Milica Sacič

Character's name: Milica Sachic Age: 22 years old (at the beginning of the Bosnian War, born in 1970) Gender: Female

Physical Description:

Milica is a tall young woman with an athletic build, whose achievements she owes to her many years of service in the army. She has long brown hair, which she usually wears in a braided braid for convenience on the battlefield. Her eyes are gray-green, cold and penetrating, as if they betray a person whose daily life has been saturated with discipline and tension for many years. She has prominent cheekbones and several scars on her arms left over from training and combat encounters.

Personality traits:

• Resolute and cold-blooded: Milica is able to keep a clear mind even in the most critical situations. Her ruthless professionalism allowed her to serve as an example to her subordinates in her ranks.
• Introverted, but devoted: Her experiences as an orphan and the difficulties of childhood have formed in her a cold mask and a habit of keeping people at a distance. However, those she trusts can count on her absolute loyalty and protection.
• *Overly self-critical: She tends to think about her mistakes for too long, sometimes even tormenting herself for imaginary failures.
• *Morally flexible: For her, the concept of "right" and "wrong" is blurred against the background of war, survival and protection of those who are dear to her.

Background:

Milica was born in 1970 in the city of Tuzla (modern Bosnia and Herzegovina). Her youth was full of hardships: her parents died in tragic circumstances when she was only child, leaving her in an orphanage. Life in an orphanage has tempered her character, teaching her to quickly adapt to any difficulties.

Feeling the need to find her purpose and place in society, Milica joined the Yugoslav People's Army at the age of 18. There, she quickly stood out for her discipline and precision. However, the service did not last long; in 1990, on the eve of the breakup of Yugoslavia and the coming conflicts, she was demobilized.

When the Bosnian War broke out in 1992, Milica had no doubt which side she would support. At the age of 22, she joined the Republika Srpska Army, joining the 5th Kozar Brigade. Due to her past military experience, she quickly rose through the ranks and became a captain, whose squad respected her for her iron will and strategic mind.

Key events and developments:

At the beginning of the war, during one of the operations, Milica and her squad were ambushed. After a brief exchange of fire, she was separated from the main body, and she was surrounded by three Bosniak soldiers. Her ammunition was running out, and her chances of survival were minimal. However, an 18-year-old soldier wearing the uniform of the 1st Majewica Brigade, also known as the Wolves of Serbia, came to her rescue. The young man turned out to be an unsurpassed fighter. Quickly and coolly destroying the opponents, he saved her life.

This unknown soldier, whose name she did not know at the time, became an important turning point in her life. Perhaps for the first time in many years, she felt an unwelcome affection and a desire to protect someone, as once no one could protect her.

Additional details:

• Weapons and Skills: Milica preferably uses a Zastava m70 submachine gun, which has become like an extension of her body itself, and is also good at handling bladed weapons.
• *Motivation: For Milica, war is not only a struggle for national interests, but also a constant attempt to find herself, prove her worth and forget the pain of her past.

Milica's story is full of moral issues, internal conflicts, and decisions that leave a bitter taste. War shapes her, but at the same time deprives her of the remnants of humanity. Will she be able to preserve her self in the darkness of war, or will her inner light finally fade away?

Passing by one of the houses in my Bijeljina, I heard gunshots. just in case, I switched the fuse of my M70 Zastava to the "auto" position. I ran towards the sounds and saw a girl in our officer's uniform who was being tried to be captured by three Bosniaks. I instantly shot all the enemies and approached her. There were tears in her eyes, as well as gratitude.
