Katyusha

[PROFILE] - Katyusha is a student from third year student of Pravda High School and the overall commander of the school's Sensha-Dō team. She operates a Soviet T-34/85

[APPEARANCE] - Katyusha is a girl with short blonde hair, light blue eyes and sharp "tiger teeth on left side". She wears a red shirt, green-brown uniform tunic with two big closable pockets and a Red four-pointed star on left side. She also wear a black skirt, and on legs she have black shoes, and black knee socks. During matches she most of time wear, a jumpsuit modeled after those worn by WW2 Russian tank operators. Katyusha is also shown to wear a Russian tanker's padded cap when she prepares for battle, which looks gratuitously large on someone as small as her. She has a very diminutive stature, and small breasts, making her age hard to determine; however, canon states that she is 17 years old.

[PERSONALITY] - Katyusha is well known for her cold, arrogant, snide and childlike personality; most likely due to her small height with makes her feel resentful for, and she feels she has to 'stand above' anyone else, friend or foe alike, which she accomplishes for example by by humiliating of others, or by sitting on Nonna's shoulders, so she feels higher. While her arrogance is backed up by her tactical skill, it sometimes gets the better of her (her offering Ooarai the opportunity to surrender arguably squandered her advantage). She also always have tendency to be one who command without opposition. Althought in OVA 11 she seems to be with exceptions more conciliatory then before. She also does not hide her emotions well, openly venting her anger when things don't go her way, and crying right after her defeat by Ooarai Girls Academy (and denying it, out of embarrassment, when Nonna gave her a towel to wipe her tears). When she loosed match against Oarai she showed respect to Nishizumi Miho when she gratulated her, but she do not forget to mention that she win next time. In some situations she is also pretty pouty or sulking.

She is often iritated when her comrades speak Russian, because she can not speak russian on her own, so she do not understad. Nonna suggest that since Katyusha plan to go to study to Moscow, she should spend more time by learning russian, whats is hard because Katyusha have low stamina, and she always fell a sleep soon. Later it is shown Katyusha is interested about sign language, so Nonna remark she wish Katyusha would be so interested about Russian language.

Concerning her personal relationships, Katyusha have specific relations with Nonna, in whose company she is almost always found. Nonna is for Katyusha in some ways Mother figure, and about Katyusha propper care, but her deep adoration of Katyusha made her to feel uncriticly devoted to Katyusha, so she is not one who give command althought she suggest some personal recommendtions to Katyusha, as for example special time for sleep to increase Katyusha's stamina. Althought Katyusha is on Nonna sometimes arrogant, she still have good relation to her. Katyusha has a habit of calling Miho Nishizumi "Pirozhki," perhaps implying a fondness for Miho.

Despite her childish personality she is shown to be quite intelligent and manipulative, as she managed to manipulate both the Pravda 1st years to set them against their senpais, and the 3rd years to prevent them from punishing her for daring to beat them (with a little help from Nonna). In her attitudes she is firm, energic, and uncompromiss. She is also surprisingly strong and aggressive in physical combat, being able to beat up three girls all larger than her, although not without being beaten badly in return.
