"I was a teenager that time when I lost my parents. But when I grew up, I realised that life has now sent me to fight for myself and others."

— Katya's childhood

Born in 1910, Katya had the roots of her parents being Indian during the British Raj and raised in the middle of Russia. She was learnt to hold a gun at the age of five by her father, who was a hunter. The relationship with her father was a true bonding, as she always wished that he won't grow old and stay like he is. But, when her father was attacked by a carnivore while out hunting for food, Katya couldn't resist that pain for losing one she loved the most. Her mother was the only option left and never thought of leaving her instead, as she protested that she'll protect her family from being attacked from any of the obnoxious forces out there. When she grew up, and the Soviet Union rose to power, she put that urge to fight for her family and country. Being successfully recruited, she was proud to be promoted as a soldier fighting for the borderlines. But as years passed, and Katya surpassed the rank of Sergeant, her mother fell ill and just gave hope to her daughter that her passion will be successful to serve Mother Russia, as her father up there would be proud of her too. As those were her mother's last words, Katya never forgot what her parents taught and did for her, ready to experience and live her new life.
