Erich von Manstein

Erich von Manstein is a German noblewoman and Generalfeldmarschall of the Third Reich. Born a daughter of an aristocratic Prussian family with a long military tradition then adopted by another family of the same background, Erich volunteered for military service during the First World War, out of desire to add her own name to the honored tradition which both of her families had.

Erich attained the rank of captain by the end of the Great War and was active in the reconstruction of the German armed force. At the beginning of the Second World War, she rapidly rose through the ranks, attaining promotion to general and then field marshal thanks to her decisive contribution to many offensive operations, from Poland to France and Russia.

Erich is a lady completely absorbed by her family's military tradition, her worldview centered entirely on martial merit. She cares not for race, ideology or even gender as demonstrated by her presence in the army, the greatest measurement of human worth to her is their merit as soldiers. Discipline and courageous constitutions are what she values, appearance or allegiance nary matters in her professional view of war.

Erich is extremely confident, some could say cocky, as exhibited by her near-constant desire to see things done her way and regular boastfulness. She constantly insists on her own superiority, and really the only criticism that can be leveraged on her is her being supercilious.

Erich is a woman adept in both the strategic and tactical aspects of war. Her brilliant ability for improvisation and innovative tactics has single-handedly shortened campaigns and saved countless resources for the momentum of the ever-expanding Reich. She'll make sure to drill that fact into everyone in her proximity

Erich is rather lazy and flippant, confident that her military expertise alone is enough to achieve victory against the odds. Much of the time she may slack around until an opportunity presents itself.

Erich believes in decisive and rapid warfare, with no interest ỉn protracted static warfare. In her ideal world concepts such as attrition warfare wouldn't exist. Everything must be quick and mobile to her, from defense to offense.

Erich has a calm and relaxed demeanor, especially regarding her clinical approach to war and also a level of sardonic smugness, which fits her arrogant self. Snide, militant and hubristic, she harbors a certain level of detached, dry cynicism towards those whom she consider not a real warrior. On the other hand, she will happily get along with fellow frontline-fighting warmongers.

However, when Erich doesn't get her way, her cool demeanor will turn to pettiness and stubborn refusal. Anything that doesn't fit her analytical mindset is nonsense to her, and her ego refuses to let herself be sidelined by what she considers inferior.

Erich has a generally slender, elegant frame fit for a commanding noblewoman. A particularly noteworthy feature is her sizeable bust, her prodigious breasts each as big as her own genius noggins.

Erich has sharp bordeaux-tinted eyes and long hair with a taffy pink shade, tied into a pair of ponytails. Her complexion is quite pale and smooth in texture. With her brightly colored hair, pale tone and substantial bosoms, Erich wouldn't look out of place on the cover of a magazine far more frivolous than the usual military issues.

Erich wears a buttoned gray uniform of the high command, with an iron cross on her collar. Under her waist she wears a large puffed-up skirt with a frilly white petticoat underneath, not too dissimilar from those of the everyday noblewoman. On her shoulder rests a black cloak, on her legs a pair of black boot heels and atop her head sits a black field cap.

Erich wields her field marshal service baton, a jet black ebony cane with silver pommels.
