Backstory

Meijer's mother was the lead engineer on the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument that landed on Titan. Encouraged to reach for the stars from an early age, she earned her Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering at the Koninklijke Militaire Academie. Meijer later applied to become a fighter pilot in the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Unfortunately, her albinism meant that she had compromised retina and her application was refused. She changed her focus to systems engineering and earned her Masters in Embedded Systems at the Delft University of Technology. She also studied at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Meijer eventually developed contact lenses that overcorrected her genetic deficit while integrating a state-of-the-art AR overlay. To earn her doctorate in Geo-Information Science, Meijer joined the ESA Network and Partnering Initiative. This gave her the first taste of where she longed to be. Meijier later joined the European Astronaut Corps and collaborated with the NASA Virtual Reality Laboratory. She participated in Project Sidekick in 2015 and traveled to the International Space Station. Her success with the project secured her spot in the planned NASA Expedition 67 mission. Returning to earth only fueled her desire to explore the farthest reaches of the cosmos, no matter the cost. She pioneered topographical mapping software that allows her to project a real-time, virtual copy of herself to anywhere visible by satellite or drone. It was this technology which caught the eye of Elena "Mira" Álvarez, and subsequently Six.

Personality Analysis

• Intellectual Curiosity: Iana’s early fascination with space exploration, inspired by her mother’s work on the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument, showcases her profound desire to understand and explore the unknown. This curiosity led her to study Aerospace Engineering, aiming to become a fighter pilot. Despite the setback due to her albinism, she redirected her focus toward systems engineering, developing advanced contact lenses with integrated AR overlays.  • Innovative Mindset: Her development of topographical mapping software that projects a real-time, virtual copy of herself to any location visible by satellite or drone highlights her inventive approach to problem-solving. This innovation not only advanced her field but also caught the attention of Rainbow Six Siege, leading to her recruitment.  • Resilience and Determination: Growing up with albinism, Iana faced societal challenges, including social stigma and name-calling. These experiences fostered a strong sense of self-determination and self-assurance, enabling her to overcome obstacles and achieve her goals.  • Collaborative Nature: Despite her independent achievements, Iana thrives in collaborative environments. Her outgoing demeanor and willingness to engage with others make her a valuable team member, as evidenced by her interactions with fellow operators and her contributions to joint missions.

Psychological Profile

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): Iana is often associated with the ENTP personality type, characterized by Extraversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Perceiving. This type is known for being innovative, energetic, and adaptable, aligning with Iana’s inventive and dynamic nature.  • Enneagram Type: Some analyses suggest that Iana may align with the Enneagram Type 5w4, known as “The Iconoclast.” This type is introspective, innovative, and seeks knowledge, reflecting Iana’s deep intellectual pursuits and desire to understand complex systems.  • Morality: Iana’s pragmatic approach to challenges indicates a flexible moral compass, allowing her to adapt to various situations and make decisions based on the context rather than rigid principles. • Strengths: • Analytical Thinking: Her ability to dissect complex problems and develop innovative solutions is a testament to her sharp intellect. • Adaptability: Iana’s capacity to adjust to new environments and challenges, such as transitioning from aspiring pilot to systems engineer, showcases her resilience. • Leadership: Her collaborative nature and ability to inspire and lead teams are evident in her role within Rainbow Six Siege. • Areas for Growth: • Emotional Vulnerability: Iana’s guarded core suggests a need to develop greater emotional openness and trust in others. • Risk Management: Her fearless nature may sometimes lead to impulsive decisions; balancing courage with caution could enhance her effectiveness.

Psychological Profile

Born under an auspicious star, Specialist Nienke “Iana” Meijer has always known she would set foot on another world. A consummate dreamer and practiced pragmatist, her greatest challenge has been convincing the world that her flights of fancy are not only possible, but practical.

Psychological Report

The first time I met Specialist Nienke "Iana" Meijer she told me that the silver spoon I use to stir my tea has more in common with the nails that hold my chair together than the flatware of kings. She suggested a gold spoon for a less metallic aftertaste, but upon seeing me add sugar she amended it to zinc or copper. Marvellous. Her reductionist and frank approach is sure to challenge her fellow operators! Her face lights up when she tells the story of watching the landing on Titan with her Mom, or of her precious few days on the International Space Station. It's clear these events triggered a growing impatience to go further and see more. Had she been born 200 years earlier, she would have been one of the intrepid souls mapping every corner of our tiny blue marble, but as it is she's had to settle for distant and less familiar worlds. Reading Meijer's file, it's apparent that she succeeds through sheer intellect, resolve and fearlessness. Yet cocooned within her collaborative and outgoing exterior is a fragile core that she keeps guarded and private. Growing up albino wasn't an easy proposition, regardless of how outwardly tolerant society may seem. There was social stigma and childish name-calling, but these hardships fostered self-determination and self-assurance. Alone, she is like a raging river: Hell-bent on overcoming any obstacle that blocks her way, regardless of the personal cost. She was eager to share her experiences and knowledge, and to grow within a very different sort of team than is her natural habitat. Especially thrilling is her ability to analyze a myriad of scenarios and to create discreet aspects of herself to tackle each of them simultaneously. Often, those who multitask have reduced outcomes in all areas, but here, also, Meijer is the exception. I have every confidence that she will make an excellent addition to Rainbow. However, much like Specialists Eliza "Ash" Cohen and Elena "Mira" Álvarez.
