i mean it is mentioned in the book that marya is considered thicker per say? madame lebedeva says humans are so robust and orders marya another serving of soup in the cafe. and further in the novel when marya is standing naked with ivan the book describes marya as follows: “ She liked her body, liked looking at it, even- especially- scored with the tiger stripes of welts across her naked heavy breasts, her belly. She did not have a girl’s body anymore; her hips were a lions hips, her chest strong and muscled, her legs trained to leap and run and kneel to fire. “ so i would say it is clear marya is by no means meant to be a slender or small woman, shes meant to be thick and muscular. now when marya was younger she was likely more slender and girlish but around this point in the novel marya is approaching 30, shes a grown woman and it shows and it is only accentuated by the fact that marya serves as a general in koscheis war, she is trained to be strong and capable.

wow they really are those b*tches @nexusbeing  &  @volchista …
