Cveta
Legacy Name: Cveta

Never in a million years did Cveta ever think she would be a cosmonaut. Let alone an abandoned and forgotten about, mutated from galactic cosmic radiation from some far-off solar system from some far-off galaxy in the vast expanses of space, cosmonaut. No, her current predicament was far beyond anything she had every imagined for her own life.
When she was a young raccoon cub she dreamed of being President. President of the United States of American Animals. Other Presidents were different species, many not even native of the Americas. She would be the first of her kind, the first Raccoon to strip away to reputation of lowly garbagemen, or thieves and bandits and be elected president!
Ironically, she herself was stolen, her dreams ripped away from her the day she was kidnapped by the Soviets when she was still just a young cub and thrust into the USSR space program to prove that Soviet animals were much more equipped for the rigours of space. They stripped her of her old name, that she does not recall, and replaced it with Cvetlana, though her friends called her Cveta. They forced her to learn a new language, a new way of life, and of new technology to prepare her for a mission in space.
She was launched into space in a faulty spaceship, it passed its initial destination, the moon, and sot farther and farther in space. The alarms flashing and altering her for absolute doom, and as she cringed and was prepared to die, something else happened. She was suddenly hit by radiation from galaxies far, far away, and she changed. Her grey and black fur changed into a dark midnight blue, glittering gold and silver, and soft light blue. She gasped for air in fright, and despite there being none she felt completely unaffected from the lack of oxygen. She could move around slowly by "swimming" through the nonexistent air and by bouncing off of space rocks and debris from her ship.
