She is affiliated with the Karlsland Air Force and her home unit: the Luftwaffe's JG27, in Africa. An ultra-ace with the highest shot-down records in the North African front called "Star of Africa" out of her prodigious air combat skills and sparkling beauty. Some also know her as "Desert Eagle" and - after her machine's call sign - "Gelb Vierzehn" (gerubefiasheen), but those close to her simply call her Tina. Her familiar is the Steller's Sea Eagle. In October 1942, her first familiar died in middle of combat. In order to mourn its death as a comrade in arms, she raised a gravestone in form of pyramid right beneath the combat airspace. Her current familiar is the child of the first.
