Galena Petrovna Krylova

2040
-Galena Petrovna Krylova, chimera hybrid of Darkstar and Nightcrawler, lab-grown and placed in the HYDRA-funded “White Devil” Program Framework.
-The Framework was a simulated a rural Russian town focused around training loyal super-soldiers from potential mutant children.

2042
-Galena was born an obvious mutant (blue skin, gold eyes, pointed ears, spade-tipped tail), and even by age 4, she’s being treated somewhat badly by other children in the program, while others accept her as friend.
-The trainers, for their part, seem to expect her powers to manifest faster than others due to her obvious mutations and so push her a bit more than others

2044
-Katya and Galena’s powers manifest
–Galena (age 8) catches Katya (age 16) sneaking out into the night to try and break into the Base facility and follows her. By time she’s noticed, it’s too late to send her back without alerting guards, so the sisters sneak in together.
–They find a large room of ‘stasis chambers’ and their trainers comatose inside them. In truth, the trainers are Framework avatars of real world instructors as its felt the AI lacks human touch in teaching, and the avatars are left in stasis when offline.
–The Framework AI recognizes belatedly the girl’s presence and creates a danger scenario to drive them off, staging a virtual attack on the Base by the ‘enemy oppressors’ the children were being trained to fight.
–The girls are ordered to flee for their lives and manage to sneak and fight their way free, but just as they are getting clear in a hotwired military truck, a grenade is thrown through the window.
–Katya dove atop the grenade to protect her sister, while a seatbelt-tangled Galena struggled and then disappeared in puff of black brimstone smoke, reappearing in her favorite hiding place in the woods, frantic with worry for having left her sister.
-Katya and Galena moved to Wasteland accelerated training scenario
–With both the Petrovna sister’s powers activated, however, they were advanced to the next stage of training, waking up in what they were told was the real world of a post-apocalyptic Wasteland. In reality it was yet another Framework, this one a hyper-accelerated one at 10x real-time and set to prove a harsh crucible to instill trainees a sense of being living weapons in service to the remains of Mother Russia.
–Ten years pass for them in less than one year of real-time, and in that time the sisters are formed into weapons with unique manifestations of powers honed, Galena’s teleporting and more ranged darkforce-projection, Katya’s phasing and more personalized shadow flight, invisibility, and weaponry.
–Katya takes to the training well, but Galena develops a rebellious streak that resisted any use of lethal force no matter what her trainers tried to discipline or condition her with.
–While Katya was released into ‘long term mission’ (i.e. exited into the real world), Galena was held back in the Wastelands and her acceleration slowed to try and give trainers more time to condition out her squeamishness with killing.

2045
-Galena suffers, Katya active in real world until captured and deprogrammed
–The discipline grew progressively harsher, with more and more common review of her sister’s accomplishments in graphic murderous detail as ‘example’ she should live up to. It only made Galena more stubbornly determined to prove she could be a great asset to Mother Russia without being a killer. By the end, she was being practically tortured with subliminal conditioning to try and break her.
–Meanwhile in the real world, after a year of bloody active missions, Katya slips up and is caught by a mutant resistance group that helps to break her conditioning. She leads
-Katya and Jericho extract White Devil mutants
–Katya (age 25) convinces the group that helped deprogram her to let her guide an extraction of her sister and others in the White Devil Program. Jericho agrees to take responsibility for her and leads the mission.
–They manage it and Galena (age 19), Anastasia (age 11), and others are freed from White Devil Framework
-Group ambushed on way out, Anastasia disappears
–Somehow, HYDRA gets word of the group’s attempts to smuggle the freed mutants through Europe to nearest Institute facility in Britain and they are ambushed. In the messy process, Anastasia’s power manifests and she teleports to Limbo after badly injuring Jericho. Gabrielle (Jericho’s sister) and Katya manage somehow to get the rest of survivors and injured through the ambush and back to safety.
-Galena tries to find her place in the world
–After, the Petrovna sisters take up with Institute aid and begin trying to find a life for themselves.
–Galena, for her part, is wary of organizations trying to tell her what to do and after getting help to overcome the afteraffects of her conditioning, tries to seek out some semblance of normalcy.
–She finds that the world isn’t terribly easy for a mutant as obvious as she is and that people are mistrustful of her for her sinister apperance and tendency to subconsciously darken shadows around her.
–Once settled at least enough to speak the language and get refugee citizenship, Galena decides to go to school to try and find a new path in life

2050
-After four years and various operations, the various White Devil mutants have tried to assimilate into US life and mostly congregated to Chicago.
-Galena (age 24) is seeking some relative normalcy in school, though she’s bounced between seven majors in four years and seems to enjoy the process more than any particular subject. She helps pay part of the rent working as a barista at local Chicago coffee shop. Despite that, she still moonlights occasionally with her sister on ops or with vigilante antics from a heroic streak. She similarly likes to travel about via her teleporting when given a chance.
