There are currently nine unique characters in the in game shop.

Ginny is one of them. One of the first female soldiers introduced to the original (asian) version of the game (second one after Lei). However... She is the first female rifle man based character that was introduced back then.

Her full name is Regina Gadea Acosta.
Ginny "works in the Intelligence department but is known for excellence in Naval Infiltration and special operations "because of which she wears a wetsuit.

While other characters (besides the ones based on historic characters) might have gotten more depth behind the simple in game description as well. I didn't found anything big unlike with Ginny yet.

Important Note:
The lore to Ginny wasn't available on any english websites, wikis or other kind of source. These were translated from korean, chinese and or japanese using a translator program.
Therefore I had to restructure most of the sentences so it would be more coherent.

There might be more lore in relation to her out there, but one of the sites wasn't available and I do not speak korean nor japanese nor do I have the knowledge if it is possible to restores these old webpages. Therefore this has to suffice.

The material was taken from a transcript of an interview with an Art Designer and a Game Designer working at A.V.A. at that time as well as notes that contained her background story.

Other sources are mentioned at the end.

She was born as the youngest of three daughters between her father, a middle manager office worker at a multinational oil company, and her mother, a full-time housewife.
At 3 months of age, she and her family moved to England due to her father's career.
Growing up in London, Ginny acquired the British nationality due to her family's naturalization to England.

Although not a particuarly outstanding student, Ginny was still quite intelligent.
She had a normal and stable adolescence, went on to college, majored in broadcasting and journalism and in general went through a good childhood and adolescence.
Meanwhile, while continuing to decide about her future, Ginny applied for the public recruitment of the employee of SIS (Secret Intelligence Service, Ministry of Information Bureau, aka [MI6]), which she accidentally discovered. To her own and her surroundings surprise, Ginny passed it without much effort .In SIS, she showed a talent she had not even realized herself at that point.

The ability in analyzing information and performing special missions, and after being recognized for this, she immediately began to participate in special operations abroad with the approval of the handling of first-class secrets.
After participating in several secret military operations in Iraq and Southeast Asia, she gained quite a sense for special military operations and applied for dispatch missions for joint operations with SBS (Special Boat Service, British Navy Special Forces).
As the only woman, she passed SBS's selection training and achieved a feat of being recognized as a formal operation agent.
From this point on, she began to engage in special operations with limited exposure to the outside world. Although she is not tall, she has a strong body and is good at underwater infiltration, and she is recognized by other colleagues for her expertise and overall operational performance.

As of the current state (or 2008 for the previous iteration), she is dispatched to the 7th platoon of the Dutch Marine Corps Special Team under the direct control of the European EU Command, and is devoted to the anti-NRF special operations across Europe.


She is also an active part in helping and training newcomers as well evaluating their information and performance.

Currently, she lives independently from her family and lives with a female nursing officer she met at a military hospital hospitalized for injuries during a past (2006 for the previous iteration) operation.

Interesting to know/Fun Fact:
It is possible that Ginny is either homosexual or bisexual, since she lives together with another female officer. Although it isn't explicitly stated/confirmed, this would make Ginny to the first as well as only character that wouldn't be heterosexual. However since it isn't officially stated, the exact details of this relationship remain unclear.

Initial design idea
This contains the transcript of the interview with the Art and the Game Designer. Translated to english and with slight changes to be more coherent. (... are comments and not part of the original transcript)

GMN: What kind of concept is this character?

Art Designer: Ginny is a poised young special agent armed with clothing and weapons for naval infiltration operations.
It was designed with the concept of a beautiful person with an intelligent brain in any environment and an appearance that is second to none.

GMN: This is the second female character after Ray (meaning Lei), what changes did you make?
Game Designer: It was developed from the perspective of how to blend female characters into the battlefield, usually reserved for males.
Using the attractiveness to the outside and not destroying the game balance is our top priority.
In the areas where the two conditions collide, I've worked on balance with more weight.
Compared to Ray, the basic skeleton has been enlarged and the missing parts have been supplemented with the addition of armor.

GMN: Are there additional credits and benefits? (this is related to economical benefits that skins gave at at that time)

Game Designer: Aside from looks, the overall balance in the game is the same as the base character.
As with the released characters, special perks were given like lucky strikes and experience points.

GMN: What would you say to users?

Art Designer: Operatively, she wears an outfit that reveals her voluptuous body, so when fighting an enemy
It causes strong excitement in the frontal lobe of the enemy's brain, which makes it difficult to shoot and makes the legs tremble.
It will make you kneel in front of her. (he/she is being over dramatic, just in case you took that serious)
Game Designer: There was trial and error, but we're always working to make better character updates by collecting different opinions.

Ginny was introduced back then as the second female character in the game, with being purposefully an eye catch. Ginny shares her voice with every other female character. However it is most likely hers, as the english voice shares voice lines (her moaning and moans of pain) with the unique japanese one.
In the beginning of her appearance on the battlefield Ginny was like every female soldier differently balanced then the male soldiers. These tweaks were to armor and speed with Ginny being faster but more vulnerable reflecting her appearance and giving some realism and risk to the situation she found herself in. There were also special effects like increased damage to the back of the enemy, although Ginny was one of the exceptions, having no special effect to prevent her from being overpowered. Probably due to streamlining and balancing all characters these specific traits were removed as well as no female base characters being available and therefore technically hiding a different kind playstyle or at least character attribute (and gender) behind a paywall.
Therefore when Ginny arrived in the european and north american servers, she was already adjusted with these tweaks in mind.

Ginny didn't receive any changes after this besides the introduction of new skins and a visual overhaul when the game graphics were updated. This last change also had a minor side effect, since before Ginny's eye colour (blue) was difficult to see and often looked dark. This graphic update fixed the issue, argueably providing a small buff to Ginny's look.

Look and Equipment
Ginny is a big breasted woman with a slim figure and middle long black hair, that is mostly covered by the hood of her wetsuit. Depending on the wetsuit (skin) Ginny's appearance may change by her wearing make-up or a Henna Tattoo on her left chest.
She wears a special wetsuit which is designed for her operations and for combat use.
In addition it has been modified by her to have small bags mounted on her waist and legs to carry additional equipment and ammunition, since she can't wear a backpack, because of her Buoyancy compensator, oxygen tank and compressed air bottle. Besides that she has an electronic device mounted at the back of her belt.

On her left arm she wears a small but not insignificant gadget. Her dive computer, which assists her on and off shore. On her shoulder she carries her respiratory equipment.
Mounted on her hood she wears nightvision goggles and at her shoulders and knees are additional armor plates mounted to offer some protection.
Her boots are a compromise between military and diving boots. Offering less protection and grip onshore for more flexibility and comfort offshore.

Last but not least for her weapons of choice are a diving knife mounted close to her right foot at the end of her shin (mostly for utility) and a FN 57 which is holstered and the holster being mounted at her right thigh.
The only exception to this personal rule is her Summer skin, which has it mounted on her left thigh.

Depending on the skin the design and/or material of her wetsuit can change immensly.

Interesting to know/Fun Fact:
The electronic device on the back of her belt is activated and has different colors depending on the faction. You can even see it displaying some sort of data, what exactly is hard to see.

Depending on what faction Ginny is fighting for the colors of the displayed numbers and texts change. It goes to show the level of detail and effort that was put into her equipment.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

"The image of a typical South American beauty with blue eyes and a captivating look is strongly underlined, but the character behind these looks is as emotionally rich, sensitive and kind hearted, while often, when first met seeming like she is reserved or withdrawn from the ongoings of the world around her, which is in stark contrast to her look.
She would even get out of her way to help her comrades putting herself at risk."

Ginny is a natural talent in terms of infiltrating the infrastructure of an enemy and gathering intelligence, as well as the general handling and interpretation of data. Her gun handling is not mentioned, but should be good enough to get the job done.

Her skills quickly made her to a renown soldier and later officer.

Interesting to know/Fun Fact:
Ginny's Leopard Wetsuit has the most value in terms of camouflage as it can provide some sort of obstruction, in certain scenarios.
However due to the close range nature of the game and Ginny's body shape it mostly serves the opposite of underlining her captivation, especially since Ginny wears the most make-up with it in comparison.
Besides that it is the uniform variation (together with the Valentine skin) with the least changes compared to its default look as only the wetsuit pattern has changed and nothing of the basekit in terms of equipment or any other sort of modification to her suit.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The previous iteration of the game gave Ginny an ample choice of skins to choose from.
These skins were (excluding her default look): Ginny Leopard, Ginny X-mas, Summer Ginny, Ginny Valentine (or Snow Bunny), Ginny-o-Halloween and Ginny the Sci-Fi.

Note: These images were (mostly) made in the previous iteration, so don't be confused by the different UI.















For the last skin of her(Valentine) wasn't same kind footage available as for the previous. In the future it will be replaced with the same type of images as soon as access to this skin is available to the public.











Interesting to know/Fun Fact:
Ginny wears red lipstick when she is using her Leopard, Sci-Fi, Xmas and the NRF-Halloween skin, with the Leopard one being especially bright and the Sci-Fi being dark.

The Xmas-Skin has a dedicated description that offers background information to why she is wearing this design,
Quote: Issued to cheer up battle-weary soldiers. [...]
She was shy at first, but now she seems to be okay with it.

On the other side when wearing her pink Valentine's Day wetsuit she wears a light pink lipgloss.
The Valentine's Day wetsuit has a semilar description, in which the impracticality is acknowledged but is justified by it raising the spririt of the squad.

Additionally Ginny the Sci-Fi is an Hommage to Andrew Meissner.
Quote: "In commemoration of the announcement of the “Sci-FI” design series by the century craftsman Andrew Meissner,
A figure of a female Special Forces member wearing a companion costume for an event planned by the designer himself."

Ginny doesn't have her night vision goggles anymore when wearing the Halloween wetsuit, since the hat is taking its place.

Note: These images are in relation to the old version (A.V.A. Alliance of Valiant Arms) and are shown here for the purpose of information, accessibility and archiving.
However with A.V.A. Global being at an early stage of development, it is likely that Trading Cards will return, maybe even in the same style to keep up with continuity.

Interesting to know/Fun Fact:
Every other Character is either seen in an animation or has a serious look. Ginny is the only exception, having a more curious or fixated look on her face. Either it's supposed to allude her eagerness to find information and her open nature or it is meant to underline her visual appeal to give her a more innocent or intriguing look.
