Katyusha

Katyusha goes to the Pravda High school. Pravda is a school based in the Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost prefecture on the island of Honshu. A well-known and highly respected school in the Sensha-dō league, Pravda are amongst the top performers in every competition and were the defending champions. In contrast to most of other schools, Pravda is not run by a student council and is instead under the rule of the Sensha-dō captain, Katyusha, who exerts her authority in a dictatorship-esque fashion. Many of the school 'rules' are a consequence of the hapless first year students running to obey Katyusha's every whim. The school environment is highly punitive, with persistent references to "purges" and "Siberian mines" as forms of punishments for those who upset the commander. The liberal and subjective manner in which these punishments are distributed invokes many taboo actions or opinions, often regarding Katyusha's height. Katyusha's excessive disciplining is balanced by vice-commander Nonna, who considerately scales down the sentence to more traditional punishments, like forced labor or "extra homework in a classroom without windows". Pravda also have an underground railway facility. The railway is connected to everywhere on the school ship and was originally used for mailing purpose. They also had a night train, but it was abolished, probably refer on Trans-Siberian Railway.

Katyusha is a proud, somehow cheerful, energetic and strategic. When she's told that she looks like a little kid, she often gets angry or pouts. She also tends to get angry when things doesn't go her way. She doesn't understand flirting and if someone tries to flirt with her, she doesn't even gets flustered and just calls them stupid. She often curses in Russian because she's russian. She doesn't like to talk in Russian for longer time. She's also disciplined and doesn't like lazy or slow people. She's quite bossy and wants others to obey her. As a captain and tank tactician, her favourite tank is T-34-85.

Katyusha tends to employ strategies which rely on her opponents to make missteps, before going in for the kill. As seen against Ooarai and Kuromorimine, she knows the importance of good positioning and coordination, to spring a trap and close the net on her unlucky opponent. The double envelopment is her favorite maneuver - forcing her enemies to fight equally hard on two fronts, or crumble before Pravda's might.

Besides being a genius tactician, Katyusha also enjoys using the weather in her favor. As a Soviet-themed school, Pravda is accustomed to fighting in the bitter cold, granting her team the advantage as the cold winter wreaks havoc on enemy tanks and morale.

Katyusha also has access to some of the most powerful armor ever to see action in WWII, including the IS-2 and KV-2. She usually deploys the IS-2 as part of her vanguard, with her trusted lieutenant Nonna in the gunner's seat. The KV-2 is called upon for fire support missions, with its powerful 152 mm howitzer destroying almost anything it hits.

Katyusha has short, platinum blonde hair, styled in a bob-cut, and a small, petite figure. She has sharp blue-green eyes, and a yaeba, or protruding tooth on the left side of her mouth. She's short, about 176 cm tall, she's 18 years old.

Katyusha is usually seen in the standard Pravda High School uniform, with calf-length socks and dark loafers. In sensha-do, Katyusha wears a dark green coverall with long sleeves and short pant legs, with the Pravda four-pointed red star. She occasionally wears a Soviet-style tanker helmet with padded ridges across the top, with its chinstrap kept loose, and tanker boots.
