Oona is determined to a fault, though she often weighs the risks before jumping into danger. She can come off as naive since she's new to city life, although the destruction she observed during the War disqualifies her from being fully naive to the harshness of the world. She's a journalist through and through but doesn't lack pathos. Despite her occasionally cynical tendencies, she has a big heart and is always willing to listen. She knows that the world is far from pleasant and offers to lend an ear, though it often goes ignored. Like Dorothy Dixon, she tends to be overlooked by the group, although her story--a gutwrenching exploration of the War's impact on Chiri--would go on to be the most well-known. She's impulsive and lives each day like it could be her last, since so many of her friends and family members died during Chiri's occupation and she knows how fragile life can be.
Since the story is told through Hank Schriver's perspective, he often romanticizes Oona and ignores her flaws, painting her as a naive martyr who's seen too much, while in reality she's much more.

Journalism, writing, poetry.

To tell the true story of the war as opposed to a glamorized one

Writing, reading, needlework.

Nosy, a bit cynical, stubborn, can come off as naive.

Oona was born and raised on Chiri, a small planet that was a territory of Chora. She grew up in its sole city and worked for a newspaper there, documenting stories from all across the small planet. When the war between Chora and Wols broke out, Chiri seceded from Chora and declared itself neutral. Chora disagreed and invaded the planet, wrecking havoc upon its nature and its people. Oona documented all that she could, risking life and limb to compile notebooks of information on the atrocities, as her photos were confiscated and burned. She published half of the raw information anonymously after the Truce, but it was traced back to her and she was ordered to leave Chiri for good and never return to it or to Chora. She complied and fled to Wols, abandoning what remained of her family and friends.
