Kay (Vore)

Kay has long dirty blonde hair, parted in the middle with a widow's peak, and light-blue eyes.

She is usually seen in the Saunders school uniform, and dresses down by untucking her blouse and rolling up her blazer and blouse sleeves. Kay also wears long white stockings with her uniform, instead of the short grey ones worn by her peers, and black ankle boots instead of school loafers.

In sensha-do, Kay wears Saunders' khaki tank jacket and boots. She usually wears the jacket unzipped, revealing her black undershirt, and denim shorts instead of the usual olive drab shorts.

Kay favors strategies which rely on rushing her opponents, according to the doctrine of "shock and awe". Due to the Sherman's under-powered armaments compared to other medium tanks from the same era, Kay tends to deploy multiple tanks to engage and overwhelm single targets. Using this doctrine, Kay can isolate and focus fire on single targets, and also chase them down if necessary.

Since Saunders fields mostly M4 Shermans, Kay maintains multiple variants of the tanks to use in her arsenal. Most of her tanks are stock M4 Shermans with the 75mm main gun, though she has also fielded a later-model M4A1 Sherman with the 76 mm main armament. As an ace up her sleeve, Kay also fields the Sherman Firefly with its QF-17 (quick-firing 17-pounder) anti-tank gun, commanded by her trusted lieutenant and ace gunner.

Kay also values fair play, and frowns upon using unfair means to gain an edge in combat - even if it is by her own personnel. Despite gaining valuable intelligence from Alisa wiretapping Ooarai's communications in one of their matches, Kay expressed her disapproval once Alisa confessed that she had brought the radio-interception balloon and had fallen for Ooarai's counter-espionage measures. Kay then evened the playing field by ordering five of her tanks to disengage, to even her numbers against Ooarai.

Kay leads Saunders University High School's Sensha-do team as its commanding officer. In all of her appearances, she commanded an M4 Sherman medium tank.

Kay's favorite flowers are lupins, and her favorite tank is the US M4 Sherman medium tank. Kay often uses English phrases in her regular speech. Outside of sensha-do, Kay enjoys throwing parties. Kay is a big eater, and can swallow half a hamburger in a single bite Kay has two younger siblings - a brother and a sister. According to Alisa, Kay's bust size is 85D (Japan/EU), or 38C (US). In the official art gallery of the Supplemental Material, Kay is usually depicted as winking at the screen, as if breaking the fourth wall.

Kay is based on stereotypes about Americans. She's loud, cheerful, and polite. She and her teammates can be seen eating burgers and other fast food while watching other Sensha-Dō matches. She has a strong sense of sportsmanship and always wants to play fair. This is shown when she scolds Alisa after she is caught tire-tapping Oarai's tanks. She never takes Sensha-Dō too seriously. She is also willing to help others. In Der Film, she picks up and holds Oarai's tanks so they won't be dismantled. Later on, she and the rest of the Saunders Sensha-Dō team help Oarai in the Battle for Ooarai against the All-Stars University Team.
