Edytha Rossman

Edytha Rossman is one of the main characters from the Brave Witches anime and manga.

A veteran Karlslandian Witch, Edytha is a bit of an oddity for one from Karlsland due of her low body count. She suffered a serious illness when she was young which halted her growth. Because of her frail body, she uses a really strategic fighting style which involves making a single decisive blow on the enemy and following with a quick escape, which has granted the status as an ace fighter, though one with a rather low kill-count compared to other Karlsland aces, and a highly-valued instructor. She spends most of her time being a teacher to upcoming Witches, which have included some of the world's top aces like Erica Hartmann.

In the AWA fics, Edytha is a student of the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Edytha has a short stature, she has a shoulder-length silver hair and brown eyes. She wears a dark vest over a light-grey uniform jacket and white blouse, white panties and dark shoes.

Personality
A girl with a cheerful sort of "face forward" personality, her fighting style is the very essence of cleverness. Because her body can't handle the high-speed maneuvers of dog fighting for an extended period of time it was necessary for her to learn a style that married careful observation of the target to a single decisive blow and follow-through escape.

Edytha has a fondness for caviar and often stockpiles a large supply of caviar in the base's food stores. She becomes short tempered if it is wasted fecklessly.

Abilities
A veteran witch with a lengthy military service record. Despite having a confirmed kill count of less than 100 craft, an oddity for a Karlsland Air Force member, her ability is still evaluated as that of a top ace.

Trivia

 * Her familiar is the fox.
 * Her Pilot archetype is Edmund Roßmann. According to her profile in SWII Vol. 3's booklet, her nickname "Paula" is based on the Latin "Paulus," meaning "small." (This also parallels Edmund Roßmann's nickname of "Paule," a male variant.)
