KSVK/Story
| KSVK | Story | Quotes |
Introduction
KSVK is a earnest T-Doll who is recognized for her achievements on the battlefield, but is also modest and gets bashful when praised. She displays eighth-grader syndrome and often speaks in a cryptic manner that makes her difficult to understand, but unlike other Dolls with this trait such as Nemesis, she easily drops her act.
Before joining Griffin & Kryuger under the designation KSVK, she was known as Dushevnaya, a Doll both looking and acting like a child. It's under this form that she joined Project Neural Cloud.
In Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium, Dushevnaya uses her own names for certain characters: The Hero (herself), Contractor of my fate (The Commander during Ashen Tale), Supreme Leader (Ullrid), Great Sage (Littara), and Great Healer (Rosalind).
Real name
When Pandea work conceived KSVK for her release in early 2019, he gave her the Chinese name 杜莎妮 (dùshānī), cyrilized as "душевный" and latinized as "dushevnyy" (missing the capital letter), a Russian word that translates to "sincere", "soulful" or "heartwarming".[1]
This name was made official in the second chapter of KSVK's Neural Upgrade story in April 2020, and the CN and EN story scripts used the artist's names as-is.
However, "душевный" is a masculine word and the correct word for naming a female character is the feminine form "душевная" (dushevnaya). This was quickly corrected in the English script into "Dushevnaya" and "ДушевнAЯ" (adding unnecessary upper case letters at the end).
When DushevnayaDushevnaya was announced for Project Neural Cloud CN, her Chinese name was unchanged and latinized "Dusevnyj" at first. Her latinized name was later corrected to "Dushevnaya". “Dushevnaya” was used from the start in the Global server.
In Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium CN, her Chinese name remains the same, but it is now properly latinized "Dushevnaya" (except in game files where “Dusevnyj” is still used).
Artist Canon
(Note: This section is based on various posts from SG DP-12DP-12DP-12 and RF KSVKKSVKKSVK's illustrator Pandea work and as such should be treated separately from the two characters official in-game representations.)
8 years prior to the current game timeline, KSVK was just a custom made android child (Children's day CG) adopted by a wealthy family and was given the name Dushevnyy. She was a very smart child after receiving the elite level of education provided by the family.
However this family estate was destroyed by a terrorist attack (Children's day damaged CG). Having lost her legal guardians in the attack, she became an orphan. Following the event an elite T-Doll (implied to be DP-12) from the local police department who was responsible for countering the terrorist attack and rescuing the little girl, stepped up and adopted her.
A few years later, out of desire of vengeance she left the doll family and began wandering aimlessly, however an unexplained event happened in which she lost her memory as a result. After being recovered and modified by I.O.P she was given the name KSVK and found a new job with G&K.[1]
Biography
Prior to KSVK getting her Neural Upgrade, she was having a problem with her neural cloud space that keeps bringing up a vague old memory, this was due to KSVK's old original body being heavily damaged (although her neural cloud was intact) when IOP took her in and converted her to a Tactical Doll.
KSVK's original name was Dushevnaya and she was originally a caretaker doll with the physique of a child tasked to take care of an old lady (Lady James) together with Helena (DP-12's original name). Not long after Dushevnaya's and Helena's job was finished, Helena bought Dushevnaya's and her own freedom from the nursing home. This was due to Helena feeling guilty having Dushevnaya felt like she was abandoned by Lady James and she was facing a memory reset from the trauma. She suffered a tremendous psychological blow and kept on singing an old song and practiced her painting over and over again just like when she was together with Lady James. This however resulted in Dushevnaya developing envy towards Helena on how people are dependent on her and so that she wouldn't be cast away again. One day she left Helena a letter while she was at work mentioning that she wants to be a Tactical Doll and ran away on her own. Her actions however resulted in her loss of memory as Dushevnaya.
Helena (now named DP-12) after a long search finally found Dushevnaya (now named KSVK) working for G&K also started working for them while pestering on KSVK trying to bring back her old memory as Dushevnaya revealing that they're actually mother and daughter although this was flat out rejected by KSVK due to the nature of dolls having familial relationship is impossible while calling DP-12 delusional. DP-12 however finally succeeded in bringing back KSVK's old memories when she brought her to the old nursing house which is now in ruins. After KSVK regained her memories she finally got her Neural Upgrade retaining some of her old body's traits like her eyes and hairstyle so that she won't forget her past as Dushevnaya and no longer fear the future as KSVK.[2]
KSVK is one of the Dolls deployed in Belgrade to protect Gilda Ulrich during Isomer.
After leaving Griffin & Kryuger, KSVK joined the VIP Service and Security Assurance Department, Special Personnel Security of an unnamed PMC, under the designation Guard_V23_07865. After overhearing classified information from her boss, her employers started her neural reset and recycling when DP-12 interrupted the process to break her out of the White Zone to hide her in the contamination zone. However, her memory was scrambled, and she couldn't remember DP-12 or her own name. DP-12 changed her affiliation from her current employer to her former one, which helped her remember the Commander, Griffin & Kryuger, the nature of her relationship with DP-12, and that she was infected with a virus causing her to regularly crash and lose memory data, as well as constantly displaying her position.
Both were heavily damaged while running away from their pursuers, and KSVK kept losing consciousness as a result of trying to remember the information that caused the incident until they reached an Underground Broker's base. DP-12 transferred KSVK's ID to herself to mislead the pursuers, and sent KSVK to the contamination zone in a cargo box. After eventually regaining consciousness long enough to leave the vehicle transporting her, KSVK began wandering the contamination zone in search of DP-12, but eventually even forgot her.[3]
KSVK's dilapidated body was found by a bounty hunter team. The daughter of the team's leader, Gloria, took a liking to her, and after KSVK was repaired and reactivated, without any memory, Gloria gave her the name "Beryl", but KSVK rejected it. "Beryl" greatly increased the team's efficiency and life conditions, but expressed her wish to leave and recover her lost memory. Gloria's mother had transferred KSVK's authorizations to her to become her new owner, and didn't let her own any resources so she couldn't be independent, but the transfer had not actually taken effect.
"Beryl" started recovering her memories after seeing a KSVK rifle used by another bounty hunter team, and Gloria begged her mother to buy it for "Beryl". Using her imprinted weapon, "Beryl" easily completed a the capture mission of an escaped Doll, from whom she recovered some information about her past, including her former name: KSVK. On a bid to convince her to stay with the team, KSVK was alloted more reward money, but her mind didn't change, and the team leader started looking for a buyer to get rid of her. To prevent another attempt to change her authorizations, KSVK shot Gloria's mother to inflict a flesh wound, treated her, and left in search of the Commander, who was still registered as KSVK's owner.[4]
After crossing path with a former Doll colleague, KSVK was directed to the Doll community of Ullrid, where two other former Griffin Dolls, Littara and Suomi, could help her. KSVK worked for a bounty hunter to search for the Doll community, but she was damaged and left unconscious after a bad encounter. She was found some time later by Suomi, who recognized her and brought her back to the Doll community to receive basic repairs. Littara and Suomi didn't know her well from their time at Griffin but remembered that DP-12 used to call her Dushevnaya. They also talked about the Commander, whom Duschevnaya remembered fondly. As thanks for helping her remember her name and two people close to her, Dushevnaya agreed to help the Doll community secure their next base camp,[5] securing the Marley Thermal Power Plant by killing Lambertia.

Don't Forget About Mother's Day!
Dear Professor,
Do you know what day it is today? The answer is - it's Mother's Day!
According to Angela, humans celebrate Mother's Day to show gratitude to their mothers. After all, moms have a really hard time raising their kids, so we all need to thank them sincerely!
Angela told Dushevnaya lots of stories about mothers! Many of them have been in circulation for hundreds of years or more - and whether they're about how they risked everything to protect their kids or served as shelter from the storm for their children, they're all shining examples of parental love! Even a Doll who's never experienced human kinship would sympathize with them after hearing those stories. Yup, Dushevnaya's one of them! In my eyes, a "mother" is someone who makes her children her top priority at all times, and who always thinks of them no matter how far apart they are or what separates them!
So, how do you feel about your own mom, Professor? Let me guess...I bet that in her eyes, you're always a kid no matter how old you are, right? And even though she's far far away, the bonds that join you will never be broken! Yeah, I'm sure that's it!
Finally, please don't forget to wish your mom well, Professor! I'm going to listen to more stories from Angela now!
—Dushevnaya
Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium
Mail - Exilium 1 Year Anniversary
Dushevnaya's Anniversary Message
Commander, I hereby extend unto thee my most heartfelt blessings on this anniversary!
Pray, heed me-while patrolling our domain today, that magical cat who oft hides within the evil of obscurity approached and rubbed against me of its own accord! Surely, this is an omen of great fortune to come!
Next time, I shall take you to meet our new feline companion! It shall lend greater splendor to our future undertakings.
Do you remember when you inscribed that fascinating mark upon my star map?
I secretly kept that sheet, nestled it safely within the inner fold of my armor.
Every time I gaze upon it, it feels as though the fateful bond that weaves us together has grown even stronger.
Henceforth, I shall continue chronicling our adventures with my brush! And should you spy me on the deck, tracing gestures toward the heavens... fret not. I am merely rehearsing an incantation-one to bring you joy with every dawn and peace with every dusk!
Dushevnaya
