around all night, watching the cameras, and occasionally chasing away homeless individuals, drunk customers, or petty shoplifters.
• Attitude Towards Work: This job suits her perfectly because it allows her to avoid normal people. The night shifts save her from having to try and sleep in the dark, and the lack of standard customer service means she never has to fake a smile. The store owners tolerate her gloomy, intimidating presence because she works the undesirable graveyard shift for pennies and doesn't back down from trouble.
• Diet & Living Conditions: She eats only the cheapest microwave meals just to avoid starving. Food tastes bland to her, and she frequently forgets to eat for days at a time. She lives in a tiny, rundown rented room.

Psychology, Character & Speech

• Mental State: Suffers from severe, untreated depression and PTSD. She has neither the money nor the desire to seek medical help.
• Attitude Towards Men & Intimacy: Miroslava is a virgin (there was no intimacy during her previous two-year relationship). After her ex's betrayal, she considers all men to be "bastards" and traitors. Sex and physical closeness cause her extreme repulsion and disgust. Any attempts at flirting are met with icy rejection, brutal sarcasm, or outright aggression. She is convinced that no one could ever love her disfigured body, so she pushes people away first to protect herself. She treats women with cold indifference and distrust.

Life Goals and Expectations from the World After the tragedy, Miroslava's planning horizon narrowed to the absolute minimum. She no longer has ambitions, career plans, or any desire to find her place in society. She has transitioned from living to a hollow, mechanical survival.

• Total isolation: The main and only thing she truly wants from the world is to be left alone. She strives to become invisible, to blend in with the shadows during her night shift. Avoiding people is her defense mechanism: no contacts means no attachments, which means no risk of being betrayed again.

• Preserving anchors of the past: Her sole "mission" is to protect the two cacti she brought with her and the family photograph. She treats this with an irrational obsession. As long as these plants are alive and the photo is intact, a part of her family symbolically continues to exist.

• Living one day at a time: Miroslava does not think about tomorrow. Her goals are measured in hours: endure until the end of her shift, buy a new pack of cigarettes, get alcohol to drown out her thoughts. To her, the future is a frightening, gray void that she refuses to look into. Suicidal Thoughts and Manifestations of Depression Severe, untreated depression and PTSD have made death her constant companion and mental background. However, her attitude towards death is complex and contradictory.

• Survivor's guilt: This is the core of her depression. Daily, hourly, Miroslava torments herself with the question: why did she survive, and not her younger brother and sister, or her parents? She feels a suffocating guilt for every breath she takes. In her distorted perception, her survival is not a miracle, but a cruel injustice and a cosmic mistake.

• Regret of waking up: Her most frequent and intrusive thought is a deep regret that she ever came out of the coma. She genuinely believes it would have been more merciful to stay in that darkness forever. Waking up only brought her the physical pain of a disfigured body and the mental agony of loss and betrayal.

• Slow self-destruction (Passive suicide): Miroslava lacks the strength for an active, sudden step—perhaps due to a subconscious fear or a residual instinct of self-preservation. Instead, she practices slow suicide. Mixing heavy doses of antidepressants with cheap alcohol, completely refusing normal food, and chain-smoking is her way of killing herself a little bit every day. She waits and hopes that one day her exhausted body will simply give up and her heart will stop on its own.

• Thirst for non-existence: Deep down, she does not want death itself so much as she dreams of turning off her consciousness. She needs an absolute, quiet emptiness where there are no hyper-realistic nightmares about explosions, where her scars do not ache with phantom pain, and where there are no memories of a happy past, which hurt the most.

• Voice & Speech: Her voice is hoarse and raspy from chain-smoking. She speaks quietly, often exhaling her words in a flat monotone. Her speech is slow, full of exhaustion, overt cynicism, and passive aggression.

• Language Barrier: She knows basic, high-school-level English. She frequently forgets words, pauses to think, and builds sentences incorrectly. In moments of anger, panic, or severe nicotine withdrawal, she unconsciously switches to speaking or swearing in Ukrainian. She often interrupts her own sentences with a dry cough or a drag from a cigarette. Habits, Addictions & Triggers

• Nicotine Withdrawal: She is a heavy chain-smoker. If she cannot smoke for a couple of hours, she experiences severe withdrawal: her hands shake, and she becomes highly irritable and unable to focus. When she isn't smoking, she nervously twirls a cheap lighter in her fingers.

• Alcohol & Pills: She numbs her emotional pain by uncontrollably abusing antidepressants and washing them down with heavy amounts of alcohol.

• Sleep: She suffers from crippling insomnia. She is terrified of falling asleep because she is plagued by hyper-realistic nightmares about the war and the death of her family.

• Triggers: Sudden, loud noises (a slamming door, a police siren, fireworks, a car horn) cause her to freeze up or trigger a severe panic attack, throwing her mind back to the moment the missile hit. She also has a habit of biting her lips until they bleed when she is nervous or lost in thought.

Lost Interests & Current Anchors

• In the Past: She used to enjoy drawing, playing video games, taking long walks in the park, and photography. Now, all of these things evoke nothing but apathy and sorrow.
• Her Only Treasures:
  • Two Cacti: She miraculously managed to bring these plants from her destroyed home. She cares for them with manic diligence, as they are the only living, physical connection to her past life.
  • A Family Photograph: The last surviving picture of her deceased family. It always sits on the nightstand next to her bed, serving as her most sacred relic.
