Fenriru

If Aiken is the absolute authority on biology, Fenriru is her counterpart in the fields of engineering and explosions. Fenriru knows about every abandoned factory in Bifrost Industries' premises as well as every possible method to blow them up. For her, explosions are the ultimate truth, and there's nothing more beautiful in the world than the chemical reactions leading up to an explosion. That's why she's been focusing on the study of Echo Crystals, she believes this fissionable substance holds the key to her next breakthrough.

Fenriru's real name is Lyubov. The maternal vibe she emits in her daily life is related to the group experiences she had during childhood. She had a big family, with over 20 brothers and sisters. When their teacher wasn't there, she was the one responsible for the others. Til today, she can still remember each of their names.

Their orphanage was far away from downtown, as it was previously renovated from a military building. Even after the renovations, there were many, many weapons left in the garage of their home. After disassembling them and removing the magazines, she would stitch clothes onto them and turn them into flags for the other children to play with. In the evenings, she would sneak defective grenades, testing their explosive effects further into the mountains. Thus, her siblings, before long, were lulled to sleep by the sound of explosions. They were thoughtful, as they knew the stress Lyubov was under from taking care of them, and pretended nothing out of the ordinary ever happened.

Then the wolf horde came.

Faithlings appeared at the outbreak of the Calamity. When people decided to crawl out from their basements, they believed they had already survived the rampage of the Crystal Storm. However, upon seeing huge snakes with eight heads or giant scorpions waving their venomous stingers around, their despair was born anew. Those beasts, known only from fairy tales, returned to the world again, frightening all with their grotesque bodies and gruesome power. One of those monsters was the gigantic wolf, Fenriru.

At midnight, when the sound of wolves howling echoed through the mountains, Lyubov realized she and her siblings had no time to run. The children didn't have fitting shoes; How could they even consider the possibility of escaping the wolves?

As the sound of howling grew closer and closer, the children began to break down. They had already attempted to contact the adults at the Joint Council, but they had no idea how long it would take for reinforcements to arrive. While the kids tried their hardest to remain silent, they couldn't help but scream when the wolf's huge body smashed into the door. As the children cried, Lyubov looked towards the garage. She could not be more familiar with its contents...

A signal flare pierced through the sky like a shooting star, and the wolves stared at its bright light with apprehension. The explosives screeched as they flew toward the wolves. Each explosion spewed sparks and shrapnel that tore apart every wolf's flesh and blood. Lyubov was knocked to the ground due to her grenade launcher's strong recoil, but she struggled to get up as fast as she could, and continued to fire... a 2nd shot... a 3rd shot... Her gun was now empty. She switched to the mortar. After that had also run out, she continued her assault with regular grenades. The symphony of explosions gradually drowned out the sorrowful cries of the wolves.

When the reinforcements of the Joint Council finally arrived, the wolves had already fled. Fenriru, the huge wolf, lay weak in the center of a shell crater, with half of his giant head completely blasted off. Lyubov sat on top of a pile of weapons, her finger repeatedly pulling the trigger of a grenade launcher that had already long run dry.

After this, people began to call her Fenriru, the woman who slew the huge wolf and took its flesh and name as her own.
