History

Vana Canterbury was born 30日 3月 22 in Nepleslia Prime.

Vana is part of the Canterbury clan which means she learned how to fight at a very young age. She and her older brother Caffran grew up learning stealth techniques from their mother and uncle, both of whom were special forces. Caffran may be the better stealther, but Vana is hands down the better shot.

At the age 9 she got caught up in part of the Nepleslian street war between Reds, Greens, Yellows and Blacks. The Canterbury Clan tried to remain neutral throughout the fighting. To them, there were more than enough enemies for Nepleslia to be fighting without picking a fight with each other. However, the Clan was never one to just sit buy, especially when they were attacked. Vana and her mother had been visiting some family when they were caught up in the fight. Even at a young age, Vana fought just as hard as any Vet. Taking an old hunting rifle, she made 15 confirmed kills all over 2k with just iron sights.

As soon as things calmed down and she turned 18 she enlisted. She excelled in boot camp and went to snipers school where she graduated at the top of her class. During her first few years she was a valuable sniper. She made three kills against enemy snipers and earned the coveted sniper name, HOG. She even had a boars head tattooed on her arm.

However her distinguished carrier came to a sudden end when her squad got pinned down by enemy long ranger artillery. For three days she was trapped with mortar shells going off all around her. Several landed so close to her that she was severely wounded. She woke up in a hospital and couldn't hear anything. The shelling had ruptured her ears. Over the next several months, she tried to get cybernetic eardrums, but her body kept fighting them. Her hearing just never retuned the way it was.

Vana was given a medical discharge and spend the next few years adjusting to being deaf. Though her family is very supportive, she doesn't like that they seem to treat her differently now that she can't hear. Although her family would and has supported her and would give her whatever she needed, like most Canterburys she's very independent and wants to support herself.

With that in mind, Caffran got Vana a service animal. A Gunhund. At first Vana was sceptical, but she soon grew to love it. She named it PORK. Pork is very devoted to Vana and let's her know of any sounds that she might miss. Like gunfire.

Currently, Vana is looking for work. Whatever she can get.
