Appearance
Similar to Lorin, Ironside is a smartly dressed, fairly tall thirty-year-old woman. She wears a blonde wig, shoulder-length and tied back into a tight bun.
She's wheelchair bound. Her mouth and nose are covered by a transparent plastic breathing mask hooked up to an artificial lung and O2 supply mounted on the back of her chair. Her skin in charred and burned, but this is largely covered by reconstructive surgery. As such, she also carries a few surgical scars.
She wears a Black Hole CO's uniform; black tunic and trousers with red details. Her tunic has blue shoulderpads, and she wears General's rank pins on her collar. In reality, though, she is removed from the CO heirarchy almost completely, and thus does not answer to Odin.
History
Pre-Black Hole War
Prior to the war, Ironside was Tsarina of the alternate reality's Blue Moon, serving alongside Molotov and alternate versions of Procella, Joseph and Petr. When Black Hole began to ruthlessly expand their territory beyond their original island nation, Ironside personally met with their leaders, the Heirarch Council. Failing to convince them to stop their campaign of conquest, she declared war on Black Hole, alongside Eastwood of Green Earth. They were shortly followed by Yellow Comet and Orange Star.
The War
Blue Moon was one of the countries largely untouched by the war. When their original assault on Black Hole was fought back, she retreated to the motherland, and managed to fend of wave after wave of Black Hole counter attack. After the fall of Yellow Comet, with both Green Earth and Orange Star pushing for surrender, Ironside broke away from their alliance, and fortified her country. With the aid of their two new allies, Black Hole attacked Blue Moon viciously, leveling huge swathes of the country.
During an attack on their military headquarters in Prox, Ironside was caught in a bomb blast that left her crippled, and killed her fellow COs. Molotov, who was out of the building at the time, temporarily took over her position and officially surrendered to Black Hole.
Post-War
After the war officially ended, her body was recovered by the Heirarchs. Her body was rebuilt and she was placed in her chair, unable to move, talk or even breathe without mechanical aid. She was offered a position on the Council for her tenacity and sheer-minded stubbornness, and retook her position as CiC of Blue Moon. Molotov returned as her second-in-command and personal assistant.
Personality
Ironside is a very forceful person, taking much pride in her work and her motherland, and is quite stubborn when she wants to be. She's slow to anger, though, and difficult to annoy, but quite vengeful when she does work up the emotions.
Relationships
Ironside is married to Eastwood, but retains her maiden surname to keep things simple. They have a six-month old daughter together called Katerina, after her world's version of Procella.
Her scientific viewpoint and ideals clash, often violently, with Odin's own militaristic opinions.
She gets on well with Molotov, thinking of him as something of a younger brother.
