Wonderful  Sherharon delivered the static version of the character sheet. Yes, this WILL get animated.

Prishela was the pinnacle of USSR robotics before the fall. She was supposed to be an example to throw in the face of the USA of the advances of the Soviet Union. Not only the first woman in space. But an example of Russian ability. A theriantropic beast capable of not only human interaction, but changing shape to accomodate diversified and possibly dangerous environments.

Built in the lost town of Kantubek, under great secrets, it is murmured that Prishela's power source (Code Named "Tunguska Drive"), was in fact alien technology that the USSR had been working on since 1942 and was able to reproduce and adapt to human technology via the secret "Skinny Bob" Project.

With a "variable asset body" (also known as "The Theriantropic edge") capable of working both like a human being and, in case of need, also to assume an high speed animal-like form, Prishela is capable of moving both in 3D environments and on land. Her running speed being 30 km/h for the anthropoid form or 130 km/h in her feral form. Her animal form has jump-jets which allow for great leaps. She's stronger, faster, and smarter than most human beings, though single human beings do exist that are better than her at any single thing.

Her flight, which should have taken her to the moon, failed in 1959. She was lost in space. Her module failed to give her power and she deactivated at a crucial moment. The 3 scientists who build her sent a last message to her capsule "Conditions growing worse, why don’t you answer? ... We are going slower... the world will never know about us..." the project lost funding after such a monumental failure.

Yuri Gagarin was then chosen as the Russian representative, but having wasted so many resources on the failed Prishela project the USSR failed to reach the moon.

Prishela's activation signal was detected a few weeks ago.

It happened under mysterious circumstances. No data was divulged, and even her possible activation was leaked by an unconfirmed source.

Since the Prishela project had been shelved and hidden as a big stain on the old USSR, and little knowledge of her remained after it (the three original head scientists having deported in siberia and died of hard labor) there is very little knowledge about even her existence. But NASA seems to have sent a crew to intercept one of the possible trajectories of her failed lunar module.

Unfortunately this is all unsubstantiated rumours. Even if Prishela existence were to be confirmed in the first place, nobody exactly would know how she was built. Everybody is afraid that dismantling her to study her might result in the loss of the only functioning prototype.

Drawings showing an alien battery at the tip of her tail, so it could "stay far from the Tunguska Drive", with extensive notations about catastrophic consequences in case of the battery's or the drive's rupturing makes the few scientists contacted, that divulged any detail while asking for anonymity, very wary of the consequences.
