Polina Livinskaya

Polina Livinskaya (ポリーナ・リヴィンスカヤ), or Lina (リーナ), is a Russian astronaut that Group B-5 finds in a cryostasis pod on Planet Icriss.

Appearance
Polina has long blond hair and hazel colored eyes. She wears a short-sleeved maroon outfit and white slippers.

Personality
Polina displays herself as a calm and collected individual, though she is shown to have emotional outbursts from time to time. She also suffers from memory loss due to her time in hibernation.

Background
Polina is a former Russian astronaut. Unlike Group B-5, Polina is from the planet Earth rather than the planet Astra. Her crew stopped on the planet Icriss to repair their comm system, but were attacked by the trees on the planet, damaging their ship, the Ark VI. After crash-landing, the rest of her crew left to look for supplies, leaving Polina alone on the ship. Her crewmates are attacked and killed by the trees, and never return. Polina moved the Ark VI and placed herself in a cryogenic sleep to wait for a rescue party, staying there for 12 years before Kanata Hoshijima and the Astra crew found her.

Funicia Raffaeli
Years after the show, Polina becomes one of Funicia's teachers.

Trivia

 * The name Polina is a Russian variant of Paulina, which ultimately comes from the Roman family name Paulus, meaning "small" or "humble".
