Appearance:

She has brown hair, tied into a bun with twisted bits of metal poking out of it with a careful padded net keeping it from harming her instead of anyone dumb enough to grab her.

Backstory:

Nikita grew up in a home with immigrated parents: her father was German and her mother was Ukranian. She was taught to speak Ukranian, Russian, German, and English. It was hard for her to keep up with though, and for whatever reason Russian was the language that stuck with her the most outside of English.

Around the age of ten, her parents expressed interest in her signing up to learn a specific sport of her choosing instead of spending all of her time inside playing video games; she immediately chimed in with "Freerunning! I want to do hardcore parkour!"

Not ones to discourage her from a sport she was motivated and actually excited to participate in, they helped her find a gym that taught it, and she eagerly joined in with the group. While they were a little worried about her getting hurt, they were pleased with the quality of learning and safety protocols in place, and the fact that she remained so excited about a form of exercise well into adulthood told them it was a wise choice.

Around 17, though her commitment to freerunning consistently was slightly lessened, she kept herself sharp and in shape on purpose: running helped her feel good and think better. She found it helped when she was trying to learn, especially, to take a break and go for a run. Instead of freerunning as often, while she did do it on occasion, she started getting herself into the programming field: it was fairly easy to self teach, and she'd already been a gigantic nerd of all things computers and internet and all things 'surviving disasters' and disaster prepping as well as other forms of prepping. Soon enough, by the age of 23, she was well versed in Java, C++, Lua, html, bbcode, and had some understanding of a couple of other minor coding languages. It was enough to get her foot in the door.

Eventually, she started making a decent paycheck and got herself a nice enough house, and a motorcycle, and a smartcar. She keeps a USB on her with a bunch of her disaster prep basic know-how guides on hand (how to do first aid, how to secure food and water initially, how to ration stuff, how to survive bad weather, how to make shelters, mostly) but nothing too in depth or outside of that, as it's just a cheap usb with not a lot of space. She also keeps her backpack on her, with a laptop, laptop charger, some trail mix, a bottle of water, some basic hygiene stuff, and a mini travel first aid kit just in case something happens - because disaster prepping in her opinion isn't just about natural disasters or apocalypses, but also about being ready in case of an emergency - like a medical emergency including diabetes attacks, a violent attack that leaves a victim needing medical help, etc. She also got addicted to computer use; internet, gaming, etc. Outside of that, this is the majority of her life: freerunning/parkour, gaming, and work.
