CHARACTER
Name: Gummy
True Name: Lada
Canon: Arknights (post Survivors: Children of Ursus )
Age: Unknown, though she is stated to have been in middle school at the start of the game.
History: Here! 

Powers/Abilities: 

• Provisions: One of Gummy's attacks towards an enemy will heal a nearby ally. In-game, this is justified as her providing snacks and food on the battle field.
• Cooking: If Gummy focuses on cooking rather than attacking, she gains a defensive boost. If she completes cooking, allies are healed and she gains an offensive boost.
• Frying Pan Specialist: Gummy has the chance to stun an opponent briefly while attacking. 

 

Inventory:

• Vault Door Shield: A trusty companion that she uses to block opponents and keep enemies from progressing further. 
• Frying pan: An even more trusty cast-iron frying pan! Used as both a blunt weapon and to help provide tasty meals! ... She sanitizes it super well I swear.
• Operative Gear: A duffel bag and harness of provisions, first aid supplies, travel supplies and survival supplies. Includes a radio communicator, flares, and honestly I cannot tell what else. 

Job History: 

• Middle School Student (Peterheim): Every child needs to learn! (Skills include: Studying, test taking)
• Youth Scout: Gummy was previously a member of the Youth Scouts, learning survival skills for the wild. From navigation, foraging, meal prep and shelter building, Gummy is prepared! (Skills include: Navigation, wild life knowledge (flora, fauna), wilderness survival)
• Ursus Student Self-Governing Group (CURRENT): During the fall of Chernobog, Gummy and several students from different schools were confined within Peterheim Middle School without supplies. The Ursus Student Self-Governing Group consisted of students of various backgrounds working together to survive, not aligning with the noble faction or the commoner faction. (Skills include: Combat, supply management, cooking, butchering, urban navigation)
• Rhodes Island Operator (CURRENT): Under the codename Gummy, Gummy now works as a Guardian Defender, meaning that she can and will be dispatched to battlefields to impede enemy progress and provide medical assistance and food to other operators. (Skills include: Combat, cooking, field medical aid)
• Rhodes Island Cafeteria Assistant (CURRENT): Gummy helps out at the cafeteria, providing delicious Ursus home cooking to her fellow operators and their allies! (Skills include: Cooking, distribution of meals, kitchen maintenance and upkeep)

Suppressions: 

During Reunion taking Chernobog, Gummy was one of many students sealed within Peterheim Middle School, leading to the greatest traumas of her life. From the Noble students robbing, assaulting and tormenting the commoners to the rapidly dwindling supplies being hoarded by the nobility, Gummy tries and to suppress her trauma: If she can be happy and healthy, so can her fellow survivors. Her PTSD manifests in anxiety and certain habits, however, and she still suffers from nyctophobia, among other things. When dealing with giving attacks or cooking, she never chops more than twice- the third strike will always be stronger than the previous two, strong enough that she can split the chopping board in half and damage the counter beneath it (did you know this is how you butcher bones?), and if she gets too hungry she will be overtaken by ravenous instinct and try to eat anything in sight... regardless of if they're breathing or not. Being in the dark makes the hunger feel worse, even if she's just eaten. Truthfully, she's also severely codependent on her fellow survivors- Zima and Istina especially.

Greatest Fear: To wake up back in Peterheim after the second food store was wiped out in the fire- or to be in a similar situation. It's heavily implied that the group had to resort to cannibalism near the end of it, and this haunts her severely. 

Greatest Desire: To find peace and healing alongside Zima, Istina, Leto and Rosa.

Greatest Regret: What it took to survive, and the fact that she knows she can do it again if it becomes necessary. They were children. Reunion didn't even make them do this. They just... did. They hurt each other, tore each other to shreds and when Reunion pulled back... so many stayed for the chaos. Gummy and the others took the chance to escape- but they left behind a madhouse of sin behind, and they stayed.
