Biography: Faina was born the daughter of Katya Sokolov, one of the decendants of a scientist who worked in Soviet Russia during the reign of Hitler. She was raised to be an independant woman, and thus has a strong sense of maturity about her. Normally quiet and reserved, Faina decided to join Squad 3 to help herself become more outgoing and strong.

Biography: Orphaned at an early age, Pascha has often had delusions of grandeure, which she put into overdrive when she decided to join Squad 3. Her over-eagerness and energy has proven to be one of the squad's strongest points, but also one of its weakest. She relies heavily on the other girls, because she knows the least about the Major or his plans, even though she was chosen as the leader of the squad.

Biography: The bright and bubbly field medic for Squad 3. There is some speculation about her past, because it seems she doesn't like opening up to others very much about it. The outright blonde of the group, Keesa often slips up and says things she shouldn't, like calling the Major "cousin" over the radio. While he is her cousin, she's supposed to be keeping his identity a secret, and isn't doing a very good job of it.
