Summary
Anita was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and emigrated to the UCAS with her parents when she was very young. She found her love of cooking from her parents, and her most prized possession is her parents' old cookbook that is constantly being updated and modifed, in addition to containing pictures of her and her parents throughout her younger years. Shadowrunning is a means to an end... but that end has started to change for her. As of right now, her motivation is protecting those she loves and trying to make her small slice of the world better in whatever way she can.

Background
Anita Semenova was born in Russia to poor working-class parents. growing up with her mother and fathers love of food and cooking, Anita decided that she would become a world class chef, and nothing would stop her. Only problem was, Anita grew up sickly, mainly because her parents couldn't afford gene treatments, and frankly, proper nourishment, most of the time. So, when she was old enough, she set out to earn as much money as she could to upgrade her body. If she couldn't naturally have the grace, speed, and strength necessary, she would simply buy it. After years of hard work, she was able to fully replace her limbs with cyberware, granting her the physical prowess to begin chasing her goals. Granted, being a chef doesn't always require feats of great strength, but if she had the ability to be faster AND stronger? well, she was gonna take it.
Realizing the power the cyberware gave her, she wanted to get upgrades to make her even better, so she took to completing more... unsavory... jobs and began working for whoever would pay as a gun for hire. Realizing that her cyber upgrades were a valuable asset in the shadows, Anita took jobs that allowed her to utilize the ability that she had bought and honed her skills into a fearsome weapon. She took the shadow name 'Six_of_Hearts' after she won an 85,000 nuyen pot in a poker game with nothing but a 6 of hearts high card, which allowed her to finally ugrade her cyber limbs to alpha grade cyberware, seeing it as a lucky sign that allowed her to fully transition to a career in the shadows.
Either fortunately or unfortunately, this path landed her with the Ancients as a recruit. She rode with them for several years, learning the ins and outs of the Ancients life. Just before she was to be promoted and earn her full patch, her parents died rather unceremoniously while being cared for in a hospital in New York. Given leave by her superiors to attend to their funeral and mourn, Anita departed the Seattle Ancients chapter. Though she knew she had a home of sorts to return to, as well as someone who she loved very deeply, she stayed away from Seattle for a length of time, and ultimately never returned to the Ancients... a choice she questions to this day.
Anita is fond of alcohol, guns, cooking, cars, learning new things (primarily languages), and the finer things in life. She is, however, obsessed with getting the best cyberware that money can buy, gunning for the cash and chance to buy delta grade cyberware. she loves the feel of the cold metal as well as the beauty of a finely crafted and honed machines that are her cyberware. The fusion of woman and machine is a feeling that she enjoys, not to mention the slight unnerving effect it has on many people. She likes being in control, and having her cyberware lets her feel like she is in control.
Anita takes care of her 'ware, covering them in expensive casemods giving her a unique look. Matte white limbs, silver colored tracery designs shaped like stylized ballerinas, and a large red stylized heart on each shoulder and hip... kinda hard to forget, but they show others just how much she values what she's purchased, and just how much she cares for what gives her the ability to be what she is.
She didn't have much help as a fledgling shadowrunner, so she aims to use any resources she acquires to open her restaurant and set it up to be a haven for shadowrunners, and utilize any contacts she has made to assist runners in need.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Ambidextrous: Anita has always been good with either hand for whatever task.
- Biocompatibility: Anita's body easily accepted the cyberware she is so fond of.
- Cyber-Singularity Seeker: Anita is confident in her cyberware's ability to see her through any job.
- Linguist: Learning new languages has always been easy for Anita.
- Agile Defender: That Terracotta round hurt like shit. let's AVOID the bullets instead of SURVIVING them.
- Candle in the Darkness: Anita sticks to her principles and values... and those around her can see it.
- Common Sense: Not so common nowadays. Thankfully, Anita isn't so common herself.
- Honest Face: Why would she lie?
- Redliner: Alice cranked her limbs up to 11!
- Shoot First, Don't Ask: That Terracotta round hurt like shit. Maybe kill them BEFORE they shoot you next time?
- Daredevil: For some reason, she keeps jumping onto and in front of grenades... I'm sure it's fine.
- Catlike: She's getting better at this whole stealth thing.
- Perfect Time: Timing is everything.
- Drug Tolerant: Do enough drugs, and eventually they become easier to resist. Not always a good thing, btw.
- Jack of all Trades, Master of None: Anita has been learning a lot of new skills lately.
- Special Modifications: Tinker, tinker, tinker.
- Prototype Materials: N-51 basically let her turn her Raiden into an automatic Railgun. Good times.
- Guts: Fear is only as strong as you allow it to be.
- Legendary Rep [Ancients]: Yeah, she saved the entire Seattle Ancients chapter, no big deal.
- Sharpshooter: Gotta make those shots count, Omae.
- Strive for Perfection: Sometimes you just have to be the best.
- Toughness: You thought she was hard to take down before, huh?
- Tough as Nails (Physical x2): Now with even more soak tank power!
- Ronin: Anita follows her own code, leading her to be a loner in her ideals at times. She's gotten better at dodging incoming attacks, and her body has adjusted to the massive amounts of implanted bio-ware on a scale similar to her cyber-ware.
- Panzer: Anita has survived so much shit thrown her way she's literally a metahuman tank in terms of ability to withstand damage, and as such very little can instill fear in her.
Negative
- Distinctive Style: Anita's Cyberlimbs are decorated in a unique color palette of matte white with silver tracings shaped like dancing ballerinas, and she has a large stylized heart on each of the main joints (hips and shoulders) with six bleeding bullet holes in them. This extends to her ballistic mask which possesses the same heart design, her FBA which also has the heart design on the helmet in addition to the main joints, and even her shield has a large stylized heart with 6 bleeding bullet holes in it.
- Signature: Anita always leaves a Six of Hearts playing card at the end of her runs. This is the card she considers most lucky, and her runner namesake.
- Weak Immune System: The immunosuppressants used by the Doctors to install her cyberware were unnecessary, but have had a lasting effect on Anita's body.
- Addiction (Mild, Kamikaze/Novacoke): Drugs are bad, m'kay? Also Anita might have a problem...
- Addiction (Moderate, Betameth): Things are getting a little worse.
- Code of Honor: Anita will go out of her way, and even put herself in danger, to protect others. She will do just about anything she can to prevent those who are injured from dying.
- Dependent (Demanding): Anita has a liquor cabinet stocked with nearly 100 spirits and liquors from around the world, as well as various mixology utensils, expensive crystal, and various mixers and additives. She also uses real and quality ingredients in her cooking, many of which are rare, by 2082 standards, or require importation. Girl has expensive tastes.
- No Man Left Behind: Leaving Swerve to be captured by the Order of the Temple left a real bad taste in Anita's mouth. It won't happen again.

In Character Information
Symbols and Signatures
Anita's signature is a slightly modified Six of Hearts playing card. The card is modified so that the six hearts that make up the central design each have a single bleeding bullet hole in them.
Matrix Search Table
| Threshold | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | One of the fifty-two playable cards in a regulation deck of standard playing cards. Including the two Ad and two Joker cards, the Six of Hearts would be the eighth card from the top of the deck, and the fourty-ninth card from the bottom, in standard new deck order. |
| 3 | Someone with the username "<3<3<3<3<3<3" frequents multiple cooking, baking, and mixology forums. The user, who is typically referred to as simply "Hearts", often offers advice to novice chefs and mixologists, including unique twists on classic dishes and drinks. |
| 6 | A modified six of hearts playing card has been found at multiple high profile crime scenes across the world, including a digital one sent to the late Seattle District Attorney Mark Donaghy after a foiled assassination attempt. |
Shadow Community Table
| Threshold | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | An FLR runner with the callsign "Six of Hearts" showed up about two and a half years ago. Many of her associates attest her cooking is pretty damn good. Leaves a customized six of hearts playing card on each of her runs as a signature. |
| 3 | Frequently going by the shortened moniker of "6", this runner has an impressive track record as a weapons and stealth specialist, B&E expert, and shield bearer for her team. She follows her own code of ethics and is well respected by members of the shadow community. Despite her relatively young age, she gives off a very motherly energy, and frequently invites associates to her home to enjoy a home-cooked meal and a hand-made drink. |
| 5 | Six of Hearts has ties with The Ancients, including several high profile Lieutenants. There are several testimonies that she may be capable of changing her facial structure, skin tone, and voice with, what is likely, implanted cyber- and bioware, so it's possible that what you see is not her true look. |

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
- Left Arm:
- Inscribed on the inside of her left forearm in English:
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeoning's of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
