A little girl depicted in a drawing that the Old Squad Leader keeps close to his chest. She drew a simple sketch of herself holding hands with her father, with a sun and a bowl of noodles. The Old Squad Leader promised her that after the war he would take her to eat white noodles with meat. She represents hope and the future that the soldiers are fighting for. Her image drives the Old Squad Leader to endure the snow mountain and keeps his spirits up. She is a silent character who appears only through the drawing and the Old Squad Leader's words, but she is the emotional core of his motivation and a symbol of the innocent lives they aim to protect.
