Cryska Barchenowa

Nationality: Russian Affiliation: Soviet Union Army (Idol Test Flight) Rank: 2nd Lieutenant TSF: Su-37UB Terminator, Su-47E Berkut

As a child she was raised by the Soviet Military, later becoming a TSF pilot in the Soviet Military’s Idol test unit of the 331st Special Experimental Development Corps. She pilots a multi-seater Su-37B, and her skills as a pilot far exceed anyone else’s. She and her fellow pilot, Inia, are known as the “Scarlet Twins”. She is fiercely loyal to the USSR, and extremely cold to those around her, but treats Inia as a sister, saying she is "Everything" to her. Her emotions towards Inia are somewhere between love and obsession. This coldness toward everyone causes the initial interactions with Yuuya and her to be very strained.

A genetically-engineered psychic and a survivor of the top-secret UN plan Alternative III, she was originally created to attempt communication with the BETA, and joined the Soviet Army after Alternative III suffered massive losses and was declared a failure. She, like her "little sister" Inia (who is also part of the same Plan), wears limiters in the form of two hair clips. When she takes them off she goes berserk, wreaking devastation on BETA and allies alike.
