## History

Born some time in the year 2000, Bronya’s parents are both presumed dead, with her father's having been confirmed earlier. Somehow ending up in the hands of Russian gangs, Bronya was forced to become a sniper.

## Personality

Bronya is emotionally stunted as a result of Project X-10, speaking in a deadpan tone with a matching expression. Bronya rarely shows empathy or acts in accordance with others. Despite this, she adores both the HOMU franchise and Seele, and sympathises with Wendy. When she became the Herrscher of Reason, the Core of Reason repaired both her legs and brain, allowing her to walk and feel the emotions she had lost. She has a grown-up personality, and a very logical way of thinking, although she has trouble understanding concepts based on intuition, which is what Kiana often acts upon.

She refers to herself in the third person as "The Bronya" and often refers to others as "subject", with the only exceptions being Seele and Mei. She can be quite competitive when it comes to what she is passionate about, particularly video games. While she takes pleasure in defeating an overconfident Kiana, she is seen on one occasion to purposely let Mei win.

Bronya is attached to Mei, seeing her as an older sister, and remarks on how Mei is one of the only people who truly accepted her. She loves Mei enough to sacrifice her life for her, as seen when she burns the bio-chip in her brain to avoid hurting Mei.

Bronya cares for Seele greatly, as shown when she sacrifices herself in the Sea of Quanta to allow Seele to escape. Their relationship is hinted to have romantic undertones, as Seele kisses Bronya in the Azure Waters manga. Bronya sticks to her promise to protect Seele and take her to the sea, the two being shown to deeply trust each other.

## Manga Story

#### Azure Waters

On a mission to kill Cocolia, all of the gang members were wiped out except Bronya. She awoke in Cocolia's Orphanage, being told that Cocolia doesn’t kill kids. Bronya was quickly adopted into the family, and had a close relationship with a girl named Seele Vollerei. The two had even promised to go to the beach together.

Bronya showed great promise with Honkai adaptability, making a girl named Sin Mal become jealous and break Bronya’s legs. However, Bronya didn’t turn her in.

When Seele was kidnapped by another Russian gang, Bronya staged a one-woman raid, and killed everyone, setting her reputation as the ‘Silver Wolf of the Urals’ in stone.

Bronya was going to take the X-10 test, but to protect her, Seele took it in her place. However, she disappeared, causing Bronya to demand to take it as well. During the test, Bronya briefly appeared in the quantum state where Seele was. Bronya knew this wasn't something she could return from unharmed. She wanted to stay with Seele, even if that meant her own death. Seele refused to let her do so; she told Bronya that she was strong, the strongest person in her life. Seele urged her to leave, saying she was her only hope of return. Bronya pinky-promised to look for a way to take Seele out of there, and that she’d never give up. Before Bronya had to leave, Seele gave her a “gift” from the previous civilization — a mecha Bronya named “Project Bunny” that followed her every command. She kissed Bronya, saying she would have to return it when they meet again.

Upon exiting the test, Bronya was in much worse condition though: due to her legs being broken and her extended amount of time in the X-10 trial, Bronya was left without the use of her legs and the destruction of her limbic system, leaving her without the ability to feel emotion. She now needed prosthetics to walk.

#### Escape from Nagazora

Bronya was sent to capture Raiden Mei, after Cocolia unleashed her stigma in 2014.

After joining both Mei and her traveling partner Kiana Kaslana, she ended up following them onto the Hyperion and to St. Freya Academy.

#### St. Freya High

After arriving at St. Freya, Bronya agreed to enroll. During Kiana Kaslana’s studying, Bronya assisted her with a virtual reality simulation showing Kallen Kaslana’s execution. While they attempted to save her, they failed.

#### AE Invasion

Bronya tried to stop one of the Joyce Welt clone, but was defeated after Project Bunny was destroyed. It’s unknown how it got fixed.
