'''Personal''': Akilina is the daughter of Russian aristocracy, her family having fled The Revolution just ahead of the bayonets and flames, but with the presence of mind to do a bit of looting of the family's treasury before they left; her great-grandparents were the ones to actually have lived on Russian soil, her great-grandmother a decorated veteran of the Russo-Japanese war, serving as an officer amongst the artillery pieces. They produced her grandmother in the late 20s from their exile within England (the first plane in the family, who was decorated for her service in the Battle of Britain, despite her young age), who later married another child of the 'dispossessed' Russian aristocracy. They produced her mother in the mid-60s (the first jet-powered plane in the family, with a record in the Falklands and later Kuwait and Iraq), who married yet another ex-pat Aristocrat from a noticeably less illustrious, but still impeccable, family, the two of whom produced Akilina herself.<br/>
Coming from a proud and storied tradition of military service, her family stripped of their rightful rank and status in all but their own hearts, her entrance into military service was a foregone conclusion, and she was raised appropriately (with a lingering side order of bitter deposed nobility's attitudes toward the common folk), entering combat for the first time at eleven. Originally a considerably more cocky and rash spectacle in the air, being shot down a year into her service and barely surviving the ordeal (inheriting the family's hemophilia didn't help much) tempered her attitude, producing a surprisingly seasoned, and at times outright cautious, veteran. She has a tendency to scold her fellow pilots for careless or reckless behavior, when she isn't barely skirting the line of abuse in her treatment of rookies when a pilot she's known for any length of time needs to be 'replaced'.

'''Appearance''': Akilina is a rather short, slim girl of 14, with a pale complexion, blonde hair generally worn in twintails, and blue eyes that reflect a somewhat chilly Russian beauty. She's generally found wearing a double-breasted dark green waist-length coat, trimmed with black fur at the neck, wrists, and hem, black sheer stockings, variously colored striped panties beneath them, and shining black boots that reach her upper calves. While on a mission, or when the weather is cold enough, she often dons a black fur-lined Russian cap, and no matter the weather or position, is found wearing a scarlet red eyepatch over her right eye, decorated with a golden representation of the Romanov Imperial Eagle. Finally, she rarely sets foot outside her quarters without an antique sabre strapped to her hip.
