Katya

Katya is a major character in the video game Metro Exodus. She is one of the members of the Aurora Crew, who served as the head nurse of the crew, and later plays a major role in the game's finale.
Prior to the events of the game, Katya, her daughter Nastya, and her husband Senya lived in the Southern Urals. However, settling in on a new life, Katya and the rest of her family would move to the Volga river, before they were captured by the technophobic cult known as the Church of the Water Tsar and its leader Silantius, due to them using technology. Her husband was killed on a suicide mission by fighting the "electric demon".
She and Nastya were held captive at Silantius' compound and were forced to serve the cult. However, it was revealed that Silantius killed her husband in an act of forced marriage. She and Nastya were later saved by Artyom Alekseyevich Chyornyj and Anna Miller.
During the summer of 2035, Katya remarries again, but this time to the ranger Stepan, thereby making Stepan her second husband.
==Personality==
Katya received her training from her mother, who is also a doctor. She appears timid and insecure at first, but she is actually extremely forceful and will go out of her way to assist when she can.
==Overview==
===History===
Katya is a qualified nurse from the Ural Mountains in the south. She and her daughter were among a group of people who made the journey west in pursuit of a better life. When they arrived on the Volga, they discovered that the territory was ruled by the Church of the Water Tsar, a religious cult.
Katya's party, which numbered around fifteen people, travelled by train. However, after crossing the Volga River, Church members boarded their train. They disassembled the locomotive and dropped the components into the Volga to "purify" it. All of the other members were killed inadvertently by the Church, which dispatched them on suicide missions to hunt for mutants.
As a punishment for using technology, Katya's husband, Senya, perished while attempting to exorcise a "electric demon." Silantius, the cult's leader, appears to have sought to get rid of him in order to force Katya to marry him. Katya was forced to serve the cult and Silantius when she and her daughter were the only ones left. Katya was unable to treat the sick cultists because Silantius forbade it, causing some to die of disease.
===Metro Exodus===
Katya and her daughter never attempted to flee since they had nowhere else to go until the Aurora crew arrived in 2035. She and Stepan became close after their rescue by Artyom and Anna Miller, and before they reached the Valley, he proposed to her, and Miller married them onboard the Aurora, where she accepted the role of Doctor.
Katya took care of Anna when she became unwell, but she was unable to help her. She proposed using Renergan-F, a remarkable drug created at a Novosibirsk research lab. When Artyom returned from Novosibirsk highly irradiated, Katya recommended that the only way to rescue him was to give him blood transfusions.
Katya, her kid, and Stepan were all spotted there when the Aurora arrived at Lake Baikal, hinting that they had all moved there.
