Kristina Kushchyenko is a freelance hacker of Russian descent. She is currently living in the New York system.

Background

Kristina was born on Planet Manhattan and abandoned at a Catholic orphanage by her extremely absent-minded father, Mr. Kushchyenko, when she was 5 years old. Eventually Kristina left the orphanage on her own before her father remembered that he had left her.

When she met the Lane Hackers she was living as a nomadic freelancer armed only with her computer, банан. She had developed a folk hero-like status among many manhattanites who created larger than life descriptions of her. At her core Kristina is a joyful adolescent with an affinity for souvenirs and human comfort.

Characteristics

Appearance

Kristina is a skinny, diamond-colored teenage girl with bright blonde hair. Kristina wears a loose sleeveless white T-shirt, tight spandex leggings, and never wears footwear of any kind. Once she attempted to wear socks but she immediately lost her balance, suggesting she may have never even worn shoes. Her somewhat androgynous appearance often causes her to be mistaken for a boy.

Personality

Kristina has displayed many unusual character traits that are common of a teenager, and eccentric genius. She is a free spirit that sometimes shows emotion by growling or howling like a dog. Kristina rarely walks in a normal fashion; she instead prefers to run with her arms flailing, crawl on the ground, roll in somersaults, or walk on her hands. She is always talking about herself and will sometimes respond with nonsensical phrases. However, there is also plenty of evidence that underneath her eccentricities is a warm and caring girl.
