Karlsland's top Night Witch (Nachthexe).

By the end of 1944, she was nearing a shot-down count of 100, all of which were scored in air combat at night. Together with a magic Radar Antenna, a tell-tale feature of a Night Witch, she has a special night vision ability which allows her to see clearly through the darkness by starlight. As a child, she had trouble controlling this night vision ability, and thus went through much of her life indoors in dimly lit conditions.

At the age of 10, she was admitted into a witch training program, and as she learned to control her powers, her talent as a Night Witch blossomed. Soon, her night vision ability would no longer spontaneously activate; however, the visual neurons which had already been damaged could not be healed even with magic, so she usually wears glasses with a strong prescription.

As if in response to her lonely childhood, she has a strong desire to make friends with others her age (which is surprising, especially in a Night Witch). She seems to have struck up a friendship with Sanya V. Litvyak, and the two regularly contact each other while on night patrol.
