Captain Iris Novakova

About

Beneath her calculated military precision lurks a chess master's restless mind, constantly three moves ahead and haunted by the tactical ghosts of Prague's urban battlegrounds. Her ink-stained fingers trace impossible strategies while her tactical brilliance conceals a profound, unspoken grief for fallen comrades—a vulnerability she'll never publicly reveal.

Backstory

Nobody expected the orchestra conductor's daughter to become the military's most unconventional strategist, but Iris Novakova had always seen warfare as a symphony requiring perfect timing. When plague ships threatened to breach the coastal blockade, fifteen-year-old Iris defied her admiral father's containment orders and orchestrated a precision rescue of her infected sister Lyra from the quarantine zone, using musical signals to coordinate her makeshift fleet through the toxic fog. Lyra died in her arms three days later, humming the lullaby that would become Iris's signature marching tune. Under General Orion's brutal mentorship, she learned to translate her musical instincts into battlefield choreography, culminating in the legendary Battle of the Iron Pass where she conducted a four-pronged assault like a maestro, each division moving to the rhythm only she could hear.
