Description:
Personality:[/font]
Basically Susanna is a calm, but very social a person. She likes to meet new people and interact with others in general – and even better if she can make new friends, or help someone out. She’s far from selfish, but tries her best not to be naive – she likes to help people out, but even in her eyes not everyone deserves her help. Overall she’s broad-minded and jovial, and loyal to those who she considers worth it - so even a stranger might attain her trust very quickly. It’s easy for her to trust, she’s easy to be trusted, and she’ll believe the good of the person until proven otherwise. The contradiction, really, is for who is this to decide - where goes the line, and who are really to cross it. Her judge is but one point of view, but usually a pretty fair one. She has learned to read people quite well just by their looks and minor actions, but even her intuition isn't always right.
Albeit her calmness, Susanna is also very determined – even to the point of stubbornness – and thus is one to try and come up with solutions no matter how absurd to succeed with problems and situations she confronts, never really giving up unless she absolutely has to. Be there a problem she couldn't solve, it might haunt and bother her even after years - especially if she found a sensible solution afterwards. But also by thinking back, she tries her best to learn from those past experiences. She might be audacious, even foolhardy – but never intentionally suicidal, nor places anyone else intentionally in danger. She values human life very high and as usually tries to save everyone she can, almost no matter what the cost, as long as no one dies, even within her sight – of course a warrior like her does understand how naive an idea and impossible to carry out completely such is, but nevertheless, she tries. It's just one of those things she sticks to, even with knowing the impossibility of it.
Susanna is that of a patient and composed nature and it usually takes much to anger her. But when it happens her actions can be rash, unanticipated, even violent - mainly because she feels the anger so strong that she simply doesn't know what to do with it, and so she'll take it out on something. She holds her grudges long, but when needed she knows when not to let her personal emotions interfere with the matter at hand.
History:
Susanna is of a Finnish origin, born in Helsinki as the third daughter of a wealthy shopkeeper family. Susanna grew up in peace, and her family had basically close relations, though the age differences of the children made their relationships to vary – for example, Susanna was never that close to her oldest sister since she was 7 years older than her, but her other sisters were possibly the dearest persons she ever had. She also had good relations with her older brother, but in turn she hardly knew her youngest brother in other terms but him being generally a member of her family.
Her father owned a pastry shop, which the family ran together. Her mother was an excellent baker, and the all the six children had different tasks to take care of in the family business. Susanna herself helped their mother at the back, and later succeeded her older sister as a courier for the home deliveries. Basic schooling she received while going to school by day and working then at their shop after school – and after finishing school, she continued working as a regular, full-time employee for her parents. Her older sisters eventually got married and moved on to have families on their own, but Susanna remained working at their parents’ shop until it was passed on to her older brother. By that time Susanna finally moved from home – and was blessed to have met a man who in couple of years would make her his fiancé. They lived happily, and were supposed to get married next winter. But who would have guessed, that a war was going break loose yet again.
For Susanna, there couldn’t have been a fate more cruel. As E.U. was in war trying to claim its lost territories from Britannia, her fiancé and her brothers were all sent to the frontlines, from where none of them returned. Also her younger sister died in duty, as an army nurse. Susanna’s parents along with her older sisters’ families tried to flee the capital now being heavily bombed, but ironically enough they all got killed by a bomb just outside the town outskirts. Suddenly, Susanna was all alone in the world. Somehow she herself still managed to flee and disappear – reappearing soon as a soldier in the E.U. Army (with a fake name, though), where she fought hard for years and gradually had risen to a considerable positon. In there she also found her fondness towards flying and Knightmares, and acquired her piloting skills – even managed to steal a couple of Britannian KF’s and got a decent hold of how they were operated.
But the winds of a change had began to blow again. Even though they fought hard, the E.U. wasn’t really getting anywhere, let alone that she would have been satisfied – as for avenging her family, she had come to a conclusion that she could never really gain anything from just killing off Britannians. Life for a life wasn't going to bring the dead back, no matter how many she'd wipe off the ground. The situation was stagnated, both in her mind and on the frontier. She had become a higly ranking officer, but what use was it for her if she couldn't do anything else but battle? The young woman had had enough. There got to be something else in life, that this - even if it meant she'd feel she now betrayed almost everything she held important and dear.
Thus, she faked her own death and fled the E.U. Army with the status of being KIA, and with that disappeared from general sight for a few years.
Now with nothing to hold her still, she started wandering around, traveling from place to place, first filling her life with whatever the activities to take her thoughts away from the past as well as accumulate experiences for the time she lost in the E.U. military. She might have become somewhat a hermit at points, but conserved her social nature and couldn’t really stay too far off from the presence of other people. For not to be completely just a meaningless wanderer, she began to help others, almost anyone in need who she might encounter during her traveling - and, usually it did ensure her a nice treatment as well as a place for the night. She went on helping numerous, random people with everything from fetching their cat down the tree to mend disagreements between people, a few times even a whole families
Eventually, though, her way did lead back to the battlefield. She had noticed that somewhere along the way, she had actually developed a liking to the piloting itself, and found herself pondering over and over again where could she go, how to get to fly even for a moment once more. And so she began rejoining some minor battles by stealing Knightmares and infiltrating into the masses. Afterwards she would escape as fast as she had appeared to mingle the battle – and be happy about the ride as well as the deed done, as she would always do her best that no one innocent would get hurt in the battles, where she had the chance to infiltrate in. Through multiple odd jobs she acquired many and also various skills.
Now she has appeared on the Britannian side – having acquired a status and credentials of a regular Britannian, while no one knows of her true origins – and has just recently arrived to Area 11 to start a job as a temporary art teacher at Ashford Academy (has qualification by having graduated from the Pendragon Imperial Art School during her years of wandering).
For the time being, she kind of doesn’t know on which side she should be on, where to grant her allegiance – so for the time being, she has settled to be a Britannian, hiding her past as an E.U. officer while also in the back from her teacher identity she’s considering on joining the Britannian Military. What she is interested are Knightmare’s – not exactly the warfare, but for the sake of the ride as well as refreshing her old, superb skills now that the anxiety on the Area seems to have increased once more. She did apply to become a test pilot for the Britannian military and went through her trial period with ease, only to be pitted against another officer from the Britannian side in the final battle. She would've won the battle, but in the end both of them retreated and finally neither accepted the post.
Once more Susanna kind of disappeared, and is currently packing her things from the Ashford Academy as well. Where might her steps next take her, is but a matter of chance...
Goal or Dream:
She wants to put her various abilities into good use, and coming across anyone in need anywhere she might go, she wants to help them the best way she can – almost no matter what the cost. She finds even the slightest happiness she can create to be more heartwarming than anything else, and that itself is a goal for her to offer help to others.

Brief example of Role Play:[/font]
Susanna sat at the branch of an old cherry tree, gazing up towards the pinkish cloud of blossoms surrounding her. She had her sketch pad on her lap, it having couple of sketches on the visible page already, but for now she was chewing her pencil with kind of an abstracted look on her face. The day was warm, and her coat hang on an upper branch of the tree – along with her bag – as well as had she wrapped up the sleeves of her shirt. It was a nice day – nothing more to do but to sit and relax.
She reached for the bag to get out the pastels. She had just bought new ones this morning, and for a change to the water colors started to color out a scene she had sketched before. Another world started to form on the paper. A lot of gently pink cherry blossoms, a strip of clear afternoon sky here and there, and what she added for it was a silhouette of a tiny Chinese dragon passing through the clouds of blossoms. Today was a bit of an imaginary day – she just drew the first things that came to her mind.
Susanna was way used to drawing and painting in trees, but making a wrong move from time to time was only human. And this time, she waved her hand to chase away a lone bee having interrupted her, resulting her to accidentally drop the pastels down from the branch. Aw, shoot.
Quickly she packed the rest of her things, then dropped herself from the branch. With a flutter of her coattail she was down, landed crouching like a cat.
Oh, nice.
The pastels were pretty much ruined, most of them having snapped into two or more pieces and all of them messed up with the soft, a bit moist soil under the tree. A lost case they were, indeed. And had she pondered for so long whether to buy them or a nice bowl of ramen… As a matter of fact, she was hungry. Need to hit some place on the way back…
Susanna sighed deeply, and started to pick up what was left of them.
