Anika's base-line reaction to problems is that of anger and rage, which is extremely difficult to control, though with great effort she has learned how. Her control is very precious to her as is her image of control and competency. She is observant but tends to be dramatic, most of the time she likes to make a show and be the center of attention. She can be incredibly impatient but also can adapt quickly to new situations, it is this adaptability which has served to push her so far forward in her life. She lives in the moment, hates to theorize and consider cause and effect much beyond the moment having a tendency toward action and excitability. Socially, she is outgoing, friendly, and often has more thoughts to express than she has time to express them. Anika often comes off as aloof, because she is. She is apathetic in most cases toward the plight and experience of others unless it servers her purposes at the moment. The undercurrent along all of this is this feeling of betrayal, not only from her parents who were abusive and used her constantly but the military that created her. She burns with hate and anger, it is impossible to know which came first, her demonic side feeding her anger or her anger feeding her demonic side; at this point it is self serving - she uses her anger to propel her forward.
Her instability is the result of the mixing of a true demon forced into human form and an unwilling human-demon hybrid female, both were contained and trapped by powerful Divine Runes which trapped both creatures and helped the wizards manipulate the situation. The coupling took place over several days, and repeatedly. The end result was a pregnancy of 3/4 demon and 1/4 human, which created Anika. Even through this natural instability, she has learned (Through great effort) how to pull herself together and get the job done when she has to and it serves her purposes to do so. Still, she can be exceedingly brutal in lavish ways, feeding off of her own brutality and letting the bonds of control down long enough to relish in it.

Equipment
Background
Her parents conceived her in rage and malice for each other, invoked into sexual interaction by forceful spells put upon them by runes which hurt them to even be near. This forceful use of such powerful magic twisted and solidified in the new life born of the union, the event itself has fueled Anika's inner rage. A rage that was not helped by the rage of both of her parents who both felt they should raise the child. Oddly, for any demonic entity, the male (whom was a full demon forced into human form) wanted his new daughter to become his consort, to and aid him in his efforts of conquest in the Severed Realm. His mother wanted her daughter for similar reasons, to help her amass power and wealth in the human world. The pair fought constantly, which was stoked by their captors, when Anika reached puberty at around 9 years old, the staff of the installation where she was being held forced a conflict between the two parents and killed them both. They banished her father back to hell with powerful seals, humiliating the demon so he could never return and the woman they destroyed, sealing her demonic essence away and killing the human body.
Anika was lead to believe that the base personnel kept her safe all those years, it wasn't until she was 19 that she reached final maturity as a demon, she attacked her captors after years of lies and manipulations. As an adolescent she grew more powerful than they knew and realized their deception, but instead of balking against it she learned from it. Killing the team that held her, she then realized that she was trapped in the facility by the same runes which had trapped her parents for all those years. In trade for her freedom, she made a pact with the US Government, her service and skills in exchange for freedom from her cage. That, and they would let her kill and feed her taste for blood.
The only way for which the United States Government has found to control her is through the Seal of Hedone, which grounds her psychic energy allowing her to make more rational decisions. He insanity comes from the psychic turbulence caused by her picking up on the infernal energy given off by her strong demon half. Anika, however, is not a sociopath in a clinical sense, while very intelligence her control of herself is limited, which means on the scale she is closer to a high functioning psychopath. Although her mental state is far more complicated than that; she craves approval at times desiring to be the center of attention and gets violently angry when someone upstages her. At other times she displays an unusually brilliant amount of self control and composition, able to properly fade into the background and pull strings unseen. This fundamental conflict drives her motives and also gives her the appearance of being far more unstable than she actually is.
Demon Form : Ag'drimuth
- Transformed Height
- 5'9"
- Wingspan
- 6'
- Category
- 4
Anika is not a fused human-demon, but rather it is in her very blood. Thus while the Seal of Hedone allows her some control of her demonic energies but they are always there. If she wishes she can call upon those energies and transform into her demon self, suppressing the far smaller human side. Once her humanity is suppressed she transforms, her skin turns a pale ghostly white and phantasmal wings spread out from her back, supported by bare bones like that of a bat and she grows in stature to about 5'9" tall, growing in weight and muscle mass significantly in the process.
The demon, Ag'drimuth, feeds on life force or the souls of those it captures. It holds an intense rage toward mortal life, fed from the rage of Anika herself.
