Standing five foot-eleven, with a strong, athletic frame, Kerttu can be somewhat imposing. She has dark, chocolate brown hair that is kept shoulder length, a dark tan of complexion, coming from her Sami and Mexican ancestry.
Brief Background: Her mother was a wealthy Finnish business woman, who met her to-be-husband while on vacation in Southern California. Kerttu was born just fours years before the skies gave way to alien horrors that sought the eradication of the human race. She was the youngest of four, with an eldest brother, and two sisters. They were visiting their Kerttu's great-grandmother in Finland when the skies darkened and turned red with fire.
Her family escaped the devastation for several years, but it caught up to the Crightons when Kerttu was ten. As they were trying to evacuate, the defensive line was breached. With swarmers rushing in, many of the remaining men, including her father and her brother, took up arms to slow the swarm, allowing the women and children to escape. Her eldest sister cursed, and swore she would join the military, learn how to fight the monsters that had killed their father and brother. However the girl's mother refused, she was already far along in her studies to become a biological analyst, her mind and skills were needed elsewhere. Kerttu, agreed, she had always been more adept at athletics than her two sisters, and she wouldn't be wasting years of education when those fields needed more people. Even still, her mother tried to talk her out of the idea, but Kerttu insisted.
She began her training as early as she could, driven by self-discipline and desire to start reclaiming Earth for all of humanity. Her fierceness in sparring and training were noted, and she was offered a challenge: To become a pilot for the mech units. She found her calling in the Artemis, its lightness, maneuverability, speed, and firepower, all fitting together well with her aggressive nature. In her early years, she sometimes got a bit too aggressive, one such occasion resulted in her cockpit being impaled; the end result was the loss of her left arm, which has been replaced by a prosthetic.
