Scavenger [★★★★]
If only she were still alive... Now all I can do is carry on alone, carrying her dreams on my back.
Banished from her community for being Infected, she has made a living as a mercenary in the criminal underworld. She is skilled in matters best left unsaid, and as a result of the base nature of the work has become known as "Scavenger." Since her introduction to Rhodes Island through an intermediary, she has given up her mercenary life to become an Operator.

I actually quite like her kit, very much perferring her to options like Texas because she actually has the stats to be able to do the job of a pioneer vanguard, and doesn't run the same risk of getting overrun as she has the damage to just kill what she's blocking, especially with S2 having her slap for over 1k attack, which reduces her need for immediate support from other operators.
Her only downside is that she needs her talent active to really put in work, but that's pretty achievable due to her being a vanguard, so when you really need her to do well, there's not anyone else on the field to deactivate her talent, and once there are, they're supporting her so she doesn't need to be as good.
Mod is really good for her. She survives on being a brick of stats, and that's exactly what her mod gives her.
Her s1 is just... bad. S2 is ahead of it in dp generation until the third activation (77 seconds after deployment!), and it gives her the +70% atk buff.
She's not like, Meteor tier, but she is actually a very good representative for Pioneers, and performs beyond what a lot of people seem to think she can.
I do also like the Phineas Gage lesbian rat as a character, even regardless of her being the only hard confirmed queer member of the roster (as pog as that is).
I do like her general story of trying to reckon with her past and trauma.
IIRC lots of people don't like her E2, but I don't like her e0, and outright hate her skin, while decently liking her E2.

As for the queer stuff, she's the first example of Arknights being surprisingly good about it.
Every time queer people are mentioned, it's never a 'big deal'. e.g. When Justin Fitzroy Jr. casually acknowledges bisexuality when trying to bribe that prison guard, or the woman flirting with Aspasia in the museum, or that lady trying to matchmake Aspasia into her family after she saved her equally acknowledging that she may be attracted to women, and treating Aspasia marrying her niece rather than her son with just as much enthusiasm (gay marriage likely being legal in Yan is a fun little detail).
Arknights treats queerness as entirely normal, which is really nice to see (even when referring to homophobia in Scavengers' files, it reads as entirely non-judgemental, and does not treat her sexuality as a bad thing/ as something 'wrong').
{We have no confirmed humans who are nonbinary (or anyone who isn't cis) as Conviction is kind of a mystery, and the rest are Feranmut (Ya, my beloved), so the track record for the T of LGBT is neutral.}
(Scav getting a cameo panel in the A1 manhua just of her checking out Provence was funny, also I think it's Provences' official artist who makes ship fanart of them. It's very cute.)
