potofsoup:Later, Colonel Philips asked Stella, “Where did you manage to find so many women on the front lines?”Stella smiled. “I didn’t.  They were already here.”[Apologies on Dernier’s Google Translate French.  :(  She’s supposed to be saying something about punching HYDRA guys in the face.  Happy to fix with proper translation if you message me!][More on Stella Rogers and Jennie Barnes]—————————————-So I had this idea that HYDRA would need women to experiment on, and so they’d isolate any women they captured in a separate area.   Then I decided that I’d like to do voiceover narration practice and also learn to use Manga Studio 5.  So this happened.The Howling Commandos:Jane Morita: 3rd generation Japanese girl who grew up in Fresno.  She hated the camps, partially because she hated being forced to be more Japanese than she felt like.  WAC was looking for Japanese-speaking women for the Signal Corps to help with communications in the Pacific theater, so Jane pretended to know enough Japanese to get in, and then went to work proving her mechanical aptitude.Jeanne Dernier: She’s part of the Free French army, but before that she was a baker.  She’s a bit older than the rest, and is short and stocky.  As a baker she has strong arms and a finessed sense of ingredients, which is why she soon became the expert bomb-maker.  She also has great scouting and tracking skills, which is why she heard Stella coming, and probably also heard her keys.Mary Falsworth:  She was part of the Air Transport Auxiliary , which started out mostly doing cargo transit, but by 1943, was getting sent to the front lines.  Probably the most socially competent.  Bit of a jokester,Gabby Jones: She went to teacher’s college, where she learned French and picked up German and Spanish on the side.  When the war started, she joined the Red Cross as a nurse.Thelma/Timothy Dum-Dum Dugan: He was born as Thelma, but prefers Timothy or Dum-Dum.  Was the bearded lady in a circus before enlisting with the 107th.  He originally didn’t like being reminded of his past as Thelma, but hanging out with the awesome ladies of the Howling Commandos has made him more accepting of his lady origins.  (And introducing himself as Thelma is his way of apologizing to Jane…. judging by names and all that.) -- source link
