The growing trend of bachelor national leaders seeking out partners or spouses has led Directress N. Adrianna Cain of the Grand Unified Federation to re-evaluate her satisfaction in life. Well, not quite, as she is fairly happy in the matter, but as she has never had such an opportunity as a relationship, the idea interests her.

At thirty-two years old, Directress Cain is the leader of Perimeter Defense, elected as a high-end military commander (former field marshal) and a diplomat. Her military background colors her lifestyle: Her hobbies include weekly sniper free-for-alls in the softpellet forest and jungle arenas across Perimeter Defense. She enjoys the heat of battle as she personally commands PD troops in wartime situations. She is skilled with any weapon from the scoped rifle to the rocket launcher, but her weapons of choice are the semi-automatic coilgun often used as a sniper rifle, and the Fist of Rigella, a variant on the Pride ceremonial sword that is much more effective. She was once the recordholder for greatest distance between shooter and target, at 2,530 meters. She is also skilled in karate, taekwondo, Capoeira, kendo, and is known to test national computer security systems by hacking into them.

Cain possesses several interesting attributes, such as eidetic memory (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/eidetic_memory), most notably her memorization of whole book pages in a few seconds, and has used this on several occasions to get histories of nations with whose delegates she is to interact. She was initially diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome as a young girl, but this has either been dispelled or was misinterpreted. Nevertheless, she has several minor social quirks, such as an aversion to other people singing, sudden, random lapsing into introversion, and a requirement for many things in her life to be highly held-up by schedules, charts, and tables. She is a polymath, being educated in law, medicine, psychology, computer science and engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics, and general weapons technology; her skill coupled with her memory can allow her to make most primarily mechanical firearms with the necessary materials, without assistance.

Physically, Adrianne Cain has shoulder-length wavy blond hair, is a heterochrome with a blue left eye and a green right eye, and is six feet three inches tall. She has undergone light genetic enhancement dealing with the way her body handles fibrous muscle tissue density, giving her the strength of an equivalently fit male, but with the very shapely form of a female. Consequently, however, she is still rather heavy on the muscles at 184 lbs. She has appeared on FHM (PD) twice, and keeps the #43 slot on their Top 100, with the label "The Amazon."

Quite contrary to the breeding of other national leaders, Cain does not know how to dance, dislikes formal gatherings, and would much prefer to shoot from a horse than race it. Outside of interactions with other nations, she is profane and rather loud.

Cain's preference in men include "nerds who mean business," as in the highly intelligent who do not sacrifice strength of stature for their mental capacity. She likes non-desk military officers who serve significant time on the battlefield, as well as even average soldiers.

Being relationally and sexually virginal, Cain may prove rather awkward in initial steps; equally neophytic partners may share in her confusion, but more experienced men should take it easy. She is not homosexual, but her feminine traits have been de-emphasized by her background.

Directress Cain's life was uninteresting until she reached the age of eleven, wherein most of her immediate family was massacred and she herself was raped several times over two weeks. Her captors and murderers of her relatives kept her and her aunt for said duration, the last day of which her aunt was shot in the head for struggling, and she later on killed the five criminals with their own submachine guns. A possibly apocryphal story notes that when the police came to identify the source of the sounds, she was innocently playing with a plastic toy, sitting on a pool of blood that belonged to the captors.

With no one willing to take her in, Adrianne Cain was sent off to the military, where she was clothed, sheltered and educated. Her performance record in school was amazing by national standards, and she excelled at everything she did. Tall and somewhat strong for a girl, the voluntary military training in the academies appealed to her. After finishing her high school studies in under a year and finishing a single computer science course, normally five years, in just one and a half, she went off to join the military, at age 14. This was not illegal, unlike compulsory registration. She was known among her elders and superiors for her rapidly-generated and efficient tactics, her charismatic and unfailing ability to inspire her comrades, and general effectiveness in battle caused her to rise up the ranks. Surprisingly, very little envy was directed at the young soldier-officer-commander-leader - mostly respect and trust. She fought alongside her troops always, never taking a job that was primarily grounded in pencil-pushing. By age 28, she was a Field Marshal of Perimeter Defense.

As Directress, Cain has dropped her Marshal rank and is now Supreme Commander. Against the wishes of her advisors and friends, she still very often fights on the battlefield itself. Her current confirmed killcount is 3,975, 600 of which were sniper hits and 1,200 of which were made in a single battle, over 9 days.
