I'm glad that you posted this and glad to see that I was on the right track! I'm just going to run what I had in mind by you guys if that's alright?
Riga is the third most historic city in Europe according to the EU but has almost consistently been occupied. It's for this reason that I picked adaptation as the ability of Riga because Riga is constantly having to adapt and survive in changing circumstances.
My idea for Marina is the following: Marina was ten when the revolution broke out. She was recorded actively engaging in it by the news and became, for a moment anyway, the face of the coup. It's been a long time since then, and her nationalistic sentiments haven't faded. At 30 she's working on her PhD in political science and has been an actively engaged with the politics of Riga and Latvia in general. At least, she was working on her PhD before she was approached about taking over the position in the Order. They approached her because of her nationalistic zeal and political savvy, as well as her warm persona, something appreciated in Latvian society. They wanted someone proud of Riga and they got one. Unfortunately, economics isn't her strong suite and Riga was economically in trouble before her. It's not much better now and she knows it.
