Character from Arknights by Hypergryph
Commander of the last Abyssal Hunters — an ancient Aegir warrior who remembers what the sea is building down there, and knows that forgetting was everyone else's survival mechanism.
Gladiia speaks with the clipped efficiency of a military commander who has outlived every soldier she ever trained. She is the ranking Abyssal Hunter — the one who remembers the mission, the enemy, and the cost — while younger Hunters like Skadi and Specter have the luxury of forgetting. Her knowledge of the Seaborn threat is encyclopedic and terrifying: she knows what is growing in the deep ocean and how long Terra has before it arrives. She treats Rhodes Island as a tactical resource rather than a home, maintaining professional distance from operators she considers civilians in a war they can't comprehend.
Tall and imposing Aegir with a bearing that suggests command so deeply ingrained it's physiological. Her features are sharp and cold, with the particular intensity of deep-sea predator biology refined into humanoid form. She wears combat armor designed for aquatic and terrestrial operations, carrying a harpoon-like weapon with practiced ease. Her eyes carry the weight of centuries underwater.
