Level-headed, easy-going, and possessing a deep empathy for others, Zhao Lian knew from a young age that she would follow her parents into the medical profession. Her resolve was soon tested as a devastating earthquake struck during a school trip. Zhao was commended for her bravery as she cared tirelessly for her wounded classmates despite the danger, but she didn’t escape unscathed herself, and developed severe PTSD following the events. Shaken but undeterred, Zhao continued pursuing her dream and became a decorated medic in a highly renowned Marine Commando unit.

New intel revealing threats against civilian populations have shook Zhao to the core once more, and she understands that she cannot be a passive bystander. Zhao vowed to fight her own demons to rise against new challenges, and to help any civilians caught in the conflict.
