Editing Katyusha

[[File:Katyusha.jpg|thumb|right]]

The girl who would become Katyusha was the elder daughter of a minor noble family. This family had a tradition of sending a descendant off every generation to serve in the Imperial Guard, but our heroine would have none of it. She chose to spite her elders by hanging out with gangsters and other riffraff, at least until she realised that if she didn't prove herself suitable, her beloved younger sister would be her generation's representative. The idea of someone else (especially her little sister) taking her place on the chopping block was one that she couldn't stand, and in the end, our heroine made like a good little heir and got on the Valkyrie.

Much as she hated it, our heroine turned out to be pretty good at soldiering. She found her way into a veteran squad that was assigned to hazardous duties, and it was on one of those missions that her squad was exposed to... something. She's not quite sure what it was, but the Inquisition came for them during their debriefing. Most of them were captured, but our heroine and a few others managed to escape their clutches. Then, she and her colleagues started to change; she was lucky enough to get away with muscular hypertrophy, but her comrades developed mutations that were incompatible with disguise, and in at least one case, with life. She took on the name of Katyusha, and sought to make a break from her past by entering the world of bounty hunting. During this time, she met The Captain, and elected to sign on with him so she could get the resources of a Rogue Trader House behind her. In the meantime, she serves as the Captain's chief enforcer and bodyguard. 

For the most part, Katyusha remains calm and professional even under heavy fire, but she's slow to trust and quick to shoot, a relic of her time as both hunter and hunted.
