The middle Prozorov sister, married at eighteen to the schoolteacher Kulygin, whom she once found impressive and now finds merely kind; she falls into a passionate affair with the battery commander Vershinin over the course of the play, confesses it to her sisters in Act Three, and must part from him for good when his brigade is transferred away in Act Four, returning, weeping, to Kulygin's forgiving household.
