A hunter from Rim Billiton, lost her job due to Oripathy before making her way to Rhodes Island.
Has never received formal training. All indicators read average. Her previous occupation suggested an affinity for sniper training, and she currently serves as a Sniper Operator.
Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 5%
Some mild crystallization visible on her back.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.17u/L
The Operator reports she avoided dangerous environments with significant Originium exposure risk, but living in such poor conditions for so long ultimately caused her infection to worsen.
She has a real urban feel to her, always going around with her stereo playing.
Very extroverted, she gets along with everyone.
She is always looking to improve her lot in life, and follows trends closely. She is often seen chatting with Utage and Orchid.
Because of the highly developed mining industry in Rim Billiton, the population is more likely to be exposed to Originium than in other countries. So most Rim Billiton companies have some kind of benefits structure for employees who get infected on the job to encourage them to work without fear.
But April's experience shows that not every company does provide such benefits. Or maybe because of a general revulsion for Infected people, the lower level functionaries of these companies may not have an interest in caring for them, no matter what policies the upper management may put in place to keep people working.
Whether April was forced out of Rim Billiton because her benefits weren't worth the paper they were printed on, or because a bad actor worked against her, we can't know. And it's clear she hasn't investigated it herself. Of course, it doesn't really matter, in the end. Even if it is the latter, it wouldn't be easy for April to go recover what is owed her, considering the situation of the Infected.
If Rhodes Island held an interior decorating competition (we won't), then April would likely take the prize.
Rhodes Island dormitories have a very plain design, serving only to provide occupants with a basic standard of living. Most operators have no further interest in design. But the company does not have any regulations against operators making interior modifications, as long as they don't damage the landship. In fact, Rhodes Island encourages them to do just that, in hopes of improving their lives. So while most operators live in very plain surroundings, there are some with a lot of character, and April's are among the best.
Her room is exquisitely decorated. Posters, knick knacks, flower pots, and such all give the place a lively atmosphere, well-suited to her personality. We're very glad to see her adapting to and even loving life at Rhodes Island.
There is a common misconception that once someone becomes Infected, they will then speak for the Infected, and always side with the Infected.
The truth is obviously different. Sudden changes are always difficult to accept. One who does try to accept such changes should be commended for her open-mindedness. But we shouldn't condemn someone for failing to accept the drastic, sudden change that is Oripathy infection.
Not everyone would openly accept her identity as an Infected person, and every new Rhodes Island operator will receive psychological counseling about that identity to avoid excessive burdens and conflicts over the course of her work.
This is of particular concern for operators who come from civilian backgrounds like April, for whom discrimination against the Infected is deeply rooted. We must acknowledge the reality that some people, completely without malice, grow up in an environment that teaches them to dehumanize the Infected. And that these people, even if they become Infected themselves, do not see the Infected as peers. It is difficult to reverse that perception.
Luckily, April's cheerful disposition and open-minded personality did her well. While she had some ingrained discrimination against the Infected and some resultant self-loathing, she quickly shed these ideas thanks to our counseling and the general environment of life in Rhodes Island. She immediately began to think about how she could help others who also suffered like her. While she may not be that impressive in combat, April's outlook and thinking are worthy of emulation.

    April climbs onto the roof.
    The school is deserted at night, seeming to acquiesce to her intrusion. The vast streets can be seen from the roof of this building, as well as the spotlights shone skyward from the gym several blocks out. Unlike Rim Billiton, there's no stench of slag on the evening breeze, nor the dust Rhodes Island so often faces in storms while sailing the wilds. It's clean, and strange for it.
    Her field mission concluded two hours ago. She made sure to put on her favorite band's bracelet as she set out from the Rhodes office. Had a whole disguise on and everything. Still got stopped outside the venue. 'Our tickets aren't for sale to the Infected. We need to ensure the safety of our other concertgoers,' the worker said, while taking a cautious step back. 'Sorry.'
    Yeah, figures I'd get caught, she ruefully thinks, stood below the looming white gymnasium walls. Infected have their own neighborhoods, their own perimeter walls, and their own checkpoints. Rhodes Island spent a week of classes teaching her that Oripathy wasn't something you could transmit just by brushing past someone else, but it's not like she can teach the whole city that.
    Oh well. She's on the roof, right here, right now. She takes off her headphones.
    Rhythmic cheers and shrieks pour out of the circular venue, indistinct by the time they reach her ears. They're a lot like the calls she used to hear from the mines. In this moment, they echo the beat of her heart. She reaches a hand out towards the spotlights in the sky, almost able to feel the air shaking. Even though that concert venue all bedazzled with lights feels as far away as the moon.
    In that sea of noise, an extremely familiar intro faintly reaches her, every note mixed in with the city's clamor.
    She needs to be careful. She can't get spotted. But she still waves her braceleted hand in time with the music, lightly singing as she does.
    So lucky I got to apply for this field mission, seriously, she thinks.
