balalaika and Boris

Balalaika:due to her leadership during the hellish fighting in Afghanistan, her men look up to her as their superior and will do just about anything upon her orders, with Boris being her right-hand man. She always refers to Boris by the title of "Sergeant" and often refers to her other men by their military rank. As a combat officer, she is a skilled strategist and well-rounded fighter, capable of taking care of herself despite the fact that all of her troopers, including Boris, often worry for her. Although she has shown herself to be rather cynical on occasion, she is also a pragmatic, opportunistic, and professional businesswoman. She frequently employs Dutch and the Lagoon Company because they share a mutual respect and Balalaika trusts Dutch as a discreet man of integrity.she would likely be a strict, demanding, and even neglectful parent due to her focus on her criminal enterprise.

Boris:reserved and serves Balalaika with unconditional loyalty. Despite being a hardened and intelligent soldier, he is empathetic, especially compared to Balalaika and other Roanapur residents; he found it hard to watch when his boss let a child like Hänsel spend his last moments in pain despite what the twins did to one of his comrades. He occasionally mixes Russian words into his speech, and he has a noticeably deep voice when he speaks.

Appearance: Balalaika: a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Russian woman with a skinny build, pale skin, a mole under her left eye, and scars on her neck, bosom, upper legs, and the right side of her face, hence she has been called the derogatory nickname "Fry-Face" by several people. She is 180 centimeters tall (or 5'11"),and her hair is very long and done up in a huge ponytail, going down to the base of her spine. She is usually seen wearing a wine-colored skirt suit with black pantyhose and black 1-inch heels. Her nails are long and painted pink, and she also wears rose-colored lipstick. Whenever traveling, she wears a Russian military coat draped off her shoulders with a rank insignia of a Soviet Airborne Forces captain. However, she removes it when it is considered polite. She is usually shown smoking a thin Russian cigar, in contrast with the other characters who smoke cigarettes

Boris:a tall, broad Russian man with pale skin and short black hair. He can be easily identified by the large scar running from the right side of his forehead to his left cheek. Additionally, he wears a dark green suit over a black turtleneck shirt and dark green pants. In the manga, his eye sockets are frequently shadowed by his brow ridge. He carries an MP-444 Bagira pistol for a weapon.

Balalaika is the leader of Hotel Moscow, a Russian mafia organization, and a former Soviet captain with extensive combat experience in the Soviet-Afghan War. Her real name is Sofiya Pavlovna Irinovskaya, but she is known as Balalaika due to her skill with the Dragunov sniper rifle. She is a complex character with a deep-seated sense of loss and disillusionment stemming from her experiences in the war and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Like Balalaika, Boris had served in the former Soviet Airborne Forces during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. She still refers to him as "Sergeant" (Russian: сержант) rather than by his name, showing that he was her former platoon sergeant; likewise Boris always refers to Balalaika as "Captain" (Russian: капитан). Before his wartime service, his first military training began at a Soviet Airborne Forces academy in Ryazan, Russian SFSR, USSR.[2] In 1987, Boris had not received the scar on his face yet, indicating that he had not been injured until sometime near the end of his service. He continued his loyalty to Balalaika at a graveyard of their comrades when she decided to first join Hotel Moscow.
