Waltrud Krupinski

Waltrud Krupinski is one of the main characters from the Brave Witches anime and manga.

Waltrud is a veteran ace of the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, originating from Karlsland and attached with the Karsland Air Force. She is referred to as Earl and Countess to her friends.

Her familiar is the Weimaraner.

In the Heroes Coalitions fics, Waltrud is a member of the Heroes Coalitions as a trainee.

Appearance
Waltrud is a tall young woman with a short, boyish dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears a black uniform jacket over a light-grey blouse, light-grey pantyhose, brown boots and a dark-blue Panzer hat.

Personality
Tall, slender, and elegant, she has earned the nickname "Countess". She is also a hard-drinking womanizer and a hedonist with an easygoing and optimist personality. Brave and energetic. Despite her dauntless dog-fighting skill and sure marksmanship, her tendency to discard personal safety in favor of lining up for the attack rather than waiting means that she damages an unusually large number of Striker Unit, often making emergency landings under enemy fire.

Abilities
Her inherent magic is called Magic Boost (Majikkubūsuto). It's releasing magical powers at once, she can instantaneously get super acceleration, but it's rarely used because it places a heavy burden on the unit.

Trivia

 * Waltrud is based off Prussian-born German ace Walter Krupinski who, similar to Waltrud, was nicknamed Graf Pinski (Count Pinski) due to his Prussian origins.


 * As a canonical womanizer, Krupinski technically becomes the first canonical and open lesbian franchise's character whose sexuality is portrayed openly and not implied or depicted ambiguously.
