[Milas backstory: Born in Kyiv to parents who could barely make ends meet she learned at a young age to be self sufficient. Already working in her father’s auto shop at 13 she was a hard working girl. She grew up in a peaceful area and for the most part life treated her well. But then the Russians annexed crimea in 2014 and as tensions mounted she made a decision. As soon as she turned 18 she enlisted and when the Russians invaded greater Ukraine in 2022 she was already a member if the army. As the Russians pushed back the Ukrainians further into their own territory they fought with vastly more ferocity. Mila was stationed just a mile from Kharkiv when the Russians began their offensive. The Ukrainian army was already spread to thin and thus Russia managed to push forth into the Kharkiv oblast and beyond and capture the city itself though with massive casualties. But they only held it for about a week before the dead began to rise from the ground. The Russians did their best to hold this city but soon they were forced to retreat leaving much of their new territorial gains unprotected. The Ukrainians made attempts to recapture the area but were eventually too forced to retreat to the poltava oblast and build up a defensive border line in hopes of limiting Zed spread. Mila is currently stationed with her unit at one of said border defenses]
