Oksana

An enthusiastic researcher and stalker. She's said to be kind enough to even sensate the toughest and "rawest" Bandit. Almost every single corner in the Zone knows her name.

It's known that stalkers have "united under the establishment of a collective pact, its' purpose being assuring that no harm would be done to her".

> It's noted that if something happens to Oksana... oh boy you're in for wild manhunt. She's so kind that even a fly would gladly land on her shoulders. Of course, carrying such lighthearted personality also brings in some unwanted attention, with the prime example being shameful muggers.

> - A local stalker, telling stories of the Zone to a group of rookies, in the Rookie Village, circa 2018.

## Overview

Born to a family with a long tradition of scientific involvement, Oksana was raised with the intensive love and care from her parents, who were then scientists employed at one of the twenty research institutes spreaded across her hometown, Gorky, also known as Nizhny from 1990 onwards. 2 years after earning her Ph.D in Moscow and intensive independent research on the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, in 2017, she decided to move into Ukraine, and just like how the others did it, illegally entered the Zone, becoming a Clear Sky stalker. Recently, in 2019, she managed to earn a special pass that would formally make her as part of the Ecologists, rendering her safe from all the Military shenanigans.

### Strengths:

* Loves to take good care of others in need.

* A sweet, friendly, and genuine smile as a form of greet.

* She isn't good at general combat, a tradeoff for all the friendliness.

## Personal diary

### January 16th, 2017

My third day in servicing Duty. It's not so bad as I have anticipated. They said they would have me assigned to a more specialized unit; I wonder what it is... The folks here at this area called Rostok are rather kind, I like it, I like the atmosphere here, it's... strangely calming and warming... I overheard that we are preparing for some sort... of an "expedition"... Hmm, better to avoid causing unnecessary trouble in the process of getting-to-know-it. Ah, well, see you soon, diary... or should I say, war journal.

### February 27th, 2017

I met a wonderful friend yesterday. Her name is Tatyana and she's really cute! She's a specialist in heavy weapons too, so I've decided to self-assign myself to be her squadmate to provide close protection. Who knew friendship can blossom so easily on battlefields? She has such a mysterious yet intriguing personality. I would *love* to get to know more about her one day, when we are both free from our duties.

### May 30th, 2017

Tatyana and I recently cleared out a mutant lair, large as life! It was rough, but with her company, I never felt scared at all. As a matter of fact, I felt safe whether she was around. She's like... my mother. I enjoy her company greatly. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything bad happened to her in the near future. Slava долг!

### September 10th, 2017

Tatyana got deployed up North, in an area called the Jupiter. I've heard of a factory called Jupiter before, could that be where she and her unit is heading to? I hope she's safe. I don't want any bad things to happen.

### November 20th, 2017

The Monolith made a resurgence. They killed the force deployed up in that same area. God, please, keep her safe. Please... [several tears drop on the page]

### January 14th, 2018

She's dead.

They told me that her body wasn't there. A KIA.

She... [a tear drops] left me. She abandoned me. Why? Tatyana, why?

### January 31st, 2018

Voronin relieved me of my duty and "got me discharged". They don't like me anymore. They consider me as an obsessive girl. I heard that a faction goes by the name "Clear Sky" is in need of help. I'll head there to provide aid. I want to use my ability to contribute to something better, something better than killing. I want no more blood on my hands. It's hurting.

### November 30th, 2018

The army captured me. They seemingly mistook me for someone else. A close call. Though, I wonder who they are going after?

### December 15th, 2018

Recently got captured, by a rather nice Renegade. Nicer than what I experienced. I wish the best would happen to him. Iceman...

### December 30th, 2018

I met a stalker, who is also a Clear Sky member, goes by the name of Demenkov. He said that he has a rare condition that the Zone cursed upon him. I greatly pity his life. I need to find a cure to save him. I failed to preserve Tatyana, but I will not fail this one. At all costs, I will save you, Demenkov.

### January 17th, 2019

Last night was nothing short of an incredible experience. My dearest Heikki. I promise, I'll have you saved from this terrible fate. I'll challenge all odds, just to maintain that smile on your face. Please, wait for me, dear.

### May 17th, 2019

It's been two months since he disappeared, I'm really worried. Where are you, dear Heikki?

### June 22nd, 2019

My 35th birthday, yet no one really cares. Of course, why would anyone even care about someone's birthday that is on the same day the Eastern front started? A girl like me, named after a weapon, meant to kill, born on a date of what was the bloodiest front of a great war, actively trying to distance myself from all of that by doing good. I feel like, I'm trying to outrun fate, a fate of being a soldier, every single day. It hurts. It hurts to keep on pretending. I want to be soft, but the Zone just doesn't want me to be soft. It wants to see the tough me and watch me die a horrible death while it laughs from a great distance.

### July ??, 2019

He left me. The Zone took him away. I have nowhere else to go. I'll return to where it all started. I just want to end it all. I hate this.

### August 1, 2019

I'm feeling better, all thanks to them. I can't express how grateful I am towards them. For him, for them, I will live again, 'til I take my very last look at the sun and moon.

## Trivia

* She's one of the few stalkers to work for almost **all** factions in the Zone, granting her a legendary reputation among the eyes of rookies and veterans alike. Her relations with these factions are said to be as durable as an immovable object. This is also the reason why she is so well respected and loved among the general stalker community.
	+ Also, because of this, she's one of the richest stalkers to date, unintentionally. No one really wants to mug her though. The ones who have the guts to do it, must well be the Devil themselves.
* Perhaps her signature feature is the voice. It's said that anyone who interacted with her was left in a state of... both harmony and agony. Harmony since "*It was pure bliss listening to her voice, it melts me.*" and agony since "*One thing I hate whenever she's around, is that... my little thing gets straight up! Her voice is just too good for our ears!*"
	+ Her voice reference is Dorothy (EN) from *Arknights.*
* She owns a picture that is currently in the hands of a stalker called *Artemis*. This picture indicates that she was a Duty member at some point back in 2017.
