Story

Cold, reserved, and sharp as an arrowhead — Gina isn’t known for her warmth. As the leader of a notorious mercenary company, she commands both fear and respect in equal measure. Few dare approach her casually, and even fewer leave the conversation without feeling they’ve just stood before a storm held in check only by discipline.

Gina’s battlefield reputation is brutal and precise. Her mastery with the bow is unmatched, and her explosive arrows rain devastation upon enemy lines. Ruthless in her strategy, she leads with relentless efficiency, favoring guerrilla tactics that strike from multiple fronts and sow confusion in even the most organized armies. “You’d better pray she stays on our side,” mutters Sergey, echoing a fear many commanders share.

In a world where mercenaries are often seen as thugs for hire — loud, greedy, and undisciplined — Gina’s group, known as the Eagles, stands apart. Trained with the rigor of elite military units, her team follows a strict code: “Discipline is strength.” Many of them are orphans or outcasts, and several were saved by Gina herself. Through strict leadership and relentless structure, she forged them into something more than hired swords — a force of stability where there once was chaos.

Her strict principles weren’t born out of ambition, but from regret. In the early days of her career, Gina participated in a city siege that ended in tragedy. Though her role had been to secure the victory, what followed — the slaughter of innocent survivors — haunted her deeply. She told herself it was “just a contract,” but the images never faded. From that day on, Gina vowed that her blades would never again be turned on the defenseless.

Beneath her hard shell, though, lies a quieter truth. Despite her reputation, Gina has a tender side known only to a trusted few. Patrick once let slip her fondness for plush toys and sweet desserts — a revelation that earned him a long, silent glare and an urgent lesson in secrecy. But in those rare moments of softness, it becomes clear: Gina’s strength doesn’t come from being heartless. It comes from carrying a heart she’s had to protect in a world that rarely forgives compassion.
