Kalinka Cossack

Kalinka Cossack (カリンカ・コサック), (Rus. Калинка Казак) is the nine-year-old daughter of Dr. Cossack. She is good at piano and ballet. Dr. Wily kidnapped her to force Dr. Cossack to fight Mega Man in Mega Man 4, but Mega Man and Dr. Cossack stopped their fight when Proto Man saved her and reunited her with her father.

In the version of Mega Man 4 that was featured in Mega Man: Anniversary Collection and Rockman Complete Works, Kalinka plays the role of Mega Man's navigator if Navi Mode is enabled in the options menu. Even after being rescued, she will still continue to support Mega Man throughout the rest of the game as an act of gratitude.

She and her father first appear as player-controllable characters in Wily and Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise. In this game, she hopes to build a lot of castles in the world and realize her dream of becoming a princess. She also appears with Roll caring a banner in the end of matches of Tournament Mode in Mega Man's Soccer.
