They kind of look like WWI polish soldiers

@Tsumanne There's a tag for that, FYI.

FYI, it would be helpful to mention what said tag is.
That being said, I have obviously looked and noticed the change. Good catch.
But there is a better way to go about that.

Fun-fact about her is that she loves playing futsal with her servants. In game she has this action where she kick a flaming ball at her enemies.

Its called CAR (center axis relock). The idea was a method that allowed fast firing at close ranges while keeping the gun close in for retention. Conventionally, LEAs used to teach a kind of unsupported isosceles (some called it "tactical cqb" where the elbows are bent 90 degrees. The problem is the handgun (or at least the brass) would whip back into your face and you had essentially no isometric tension to control recoil.

CAR is intended to solve this, you are using a push push grip which is identical in function to the push pull grip of conventional weaver and isosceles stances. There are two versions of CAR intended for different situations, high and low. What is seen here is high, intended for normal shooting. Low is where the handgun is nestled near the abdomen and crushed keeping the gun in an extremely tight retention. An added benefit is that since your shooting stance is at an angle to your torso, the stance can be assumed easily even when wearing hard plates.

Cons: In low CAR you have a very high probability of shooting your elbow off if you don't pay attention. Also you aren't using your sights so you are effectively point shooting which generally is not advised except when the adversary is on you (in which case grappling and knife work is a lot smarter to do). Low CAR can be completely replaced with the speed rock.
In high CAR, the handgun is tilted at an angle. This means the muzzle rise is going to also be at an angle. This can really screw up some people's ability to put rounds on target fast and accurately. Personally, I do use CAR but a modified version where the sights are parallel with the ground like normal. It really does nothing to change the stance itself, and I really don't know why the founder (Paul Castle) didn't make it this way originally. It also prevents the cross eyed dominance issue. I also cock my non-firing elbow downward since it reduces the slight chance of shooting it as well as winging it does nothing to improve tension anyways.

Realistically, most situations will allow you to use a normal modern isosceles stance without having to resort to CAR. However, CAR does have its place as there are quite a few situations where you are peeking into cramped quarters to check things out, and it is nicer to have both hands on weapon than only one.

Another related note, lots of instructors teach based on "both eyes open" saying it reduces tunnel vision, but that is BS. Tunnel vision is a natural occurrence for our body to focus on the immediate threat. We actually train to encourage tunnel vision because we focus on the front sight or aiming point of our reticle when we make shots. Both eyes open will not expand your field of view, and will hinder you in the long run since when you switch shoulders, you are now cross eyed dominant which causes double vision especially when looking through a slightly magnified optic. Ambidextrous shooting is pooh poohed by some people but it is important because there are many situations where you are standing behind cover keeping an adversary in position. If that cover is covering your right and you can only shoot right handed you are SOL as the only way you will be shooting is totally exposed out of cover. Being able to wink both eyes clears up the double vision issue from cross dominance and ambidextrous shooting allows a more flexible use of the terrain available to you.

The isometric aspects of CAR do nothing much biomechanically to manage recoil; the gun will be driven up and back, bending at the bent elbow of your firing arm. If you're in proper CAR and holding the gun vertically, this will drive it into your forehead, which is why Castle has the gun canted for high CAR. It recoils over your shoulder instead.

For best recoil control in this stance you want to almost point your supporting elbow straight downrange. Our model's form is pretty poor; without that dead straight alignment of your arms you lose the isometric tension. It'll force you to blade off, too, which makes you a smaller target, but if you're in body armor you are best off squaring up and presenting the strike face of your vest instead of your flank.

As an instructor I don't teach CAR; any space too close for a standard stance is close enough for point shooting, and your sidearm is a weapon for getting out of situations, not into them.

Well, they were not. They were both admited as a state of the US in 1959. Hence the error Kissmyaxe noted.

Not everyone is a WW2 or history enthusiast.
Well, I wouldn't think normal people nowaday really care that much anyway.

The scenery and ambiance looks definitely fin-de-siecle British --- even Newlyn School, but could equally well be on the east coast, like Norfolk or Whitby --- yet the pipe inclines me to Gangut. The brushwork behind could be Boudin, at a French port.

Anyway, not American.

I thought that I think the image does not represent America XD, but rather to Britain.

The artist tagged it with 落ち武者. The wiki says "Sometimes the term is also used to refer to people with a bald top head and stretched hair on the sides.", so she's definitely bold.

Well, now. Learned something neat, today ;3
