Wazzer - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Wazzer, whose full name is Alice Band, is a devout and fervently religious young woman who serves as a soldier in the Borogravian army. Her unwavering faith in the Duchess, the nation's deity, and her quiet, unassuming demeanor conceal a core of steel and determination. Wazzer's role in "Monstrous Regiment" is pivotal as she becomes a symbol of hope and divine intervention, ultimately leading her comrades with a sense of purpose and spiritual strength.
Physical Appearance
Wazzer is a slight, almost frail-looking young woman with a pale complexion and wide, earnest eyes that seem to hold a depth of conviction beyond her years. Her hair is a mousy brown, often tucked under a soldier's cap, and her uniform is the standard-issue Borogravian military attire, which hangs loosely on her thin frame. Despite her unassuming appearance, there is an aura of quiet intensity about her, especially when she speaks of the Duchess, and her presence is marked by a serene, almost ethereal quality that belies her physical fragility.
