Profile
Banished from her community for being Infected, she has made a living as a mercenary in the criminal underworld. She is skilled in matters best left unsaid, and as a result of the base nature of the work has become known as 'Scavenger.' Since her introduction to Rhodes Island through an intermediary, she has given up her mercenary life to become an Operator.
Clinical Analysis
Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 12%
Operator has no obvious Originium crystals externally, however, tests have revealed an abundance of crystals internally. The limbic system of the brain has been particularly affected, and the Operator's personality changes are suspected to be related to this.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.29u/L
Due to high presence of Originium within the internal organ's, the Operator's circulatory system has a high Originium content.

Having been exiled by her tribe, betrayed by her client, and endured all manner of hardships, Scavenger prefers to act alone and is wary of others. Moreover, since her personality has been affected by Originium, she has become difficult to communicate with. Perhaps she'll open up a bit once she gets used to working at Rhodes Island.

Scavenger moves freely in harsh environments and will eat almost anything as long as it won't kill her. She is one of the most adaptable Operators, of truly unparalleled versatility. When given the chance, she enjoys resting in dark corners or eating a few specific foods.
Archive File 3
Scavenger is not interested in others' intel unless it's mandatory, while Provence is an exception. She tends to sneer at those who ask her about her interest in Provence, which is reflective of some sort of attraction. While Provence is considered generally attractive (many Operators particularly enjoy fluffing her tail), Scavenger seems to be interested in something else....
Archive File 4
Scavenger once loved a young woman from her own tribe, who reciprocated her feelings. For whatever reason, they did not express their feelings to one another until Scavenger became Infected and was banished from her tribe. The next time Scavenger was able to meet the young lady, she had already passed away and with her the knowledge of their forbidden love. This memory is a keepsake that Scavenger will forever hold close to her heart.
Promotion Record
No one understands why a covert mercenary would use such a heavy weapon for sneak attacks, as it is clearly unsuitable. Despite this disadvantage, Scavenger still manages to operate effectively. When others see her pass by, they typically come under the impression that she is not an assassin so much as an individual who will stop at nothing to eliminate everything in her path. No one doubts her abilities, and as for the actual truth behind her choice of weaponry? Who cares.

'Bowls are for holding food. Spoons are for scooping it. Canteens hold water. Cut up big pieces of food with your knife like this, stick your fork in, and you can put it in your mouth and eat it. You all got that?'
It's the young Zalaks' first time at the dinner table, learning how to use the tableware, and Hamelin is among them. She's never seen such sumptuous dishes before, their glistening sheen like flowing gold.
'Hamelin, when I grow up, I'm gonna make sure we eat really tasty food like this every day!'
Hearing the voice beside her perk up, she turns to look and is met with her sweetheart's smile.
Much, much later, when she's long since left her tribe, left her beloved, Hamelin skulks alone in the dark. It's been so long she hasn't the energy left to recall the scene. Even filling her stomach is too much to ask now.
Another mission nobody else was willing to take. Her failing to contact her target the first time has lost her all her equipment, the only thing saving her life being the ditch she hid in. The aftermath of this mission failure will be hard to shoulder, but she's void of fighting capacity anyhow. Hamelin presses forward, limping against the damp brick wall, eyes sweeping over the putrid filth, searching for anything she can make use of. Eventually, in the thick of the mud, she catches sight of a portable dining set that's been thrown away.
She picks it up, wipes it off, hangs it on her waist, and then climbs out of the sewer, finding the restaurant where her target sits.
In the process of taking out her target, every item in the set finds its use: the bowl, the spoon, the fork, the knife, the canteen... In a first for her, she's done an efficient job, undetected by anyone. Hamelin exits the lavish, high-end restaurant, and wanders alone onto the streets. She feels famished, completely out of strength. Winding down, she slowly slumps against a wall, pulls in her knees, and buries her head deep.
'Hello? You hungry? Want something to eat?'
Hamelin raises her head to find a large-tailed Lupo girl. The girl leads Hamelin back to her office, and places before her the remainders of her food supplies.
'It's all we've got. Put something inside you, okay?'
Watching Hamelin's movements, her brows suddenly knit.
'Hey, don't use your hands, you're carrying tableware, aren't you? Are you not that good with it? Let me teach you.
'Put your food in the bowl, then use that spoon to scoop up a mouthful. You can cut up big chunks of food with a knife, and stick it on your fork to eat it. Hand me your canteen, I'll fill you up some water.
'If you go hungry again, you're free to stop by every day for something to eat... huh? What's wrong?'
Hamelin stares up, blinking frantically, refusing to let the tears fall from the corners of her eyes.
