[b][color=008000]Personal Style:[/color][/b] As comfortable as possible, and what many would consider 'rustic' and 'rural' when she isn't in uniform.

[b][color=008000]Dislikes:[/color][/b] Authority and the upper classes AKA those that look down at her, nosey individuals and gossips, cities and enclosed spaces.

[b][color=008000]History:[/color][/b] Anja was born the eldest daughter of an immigrant Tallian veteran and his Rhaetian bride, followed not long after by two younger sisters, her father Yeromeyev Yumashevovich swiftly shedding his own name in favour of a more native one and settling on his wife's family name of Welser. Since she was old enough to hold a scythe or a hoe Anja has worked her fathers farmland just outside of Vorteham, a small hamlet with a close-knit community and a place where the taverns are never fully empty, she out of all her siblings taking most after her father in attitude and temperament... if not her fathers love. She grew up more-or-less fearless, enjoying wrestling (among other things) with the local boys, priding herself on her endurance and strength while still taking part in more feminine pursuits with her mother – a woman far wiser and in touch with reality than her father ever has been! When plans for a Republic were announced, and a mad rush for all volunteers sent out across the territory, Anja leapt at the chance, bored of her current state of affairs and keen for adventure; although not a keen rider, and very rural in her style at that, she was capable of riding a horse and saw no reason not to enter the life of a soldier. Her father was very much against it, both due to her gender and out of fear for her life, their parting full of stinging words and bitter goodbyes. Nevertheless she took only what she needed to reach the mustering point, and joined a trail of the hamlets young men as they together rode to war. Oh how she thought she was prepared, her father had told enough stories after all, but how wrong she was.
