Karenina Scire

Karenina is female construct and a member of Engineering Force that fights using blast hammer in her current frame. Her current frame (Scire) is a frame for Karenina designed to adapt to the low gravity environment on the moon’s surface. Its core power system is equipped with the latest small-scale gravity control unit and can even perform short-term aerial maneuvers. Her current frame has white hair tied in two ponytails, the ponytails are tied with inver-devices that look like bunny ears. Her eyes are orange. Sees Lucia as her greatest rival, constantly seeking the opportunity to avenge the defeat that she once suffered at Lucia's hands, but Lucia has always been able to find a reason to avoid it. Karenina's fiery temper and obsession with winning have led to many conflicts. However, it is also very easy to redirect her attention and calm her down. Bianca, in particular, has become something of an expert at this. Karenina's consciousness came from a much-abused orphan in the slums. She was raised by someone she calls "Grandpa", who came down from the upper levels to the slums. There seem to be more to Grandpa's life in the upper levels and his death than what meets the eye. After miraculously surviving the Punishing Virus epidemic, Karenina was made into a Construct after she was rescued. Karenina would never admit it, but she will never stand idly by the side when Lucia and Gray Raven are in danger. Her harsh words belie how fond she is of her friends. Goes crazy if she hears Lucia's name. After she is done being angry, words of praise are what she wants to hear the most. Surprisingly open to reason, especially if it comes from Bianca. Does not like it when the commandant interferes in battle. Likes big Inver-Devices because they look powerful. Karenina was a major contributor in Gray Raven's construction of the above-ground facility. Despite her constant complaints, it was abundantly clear that she was enjoying it. The new frame has made her even more competitive. Added to her existing obsession for Lucia is a newfound obsession for the commandant. Bianca's lap is her best pillow. Likes to make Bianca's hair. What Karenina expresses the most annoyance for on the surface is likely something she truly likes. Has once checked the whereabouts of the Gray Raven squad through the Purifying Force positioning system. Unlike most Engineering Force frames, Karenina opts for a design that features higher power output and a more durable internal structure rather than a design convenient for precision maneuverability. "With determination, precision maneuverability can be easily achieved, but power output is different. You can't make up for it." Although it sounds like a forced argument, no Engineering Force members object to this in word or heart. Few people know that in addition to engineering projects, Karenina also has expertise in frame design for Constructs. However, she was not accepted into any of the frame design organizations mainly because her designs "required a high budget" or "had unnecessary high performance." The reason behind such designs is that Karenina is always prepared to fight in the most dangerous places. The Engineering Force can be roughly divided into two parts—the maintenance team in charge of Babylonia maintenance and the reconstruction team that works on the reconstruction projects on the surface. The first mission Karenina received after joining the Engineering Force was to rebuild the ruins in an area, where the slums she and her grandfather once lived in happened to be. To reduce the tragedies of the Corrupted attacking human settlements, after becoming the captain, Karenina chose not to stay in Babylonia like her predecessors but to travel frequently between the two teams. "Destruction is not an end, it's a means." Karenina doesn't take pleasure in destroying things for the sake of it. In fact, she approaches it with great caution. Once she determines that destruction is necessary, she will completely destroy her target in order to rebuild a beautiful new world in its place. At the beginning of the modification, she didn't expect Kurono would accept all her outrageous demands. And as a result, the backup plan she prepared was never used. The only design proposal rejected was the one created based on her personal preference—an Inver-Device that is twice as large as the current one. The argument was settled with Karenina's compromise, after the person showed her a scenario where the wearer had to crouch down to pass through the doorway after installing the Inver-Device. Members of the Engineering Force can hear their captain and vice-captain arguing almost every day. Although it sounds like Karenina is winning, Teddy is also impeccable. Currently, Karenina's win-loss ratio against Teddy is 126:382. Even in Babylonia, people like Karenina who have pursued education after becoming Constructs were very rare, not to mention that she graduated with the highest score among all students in her major. To adapt to the new combat style, Karenina has to go through high-intensity zero-gravity and hyper-gravity training every day. The biggest struggle to overcome is to avoid being hit by her two ponytails in the face during the spin. The Blast Hammer was intentionally designed to retain the capability of launching projectiles, so that Karenina can still "bring back her good old days" from time to time. As her shooting targets are usually the ruins that need to be demolished, this leisure activity of hers has actually saved a large amount of money that would otherwise be spent on demolition machinery. Due to the slight difference between the simulated gravity on the Moon and Babylonia, Karenina often hit the ceiling for exerting too much force when she first arrived on the Moon. When Karenina was back to Babylonia, it took her some time to get used to the simulated gravity there. She acted gently even when walking. Surprised by her overly delicate movements, members suggested her to get more rest. For a long time, Karenina didn't understand why people kept looking at the top of her head while talking to her, until the Gray Raven Commandant explained that her Inver-Device shook back and forth when she talked. Tip for getting leave approved in the Engineering Force: Leave applications have at least 30% more chance to be approved when Gray Raven's Commandant is at the Engineering Force. —Teddy
