Background
Marina doesn't talk much about her past and the details are sketchy. She hails from the Rim, from the Russian-settled world of Novaya Rodina and though she has family there she'll readily admit it's been over a decade since she's seen them. She left home at the age of seventeen, desperate to escape the stifling culture of her childhood, and never looked back. In the years since, she's held any number of jobs as vehicular mechanic, comm tech and ship's engineer. She was senior engineer on a bulk freighter but abruptly quit six months ago to pursue intinerant jobs, working to pay for her passage from one port of call to the next.
She's cagey as to details about her hiring on to the MakeMake, since renamed Summer's Gift. She's usually too busy cataloguing and fixing everything wrong on the ship to indulge in social chitchat and heart-to-hearts.
Physical Appearance
Rina is short and sturdy with the muscularity of someone used to hard work. More often than not she's clad in a mechanic's coveralls, T-shirt and workboots. Off-duty, she tends toward the hard-wearing and serviceable: cargo pants and tees and boots.
She has several small nicks and scars on her hands and forearms, all incurred on the job, and she has a few other scars elsewhere that she refuses to talk about when asked.
Psychological Profile
Rina has a restless and mechanically inquisitive mind and it manifests as fidgeting and general twitchiness when she's forced to be idle. Rina loathes inactivity and will keep herself busy finicking with small projects and gadgets as much as possible. To stave off stir craziness, Rina will keep a clipboard or notebook and pen at hand, the better to jot down ideas and sketch designs as they occur to her. Her pockets on-duty and off will have any number of tools, and they will spend more time out of her pockets than in.
When dealing with machines and ships systems, she's incredibly patient and thorough. When dealing with people, however, she's pretty much the opposite. She's blunt and abrasive, careless of their feelings, and brutally honest. Rina's not unaware of her shortcomings and though she'd rather wait and become familiar with others before throwing herself into conversations and debates, her curiosity and temperament rarely afford her that luxury. Rina spends a fair amount of time in her social interactions supressing her natural inclinations and her success is usually mixed, with more favorable outcomes occurring with those she knows best.
Season Profiles
Season One:
Rina settles in and slowly loosens up and learns to trust the crew. With that trust come revelations of her past and while she's still very much detail-oriented and blunt as usual, internally she's made the shift from 'itinerant temp-hire' to 'permanent crewmember'. She's bonded with Summer's Gift, with both the ship and the people on her, and will not be able to leave without high personal cost.
Season One Hiatus:
A serious injury forces Rina to determine if a personal choice from her past had been wisely made.
Season Two:
Rina resolves her personal issue only to find herself mired in the consequences. Her unfinished business with Mike is wrapped up and she goes forward with more confidence in her judgment than before.
Seaons Two Hiatus:
Rina makes a friend of the newest addition to the crew, slowly rejecting the habits of a decade to do so.
Season Three:
Trust issues further recede and Rina finally comes to an important understanding of commitment and balance.
Season Three Hiatus:
Balance is hard earned and the learning curve continues its climb.
