Character Information

Personality and traits

S-3 is a friendly, cheery Belle who is shown to enjoy all sorts of desserts. She was nicknamed Sushka (a kind of Russian hard bread ring like a small donut) by Leningrad. S-3 is quite irresponsible and sees work as something bad for her and her crew, neglecting to tidy the submarine and having things left all over the floor. A rat that was described as almost mummified was even found by her captain and in response she tells him to put a ribbon on it to make it look nicer. Despite all this she acts innocently about it, having an innocent childlike demeanor. She also seems to be a big dreamer, constantly insisting her captain to consider getting a cow as a source of fresh milk for drinking and making toffee despite the many logistical challenges of keeping a cow on a submarine.

Tombstone quotes

Heroic	Always young and healthy.
