(( the following information is acquired from the file of Freysdóttir, Anastasía ))
FULL NAME: Anastasía “Anya” Freysdóttir
DATE OF BIRTH: June, 17th, 1997
EYE COLOR: Blue Grey
HAIR COLOR: A mix of Blue, Green and Purple.
ETHNICITY: Caucasian
HEIGHT: 6’ 0”
WEIGHT: 180lbs
GENETIC ENHANCEMENT ABILITY: Self-duplication
ABILITY NOTES: This operative is capable of creating perfect duplicates of themselves, including clothing. These duplicates appear to have a variable half-life depending on the effort expended to create and sustain them. They all share the same mind, with their experiences and knowledge being linked which has allowed the operative to undertake multiple tasks simultaneously; such as having one sleeping, one running, while another duplicate is eating. Maintaining large numbers of these duplicates seems to be exhausting for the operative to create though each duplicate is able to maintain its own existence by spending time to sleep or eat and her overall physical strength becoming divided between them. We’ve also noticed that in addition to her being able to share her mental experiences between the duplicates she also shares physical sensations with all copies, such reacting to the touch or sound that one sustains for example. She has maintained at least three copies almost constantly since being recruited, though we have noticed that despite being the same person these duplicates have exhibited variations of her personality, to the point that they’ve developed slightly different tastes and interests. Re-absorbing a duplicate seems to reinvigorate her while the death of one of her duplicates causes her incredible pain and can induce a catatonic state.

STRENGTHS: This operative has shown a great aptitude for dividing her focus between a multitude of avenues and probably best described as the epitome of multitasking. In fact we’ve often noticed that she seems most successful when working on multiple mental tasks rather than physically exhorting ones; this being said she does excel when it comes to delicate work with her hands or most things computer based. It has been observed that when creating duplicated it does sometimes cause wounds to become lessened which can allow her to heal slightly quicker overtime as the injury becomes easier to manage.
WEAKNESSES: While she’s capable of extreme multitasking she can sometimes become more interested in another task and zone out from her current one while focusing on the actions of another duplicate, yet she also seems unable to only focus on one task. We have observed that her success rate often develops concurrently to how occupied she is with other duties and as such prior to mission training we've been required to ensure sufficient stimuli to afford success. This usually only happens if her current task is something she dislikes or finds boring. While she can differentiate between her duplicates she does suffer from instinctive reactions across all of them if the incident is sufficient; this is mostly just an inconvenience however severe injuries do affect her more. Sudden loss of a duplicate seems to have a two-fold effect on all those remaining, in that they all sustain the pain and some version of the injury that has caused the other’s death but depending on the ratio between the remaining duplicated it can cause them to enter into a catatonic state with a duration that is proportional to their total number.
FEARS: This operative doesn’t do well in solitary confinement or while being deprived of her duplicates. She struggles with the concept of only having one body in order to perform tasks and dreads being limited in such a way as she compares it to having her head placed in a jar for all eternity. Though despite these fears of being limited she also fears the possibility of her duplicates developing on their own and leaving her, or even hurting her. This is somewhat understandable since beneath her mostly bright demeanour she is the alone in this world.
LIKES: We’ve observed that this operative enjoys a wide range of activities and hobbies with her current focus changing on a fairly regular basis. This is most likely due to her consuming such interests at a much higher rate than most people given that she can effectively maintain constant engagement by switching out her duplicates. This has resulted in her having dabbled in a wide range of skills, though her interest has often waned before allowing her to develop any particular mastery she has experimented with several instruments and forms of artistic expression; such as dancing and art. She does continue to enjoy motorbikes, even more so at high speeds as well as having a great love of hot-tubs and hot chocolate, especially during colder months as it reminds her of her father. She also adores physical affection with others and will often hug people repeatedly in greeting, which can often happen with her several times a day as each duplicate will discount previous meetings. We believe that this is done on purpose to irritate more reclusive operatives.
DISLIKES: If left without something to do this operative can become quite agitated, and usually requires at least one of her duplicated to be wholeheartedly engaged with something. She utterly despises boredom in all its forms and will become agitated if ordered to cease keeping herself occupied, though she can often spare at least one duplicate to attend to matters requiring her official presence.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: We’ve observed that this operative has a penchant for exaggeration and tends to have extreme reactions to rather mundane events. This has the effect of her personality sometimes being a little overwhelming in a one-on-one situation, and due to her often having several versions of herself around the institute this can escalate rather easily. Despite that, on the whole she is a rather bubbly and vibrant person who is always trying to focus on the positive and being hopeful. This does appear to be due to her trying to wall off the majority of her pessimistic views to only one or two of her duplicates rather than letting it infect them all; though she has also created some which only embodied certain aspects of her personality but we believe that these were stress-induced rather than intentional. I am hesitant to add that this operative is known to talk to herself with alarming regularity since this would appear to be self-evident, but in addition to having open discussion with her duplicates they all seem to talk to themselves as well.

HOMETOWN: Hafnarfjörður, Iceland and later Cave City, Kentucky.
FAMILY MEMBERS: Freyr Aðilsson (Father), Samantha Adderton (Mother), Sisters?
HISTORY PRIOR TO INTAKE This operative was born in the European nation of Iceland, where she spent the first few years of her life before moving with her mother to the state of Kentucky following her father’s death when she was twelve years old.
Records of her birth have been slightly contradictory with some suggesting that she was one of a pair of twins or even triplets though her official certificates have her listed as an only child. There is however a mention of several prolonged periods where the baby entered into a coma and was unable to be roused for several days. Beyond this point the child seems to have recovered and lived with their parents on the northern coast of Iceland, in the city of Hafnarfjörður.
INTAKE DETAILS
We located this operative following a fatal shooting at her maternal grand-parents’ home in southern Kentucky. It would appear that following a police chase a criminal had holed up within the property in order to take shelter from their pursuers and encountered resistance resulting in an altercation while attempting to take hostages. We arrived on the scene a few hours later and handed over the murderer to the appropriate authorities as well as finding both a dead duplicate with the rest of her family and her sleeping body upstairs under one of the bed. She was then taken and transferred to the institute for processing. Recruitment completed and report compiled by Bartholomew Westwick.
