INFORMATION

Kischel was born on another world at a time she can't determine. Her kind were born in enormous broods from a single mother, of which only a handful of females were born to become mothers when they matured in a hundred years. The world was overpopulated with her kind, the males growing quickly, living, and dying, doing their work while a select few hundred were chosen by reigning mothers to give to her in producing young. Kischel, yet un-named, grew for a few years without notice of time until she realized her ultimate fate and ran away. She was pursued, as a highly-valued future-mother, but escaped through a chance tear in the curtain to Earth.

At first wary, she watched others and humans alike in hiding, understand their behavior, their actions, and their minds. Her first spoken word, a mush of sounds, was what she named herself: Kischel. Excited by this, she began naming other things until she met a woman named Antonina, who realized her naivity and began teaching her about the Earth. Kischel matured quickly and became a worthy addition to Domingo's network. She was offered positions of being the right-hand man to many commanders for her fighting ability, but she remained with Antonina loyally until the Muratov daughter herself gained commanding rank. She appointed Kischel to her right-hand first and foremost, a position Kischel took seriously and dutifully.

Kischel has no actual fingers, making many actions somewhat difficult. She cannot fire a gun, for instance. But she has managed to perform various tasks well, such as moved objects much heavier than she is, driving, and climbing. However, her best task is fighting. Her body, a strange conglameration of skin and an exoskeleton, is highly agile, reflexive, and strong. Her kind's regenerative power is exceptional as well; by the time Antonina became commander, she'd broken her her limbs seven times, three of those on one limb, and yet the limb healed within a couple weeks. Though she has six legs, which she considers a handicap since males of her species have four, she's made good of it outside climbing by treating them as extra limbs, giving her an even greater edge in combat than with just four.
