## Biography

### Early Life

*"I wanted to be a chef for a while... but then science called my name."*
—Lina Fournier to Jason Kade
Polina Fournier lived in the United Kingdom for a while. Her mother was a chef, and Lina wanted to be one, too, before she discovered her passion for science, particularly physics. Lina graduated from high school early and attended the University of Cambridge. There, she repaired computers for profit. At some point, Lina went through a Goth phase and briefly dyed her hair black. Lina graduated from Cambridge with a double-major in physics and business. While pursuing her degree, Lina interned for Gloria Tiongson, impressing the latter and they struck up a friendship, although it did not last.

Lina lived in the United Kingdom for a while and had a daughter, Lori, but she passed away due to an unknown terminal illness.

### Neo Arcadia

#### CEO Once Again

In July 2020, Lina purchased Collins International following the alleged death of its founder and the death of his successor. She pledged to drive the company in a new direction while also honoring its founder, allying with NASA, JAXA, Roscosmos, ESA, SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin, and Sierra Nevada Corporation. She opened several new departments in the Collins Foundation, including a weapons department.

#### Jason Kade

Shortly after purchasing the Collins Foundation, Lina encountered Jason Kade at the Neo Arcadia graveyard. They bonded over their similar loss and opened up to one another. She was especially interested in hearing stories about his son Elijah. After a few dates, Jason and Lina began going steady, much to the dismay of Saul Collins.

## Personality

Lina is a smart, kind woman who deeply understands loss. She believes it is the duty of scientists to push the boundaries of human knowledge forward, hence her new motto "leap into the future." Lina takes extra time to text Jason to ensure she uses the American spelling of words instead of the British spelling.

She is also a proponent of vigilantism, who believes that law enforcement is insufficient and understands that sometimes, if one seeks justice, they must take it into their own hands.

Lina has been described as her former friend Gloria as having "anorak" tendencies, though she appears to deny such accusations.
