Calixta Ratih Aldaine

Calixta Ratih Aldaine, or just simply Cali, is a soldier of the 210th Soviet Corps of the Neo Soviet Union.

Appearance
Calixta is noted to be beautiful yet she always maintains a somber expression on her face. If it's not somber, it's serious and she rarely smiles. Her long hair is a light silver color, possessing an interesting faded golden streak in it, being tied in a long braid to the back. Her eyes are a matching golden-yellow color, but they seem to lack shine, always looking extremely somber.

Calixta's clothes are more sensible compared to the other team members. Even her coat would just be a raincoat if she put it on properly. She definitely has a mature, straightforward big sister vibe to her.

She deliberately left her facial scar and eyepatch unfixed, in order to remind herself of the past and to keep herself alert.

Personality
Calixta is known as an immensely serious person who has no room for loitering around or even playfulness. She lives a straightforward life and is blunt and simple when expressing her feelings and thoughts, so that she can simply do what is required of her. She gives 100% in everything she does, ranging from the simple to the outright complex. Yet, she's not without kindness. Due to the traumatic events of her childhood, she outright hates any and all body modifications, specifically bio-implants. With a strange mission to destroy every syndicate she comes across, she has shown outright restlessness if anything like that is involved. She has gone to the point of self-loathing, hating herself for letting people take advantage of her, and even then she shows a high amount of compassion for beings not like her. When it comes to the only one she believes is capable of matching her, if beating her, Rabotat Kesudenshi, her compassion for her in private is to high les yay levels. While in public, it's more professional than anything else.

This is due to the death of her mother. In essence, Rabotat reminds Calixta of Xin, but she does state that the formers personality is nothing like her mother's. But, for strange and unknown reasons, whenever she looks at Rabotat's face, she's reminded of her mother. This has caused Calixta to call Rabotat 'mother' on various private occasions, but she wasn't in the right state of mind when she did. She was either tired, drunk, or any other sort of state that caused her to act differently than usual.

Still, she maintains a sort of condition that has confused many. She also has a bunch of unusual habits, such as sleep talking, staring at things intently, and even ignoring most conversations if she feels it is futile to continue them. Yet, she is far from selfish. In fact, she would much rather put herself in danger than any of her teammates, if it means protecting them.

However, she does have a short temper, when she punched Jade in the stomach for trying to peeve on her. She's also noted to be quite scary when angered, even to her own enemies. This is one of her greatest assets in battle that doesn't have to do with strength or marksmanship.

She has a personal nickname, Cali, of whom she only allows very close individuals, namely family, to call her.

History
Calixta was born about 22 years ago to a single mother, Xin, with her father being unknown. She grew up rather normally until about the age of 5 where she was held captive and was forced to be one of the first test subjects of a new bio-implant that turned out to be too dangerous for their future owners and official production was cancelled. But information about them got into the hands of a criminal syndicate that started to sell the surgery service of installing them on the black market, under the name 'Sedros'. However, she refused to cooperate with them during this, and due to it, they ended up hurting her a lot, causing a scar to be formed on her right eye. Losing the sense and will to fight, she couldn't stop them implanting them; during the process, she felt so much pain, it felt worse than death could ever feel. She cried and yelped, but nothing worked. In the end, she got them implanted, but it was no pleasant experience, even afterwards.

Being returned back to her mother in the middle of the night, she was no longer the happy, innocent girl she once was. She completely stopped smiling and her eyes always showed a look of remorse and sadness. Then, 10 years passed and she went back to those black market syndicates. To keep things brief, she killed them using the same bio-implant they surgically added on her, and she destroyed every last one of those implants to stop anyone else from having access to them. She thought she destroyed every last one of them, and considered her mission fulfilled, but she missed one. She didn't notice, however, until way later.

Then 2 years afterwards, during the New Year's War, Calixta lost her mother, Xin. It was quite a tragedy, but then she came up with something; she was going to take the path her mother took. That means she was going to become a military soldier just like her mother was. She trained endlessly and, even though it was a short amount of time, she found herself capable of feats she did not know she could accomplish and probably wouldn't have known had she not taken this path. For her age, she was found to be one of the deadliest marksmen, impressing even seasoned veterans.

Calixta then, under mostly unknown circumstances, entered the 210th Soviet Corps as per official recommendation by one of it's members due to this fact. And that's when she met the person she would gladly call a rival; Rabotat Kesudenshi. In Calixta's eyes, Rabotat was the only one who could match her level of skill. And so started their calm rivalry with one another; it wasn't fierce or anything, as it was more of a calm and gentle rivalry with one another where they would prove who was better at certain tasks. So far, however, they were tied in every one.

Enhanced Marksmanship
Calixta is highly skilled with all types of guns allowing her to perform great feats and benefit in far ranged combat. She also has excellent bull-eyes aim on her target via bullets.
