Personal:
Born to a family of cheese-makers. Nienke had a fairly normal youth, much like other kids that age. Decent grades, good friends. All days seemed to go by just fine, unaware of the looming Neuroi threat. She loved her family and so did they love her. Especially important to her was her sister, she admired her sister ever so. Laura, as she was called, was a witch in the Royal Netherland Airforce. Nienke aspired to be just like her sister, were it not for lack of magic power. Nonetheless, days passed by until a single day rocked over her world.

During a Neuroi raid on her city she miraculously survived a stray shot on the school she was attending at the time. For unknown reasons, she somehow managed to project a shield. Being the only survivor, she was devastated. All her classmates and friends gone in the blink of an eye. And it didn't just end there. Almost everybody she cared for, she loved had vanished. Her sister was desperately trying to protect the city with her squadron. Days later, nothing was heard of her anymore. Was she killed? Was she missing? Nobody knew. This left Nienke devastated. Instead of sulking about it, thinking back of the magical powers that had awoken in her, she turned this anguish, hatred into a motivation to fight the Neuroi. She wanted to prevent any further casualties from happening. Everything she cared for vanished in mere moments. Nienke didn't want the same to happen to anyone else, but her parents prevented her from doing so. Still grieving over the loss of their eldest daughter, they didn't want the same to happen to Nienke. Hellbent on becoming a witch, Nienke ran away from home, only taking her sister's goggles with her. She somehow managed to get recruited into the LG2 where she got basic training. After the training was finished a transfer to the SG1 was in order where she continued flying missions and build up her skills.

Due to her magical handicap, Nienke is forced to use custom Strikers to help with her weakness. While she can't use magic well, she learned how to defeat the Neuroi with brute force; heavy weaponry.
She's currently stationed in Hawaii as part of the 410th Tropical Witches. After recent events, she has been assigned as the CO during battles.

Her scars remind her of the past, how she has survived the horror back then, how she's survived every battle up till now. The goggles always remind her of her sister, how even in the face of certain defeat she bravely fought on to protect her and the rest of the country. If she had died, she had not died in vain. It inspires Nienke in the moments she needs it the most. Plagued by events of the past, her perception on regular life and battle are unlike those of the others. Emotions got the better of her during a recent battle which left her fatally wounded. Interaction with other witches and changing her mindset has finally allowed her to put her past behind her and live in the present.

In her free time Nienke loves to read books, tinkering with her equipment and training her marksmanship. She's hellbent on defeating the Neuroi threat, trying to overcome any flaws she has. She cares much about her fellow witches and tries to do her best to make the others feel well, sometimes going too far.

Appearance:

• Hair: Medium length. Light brown color.
• Eyes: Light blue
• Uniform: Luftwaffe Panzer Jacket
• Goggles: Her sister's goggles.
• Hat: A Navy Blue Beret found on the streets during the invasion.

Nienke is about 175 centimeters tall and has a fairly big bust due to years of living on dairy products. She sports a navy blue beret, a Luftwaffe Panzer jacket and used to wear her sister's goggles around her neck. She has scars over her body from various conflicts and the first invasion on her town.

Stamina: 20:
Attributes/Quirks/Features Short Small Breasts Sickly:
Weapons: PRTD-41, Nagant M1895:
Personal:
Liliya grew up in the Orussian Empire as well as under the constant threat of Neuroi attacks. She lived in a small outpost that sprang up from the oil business. However, this also meant that it would be a nice target for an attack. When she was little, she didn't exactly share the idea that she was a witch with those around her. She was the only one she knew that had such powers, so felt that she was different and weird. As such, she kept herself distant from others.

When she was older, the Neuroi finally did attack. They besieged the town, leveling everything. Liliya survived by hiding in the basement of her home, though the house did collapse. Not big deal, right? At least with her magic, she was able to stop it from killing her. In doing so, she revealed her abilities to her family as well.

When the Orussian military mounted a rescue operation, saving the few survivors left, Liliya felt a compulsion to help in the fight against the Neuroi so that she could not only get revenge for the chaos that they cause, but also to help protect her family for the future. So, she joined.

Appearance:
A rather short girl at 5'0"/152cm. To match her smaller, petite form, she has a rather flat front side. She has straight, long, silvery hair that has a faint blue tinge, and vibrant green eyes that almost seem to glow.

Personal:
At the age of four, Mariah moved to the East Indies with her father, a doctor sent to the southern Islands. Unlike her father, who is a Doctor, and her mother, a witch with healing magic, Mariah has no special talent in healing. Her family was stranded in the East Indies when the Neuroi first appeared in their Homeland. Mariah volunteered to return to Europe to fight, but with the appearance of still more Neuroi in the Pacific, she was reassigned closer to home. While most of her training has been in the indies, and she has never seen combat, she is an experienced tracker and hunter. Her name, "Mariah," is Britannian, reflecting her mother's distant ancestry.

Appearance:
Tall and somewhat ungainly (~173cm), With Blonde hair and Grey Eyes. Her hair parts 1/3 on the right. It is waxy and between shoulder and upper back length. she occasionally wears it in a pony tail, but normally lets it hang free. She wears a light scarf that she uses to cover her face when tracking, along with a modified KNIL infantry uniform, replete with a large knife. Raised in the jungle around her father's clinic, she is exceptionally loud and is noticeably uncomfortable indoors.

Personal: A military witch out of choice Lucy joined the RAF Yorkshire 618th Witch Squadron as a bid to get away from her parents at age 12 when she ran way at home age 10. Though she left her personal problems at home she brought the after affects of them with herself and to her new comrades in arms in the shape of an never ending aggressive attitude which was triggered whenever she got displeased with the smallest thing. Eventually after punching a NCO out cold at age 15 she began base hopping where only her skill in shields kept her in service and not in the brig. Along the line she must of caught someone's eye as she got a transfer letter to a JFW after her 8th base transfer. Not thinking foreign transfer would could be worse than local transfers she accepted and so headed to Hawaii.

Currently M.I.A presumed dead.

Appearance:Considerably taller than her peers Lucy stands 180cm tall and gives off the impression of someone dangerous. Her long dark blond frizzy hair would compliment her worn glasses and hazel eyes well if she didn’t have a scowl on her face almost constantly. A RAF long-coat and white shirt is her preferred attire along with her striped knee socks of green and brown.

She had been given promotional opportunities, however she turned them down, including Squadron Leader and Wing Commander. In 1944 as the 244th squadron was disbanded, Nicole was immediately transferred to the Yorkshire 618th and was promoted to Flight Lieutenant in the RAF.

Personal:
Born and raised in Romagna, Hakan Saevas got her Baltic name from her Baltic father who served in Romagnan army. Saevas has only two persons around whom she feels comfortable, as she has been an introvert through her whole life. Because she has no ability whatsoever in social interaction, she tends to either fake emotions, act grumpy or just plain ignore people. It doesn't mean she is particularly emotionless or cold, she just can't interact. Backstory will come about while RPing if it is to come about. It's nothing that dramatic or special, but it doesn't feel right to write it here.

Appearance:
Long and slender frame, hair reaching to the shoulder blades. Being a mix of two quite different nationalities, Saevas' milky brown skin, sandy blond hair and greyish brown eyes give her a ”Latte” look, only broken by her army green jacket.

A Fusoan night-witch, she has served in 3 separate air detachments including her 'home squadron' in the Fuso Imperial Navy and a JFW wing in Suomus, the 33rd Blitz Witches.

Her natural aptitude with high power, high accuracy weapons places her in a heavy support position in most active engagements. Preferring to wait until a shot is absolutely guaranteed she has earned the chagrin of some of her wingmates due to her apparent last minute shots. Her abilities as a solo night-witch, however, has scored her an almost undisputed position in JFW night patrols.

She is currently serving as a night-witch in the 410th Tropical Witches stationed in Hawaii.
