**Klarisa Fevroniya** (born **Tanya Malanova**) is a law enforcement officer and senior detective of the **Hyperion Police Department**. She is a field training officer and supervisor for the **Metropolitan Crimes Division**, and is responsible for the training of new up-and-coming detectives for the unit. Operating in the Jade City precinct, Klarisa has been tasked with overseeing the training of her partner, **Anders Eppli**, who has recently joined the investigative unit.

Klarisa first appeared in **"Midnight Call"** calling Anders into work the night after New Year's. She wanted to bring him in on a strange case she picked up after responding to an emergency distress call from the Club 290 nightclub that had gone unanswered; it turned out to be a mysterious murder scene, and she was testing him to see how he would handle it. She comes up in phone conversations between her and Anders over the next several days, getting regular updates on his cases and providing a voice of reason when he needs it most.

Not much is known about Klarisa's personal life or what she does after getting off the phone with Anders.

## Description

Klarisa is a Senior Detective of the **Hyperion Police Department**, Badge #**3037**, within the **Metropolitan Crimes Division**, who specializes in investigating businesses and other corporate entities for financial crimes.

## Appearance

Klarisa is a tall woman of Russian heritage in her late thirties, albeit she appears as though she is in her early twenties. She possesses light blue eyes and long ash blonde hair with a white forelock; she usually wears her hair in a braided chignon bun tucked behind her ears. Her right hand has been completely replaced from the wrist down with a cybernetic augmentation. She also wears a silver ear piercing in her left ear.

Klarisa is typically seen wearing any of her blue or grey-patterned suits of choice made for her by her personal tailor. Underneath, she will opt to wear a mock turtleneck shirt with matching dress pants and formal shoes. She is always seen wearing a jade necklace given to her by her mother, and refuses to ever wear any kind of tie that would cover it.

Whenever Klarisa has to go out on patrol, she may exchange her formal business attire for her department-issue detective uniform. This includes a semi-formal black and blue jacket, a mock turtleneck with shoulder holsters, dark jeans, leather gloves and boots (and even while in uniform will often don other accouterments, such as a thermal windbreaker with duty belt suspenders and a gambler cap). The jacket has the department's emblem embroidered on both shoulders, as well as a clip-on badge bearing her government credentials; the back of the jacket has the word DETECTIVE imprinted across the shoulders, reflecting her special position within the department.

## Trivia

### Etymology

* *Klarisa* is the Russian form of the Latin name, *Clarissa*, meaning "most bright, most famous."
* *Fevroniya* is the Russian and Ukrainian form of the Latin name, *Febronia*, meaning "purify, expiate."
	+ The name suits Klarisa's intent to forge a new name for herself, as it reflects the purification of her past life. It is also linked to the month of February, which she was born in.
* Her birth name, *Tanya Malanova* has a very different meaning. *Tanya* is a diminutive form of the Russian and Latin name, *Tatiana*, which means "fairy queen," and *Malanova* is a baptismal name deriving from the masculine name, *Malan*, which is a diminutive for *Malachi* (which means "my messenger").
	+ The definite origins of her birthname are unclear, although it is possible that she was named with influence from Russian folklore.

### Story
