Lynette Bishop

Lynette Bishop, sometimes "Lynne" to her squadmates, is a witch of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, originating from Britannia and attached with the Britannia Air Force. She is the younger sister of Wilma Bishop, and the daughter of the veteran of the First Neuroi War Minnie Bishop.

Her familiar, like her older sister Wilma, is the Scottish Fold cat, although unlike Wilma the characteristic folding ears of the Scottish Fold are complete.

Lynne is one of the main characters of the Strike Witches anime.

In the AWA fics, Lynne is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Lynne is a young girl with a big bust. She has a long, light-brown hair tied in a single braid by a black ribbon, and has light-blue eyes. She wears a black uniform jacket over a light-brown sweater vest, white dress shirt and green necktie, green & red thigh-high socks and black boots.

Personality
The middle child of eight siblings, Lynette was sometimes overlooked and developed very domestic and practical habits from helping to take care of them. Because of this, she's very domestic and painfully shy. Plagued by occasional clumsiness and sometimes overlooked, she nevertheless strives to do her best. She's a kind, gentle and obedient girl who still seems a bit helpless at times and finds no joy in fighting, but she joined up recently to protect her homeland when she wanted to be of use to everyone. However, she's strong-willed, obstinate and very reliable.

Apologizing seems to be her first knee-jerk reflex. Also, every time the squadron chips in to help prepare for a difficult mission, her suggestion is tea. She's very good at brewing tea, so she's in charge of tea time. She is also good in cooking, especially candies and sweets.

After she meets Sergeant Miyafuji, the two eventually become best friends. Also, during the Gallia reconstruction, Lynne becomes friends with Flying Officer Clostermann. Her dream had been become a good wife, but her dream change.

Abilities
Lynette serves as the squadron's sharpshooter and possesses the ability to control the flight of projectiles to a limited extent. It would also appear she can charge magical energy into the shots to increase their effectiveness. These powers Ballistic Stabilization and Grant Magic Power allow her to affect bullets and other objects thrown in flight. Classified in the Telekinesis lineage.

For some veterans's words, 'she has the makings to become a good Commander, with her ability to keep an eye on the whole situation from the rear, and has a good sense of grasping the whole picture'.

Lynette principally uses a Boys Anti-Armor Rifle Mk.I in combat, but switched the muzzle brake to one from a Mk.II, since it's easier to use.
