Appearance
Didrika is of average height; with a slender but curvy body type; has dark brown eyes; and has tan fur and dark brown hair.
Didrika has an eye tattooed on the palm of her left hand, which she uses to intimidate superstitious parties. She wears casual but utilitarian clothing, usually a loose blouse, jodhpurs (she never wears skirts or dresses), and boots; and gold hoop earrings and various charms, including a death's-head pendant. She comes across as flirtatious and seductive, often inappropriately so.
Family & Relationships
Boris (Lover)
Red Army deserter whom Didrika rescues from capture and torture by a German army unit. He doesn't believe her at first when she insists she did so alone, but gradually comes around, and convinces his other men to ally with her. He's quite chauvinistic toward her in the beginning but she earns his respect, and the two grow close; despite Didrika's promiscuity, she considers Boris her only genuine love, and he remains faithful to her, serving as her loyal second-in-command. He gives her his rifle and she uses it as her weapon of choice.
Adel von NN (Partner)
German sniper known as Ratdog; he's one of Didrika's primary enemies and rivals throughout the war, the two often clashing with each other. They develop a grudging respect for each other's skills, and several times Ratdog and his companion Klemper send escaped victims of the Nazis her way for safety, hinting that they don't agree with the regime. The two of them meet again after the war and although they never marry, they do start a family.
Copper Rat (Acquaintance/Casual Lover)
Trench Rat with whom Didrika is briefly involved; Boris expresses disgust, solely because he's a Trench Rat.
Godfrey von Adel (Son)
Didrika's and Ratdog/Adel's firstborn child and son. He's named after Adel's deceased lover, Godfrey Klemper.
Tatiana von Adel (Daughter)
Didrika's and Ratdog/Adel's secondborn child and daughter. She's named after the deceased Boris's sister Tatiana.
