External profile
Age: 14 Birthday: August 18, 1930 Full name: Aleksandra Vladimirovna Litvyak The only witch from the Orussian Empire in the 501st Wing, at thirteen years old. Preferring to stay indoors during the day, Sanya has been described as "nocturnal." At times she is literally asleep on her feet, counting on Eila to move her around. Despite this somewhat limiting her contact with the other members of the 501st, her low profile makes her ideal for night missions and sneak attacks. Gains the ears and tail of a black cat with her Striker Unit equipped. Sanya's rank is Flying Officer and her original unit affiliation is the Orussia Imperial Army 586th Fighter Regiment. Her weapon of choice is a modified Fliegerfaust called the "Fliegerhummer." Her Striker Unit design is based on the MiG60 (a fictional warbird combining features of the MiG-1, MiG-3, and Yakovlev Yak-1) and her pilot archetype is Lydia Litvyak. (Source: Wikipedia)

Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen251 fan favorites
External profile
The fifteen-year-old top ace of the Suomus Air Force 24th Unit with the rank of Flying Officer. Eila's hobby is fortune-telling with tarot cards, although the accuracy of her predictions is questionable at best. Somewhat mischievous, like the black fox whose features she gains in flight. She has a talent for analyzing the thoughts and feelings of her companions, and this skill translates well to the battlefield where her judgment is used to consistently outwit her opponents. In combat her weapons of choice are the MG42 and Suomi M1931 submachine gun. Eila's Striker Unit is based on the Messerschmitt Bf-109G-2 and she herself is based on Eino Ilmari Juutilainen.

Height: 148 cm Joining the 501st from the Duchy of Romagna, Francesca is the youngest soldier of the unit at a mere twelve years. Her rank is that of a Warrant officer and her unit affiliation was with Romagna's Regia Aeronautica 4th Air Unit. Francesca is often childish and self-indulgent, shirking training and other duties in order to have fun around the base or nap. However, in battle she displays a true talent and passion for flying. Also displayed are the ears and tail of a black leopard. Good friends with the similarly casual Charlotte. During battles she carries a M1919 A6, Breda-SAFAT 12.7 mm machine gun, or Beretta Model 1938A. Her Striker Unit is based on the G.55 Centauro, and her ace archetype is Franco Lucchini.

Age: 15 Height: 152cm DOB: 2/28 A wealthy and proper fifteen year old Gallian girl who looks down on some of the less-refined habits of her peers. The emotional scars left by the Neuroi's destruction of her homeland cause her numerous problems. She often refuses to work as a team, and develops something of a dislike for the upstart newcomer Yoshika due to her attachment to Mio. When wearing her Striker Unit, she gains the dark ears and tail of a Chartreux. Perrine holds the rank of Flying Officer and her original unit was the Armée de l'Air 802nd Flying Corps.

The middle child of eight sisters, Lynette developed very domestic and practical habits from helping to take care of her siblings.

Holds the rank of Sergeant and her affiliation is the Royal Air Force 610th Fighter Squadron. Her armaments are a Mk. I Boys Anti-tank Rifle and a Bren light machine gun.

Age: 16 Height: 167cm DOB: 2/13 A sixteen year old girl hailing from the United States of Liberion with the rank of Flight Lieutenant. Magnanimous in character and buxom in appearance, Charlotte is a thrill-seeker who is fascinated by speed. Like a speedy hare, she gains the ears and tail of a rabbit when equipped with her Striker. Concerned with cleanliness, Charlotte had her personal bath transported all the way to the Strike Witches' Britannia base when she was transferred from the Liberion Army 363rd Fighter Wing. In combat her armament can consist of a M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, Thompson M1 A1, or Colt Government M1911 A1.
