Vitya Geist

= Who is Vitya? =
Vitya is the side character of Garma. She is known to look very similiar to a ghost, a calm quiet soldier, fitting for her name.
= Vitya's Backstory =
Vitya was born in a small cabin deep in the Black Forest of southern Germany to a family of hunter/trappers. Her childhood was spent helping her father hunt game, and mother tend to the house and younger siblings. Through these efforts Vitya learned many skills from skinning and butchering animals, using rifles and bows to sowing and cooking. Due to her family's location being so deep in the forests and isolated from civilization her only companionship was that of her family and any animals she met. She never received a proper education outside of basic reading and writing, her parents favoring useful skills and crafts that would help the family. As she grew older her position as eldest child became more and more important and her father's old age started to hinder his ability to hunt and farm.
Because of this Vitya would leave her family’s cabin early in the morning before light and return a day or so later bringing home whatever she could acquire. Life took its toll on Vitya as she spent all her days silent in the woods listening to animals and the wind, her life filled with only killing and harvesting meat to feed her siblings and parents with no time for fun or joy for herself. All until one cold winter night, While Vitya made her way back to her cabin with some pheasants and rabbits she heard her Mother crying out in the distance. As Vitya approached she could hear clearly that her mother was calling out for Vitya’s younger sister Anna. Soon learning that Anna never came home after going to get water from the frozen river nearby, Vitya dropped the animals and her camping equipment and ran off towards the river, carrying her father's old rifle tightly.
With the white snow reflecting the full moons light through the dark woods Vitya quietly made her way to the river’s edge, near where Anna normally goes. As she scanned the river her eyes froze on a small, dark, red obstruction in the empty white snow. Her heart melted as the image of Anna’s lifeless body, mangled and torn rested amongst a red layer of snow and animal tracks. Wolves, the tracks were from wolves, hungry and desperate from a hard and cold winter. In silence Vitya returned to her family carrying what remained of Anna wrapped in her winter cloak. The night was long and Vitya’s mind was filled only with the image of Anna and her mother and Father’s cries throughout the cabin. The next morning after digging and burying Anna in a small grave behind the cabin, her Family loaded into their wagon and headed out of the forest to a nearby village where her Aunt lived. Here they stayed with her Aunt as her father grew even more sick from the winter and his broken heart, Her mother demanding that Vitya’s last sibling and younger brother be safe from any harm.
Still needing to help her family make their way, Vitya looked for work in the village, but her cold and silent personality only seemed to lower cher chances as all seemed uneasy or disturbed when near her.
Finding no work Vitya came across an Imperial recruitment poster in one of the taverns, seeing no other option she went home, packed her bags and hitched a ride from a craftsmen heading into the city to sell his goods. The following Day vitya entered one of the many Imperial recruitment offices dotted throughout the city and enlisted, passing all physical examinations and requirements. She wrote back to her Aunts telling her family what she was doing and made sure they would receive her monthly payments. Due to her experience and knowledge of survival skills, marksmanship, tracking and hunting she was assigned to a Reconnaissance unit within the Heer after completing her Training.
