Weapons and Gear:
-Vektor R5 Carbine-

The R5 Carbine is a shortened 5.56mm assault rifle that was introduced into service with the South African Defence Force (SADF) in 1980, though produced much earlier (Late 1960s), replacing the earlier 7.62mm FN FAL rifle, that was manufactured in South Africa under a licence agreement from Fabrique Nationale as the R1. The R5 is produced by Denel Land Systems (DLS), formerly Lyttleton Engineering Works (LIW, "Lyttleton Ingenieurswerke").
As a medically trained fighter, Katya prefers the compact nature of the weapon, while still retaining the ability to engage at mid-range effectively.
-MAC Mle 1950-

The MAC 50 (also known as MAC 1950, MAS 50 or PA modèle 1950) is a standard semi-automatic pistol of the French army and adopted in 1950. It replaced the previous series of French pistols, the Modèle 1935A & Modèle 1935S, and was produced between 1950 and 1970.
Ultimately the matter of her own personal preference, this handgun has served Katya well in her short time in the line of duty.
-M-1967 Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment-

Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment, also known as M-1967 Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment or MLCE, was introduced into United States Army service in 1968 during the Vietnam War. The M-1967 MLCE was not specifically designed to replace the canvas and cotton duck M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment [LCE] (which was the then-current United States Army load-carrying system), but instead it was designed for use in tropical environments.
Katya prefers this vest, simply because of the freedom it allows with attaching different pouches and equipment, a necessity for a combat medic.
Weaknesses: Overall, Katya is a small person, and so she's not exactly the most durable in rough situations. Under extreme pressure she's apt to lose her cool, to say the least.
Appearance:

Somewhat scrawny, Katya is a blonde-haired Caucasian female, coming in at a little over 5'8". She has dull brown eyes, and little else about her is particularly interesting. Most of the time she wears the Jungle Fatigues with her own LBE, usually in a simple olive drab, though she will occasionally utilize the fatigues from her time as a Soviet Border Troop, the so called
solnechnye zaychiki pattern camouflage.

Personality: Katya is normally a reserved individual, and whether this is a result of her youth, or her occupation is yet to be disclosed. While able to handle herself relatively well under pressure, she is still prone to buckling when too much is placed on her shoulders. She will however open up when the subject of history is brought up, taking an interest in the past since joining MSF.
Morality: Neutral Good. While she does believe in the overall tenets of Marxism, she was unable to accept the reality that was facing her in the Ukrainian SSR, and as a result she is far more muted about her ideological beliefs, preferring to not talk of them.
Biography: At the start of the Cold War, Katya was born into, on November 15th, 1954 in the Ukrainian city of Lubny, in the northeast of the Ukrainian SSR. The family was always struggling, partially as a result of the communal farm system, and partially as a result of the poor soil of the town, so as a result Katya opted to move to Kiev to join the military. At 18, she enlisted in the Red Army and underwent training as a medic, but was eventually transferred to the KDB URSR, the Ukrainian branch of the KGB and the Committee responsible for border duties. An otherwise mediocre soldier, Katya was none-the-less a skilled medic, and she ended up being stationed in Georgia, tasked with watching the Turkish border. The billing was horrible though, and between the freezing nights and the atrocious living conditions, it all wore down on Katya and her view of the state, eventually coming to a head when she fled into the mountains in early February, 1973.
When she reached the Turkish border, the local Gendarmes arrested her, ultimately interning her for nearly 3 months as they tried to iron out the facts of her story, and mainly trying to work out if she was a spy or not. Finally though, in the middle of 1973, she was released and granted temporary residence in Turkey, pending requests for citizenship. Ultimately though, she would refuse the offer and enlisted with a sort of mercenary band she had heard about while in Istanbul, a group known as Militaires Sans Frontières.
