== Charactah Account ==
Aleksandra, or Sanya as she prefers to be called, is a shy Orussian witch in the 501st that often handles night patrol duties alone. Described as "nocturnal" she doesn't have a lot of contact with the other members of the 501st, but is essential for the unit's safety. Because of her lack of contact with the rest of the squad, she is only close to Eila and Erica although her compassionate and submissive personality means she's kind and accepting of everybody in the 501st. Sanya's father was an accomplished musician and taught Sanya how to play the piano and sing. He even wrote a song for her entitled 'Sanya's Song'. When the Neuroi invaded Orussia, Sanya was separated from her father but maintains hope that he's still alive in Orussia and someday they'll be reunited. To remind herself, she often hums the song her father composed for her.
The cute girl from a northern country, Sanya. This girl who is weak against sunlight always seems to be tired during the day and is mostly awake during the night. She gives a very fleeting impression, almost as if she's about to disappear. She has an obedient personality and doesn't speak much. She is always together with Eila, who loves her dearly, and Sanya is also very attached to Eila. She appear introverted and reclusive to their team mates, usually because by the time Sanya return to the base from their nightly patrols, she is extremely tired, and tend to spend most of the daylight hours sleeping over socialized with the rest of the 501st JFW.
Sanya is patient and also very good at singing and playing the piano. Although Sanya is little shy, passive and quiet, reserved, and no has much confidence in herself, she is really very kind and it seems like she's had something of a breakthrough lately. Flying Officer Clostermann has criticism for her: That girl you never know whether she's there or not? It's almost like she's a ghost.

== Trivia ==
* Sanya is based on Russian flying ace Lydia V. Litvyak, who is one of only two female aces of World War II and the only female pilot out of all other pilots that witches are based on. Both share the name "White Lily of Stalingrad"; a nickname that may have been an influence on the color of Sanya's hair. Despite this basis, the two have totally opposite personalities. While Sanya is reserved & passive, Lydia was quite rebellious, and a bit of a romanticist.
* Her familiar is the domestic cat (Black cat to be precise), very appropriate for a Night Witch.
* Her favorite foods are Shchi, Borscht and Kasha.
* Her nickname "Sanya" is a shortened version of her full name Aleksandra, which is a habit for Orussian people. It comes from extracting the part "сан" from her Cyrillic name "Александра", and shorten "дра" to "я" ("nya") which gives "саня" ("Sanya").
* Sanya stores a lot of her QSL cards in her waist pouch so that she can reply immediately, even if she forgets the radio code.
