The Background Information about Larissa Schmitt before her time in the Primary Fleet is classified and only available for the High Command. It is only known that she is the younger sister of Vivien Schmitt, formerly a Fähnrich, now listed M.I.A..
It was decided that she had the potential to become a valuable member of the Rheinland Military and with her agreement she was sent to Battleship Westphalia in the Bremen system where her training was being conducted under Vizeadmiral Verena Higham, who had always been opposted to the early advancement of younger officers and who was known for being tough in general. However, given her perfectionist character, Larissa managed to attract attention. Her results were much better than anyone elses, especially her performance in the Wraith was noted with pleasure by her superior officers. They only noticed one negative thing concerning Larissa, she isolated herself from others and they failed to find a reason for this behaviour.
Even though there existed such an issue, the ones in charge decided to let Larissa join the Primary Fleet as a Leutnant, a direct Middle Command position. She had the qualities which were needed for said position. In addition to her regular duties Larissa agreed to take care of the Primary Fleet recruitment and the Flieger promotions in order to reduce the workload of the High Command. Larissa always preferred a High Command which does not waste its precious time on tasks which could be done by lower ranked members of the Military.
Numerous victories against the menace coming from Liberty and the Rheinland unlawfuls, especially the Red Hessians, were some of the reasons for her temporary promotion to the rank of Major, a rank she proudly held for some time. She was given the rank of Hauptmann after the High Command had stabilized, which meant that there was no longer a need for a Major.
Due to some health issues Larissa has been unable to fulfill her duties, but once said issues had been cured she was able to return to her previous rank. It did not take long before she was promoted to the rank of Generalleutnant and directly joined the Rheinland Military Oberkommando.
