Worshipper

"Solemn vow, survival, submitting, striving and satisfying orders to make them smile are what keeps you going."-Worshipper "The Guardian Angel"

Ada Sofia "Worshipper" Kaminski is a survivor and main character in Hymns from the Hypogean. A former gray rank with motto aline with conformism turned medical practitioner learning to take charge. Being considered a unique individual for many reasons, one of which is not how or why she arrived, but why she considers it the best choice she made and who she decides to aline with.

## Life before the Constant

Many of the residents living in the Hypogean are often secretive but not completely abstaining from their past, very rarely will a person tell people their life story;Worshipper is one such person. Often going into great detail-to the point where its common to joke she's attempting to tell a biography-even when not expressly told to. When asked she comments "Secrets create doubt and doubt is a poison."

Born in Warsaw, Poland on the 15th of April in the year 1925, Worshipper had been considered a bright but rather unorthodox childhood. She played childish tricks despite being 14 years old, stole from others who did and didn't know her, and worked even when it was unusual for a child at 10 years to be working alongside a gunsmith. Despite these unnatural occurrences, most had shrugged it off and let her life play out.

Throughout the early to late 1930's Worshipper often rushed from store to store, hoping that they had something for her to do; a downfall in the economy was rather harsh to her and her family. On the off chance she had been given a job, she found it to be crucial to follow orders and deal with any hassle she was given; boundaries and limitations were words she only connected to containers, fences and people who couldn't work hard enough. Saving her money, she often used it to help those around her, one of which had gotten the attention of a nearby nunnery. They nudged her to becoming a sister and after much thought, she accepted.

She served for her religion and after be granted a special right, was allowed to hold-up several other sources of incomes. It was all going well... for awhile that is. Shots rang out and suddenly Worshipper found herself questioning her beliefs when a sudden invasion had forced to spill blood. Deeming herself a sinner, she admitted herself to her sisters and banished herself from the church. Months passed and she saw some of her friends go from either racial issues or from ropes attached to their throats.

The constant sight of her closest allies being murdered had caused something to click in her head. If saving the lives of those closest to you requires you to take the lives of those who are strangers was how life was then she would submit herself to this new philosophy.

From 1940-1944, She joined the Gray ranks, hoping to help those were injured and demoralized by acting as a "Angel with a bible and a błyskawica" that fought and followed orders until her dying breath. Despite her actions being for the best, her head was still filled with guilt of her sins and of her sister who were most likely shaking their heads in disapproval; it most often brought her tears or to the point of surrendering to the enemies. In 1944, her and several other Grey ranks had launched an offensive to retake their home. It would a battle with bullets, bombs, and blood as she saw men, women and children she fought with die beside her, often departing with a final prayer.

Her last known location was at Wola, where she was seen helping the sick attempt an escape along with other grey ranks. A book flipped to pages with strange writing, black puddles and 15 people who were missing and later deemed killed were recalled by several soldiers as one of the strange and odd occurrences during wartime. Any chances of an investigation were crushed when the entirety of Warsaw was burnt and destroyed along with several small items.

## Life during the Constant

Ironically, Worshippers life in the constant is not known as she often stutters and stops whenever asked the question. The mere act of asking of her previous friends seem to make her tense and nervous.

She claims to have fallen down into the Hypogean during a "Chase with a rather annoying worm" and having concluded to be now way out, decided to make it her new home. She returned to her old ways of being a servant of god while also serving the people in the way of protection and prayers. The Hypogean was very much unlike the human world and many of her acts had been left unnoticed and instead made her from a protector-esque predator into prey.
