Corporal Maria Jane Patterson (age 16). United States of Liberion 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, 5th Witches' Platoon, the Wardogs. Her Striker is an M1A1 Abrams, her standard armaments are the "Big Gun" 50mm smooth-bore and the M9 pistol. Her familiar is the golden retriever. She's a gunner in the Wardogs with a great deal of faith in MSG Rockfield. She saw her first combat experience in the Gulf War, but she single-handedly destroyed over 50 of the enemy's land units. She is something of an expert with the 50mm cannon among her comrades in the Army, and is even recorded to have scored a kill on an enemy unit through a building. The War Dogs scored over 200 enemy land kills during the Gulf Neuroi War, making them the Army's most effective Witch platoon. She's got a gutsy, boyish personality, and refers to herself as "boku". "My APFSDS's loaded! I'm ready to go any time, Sergeant!"
