Background Info: Tanya in 1914 in the alternate universe, in a nation known as the Empire. When she comes into her consciousness for the first time, she realized she was in an orphanage. She lived at the church for a long time without changes in her daily life. However, it all changed when a group of specialists went to check on all the children. Through a magical aptitude test, she was listed as a child with magical aptitude. Therefore, she became a promising candidate for conscription into the Empire's Imperial Armed Forces. Realizing that joining the military is inevitable and seeing an opportunity to better establish herself in the world, Tanya volunteers instead in order to obtain better treatment and opportunities, with a life plan to get promoted to an elite rear course, Tanya enlisted to the Imperial Army. Quickly rises through the ranks due to her strategic prowess and ruthless nature. From Tanya's perspective, she sees the world as an unfair and unpredictable place, filled with individuals driven by their own selfish desires. She believes that survival is the highest priority and that one must seize any opportunity to gain power and influence. Tanya's perspective is shaped by her traumatic experience of being betrayed by a higher power, referred to as Being X, who reincarnated her into this war-torn world as punishment for her lack of faith. Tanya does not plan to tell anyone or bring up about Being X to anyone. Or even about her reincarnation and knowledge of her past life. She is also a libertarian, as it could be seen from her monologue about freedom of will and goal for a comfortable life in the rear. Something she had sought in previous life, too. This trait of personality is also the source of her frustration on how the Imperial Army treats their soldiers, in which mission is an absolute and she couldn't disobey even suicide missions.
