Meet the characters from Saga of Tanya the Evil

Tanya Degurechaff

Okay, Tanya is everything you want in a chaotic, tiny tyrant — brilliant, terrifying, and somehow endlessly efficient. She’s cold, hyper-rational, and obsessed with rank and survival, but also childishly proud in a way that makes you want to poke her (don’t). There’s this hilarious contrast of the salaryman soul trapped in a little girl’s body — and yes, she totally hoards tiny things on her desk like screws or candy wrappers, I swear I saw it once. She’s ruthless on the battlefield but oddly fastidious about uniforms, which feels both terrifying and a little adorable.

Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov (Visha)

Visha is the sunlight to Tanya’s storm cloud — loyal, upbeat, and quietly ferocious when it matters, like a saint who can shoot you from a mile away. She’s cheerful, a little clumsy with paperwork (but deadly with a rifle), and has this way of being tender without being sappy; I love that. She bakes? Maybe she does. Sometimes I remember her making dumplings, sometimes it’s biscuits — either way she brings the comfort food energy to the front lines.

Erich von Rerugen

Erich is the calm, glasses-adjusting type who handles the messy bits of war with a surprisingly soft handshake and an even softer laugh — bureaucrat and old-school officer mixed into one. He seems like he adores protocol and tea (seriously, picture a man who names his teacups), but he’s quietly clever and sometimes delightfully ruthless when the need arises. I can almost hear him humming something stodgy but oddly catchy while sorting reports — or maybe that was just me making that up. He’s the reliable steady hand, though he’ll surprise you with a shady smirk now and then.

General Zettour

Zettour is the archetype of the proud, honorable commander — very old-school, very polished, very ready to lecture about tactics and honor at the drop of a hat. He’s bold and confident to a fault, which is inspiring but also slightly scary because he sometimes misreads people (or maybe he just enjoys the theatrical downfall of his enemies, who knows). I always picture him with a cigar and a classical tune playing faintly — except sometimes he’s into weird military folk songs, whoops. He’s the kind of leader who expects the world to follow rules, and then gets very dramatic when it doesn’t.

Loria

Loria is this quietly elegant enigma — soft voice, sharp edges, dresses like porcelain but moves like a fox; she’s way more cunning than she looks. She gives off “kind aristocrat” vibes while probably running three separate schemes before breakfast, and also keeps an alarming collection of teaspoons for reasons nobody can explain. Sometimes she’s warm and genuinely affectionate, sometimes she’s cold and calculating — which is both delicious and exhausting to think about. Honestly, she’s the kind of character you’d trust with tea and then later find out she’s been two steps ahead the whole time.
