A member of Kladenets, the Jovian Empire's Intelligence arm. Formerly a disaffected teacher who joined the Hand of Ares terrorist group in the wake of the Cytherean invasion of Mars, she defected to the Ganymede Alliance in pursuit of revenge.

She was badly wounded during the Cataclysm in planetary transit, but survived with a series of cybernetic grafts provided by the Jupiter Energy Fleet, who recovered her craft. Eager to repay her debt, she recovered quickly, and during the Jovian Civil War she served as an assassin, spy, and saboteur for the Fleet, sowing terror and chaos across the four powers with ruthless efficiency.

In the aftermath, her actions and mechanically enhanced body served as the basis for the founding of the Empire's premier intelligence agency, Sword Kladenets. She's pointwoman for its operations on Earth, having arrived as early as UE 14. Since then she has worked to unify its disparate components, and organized the Jovian machine into an engine dedicated to undermining the progress and stability of the Union, as well as funding anti-Union groups such as Graveyard, the Church of Humanity, and others.

Chatty, cheerful, and coquettish, at first glance Cerelia hardly fits the mold of one of the Empire's most dangerous assets. When provoked however, she is bitingly personal, hyperfocused, and assertive, her demeanor changing in an instant - revealing an undercurrent of undeniable, murderous bloodlust that craves nothing more than the outbreak of absolute, total, apocalyptic war between the planets. Despite this, she is a peerless planner, organizer, and adept combatant who has conducted her operation with peerless professionalism and total efficiency. On the battlefield she is a lightning-fast adrenaline addict who revels in the chaos and destruction her actions bring, yet who is seeming able to switch gears instantly to adjust to every eventuality.

Unlike most Kladenets members, she accepted her self-destruct device willingly.

She harbors a particular vendetta against the Cytherian Commonwealth, and has dedicated considerable resources towards investigating its current status, to little avail and her constant frustration. Nevertheless, she continues to push the envelop regarding it, unable to forget the tragedy of Olympus Mons, to the chagrin of her superiors, who believe her efforts to be wasted.

Her loyalty to the Empire has brought her to the Earth sphere, and now, as it finally begins its march of conquest, she works to ensure that the Union will not be in a position to resist once it arrives... By any means necessary.

Combat Style: Assassin
Combat Theme: Bogey Battle - Vanquish OST
Description: Cerelia can always be found where the fight is thickest and most desperate - The higher the stakes, the sharper her focus, the higher she is spurred, her enhanced adrenal glands driving her into a hyperaware frenzy. Though well trained and equally adept up close or afar, she prefers to be point-blank, slashing at exposed joints with razor precision, ducking and weaving through the return blows, focused on only the killing strike. Her escape routes and withdrawals are planned ahead of time, and if she's in the frey, chances are good that what appears to be chaos is in fact a carefully choreographed slaughter, engineered to her own ends.

The main issue with this approach is that, much like the adrenaline surge she craves, it is difficult to sustain for long periods. Thus, she is ill suited to foes that can play patiently and cage her in by catching her unawares, or locking down her escape routes. Those experienced in fighting her ways - of asymmetrical warfare as well, have an uncharacteristic upper hand at denying Cerelia her true objective in an encounter, whatever it may be.

Other Notes:
-As a Coordinator, she was designed as a "Cultural Information Storage" type, to preserve the heritage of Mars. Her memory and ability to absorb and recall information is picture perfect, even among Coordinators. This skill has served her well for intelligence gathering and as a military strategist, and has assisted in allowing Empire troops to blend in on Earth by better understanding their host culture.
-She has six artificial arms, four of which are concealed in her coat.
-Cerelia has a distinct grudge against the Cytherean Commonwealth, and has made a personal mission out of smoking them out of hiding on Earth.
-She has no living family, the closest she has is Meyven Zarvan, who has been her friend and mentor for over a decade.
-Her Birthday is May 12th.
-Her body is 60% cybernetics, but her brain, spine, and most of her torso remain organic. Her body on Ganymede is more of a "comfort" model, that features no integrated weaponry and improved tactile feedback, but is still wholly synthetic. Her "Work" body, however, is armed to the teeth.
-Her hobbies are android-friendly sports, ballet, and collecting antique dolls.
-She likes tea time, travel size cosmetics, and Russian cuisine.
-She dislikes touchy maintenance techs, crossword puzzles, and the overly-serious.
