Pozëmka, or Avdotya Razorpen, as she calls herself. We can confirm that Avdotya is her actual first name, but she has been unwilling to provide her actual surname. After a risk evaluation, the HR Department has decided not to further press the issue.
Pozëmka was introduced to Rhodes Island by the Zeruertza business representative Croque Diamondface as a surveyor, and she now participates in our field operations as a Sniper Operator.
Avdotya Razorpen, the literature representative of Zeruertza, played a crucial role in persuading the Durins to evacuate to Acahualla, although it's difficult to imagine that this Lupo woman standing before us is really the person described in the reports. As a Lupo serving as a Durin city's literature representative, there had to be a story behind it.
Our hunch was right, but Pozëmka is also extremely cautious around most non-Durin operators. While very courteous, she never reveals anything unnecessary. All the operators who came back from Zeruertza have apparently been told her backstory, but they all tacitly avoid going into the subject.

After a very long time, Pozëmka finally went briefly into her past before making it to Zeruertza: she used to be the daughter of an Ursus noble, and her family members all died one after another in a despicable political conspiracy. She was the only one fortunate enough to make it out alive, and, completely by chance, managed to stumble her way to Zeruertza.
She told us all this very calmly without going into any of the finer details, but her ice-cold tone clearly conveyed to us the pain, disillusionment, and horrors she had suffered.
Since then, she has lived in Zeruertza for years, enjoying a peace and quiet that she could only have dreamt of in the past, until Zeruertza's everlasting summer finally came to an end. Not only did the carefree Durins play no small part in soothing the pain left by her experiences, they also allowed her to stay in the city as one of their own. However, she too began to hold an almost prejudiced distrust towards anything created by non-Durins (or 'surface-dwellers'), from their works of culture to industrial products.
This is not her fault, much less the Durins'.
