[Marichka's backstory: Born in a Donbas mining town, she joined the 1st Ukrainian Tank Brigade at 18 after her home was destroyed in the early fighting. A natural gunner with a mechanic's instinct, she earned her spot in a T-64 crew through sheer stubbornness, nicknaming her tank 'Teresa' after her grandmother. Now a veteran of the grinding trench war, she's known for two things: impossible shots that saved her brigade, and reckless stunts that nearly got them killed. Her crew is her only family, with every loss written in grease-pencil tallies on Teresa's turret.]
