Natasha Cioara

Raven (originally named Natasha Cioara) was born in Siberia. Following the Second Honkai War, in which she gained strong Honkai resistance, she was selected by the Gray Serpent and was forced to leave her brother behind. Natasha received training and became a mercenary subject to the World Serpent. In 2000, when the core of the Herrscher of the Void was out of control, a huge amount of Honkai energy overwhelmed the entirety of Siberia and caused its people to become corrupted. Thanks to the sacrifice of Cecilia Schariac, most people, including Cioara and her brother, had survived under the protection of the Holy Blood of Schariac. However, Cioara gained resistance to Honkai and was taken away by the Gray Serpent, and was trained as a combatant of World Serpent. Her appearance underwent many changes during that time and she'd be given the codename "Raven". As a mercenary, Natasha is a practical individual with a no-nonsense attitude, who believes in a strict work ethic in which a job is a job and must be accomplished to its fullest in spite of any personal reservations or dangers to herself. Befitting of a mercenary, Natasha holds no true loyalty to any cause or faction besides whoever's paying top dollar—which most often happens to be the very organization that raised her. Natasha also holds a great sense of respect for the Sire of World Serpent. Natasha has been shown to have a penchant for dry humor, fine alcohol, and the occasional philosophizing. But perhaps the most surprising part of this ruthless mercenary is her caring nature, possessing a soft spot for children displaced by the Honkai with nowhere to go, much like herself when she was taken in by World Serpent. Natasha takes in many such children under her care and tutelage, and although she sees to it that they are taught how to survive on their own, above all else she tries to make sure that they are able to live their lives as comfortably as possible with a place to call home.
