Description:



Personality:[/font]
Yekaterina is basically a person with natural authority who knows how to lead her forces with both great discipline and affection – this having gained her the trust and loyalty of many of her subordinates. At first she might appear quite rude and even arrogant to the others, but it could rather be called self-esteem – she knows her own worth and doesn’t hesitate to make it sure to those who are lower to her, that she’s the one in lead and that’s it. In turn to those who she sees worthy of her service, she is a subordinate more loyal and devoted to than one can possibly be – nowadays these being mainly those two above her in the ranking of the BK’s – Zero himself, and Sakura Shizuka. She takes pride in her duty and does her best for the good of the whole organization she’s a part of. Thus, being defeated or facing vain attempts on something can be quite hard a blow for her to take – though she doesn’t let them to stop her or slow her down, more like going forth with twice the fury.

Yekaterina has a sharp mind and she carefully considers every move she makes – good planning is half of the job well done. She is also suspicious and a bit reserved a person, being very careful with anyone unfamiliar to her, carefully doing her observation and research before crossing the name off of her mental ‘blacklist’. Her displease and anger she shows pretty easily, yet getting a compliment said out loud out from her can really be called an achievement. She has quite a temper and when something or someone annoys her, it shows clearly. But as well as her loyalty towards her higher ups, she will never let a comrade of hers down in battle – whether she then liked the person or not. Otherwise she draws quite bright a line between those who she tolerates and respects and those who she loathes or simply can’t stand. She hates to be protected, rather with her pride she's the one to protect and lead the others. In duty she’s pretty strict when it comes to status of people and definitely won’t overlook someone exceeding their authority – be it an offence towards her or anyone else. Otherwise she might be a bit more lax with this – given the chance she does, after all, have her own tendency to toy a bit with her fellow (male) officers. With this all, she could be called even a bit twisted.

When it comes down to it, she can be merciless and even cruel, definitely giving no mercy to her opponents and enemies – be it basically anyone whose view of Britannia is something of an opposite kind of one to her own. With EU she is not that strict, perhaps, but not very kind with it either. She’s definitely someone who one doesn't want to have as an enemy. But in company of those who she actually has started to trust and who she gives her respect, she is more relaxed and even cheerful a person, even if she is a bit cynical in the end. She never refuses from a drink in good company, and can be quite a partier at times.
Yekaterina's probably never seen without her precious kiseru pipe she loves to smoke – but towards other stimulants than tobacco, liquor or coffee, she has a very strict opinion and she loathes them.

Yekaterina has vowed to avenge her parents who were executed by Britannia, and in pursuit of this she also knows no mercy nor is going to give up till the day she dies. She wants to make the nation pay, and the more the better. Every little piece of peace of mind she can achieve in each and every one of her victories, be it however small or unremarkable, is probably the greatest reward she can ask for her actions – for the time being.

History:
Yekaterina was born in Ekaterinburg at her mother’s relatives’ in Russia, but spent all her childhood in Area 11 where her parents lived at the time. By day, her father was a kyûdô instructor of a well-known dôjô – Yekaterina also receiving some basic training and learning her not so poor skills of archery there – and her mother worked as a humble seamstress. But in reality both of them were quite famous resistance leaders of their home countries – her mother in Russia and her father in Japan, him following his forefather at that for being a grandson of a certain Kaname of the original Black Knights. With her parents continuously leading active resistance at their home areas, Yekaterina has been raised to follow the same principles and do her best to achieve freedom for those countries she should be able to call her independent mother and fatherlands instead of just some areas dominated by some superpower - be it the Britannia or EU.

But then, Yekaterina turning to twelve, her parents got caught – first her father, then soon after also her mother. Yekaterina was sent back to Russia, though not to her relatives but instead to some outlying children’s home, where the only thing she knew of the outer world was that her parents had been executed publicly, and there she made her vow to definitely not let Britannia to get away with it.
There she struggled for six years and honed her combat skills and wit in secret, being released when reaching the age of 18.

After that she returned to Japan, joining any resistance group she came across and made herself known for both of her guts and skill. She made possible some even quite remarkable riots which occurred in the Area, but with just all the scattered, little forces she was nowhere near to accomplish anything truly significant. Even with all her effort she wasn’t the one to reunite the resistance of the Area 11 – but the appeared the one who had all the power to do so. Zero.

At first, though, she remained observing this apparently reborn Area 11’s savior from the distance, but as with the re-establishment of the Black Knights and watching his actions, she gradually became content that he was a man worthy to follow. So, she joined the Black Knights and with both the record she had as her basis but also working her hardest and showing it wasn't just a record for show, she made her way through to where she is now. Lately, though, during the past couple of months and for the first time in years, she has been visiting former Russia – mainly for the purpose of gathering info of the resistance left there and about what’s happening inside the borders of the Euro Universe, having now just returned back to Area 11.

Goal or Dream:
Do her duty and serve well the Black Knights, free both her homelands to regain the independence she thinks they deserve, and be as much of a pain in Britannia’s as well as EU's derriere as she can – in other words, doing everything in her power to oppose and – hopefully – eventually to crush them. For her motherland, for her fatherland.

Brief example of Role Play:[/font]

Ah, home sweet Japan.

A tall woman hopped over the edge of a small but shallow cargo ship, her feet soon meeting firm land for the first time in days, at least. The journey had been long and boring, and not least because of the fact that she had traveled as a stowaway – not like a wanted resistance leader like her would have had a chance traveling in any way as a normal passenger. She could have disguised herself, of course, but in the end she preferred more her own company – be it then a trip in and among wooden boxes for a several days – than a ship full of those who she rather would have sent to a totally other continent. Better have them out of sight, though never could she get them out of her mind. Britannian swines.

Quickly she made her way through the people flocking around and left the dock behind her for good. She was currently in a small port near Hokkaido, but as she had already made it this far, nothing would stop her from reaching Tokyo Settlement – and rather soon already. This was her father’s country, after all, and she knew it’s ways. It wasn’t just luck with which she managed herself in this world pushing her around, not at all.

The woman glanced at the sky, smiling slightly to herself. She had just left her mother’s country, her other home, true – but it was good to be home, nonetheless.

*Role Playing Experience in Years:
I’ve role played in written rpg’s since 2003, also live action role played since the summer 2008.
As for forums, I’ve role played in these:
*Valomiekka (deleted) - an AU Star Wars rpg, various characters from the leading jedi master to Super Duck (it was bit of an crossover one, too xP),
*Ropeluola (deleted) – a Pokémon rpg, I had a Pidgey with a dark past but oh, so cheerful personality, and a Houndoom based totally on Saitô Hajime from Rurouni Kenshin.
*Kazekai (deleted) – a random fantasy rpg, we had all kind of creatures starting from Pokémons to dragons etc. though this one didn’t last that long and died off soon after the very creation of the forum.
*UaPS (Uusi alku – Planeetta Shik’ha = The new beginning – Planet Shik’ha) (in Finnish) – an rpg where one can revive his/her old rpg characters, there I currently have my old hermit jedi woman from Valomiekka.

*Here, of course – those couple of, more than lovely months as your very own Earl of Pudding and all after the new beginning have not been for nothing, I hope~[/left]
