Same user from below comment. If the author follows his earlier work plot, that won't be exactly true: there, her "only flaws" will put her in quite a bind. You can already notice that on the LN summaries as Mary's priorities are very different than her superiors. I am affraid that Mary fits more the trope of the (dangerous but) "useful idiot", which is quite sad - she's just a child soldier without Tanya's experience and maturity to "navigate the dangerous waters" of the war. She's being set up for a very big fall in the long term/post-war, IMHO. My only doubt for the LN is whether the author will have her take Tanya down with her. After all, both of them are stains that any reputable peace-time army would want to wash.
