Latune Subbota

A 14-year-old (in OG1, she's about 16 or so as of the latest game in the OG timeline of SRW) mecha pilot, Latune Subbota (Lat for short) had a rough past. Her earliest memories are of a living hell known only as The School, which subjected her and many other kids to dangerous, often deadly experiments. After she escaped (thanks to people being in the right place at the right time to save her after an "accident"), she was left afraid of most people. She had the chance for a civilian life at that point, but she went into the military when the people who saved her life did because she wanted to protect them. She would only respond to questions if those two people asked her them until she learned that most people are capable of kindness - she started opening up at that point.

until she learned that most people are capable of kindness - she started opening up at that point.

She would eventually go on to overcome her past entirely, facing the people responsible for her suffering head-on and not only coming out triumphant, she even managed to free some of her School friends in the process! After OG1 she had become a test pilot, and after OG2 her School friends (as well as one other pilot who had nowhere else to really go) were included in the testing squad, helping in the development of the latest models of machines.
