Background:
Spoiler:
She used to be a withdrawn girl who enjoyed to isolate herself in the norwegian wilderness until she managed to befriend some children at school. Unfortunately, her father, a musician, was implied in a murder case that had shaken the underground scene and brought bad publicity as a whole. Since then, she have been bearing the stigma as child of a murderer. It did not help that she grew prone to fit of destructive rage seen as unusual from her typical personality, which eventually drew the intention of the authorities during a robbing incident where she put the criminals out of commission and did not even notice she was shot several times. That was after that incident that her mother was contacted by staff members of the Butei institution who promised her that they would find a way to control her dauther's bottled up fury. She moved in Japan a few months before the classes actually starts, since the second term had been ongoing and that she have yet to be fluent in japanese. On the day of her arrival, unable to find the girls' dorms, she met and befriended Preston Whitworth, who joined Butei to be able to pay his planned medicine studies. Hanging together with one of Preston's acquaintances, an Italian American, Fiorenza, Kirsten became used to the place in a few weeks, even taking on various part-time jobs, to the amusement of her new friends. She was introduced weeks later to Fiorenza's other friends, Amélie and Sanae. Together they would become as tight-knit as a "nakama" would be.

Viking fury, berserker rage, many names, same thing. This traces back to the tales of norsemen rushing at the enemy, without regard to pain and their own safety, and striking terror inside of the heart of those unfortunate enough to face those men clad in the pelt of wolves, bears or boars. In this state, Kirsten fight with a supernatural speed, strength and stamina. She would feel no pain and rely on her animal instinct to handle the rest. Needless to say that it is hard to stop her when she is berserk; hopefully, it is as hard to drive her to that state, seeing how her training at Butei allowed to harness this rage.
Trivia
Spoiler:
* The nickname Kirsty comes from the unfortunate girl who was the sole surviving protagonist of the two first Hellraiser movies.
*The last name Vikernes, while identical to the famous Varg Vikernes, doesn't mean she is related to the ex-leader of Burzum. But her father had links, as a musician, to the Black Circle and was involved in the unfortunate events that have struck the underground black metal norwegian scene. Even if those events happened years ago for him, he was still arrested later on.
*Outside of school and not in mission, she works part time in a maid cafe, and is dragged around by her friend Preston in conventions for cosplaying, the young man telling her that it is in the purpose of boosting her confidence.
*As shown in the picture, Kirsty like to wear a beret. This is a gift from her grandfather from her mother's side, a former Spetsnaz operative, even if it was just a cheap beret bought from a second hand military shop (so no, it is not the spetsnaz beret). This also means that Kirsty is not 100% Norwegian and have some russian blood. Unfortunately, this have caused her problems in grade and middle school, where other people have used the Russians' widespread reputation for brutality to push her.

Background:
Spoiler:
Preston's bloodline have changed its name two times over the course of the XXth century. It is said that they have done it to deal with the dishonour brought upon them by one ancestor's opium addiction, or another's ruinous gambling habits. However, this is more than that. The last member who have borne the original last name confessed in his deathbed to have a hand in a wave of tragedies that have struck London in the late XIXth century. Using the dying man's "lesser" faults as excuses, the descendants changed their family name, hoping that the legacy of the man would not pass on. However, it have come again, when his son, a military surgeon, used his profession to questionable goals during the First World War. This was the last time Preston's family changed their name. As a boy, Preston have felt a fascination for surgery. He have had an uncanny ability to identify a wound and how to fix it, however, as shown in some of his fightings at school, he also knows where to strike to disable. He lived with this seemingly supernatural abilities without regrets and planned to become a surgeon to do better as a man, but also to help people. However, his father's gambling habits pulled his family into big debt. Having heard of Butei school and the possibility to earn money while attending it, Preston forced himself to learn japanese. For that purpose, he have moved in Japan a few months before the beginning of the first term. One or two days later, Preston scouted the area, searching for a pretty girl to take on a date. His path have meet a fellow flirt, an american girl who have also have been looking for a partner to hang with. They quickly becomes acquaintances as fellow english language speakers. They split later as the night draws near and have given their respective cellphone numbers to each other. Joining the girl's acquaintances, Amélie and Sanae, he have performed well on various missions for about one year. A few weeks before the next school year, during an evening of February, he found a teenage girl from Norway, Kirsten who have been lost and looking for the girls' dorms. Being the gentleman he is, he have helped her to find the way and let her know who he is, she then gives him her name and Preston have replied that he would call her Kirsty from now on. Preston and Kirsty have spent the next days hanging around together, with Fiorenza, who always have been talking about her parents, siblings and some of the friends she have made during her stay in Japan. Fiorenza have introduced them to the joys of what she thinks to be japanese "customs", such as cosplay, conventions like comicket or maid cafe. Later, Fiorenza introduced Preston and Kirsten to her two other friends, Amélie and Sanae, forming what someone would call a fellowship
