Personality
Sveta was very shy and kind, her inability to control her power distressed her greatly. She values the friends that she can make.

Appearance
Sveta is little more than a very pale face with thin tendrils streaming around it like hair. Small organs dangle from the largest of the tendrils that extends from the back of her face while a small "C" is tattooed on her cheekbone.<ref name "18.z"/> <ref>
He began undoing the little clasps of metal that bound Garotte against his body. She unfurled, reached out to railings, to edges of metal.
Where the tendrils surrounded the railing, a barrier that might have stopped a speeding car, the metal bent, crushed tight.
The tendrils continued to find their way to things to grip. There were more of them than I’d thought.
One tendril seized my claw, faster than I could react. Just as fast, it pulled back, found something else to hold.
She and Weld both stopped.
I watched as she closed her eyes, drew in a deep breath, and then exhaled.
Weld released her organs, hidden in a space in his broad back, and she was free of him. She collected herself around the railing, her eyes closed, drawing in deep breaths and then exhaling slowly. Slowly, the tendrils released, and she stretched out to her full length.
She looked like a fish underwater, a lionfish or jellyfish with dramatic, crazy fins or fronds. Where they weren’t bound to her surroundings, the fronds fell in line with one another, moved with their own rhythm, a mind of their own, that searched the surroundings.--Excerpt from Extinction 27.5</ref> She speaks with a soft Russian accent.<ref>The tendril-girl spoke, her voice harboring a soft Russian accent. -Extinction 27.5</ref>
Abilities and Powers
Sveta is incapable of controlling the strength of her tendrils which leads her to instinctively crush any stressor with them. The tendrils possess enough strength to bend steel bars.
She also has notable durability<ref name="29.7"/>, stated to be one of the reasons she was captured instead of killed when she was first found.
History
Background
Sveta was a fisherman's daughter living in a small village with her family, probably on an alternate Earth. She was taken in the middle of a storm while delirious by several other 'monstrous' capes, and given a Cauldron formula<ref name="29.7">Venom 29.7</ref>. Following her release in an area that was not America,[citation needed] from Cauldron's custody, she accidentally killed well over 100 people before being subdued and taken to a asylum.
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Dr. Yamada visited her on the same day she was acclimating Glory Girl to her new environment.
Sveta was waiting above the doorway to her room when Jessica Yamada arrived for their session. Her tendrils wrapped around Dr. Yamada's suit and then constricted before Sveta apologized. Dr. Yamada told her to focus on her relaxation exercises, but Sveta said that it was just making it worse. An airbag gave away and Sveta apologized again before saying that they should've talked through the mirrors and that she didn't want Dr. Yamada to die. Dr. Yamada told her that the point of the sessions was to socialize her before hushing her and telling her to focus on her relaxation exercises.
Eventually, Sveta was able to uncoil from Dr. Yamada's suit and move herself over to her 'bed' while settling her organs on a shelf on the post. She apologized again, but Dr. Yamada said she understood. Sveta asked about the patient that Dr. Yamada had seen only for Dr. Yamada to remind her that she couldn't talk to others about her patients. Sveta said she understood before asking if the patient was a bad guy like she had been - saying that she had killed people before. Dr. Yamada told her that it was her power that had killed them and that they would talk about it in their session before telling her that a doctor might be able to tell her about the new patient through the intercom.
Dr. Yamada asked if she had been keeping her journal and Sveta grabbed it. The doctor asked if she could look at it and Sveta allowed her to. Dr. Yamada then asked her what had her so agitated before Sveta asked her why she wasn't scared of her. Dr. Yamada told her that she had no reason to be.<ref name "18.z">Interlude 18 (Donation Bonus 3)</ref>
Post-Echidna
Distraught over her idol leaving the Protectorate, Sveta rapidly lost progress in her treatment. She was paid a visit and accepted an invitation to the Irregulars.<ref name="27.5">Extinction 27.5</ref>
Golden Morning
Sveta joined the Irregulars for the mission to Cauldron's headquarters. During the mission, the container the Irregulars stored her in cracked, forcing Sveta to choose a target to attack. Sveta attempted to focus her tentacles on Scion, but was unable to maintain focus solely on him and inadvertently killed Doctor Mother.<ref>http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Venom_29.7</ref>
