Lilya Katyusha "Blizzard" Kamarova

Lilya Kamarova is a Kikikan military advisor and UKM veteran. She was formerly a mercenary for the Bã'd-ãferr crime syndicate, operating under the pseudonym “Blizzard.” Kamarova married Joseph Reece Rodenski in 2003, the same year she enlisted as a security officer for the UKM.

Early Life (1983-2000)
Lilya Katyusha Lindbroh-Kamarova was born on __ to Chernova and Adam Kamarov. She was the second of four children at home. At a young age, she lost her father during his time deployed in Skabb. His loss devastated the family, especially Lilya’s relationship with her mother. An outcast in school for her mixed heritage and awkward personality, she developed a reputation as a short-tempered loner.

During her secondary education, Lilya became involved in gang activity, where she was popular for her brutal fighting and willingness to smuggle illicit drugs for them (sometimes stolen from her mother). This would fuel her addiction to substances, as well as further remove her from the family. Finally, a fed-up Chernova caught a teenage Lilya stealing from her medicinal stash. In a drunken rage, Chernova kicked her first daughter out of the household and tore her heritage scarf, symbolically removing her from the family. With nowhere else to go, Lilya became a full-time enforcer for her underground allies.

La Bã'd-ãferr (2000-2003)
Lilya spent her time not getting high or participating in orgies as a mercenary and general thug in service of La Bãd’ãferr. She earned the moniker “Snjedozhka,” translating roughly to “Blizzard” as both an ironic term for her hot-headedness, and as an homage to her icy sarcasm and merciless temper. Her notoriety as a fighter (and sometimes killer) earned the attention of one Alena Mafiln, who opted to make her a lieutenant amid La Bãd’ãferr’s ranks.

This placement was the main reason she ended up being deployed to oversee the meetup with KFAF Alfa in 2001. She was a personal confidant for Alena Mafiln, as well as a leash on the UKM mole Stefano Belinski to ensure he remained loyal to La Bãd. While working alongside KFAF Alfa, Lilya developed feelings towards Kalubian Joseph Reece Rodenski. Though first an fascination at seeing all of the Kalubians fighting so similar to her, she became especially close with Rodenski due to his similarities (later revealed to be connections) to her father, in addition to their shared experiences of being “black sheep” from broken homes. Similarly, Joseph began to admire Lilya’s honesty and patience to listen, as well as her courage and strength as a fighter. She assisted the group in the negotiation, planning and ultimate killing of Marki Marachkii “Spike” Whiski.

After Katherine Felidow was killed by a treasonous Stefano Belinski, Lilya was captured with the intent of delivering such a notorious criminal to vengeful justice. The “thawing of the blizzard” would have been a significant damage to the gang’s reputation, not to mention their collaboration with the foreign Kalubian government. Lilya escaped alongside the survivors of KFAF Alfa and teamed up with them to avenge both Kat and her fallen comrades from La Bãd. She assisted in the elimination of Yuri Kirsch and Stefano directly, as well as helping Reinder Stuhy hunt down Belastrani mercenary Vladimir Vorshevsky.

Marriage with Joseph Rodenski & UKM Service (2003-2008)
Following her departure from La Bã'd-ãferr and the acquittal of Joseph Rodenski for murdering UKM commander Stefano Belinski, he and Lilya were wed. Joseph retired from military service and moved to her home region of Kikikoa. With him struggling socially due to his lack of skills and poor reputation due to Belinski’s assassination, Lilya was the sole breadwinner while Joseph remained an at-home husband. After pulling strings to clear her criminal background, Lilya was enlisted as a base guard for the UKM headquarters in Kikikan capital, Nuvobokur.

Lilya was present for the 2006 rescue effort to the human world of Yesua'esnéxa. She was captured and brutally interrogated by CIA and PRO operatives, but with the assistance of KFAF-UKM Special Operations Alfa, she managed to escape.

Appearance
Lilya is a Frãca Kajin, with caramel-brown skin and dark brown hair to her shoulderblades. She stands around 1.6 meters (5'3"), and has a slightly thin build. Her irises are a vibrant magenta. In La Bã'd-ãferr, her attire is primarily minimalist dark fabric and PVC with light blue highlights to match the "icy" mood she is known for. After joining the UKM, she adopted a standard army green and cyan armour set.

Equipment
As a mercenary for La Bã'd-ãferr, Lilya often used a collapsible Mossberg 590 shotgun with an under-barrel flashlight for close-quarters. Her rifle of choice was a Barette Mk8 6.9mm marksman rifle with an electronic toggle scope and flash suppressor. Her sidearm was a salvaged Tokarev M9 pistol. Lilya also wielded a bladed whip and foldable knives (such as switchblades and butterfly knives) with lethal proficiency.

After leaving La Bã'd-ãferr and joining the UKM as a guard, she was issued a standard security loadout consisting of a G422 bullpup submachine gun, a FAMASté-F2 automatic rifle and an Kikikan variant of a Beretta M96 pistol. During her mission to Yešua’esnéxa though, she wielded an additional M96 (both now affixed with holographic aim lasers), a prototype “Vector TDI X1” submachine gun with a folding stock and silencer, and her old Mossberg from her days with La Bande. She also brought her bladed whip.

Personality
As Blizzard, Lilya generally had a very apathetic and punkish attitude. She lived very in the moment, spending most of her time in the underground doing hard drugs and copulating with other members. When surfaced, she did take a somewhat sadistic satisfaction in carrying hits out on targets, as ordered by the closest thing she had to family since leaving home. She was a typical angst-ridden teenager with hidden emotional issues regarding the tragic absence of her father and uneasy relationship with her mother… other than the killing.

Her views began to change after meeting Joseph Rodenski and the other Kalubians from KFAF though, beginning to think about her future. She became especially close to Joseph once she learned he had served with her father Adam (she was not informed until later that Reinder Stuhy had as well). After developing what she considered a posthumous connection, and following the deaths of Aleks and Alena Mafiln (two of her closest acquaintances in the syndicate), Lilya underwent a personal reform and made amends with her family. She would leave La Bã'd-ãferr on amicable terms.

After marrying Joseph, quitting her old drug habits (though occasionally joining her husband for a joint or small dose of LSD) and becoming a military guard, Lilya began to take her life more seriously. She matured rapidly to keep up with a rapid change in her lifestyle, and to keep suspicious military officials from discharging her. Hints of her old stern, cold-hearted self can be seen when she is angered by the humans of Earth, or when she is otherwise angered.

Trivia
-       Lilya’s middle name is “Katyusha." Sometimes in-game, she can be heard humming the Russian folk song of the same name.

-       Lilya’s main tongue is Frãsov, a central Kikikan creole-slang sounding like a mixture of Portuguese, French, east Slavic languages such as Russian and Ukrainian, and Western Kohl. She also speaks Sjeverköw and Frãpal fluently, and learns Ba’ait and some Kohl in large part through her relationship with Joseph.

-       Lilya is one of four children to Adam and Chernova Kamarov, both of whom served alongside Reinder and Joseph in the Gamian War.

-       Sometimes Kat sarcastically refers to Lilya as “the (Dairy) Queen.” This is a reference to the fast-food chain Dairy Queen, which serves Blizzards.
