Waltrud is one of Karsland's veteran aces. Self-claimed "Countess", she is a hard-drinking hedonist and womanizer, but generally easygoing. She has a tendency to discard personal safety to line up her attacks, causing her to get into many crashes. Even so, she has a fairly lengthy military history and has the skills to be considered one of the top aces of Karsland.

In the XP4 fics, Waltrud debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Brave Witches.
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.
