## Overview

Daughter to a KGB colonel, Svetlana was raised in a controlled environment. Born in Leningrad - St. Peterburgs, 1993, she was one of the many unlucky children who risen out their mother's womb when their world was at its darkest time. Due to her father's influences, she was always one of the top students at her school. All the way until her 18th birthday, when her father was assassinated as part of a large conspiracy. Angered that she wasn't capable of defending her beloved pa, she decided to become tougher and at the same time, keeping her father's wishes true: seeing her as part of the FSB. Though she failed the latter, the former was much a successful gain. Coming to the Zone in 2011, she quickly got accustomed to the rough style life in the Zone and became a well-respected member in the Loners community as well as the Duty community. Abandoning the wildlife she got before, she reached out to the News Branch of the Communication Centre, moved back to Russia and got herself the name "Zaplin" to cover up her old self. Today, she works alongside with *Pribol*, managing the news coming out to stalkers, and making comprehensible and humorous broadcasts for everyone in the Zone.

### A change of direction...

After an interview with a Monolith member named Stalwart back in December of 2018, she fell in love with him. On March 1st, 2019, Russia launched an illegal offensive to the Zone, inflicting heavy casualties in both the South and North, with the majority being Monolith forces. Tragically, Stalwart died during the counter-offensive against them. Being so attached to him, she was plunged into severe depression, to the point she attempted to end her life. Miraculously, she fought back against the intrusive thoughts, and decided to receive a discharge from the Ukrainian army, looking forward to returning to her hometown in Russia.

After a long period of radio silence, she suddenly made a shocking return. This time though, the Zone *isn't prepared* for what lies behind that feminine face. It remains a complete mystery as to how she managed to evade being locked up in a mental institute in Russia...

### Strengths:

* Experienced with radio technology and computer science
* A master at Soviet arms, *not much for Western models*
* A highly respected and known stalker in the Zone

### Weaknesses:

* Mildly prone to depression
* Has a dislike against office jobs
* Has a tendency to "get distracted when bigger fishes are present for her to fry"

### Equipment

* Her service uniform within the Ukrainian army is a Berill-5M.
* Her gas mask of choice is a PMK-1.
* She doesn't use a helmet.

After her service with the Military, it seemed that she abandoned the 5.45 for a more powerful, round, it ended up being the 7.62x39mm. It's stated by the people who formerly worked alongside her that she is obsessed with knives.

Now, she uses both cartridges, since she found out she's fond with them both.

#### Personal diary:

* Fucking hell, I was so close to having it. Yet, they fished me out, again. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of everything. I just want to end it all, in a swift and painless way, or perhaps painful, yes, painful is alright too. I'm good with anything that I'm granted with. In the end, *I just want to have that sweet release of death* [A tear drop on the page]
* David went all out on that, just for... me? Is he... He must be insane. Hell, more so than I am. How can one even find an attractive feature out of such trainwreck like me? But strangely, I feel like I need that level of affection, that I have yearned for a long time since *his* passing.
* Today was my first ever "meeting" with him, it strangely went better than expected. That piroshki was the nicest dish I ever have since my first-time setting foot on this place. I feel connected to him. I feel like he is genuinely having feelings for me, and not taking advantages of my situation. I feel like I like him.
* Friendship mended with Claymore. Another job well done. Hopefully, I won't have to do this again.
* Natalia came to me for some comfort, she left in happiness. I'm glad everything is sorted out in the end. Perhaps, I'll have some tips about OpSec sent to her soon.

## Trivia

* From around 2013-16, she was employed by the Ecologists as an ecostalker. The main purpose of this was to find clues about Clear Sky's raid's aftermath, especially about Greyhawk and co.
* From late 2016 to mid-2017, she was selected by the Military to be a communication officer for one of their newly established raid teams. These teams were tasked with conducting offensives to sensitive areas. One example was the Bandits' container warehouse raid in the Jupiter, it ended in tragedy, which left her more scarred than ever. After that event, top brass decided to cease all raid teams from operating further, with teams containing female elements were to return to the Agroprom area immediately. She was honorably discharged shortly after. A few months later, around December of 2017, she left the Zone. As of March 16th, 2019, she has returned back to Military service, retaining her rank and codename "Sliver Bullet".
* All the images I used here are of the ownership of this talented artist: K0NG (Can be found on both Twitter and pixiv). **WARNING!** This artist also draws *NSFW materials,* so if you're only interested in **only** SFW artworks, checkout their second account on Twitter - K0NG\_MK2.
* The third picture is created by a Russian artist called ZAP-NIK. I originally intended to use this artwork instead of the above ones. However, I didn't want to make her strictly a Military character, so I decided to use the above ones.
* Originally, back during **The NATO Wars** arc, Svetlana was used as a news broadcaster only. I had no major use for her much, until Mito asked if he could use my character. As you can already guess... that somewhat *elevated* her position from another simple character that would be appear *virtual* to being *physically*.
* She has a voice similar to JOI in *Blade Runner 2049.* Imagine it in Russian. This voice is only used when she's talking to either close friends or family members (or her love interest).
