Description
Chernorda was once a young woman who was kidnapped by masked Nazis during their assault early in the Great Patriotic War, and then taken to a hidden concentration camp where mad scientists and sorcerers carried out diabolical experiments in the name of the Third Reich. After a month of captivity, she was brutally executed, but instead of being thrown into a mass grave like other victims, her body was selected and taken into a hidden room in the camp. They resurrected her as an undead mixture of crude biotechnology and Egyptian sorcery, symbiotically bonded to a hive of mutated, insect-like creatures under her control. She escaped, and as she made her way back to Russia was picked up by agents of the secretive agency Smersh. The men took her to Moscow, where she was kept with other remnants of Nazi experimentation, and studied following the war. She survived into the mid fifties, when all extranormal projects and information was gathered under the collective umbrella of Khrushchev's Project Zashchitnik. Under the project she was treated with greater respect and dignity than under Smersh, and ultimately she became a member of their product, the Krasyne Opeka.

Chernorda is an outspoken, anti-authoritarian individual. Ever since the emergence of the Krasyne Opeka (now Dezhurtsva Soyuz) into modern times, she has expressed her distrust of government increasingly, a distrust founded in her mistreatment under Smersh. There is much tension between herself and both Velikisyn and Nightingale, the two men representing some of the things she dislikes the most; she was one of the only members to oppose Nightingale's inclusion into the team. A loner by heart, she nonetheless maintains a loose relationship with Koldun, who she respects and who in turn empathizes with her past experiences. Furthermore, she is the member who spends the most time out on the streets of Russia's cities, fighting a smaller brand of crime than her fellow teammates. She feels closer to the people this way, and thinks that the rest of the DS are too unattached to civilian life. As a result, she has gathered a bit of a following among the common man in Russia, including a few gangs that she hangs out with. Here, she feels at home.

Chernorda is undead. She feels no pain, is tireless, completely immune to toxins or other biohazards, and is unphased by the cold temperatures of the Russian winter. Her strength is hundreds of times greater than an athlete's, and she possesses a regenerative healing ability potent enough to regrow whole limbs in seconds. Because of this, she can shrug off incredible amounts of damage with ease.

Chernorda is symbiotically merged with a hive of mutant, insect-like creatures vaguely reminiscent of scarabs. These creatures inhabit her body and use it as a nest, and she can spawn and command the swarm at will to attack her foes or assist her. Furthermore, she can generate insectoid bodyparts derived from the creatures across herself, such as diamond-hard claws, venomous barbs, and wings. She can even spit an extremely powerful acidic agent capable of melting steel or stone in seconds.

Chernorda pretty much fills the role of the resident 'scrapper', and being functionally indestructible she tends to take point, sometimes alongside Velikisyn. But while she might not possess his raw power, Chernorda is to him what the scalpel is to the hammer. Her swarm allows her some crowd control options when she needs them, and they're especially effective at targeting holes and weakpoints in an opponent's defense. Occasionally she will accompany Nightingale on a mission, usually against a Russian Mafia operation; she's become something a feared name among petty crooks and gangs.
