Hello, good people of the world. I was amazed at how quickly I've been getting feedback, and someone suggested I do an OC list to help readers have a better understanding of the Wing members and their equipment. So here it is. 33 members. 33 entries. Buckle up.
815th Joint Air Wing Roster
General info on the Wing: The 815th JAW was developed as a derivative of the Joint Fighter Wings from the Second Neuroi War. It follows the same general concept of taking witches from various countries and placing them under a single command, but it widens its scope beyond only fighters. It also contains witches who specialize in ground attack roles, electronic warfare, aerial reconnaissance, and multirole. The Wing is divided up into seven teams, but witches are not confined to interact only with those in their teams, as missions may require witches from different teams to fly together. The Team system is mostly there to help the CO keep tabs on everyone as well as solve petty matters. The teams are:
Eagle Team: Comprising of fighter and multirole witches. Roles are air superiority and strike.
Firebird Team: Comprising of fighter witches. They've also got some of the most powerful abilities in the Wing. Role is air superiority.
Big Bear Team: Comprising of heavy-hitter ground attack witches and a multirole witch. Roles are attack and close air support (CAS).
Espada Team: Comprising of ground attack witches and a multirole witch. Roles are CAS, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), and battle space superiority.
Chimera Team: Comprising of witches and Strikers specializing in stealth combat. Strikers are shaped and painted with a special paint to help evade Neuroi sensors.
Clover Team: Comprising of special support witches. Roles are electronic warfare (EW), SEAD, strike, recon.
Lion Team: Pronounced "Lee-on." Command and Control (C&C) element of the Wing. Comprises of the Commanding Officer (CO), the Executive Officer (XO), and two Operations Officers (Ops-Os). Unofficially includes a Neuroi defector. Roles are C&C and Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C).
The Wing is called "The Musician Witches" because most all of its members can sing and/or play at least one musical instrument. However, since almost half of them are descendants of past witches, they like to joke around and say that it would be more accurate if they were called "The Descendant Witches." Okay, now for the members. We'll go in order by Team and Number.

Skin Tone: White
Eyes: Green
Familiar: Orlov Trotter
Ability: Enhanced Endurance; allows her to remain in the air for extended periods of time, longer than normal. [Orlov Trotter horses were bred for endurance, so that's where I got the idea from]
Bio: Even though she's quite young and in the Navy, she's already seen action against the Neuroi during the ongoing conflict in Western Orussia. During a battle over Kiev, her home city, she and her squadron encountered some particularly nasty Neuroi. During the ensuing air battle, most of the squadron, including the leader and superior officers, were killed. All that was left was her, Ludmila, and a handful of new witches fresh out of flight training. Seeing the others at the end of their limit and beginning to panic, she assumed command, leading these last six members to defend and assist in the evacuation of the civilians. She was only 11, almost 12, at the time. Shocked by the level of death and destruction she witnessed, she now suffers from PTSD, a fact she tries to hide behind a façade of forced happiness and calmness. Because of the PTSD, she has a hard time sharing her feelings, making her something of a tsundere. She often suffers from nightmares and PTSD attacks, and she always has a saddened look in her eyes. In contrast, she is a natural leader despite her age. She's a reasonably good pianist and singer, and she likes Orussian folk songs in particular. Since she cannot smoke, she chews a lot of gum instead, always carrying a pack on her. Her mom, to whom she bears slight resemblance, is Dina Danilovna Denisova, a former witch from the Gulf Neuroi War [See Strike Witches 1991].

Eyes: Amber
Familiar: Black Panther
Ability: Speed Boost; uses it to augment her Typhoon's Mach 2 max speed, and is shooting for Mach 3.
Bio: Her mom, Gabriella, is a former-witch of the Aeronautica Militare, and so was her great-grandmother, Francesca [Gabriella of SW 1991]. Her personality and likeness is derived from these two ancestors; she's speed-obsessed like her mom, and constantly tunes and modifies her Strikers to get more speed out of them; while also possessing the passion and talent for flying as well as the breast fetish of her great-grandma. She's a self-proclaimed "Mammary Connoisseur". She tries to learn from her mother's mistakes and tries not to screw too much with her Typhoon's numerous onboard systems. Or so she thinks. She is good "frivals" (friend-rival) with Lt. Col. Johnson of Clover Team, and they often compete in races around the base. She actually coined the term "frival". She likes to sing and also plays electric and acoustic guitar.

Hair: Mid-back, straight, brown; tied in a ponytail by scrunchies
Skin Tone: Cream-colored
Eyes: Tannish-yellow
Familiar: Iberian Lynx
Ability: Foresight; can predict the near-future[similar to Eila].
Bio: She's an extremely optimistic and outgoing girl who almost always has a smile on her face. If one were told to come up with the ideal best friend, she would come to mind. She's also strikingly beautiful, so much so that there are numerous cases men, boys, and even girls have proposed to her upon first meeting her. She politely turned them all down, being only 14. Any room she walks into suddenly becomes brighter and more cheerful. But give her a weapon and some missiles, and she'll become the last girl you want to piss off. She possesses a level of flying talent that rivals even that of Lt. Juutilainen and Lt. Lucchini, thanks in part to her ability. She also becomes a bit of swearer when in combat. Like her sister Lucy, she's a virtuoso acoustic guitarist. She can sing, and people say she has a great voice, but she doesn't agree. She'll often sing when she's alone or in the shower. Since the Makoa's arrival, she's taken up an interest in ukulele, partially stemming from the fact that she was originally stationed in the Canaries. She is also a skilled soccer player, and often plays with her sister, Capt. Moreau, and Lt. Banderas.

Name: Sakomizu Kaminari
Nationality: Empire of Fuso
Affiliation: FMSDF Air Fighter Squadron 4
Callsign: Eagle 4
Tactical Designator: Pika-don
Rank: Lieutenant Commander [Senior Medical Officer]

LANTIRN Pod – navigation & targeting pod
Age: 16
Birthday: 14 Dec. 1998 [Same day as the remembrance festival of Forty-seven Ronin]
Height: 154cm
Hair: Mid-back, straight, brown; Bangs, ponytail; Baseball-style unit identification cap
Skin Tone: White/Cream
Eyes: Brown; round thick-frame glasses
Familiar: White-tailed Tropicbird
Ability: Magic Healing; accelerates cellular and tissue repair, but if body part is out of place/bone is broken/joint is dislocated, it must be put back into place so wound can properly heal; therefore, it requires the user to have extensive knowledge of the human anatomy.
Bio: She seems to have inherited her great-grandma Haruka's modest and shy personality, and quite possibly her romantic obsession with a member of the Anabuki family; the focus of these sentiments is Makoa. However, her attitude drastically changes when dealing with medical matters or when in combat. In these cases, she drops the timidness and takes on a more mature, focused, and professional persona. She's a master at field dressing wounds, and she even found a way to infuse her bandages and ointments with magic to accelerate the healing process without having to apply the magic directly. She's very conservative about direct healing magic application, as she believes that would take out both her and her patient(s), thereby decreasing her unit's combat effectiveness.
She also has skills in combat and maneuvering, and her favorite tactic, for which she got her Tactical Designation, is to fly in fast, hit hard with gun and missile fire, then speed out to repeat the process. Flash (Pika), Bang (Don), Repeat. When she completes her rotation in the Wing, she plans to become a medical instructor for the FMSDF, training new witch medics and passing on her infusion technique.
She'd met Lt. Clostermann of Big Bear Team, who also has healing powers, during a military exercise; they became good friends since then. She's also good friends with Anko, Makoa's twin sister, and they share a signature greeting wherein they raise a hand without waving it. She shares a love for photography with Lt. Col. Johnson of Clover Team, often seen carrying an old 60s era SX-70 Polaroid Land Camera. She can sing, but she doesn't think she sounds very good. She is also very good on the piano, playing music she hears from various animes and games she watches and plays.

Age: 15
Birthday: 18 May 2000
Height: 156cm
Hair: Waist-length, straight, black; tied in a Buddha Bun
Skin Tone: White/Cream
Eyes: Brown
Familiar: Asian Golden Cat
Ability: Sunlight Strike; can concentrate, manipulate, and discharge magic energy [similar to Francesca Lucchini]; likes to combine her dao sword with her ability for maximum melee damage.
Bio: As an officer, she was offered the standard jian sword, but she opted for a dao instead, preferring its stronger and more aggressive appearance over the jian's (in her opinion) dainty look. She's well-versed in a broadsword-shield style of martial arts. When wielding her dao, she likes to cast a shield on her left arm and engage in aggressive maneuvers to attack with both. Needless to say, she's very energetic and tomboyish in the air and on the ground, but despite this, she's a very good-natured and energetic girl who's just loving the life she's living. Although she hates admitting to it, she can sing and play both the violin and viola. She's more than happy to talk about her breakdancing and beatboxing skills, though.
"Haha! Take this, Neuroi scum!"
Name: Anabuki Anko ("Ack Ack" or "The One-Winged Angel of Fuso")
Nationality: Empire of Fuso
Affiliation: FASDF; 305th Squadron, 7th Air Wing
Callsign: Firebird 1
Tactical Designator: Tomoe Gozen
Rank: Lieutenant Colonel [Flight maneuvers training]
Striker: F-15F (F-15J, but w/ "F" b/c "J" stands for "Japan" and "F" stands for "Fuso") [Air Superiority]

AAM-3 – SRAAM; AAM-5 – SRAAM; AAM-4 – MRAAM; AIM-120 – AMRAAM; GBU-31 – JDAM
Age: 17
Birthday: 8 Dec. 1997
Height: 158cm
Hair: Mid-back, straight, dark brown; styled in same manner as Tomoko's; contacts
Skin Tone: White/Cream
Eyes: Brown; contacts, black thin-frame glasses when not using contacts
Familiar: Japanese Hare
Ability: Advanced Shield Control; allows her to have more control on the size, shape, and position of her shields, even forming forcefields around herself and/or her wingmen; likes to form forcefield on blade, allowing it to easily slice through just about anything.
Bio: She's one of the Anabuki Twins. One day about a year ago, she overheard that a new witch from Liberion bearing her family name just got stationed at NAF Atsugi. Curious, she went over to investigate, finding this rumor to be true. When she told her mother about this, she suddenly got really excited and insisted that she'd be introduced. It was an emotional reunion all around. Long story short, the twins became really close and the parents re-established contact with each other.
Along with her weapons, she equips the family katana, Hizen Osafune, which has been passed down for generations. Her Strikers are the most ornately decorated of the Wing. Her miko uniform has an enlarged Sakura flower out lined in red and white inside, the right wing is painted completely crimson, and the rest of the Strikers are painted in icy hues of blue and white [the "Spirit of the Dragon" JASDF 50th Anniversary paint job].
She earned the crimson wing and the nickname "The One-Winged Angel of Fuso" after a mission in which she took a hit in her right wing, blowing it clean off. Maintaining her composure, she continued flying, completed her mission, and successfully landed despite the extensive damage. When not in combat, she likes to train the others in the Wing on combat maneuvers. Her intensity in training, as well as her overbearingly energetic and amiable attitude earned her another nickname: "Ack Ack", which also coincides with her Britannian initials (AA). She's also a stickler for rules.
She shares a signature handshake with her sister consisting of: a side-five, a backhand-five, then they join their hands by the thumbs to make a bird shape, and finally ending off back to back and holding hands. She can sing, starting on the violin, and now knows the cello and viola. She also picked up ukulele from Makoa.
"We're witches! There's nothing in the world that we can't do!"
"Oh, uh, Makoa, how do you play this note? Chord! Chord, I meant chord."
Name: Makoa Nani Keikilani Koa Anabuki (Makoa – Fearless, Nani – Beauty/Beautiful, Keikilani – Heavenly child, Koa – Warrior)
Nationality: United States of Liberion
Affiliation: US Navy; Strike Fighter Squadron 102 (VFA-102)
Callsign: Firebird 2
Tactical Designator: Manu (Bird)
Rank: Commander [Formation flight and Magic control training]
Striker: F/A-18F Super Hornet [Air Superiority]
Weapons/Equipment: M61A2 Vulcan – 20mm Gatling cannon; M134 Minigun – Gatling gun; M4A1 – Carbine/Assault Rifle; Mk 24 Mod 0 – Sidearm
AIM-9 Sidewinder; AIM-7 Sparrow; AIM-120 AMRAAM
AGM-65 Maverick
Age: 17
Birthday: 8 Dec. 1997
Height: 158cm
Hair: Shoulder-length, straight, dark brown; Parted on the left, held by bobby pins
Skin Tone: Tan [like an average Hawaiian girl tan]; When powering up a beam, magic symbols glow on her firing arm. Both arms are covered in outlines of these symbols, kinda like Hawaiian tattoos. The infected area's symbols have become more hexagonal and circuity-looking. Makoa feels that it's only a matter of time before her skin goes Neuroi, but magic healing therapy and bandages from Kaminari seem to be stalling this outcome.
Eyes: Brown; red square-frame glasses
Familiar: Hawaiian Mongoose
Abilities: Magic Energy Beams; Allows her to shoot powerful beams of magic energy. Similar to Sunlight Strike in that they generate light and heat, but the difference is that physical contact with the target is not required. Beams that come from her right hand are now colored purple (a mixture of her blue magic and red Neuroi energy). Body Regeneration; given to her by Neuroi infection
Bio: The other Anabuki Twin. Mom was a descendant of Tomoko, and dad was a sailor from Hawaii in the US Navy. Anabuki name was kept because of that family's history [believe it or not, this can actually happen in Japan, as the woman spouse's name can be kept if her family's name is more well-known]. But after the birth of the twins, they divorced and lost contact with each other. Dad took Makoa with him back to Hawaii, and she was raised there, completely unaware of her twin sister's existence. They reunited when she was assigned to VFA-102 and stationed in NAF Atsugi.
She discovered her ability in elementary school when she injured a boy who was bullying a friend of hers. Because she entered school at an early age, she was a small kid, so the bully didn't think much of her, so he moved to attack her too, and she threw up her hands to defend herself. She got Neuroi-infected during a battle where she ran out of gun and missile ammo, and she felt she was running low on magic power. But she mustered up as much as she deemed safely possible to shoot a beam, destroying the last of the Neuroi adversaries. As the shards flew, she found she didn't have enough magic to cast a strong enough shield, and she was too exhausted to maneuver. A shard embedded itself in her right forearm.
She's very caring to others, and is very much against bullying. She also gets along great with young kids, and she volunteers at an orphanage off-base. She's well-versed in Hawaiian culture and can speak the language, dance hula, and play ukulele. She also surfs and sings. She used to have a strong Pidgin accent, but 4 years of living in Fuso caused it to mellow out. She can still turn it on occasionally, and she understands and speaks some Fusan. She's a really good barbeque cook, and she knows a lot of Hawaiian food recipes. She's trying to remain optimistic about her infection, but lately, it's been getting hard for her.
She's pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, and she teamed up with a professor of hers to develop an application to the witches' wrist-mounted flight computer that monitors and displays their magic power levels, allowing them to keep closer tabs on it. Since her Neuroi infection was caused in part by not having enough magic, she developed the app with aim of preventing a repeat of her mistakes. So far, she's downloaded this app to her friends in Fuso, and is hoping to do the same for all in the 815th. She was also a former member of the Blue Witches (Blue Angels, pretty much), and helps the other witches in the Wing with formation flying and magic control training.

Name: Dorotea "DJ" Juutilainen
Nationality: Republic of Suomus
Affiliation: Ilmavoimat (Suomus Air Force); No. 31 Squadron

Rank: Luutnantti (Lieutenant)
Striker: F/A-18C Hornet [Air Superiority]

AGM-65 Maverick
Age: 16
Birthday: 21 Feb. 1999
Height: 160cm
Hair: Mid-back, straight, platinum blonde; parted on the left; has a favorite beanie with a pom pom and ear flaps
Skin Tone: White/Pale
Eyes: Violet-Lavender; carries either a pair of retro square sunglasses, sport sunglasses, or pixelated sunglasses
Familiar: Snowy Owl (Female)
Ability: Magic Clones; allows her to make multiple copies of herself, distributing a small portion of magic into each one she makes. Whatever she's carrying/wearing at the time of cloning will also be copied. These clones think, act, and fight independently of the original. Also, any experiences and feelings that the clones get and feel will be transferred back to her when they are dispersed. This can be mentally taxing, as even negative emotions like stress and pain are transferred in.
Bio: Because she is so similar to Eila Juutilainen of the Second Neuroi War, many believed her to be Eila's great-grandmother. But this is only half-true, because she's actually the descendant of Eila's older sister, Aurora [yes, Eila has a sister, and she's a land witch]. She followed in her great-grandaunt's footsteps and joined the Air Force. Flying a Hornet manufactured in Suomus, she displayed a great talent for flying, becoming Suomus's top witch, just like Eila.
Her ability makes her very versatile, allowing her to overwhelm the enemy in battle, summon quick reinforcements, and perform short-range tactical reconnaissance. She also designates her clones with a callsign consisting of "DJ" and a number, with her being "DJ-1." Because of this, others in the Wing sometimes call her "DJ Squadron" and she's taken to the name. When it comes to musical instruments, the more accurate question to ask her is, "What instrument can you NOT play?" She's a fast learner who is really good at playing by ear, and her ability lets her learn and play multiple instruments at once. She is well-known for a "one-witch-band" act, which could mean either marching band, regular band, or both. She mostly likes to play: piano, keyboard, synthesizer, keytar, electric and acoustic guitar, and electric and acoustic bass. She also sings and owns a small "travel-size" guitar that has no head – its tuners on the bottom instead – that she brings around with her [her voice and style is like Tori Kelly]. Finally, she has a thing for pranking others, putting her ability to good use in this aspect. Despite this, she is a good-natured and amiable person with beautiful looks to boot, so nobody stays mad at her if they fall for her pranks.
"What? Me? I didn't do it! It was, uh, *points to a clone* her!"

Age: 17
Birthday: 31 Dec. 1997
Height: 164cm
Hair: Mid-back, straight, silver; Tied in a ponytail by a red ribbon; Garrison cap with Orussian Air Force emblem on it
Skin Tone: White/Pale
Eyes: Yellow; round-frame reading glasses
Familiar: Ural Owl
Ability: Mental Manipulation (Activated by song); allows her to influence the minds of/take mental control over any who hear it. Effect may vary depending on genre and lyrics, and language doesn't seem to be a factor/problem. Normally, whatever she is thinking is transferred over and influences the hearers' thoughts.
Bio: She may be a descendant of Sanya Litvyak, but that doesn't mean she shares her great-grandma's timid personality. She's very outgoing, amicable, and easy to approach, giving off a vibe that you could just trust her. She's got one of those rare and unique smiles, something you might come across only 2 or 3 times in your life. She enjoys classical literature, particularly The Great Gatsby, and likes to quote lines from the works she reads. She's an aspiring literary scholar and hopes to be a literature teacher when she retires.
Initially wanting to join her unit's choir, she decided to join the unit's band instead when her singing audition caused the judges, audience, and everyone present to act strangely. In the band, she learned clarinet and alto saxophone, and she also took up piano, too. She's learned how to utilize her singing in combat, taking over Neuroi and making them fight by her side. Her nickname and tactical designator, Siren, was given to her not only because of this ability, but also because of her looks. Her silver hair and yellow eyes give her a haunting beauty, something that scares and captivates people simultaneously. When she isn't using her magic, her singing can still influence others' thoughts, but to a lesser degree. Her great-grandparents were Sanya and Eila, so DJ is also a cousin of hers. She looks more like Sanya, just with longer hair and different-colored eyes.
*Destroying a Neuroi* "Parting is such sweet sorrow."

Bio: She's a descendant of Amirah Aisyah Sulaiman, who fought alongside the 501st back in the Second Neuroi War. A former member of the RMAF's new aerobatic team, Kris Sakti, she was assigned to 19 Squadron during the time that it was transitioning from MiG-29s to the new JAS-39C Gripens, which suited her energetic and acrobatic flying style well. On the ground, she can be characterized as being just as energetic and upbeat, often being the source of fun and encouragement; she can also be sarcastic and forgetful of certain things. She's also really athletic.
She's a new transfer into the Wing, arriving only days before the last eight from the Far East flew in. She can sing, and play piano, flute, and violin. She can also draw and write stories like her great-grandmother.

Bio: She grew up on her family's sheep farm, and works and lives there during her R&R. Her familiar is even the family's sheepdog, Ada. Her family has a long line of Highland Games champions, which she continues with her ability. However, she is a lovely-looking lass who daily receives at least five love letters from boys and even girls. She's also very studious, and she is currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in physics via an RAF program that allows her to take college classes online. Amiable and outgoing, she can sing and play flute, clarinet, harp, and bagpipes. Her nickname is a pronunciation of her initials (Dee Dee), but others like Lucchini often call her "Double D", partially for her initials and mostly because of her voluminous bust. Needless to say, she's a favorite of Lucchini's. She works hard to try and keep Cdr. Bishop of Chimera Team in line, as they maintain a close friendship [more on this in Bishop's entry]. She's the oldest witch in the Wing.
"Ohoho! More love letters. Oy! This one's from a girl?! Gutsy lass, this one…"

Familiar: Kamchatka Brown Bear
Ability: Ballistic Stabilization; allows her to have limited control over the trajectory of her bullets, rockets, and missiles [similar to Lynette].
Bio: She and Capt. Boudreaux become the team's mascots because of their bear familiars. She can uses one of the heaviest and most powerful guns in the Wing, and although it cannot attain a rate of fire as high as Boudreaux's GAU-8 Gatling, its utilization of the Gast Principle alleviates the need for a spin-up time which allows her to send 3000 rounds-per-minute raining down on unsuspecting foes. It also doesn't need an external power source, making it lighter and easier to maintain. She and Boudreaux become great friends and fierce competitors since they operate Strikers of similar roles. She grew up in an orphanage after her parents went missing when the Neuroi attacked her town. She was the oldest of the kids, so she had to learn how to lead and nurture them, becoming something of a mother figure. When she joined the military, she showed the same behavior towards her subordinates, and it was for this reason that she was assigned an advising position to Dee Dee in Big Bear Team.

Bio: She was born in New Orleans, specifically in the Gallian Quarter (French Quarter?), but her father's business required them to go to California, so they moved to Sacramento when she was about 3. This is why she has a grizzly bear for a familiar. She and Lt. Mijasik are Big Bear Team's mascots, and they like to compete in many things [wait, I already said this…]. Despite having moved at such a young age, she and her family stuck to their Cajun roots. She knows all of her family's Cajun food recipes, and her beignets rival that of Café Du Monde [the place with the best beignets ever]. She loves Jazz and Blues music, and she can play all types of saxophones. She's looking to apply to Grambling State University and join their marching band. She also has an interest in the supernatural. She's generally good-natured, hospitable, and energetic, and she likes to throw her all into a task.

Hair: Shoulder-length, wavy, brown; Platinum blonde highlights
Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Sea Green
Familiar: Ferret
Ability: Telekinesis; allows her to move objects without directly touching them
Bio: She had an older sister, but she was killed along with her father in the 9/11 Neuroi attack on New York City. Her sister had just finished her semester studying abroad in the US, and she and her father planned to fly back together after spending time in New York City. Their plane was shot by a Neuroi weapon that Neuroified the craft, and then it plummeted into the Twin Towers. Juliet was only a few months old at the time, so she never knew her sister or father, being raised by her mother who couldn't bring herself to remarry. She is ambitious and self-confident, never once doubting herself or her equipment. She can be a little bit of an overachiever, which explains her high rank despite being only 14. In contrast to this, she tries hard to get along well with others, and even sets her romantic sights on her wingman, Lt. Clostermann. Her DEFA 552 cannons have a selective fire switch, allowing her to switch between 1800 rpm for air-to-air combat and 1200 rpm for ground attack. She can sing and is skilled with mallet percussion instruments; she arranged for a xylophone to be brought with her from home. By extension, she also has some skill in the piano. Her home unit, the 17 Flotille, is the last of the Super Étendard units, as the Strikers are to be retired in 2016.

Height: 155cm
Hair: Upper back-length, wavy, blonde
Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Hazel; wears a pair of round thin-frame glasses
Familiar: Ferret
Ability: Magic Healing; accelerates cellular and tissue repair, but if body part is out of place/bone is broken/joint is dislocated, it must be put back into place so wound can properly heal; therefore, it requires the user to have extensive knowledge of the human anatomy. She can also use her magic to perform body scan on the patients to look for internal injuries and diseases.
Bio: She is a descendant of Perrine, and her mother Rosalie was a test-pilot for the Rafale A back in 1991. Both of these women were Addy's role models and inspirations for joining the military as a witch. Growing up in the lap of the nobility due to the Clostermann name, she developed a very proper and refined attitude, often looking down upon the lesser-refined habits of her fellow Wing mates. Aside from this, she's generally good-natured, graceful, elegant, and caring. She's slightly bothered over the fact that her superior officer, Juliet Lemay, is younger than her (by about 4 months). However, she remains loyal and respectful to her, and they maintain a close friendship, but she remains unaware of Juliet's romantic feelings toward her. She loves the medical field and is proficient in the human anatomy, a skill she shares with her best friend Kaminari from Eagle Team. She enjoys listening to music ranging from classical to EDM, she can play piano, and she sings to her patients to keep them calm. Whenever she is treating injuries, she talks like a doctor or a paramedic.
"Hey, Lt. Cdr. Lemay, why are you staring at me like that…..?" *blushes*

Bio: Growing up in the Alsace region of Gallia, Raina is a huge nature lover and an avid hiker. She's always been far away from the ocean, and so she gets overly excited whenever anything about it is mentioned around her. Other than that, she's curious, adventurous, and never above taking risks; she's made it her personal goal to scale every continent's highest peaks. She's the Wing's best marksman and has never missed a shot, whether it's bullet, rocket, bomb, or missile, even when not using her ability. For this, she often helps with weapons training. She also likes to play soccer with the Guerrera sisters and Lt. Banderas.

Bio: If she and Kaminari weren't born to different families, the popular assumption that they are twins would've been true, as their similarities in appearance, age, and birthday have led many to believe so. In truth, they are childhood friends who've been together since grade-school. She used to have a huge crush on Lt. Col. Anabuki Anko, but it died out after she realized the hopelessness of such a relationship. However, she's more than willing to assist Kaminari in her own "blue-on-blue engagement" [If you know what I mean wink, wink, nudge, nudge]. She's open-hearted, supportive, and obedient, maintaining a staunch loyalty to her leader, Capt. Moreau. She can sing quite well and also did a brief stint in a Taiko drum ensemble and another in a Fusan traditional instrument ensemble. Aside from Taiko drums, she can play shamisen, koto, and shakuhachi..

Bio: She's a descendant of Duchess Maria of Romagna, and therefore comes from a noble family. Her older sister is the Head of State of the Principality of Romagna, but she herself is the first witch to come out of this family. A lot of expectation is placed on her because of this fact, and she always strives to do her best. Having been raised in noble luxury, she takes on that same persona – calm, collected, graceful, and elegant. However, underneath this nature hides an outgoing and adventurous nature; the ground never seemed to be enough for her, and she always loved to fly. She's also very open to affection, and she regularly kisses her fellow witches on their cheeks. She's very close friends with Myah Lucchini, and she also gives piano lessons to Gracie Bishop of Chimera Team. She herself is a skilled pianist who especially loves classical piano pieces, and she can also sing.

Age: 16
Birthday: 23 April 1999
Height: 154cm
Hair: Waist-length, wavy, brown; Parted on the right, braided ponytail down the back; Gaucho hat
Skin Tone: Light Bronze; wears a tan bandana around the neck, sometimes covering mouth and nose
Eyes: Brown
Familiar: New Karlslander Dogo (Argentine Dogo)
Ability: Grant Magic Power; allows her to charge magic energy into her shots, rockets, bombs, and missiles to increase their effectiveness [similar to Lynette].
Bio: As the Neuroi conflicts north of New Karlsland escalate, the nation's government decided to send witches out to Europe to gain combat experience in preparation for possible Neuroi advances into their borders, just like what happened to the Falkland Islands back in the 1980s. Sofía Banderas was one of these witches. Coming from a family of gauchos, she possesses the traits often associated with them: strong, honest, silent, proud, and capable of great violence when provoked. Since her Strikers are of a lighter frame, she cannot carry any wing-mounted munitions, opting for hand-carried weapons. She has the largest handheld arsenal of any witch in the Wing. On top of this, she also carries a facón, and uses it in combat or as an eating utensil when not. When she retires, she plans to return to the Pampas and work with her family once more. Despite her rough-around-the-edges demeanor, she's actually quite the beauty, and her mother is a veteran of Falkland Islands Conflict. She passes the time playing guitar, singing, or playing soccer with the Guerrera sisters and Capt. Moreau; however, of the four, her freestyle is unrivaled.

Ability: Sturm; allows her to manipulate gusts of ether to attack enemies, divert attacks, and execute special flight maneuvers [similar to Erica Hartmann].
Bio: She's a 3rd generation Fusan-Liberian whose grandparents immigrated to SF back in 1967. Despite her age, she's the shortest of the Wing, rising to a mere 127 cm (4' 2"). Many would expect her to develop a little-man's complex, but she's always been more of the expressionless sleepy type, so she really doesn't care about it much. She does love hitching rides on the taller witches' shoulders, as this was an activity she enjoyed with her dad since childhood; she particularly enjoys riding atop Cdr. Bishop's shoulders, as she's the tallest in Chimera Team. A rare treat for her is when she gets to ride on Capt. Daigneau's or Lt. Col. Guerrera's shoulders, as they are the tallest in the Wing. Despite her faults, she's a worthy leader and her subordinates love and respect her; she's also really smart and got the best grades in school. She has Rubik's Cubes of various sizes and shapes, and also has a funny habit of running her hand down the length of her hair.
She's a huge baseball fan, and her favorite team is the SF Giants [Of course!]. She wears their baseball cap and even has a bat autographed by the entire team from the 2014 World Series. She's a sucker for SF food like Dungeness crab, Crab Sandwiches, Clam Chowder in Sourdough bread bowls, and Sourdough bread. She also tends to fall asleep wherever, and there have been way too many occasions where she fell asleep on Cdr. Bishop's head. The quickest way to wake her up? Tickle her. She's really ticklish, and will wake up instantly. She can sing and play oboe and bassoon.
"Multiple bandits dead ahead. *Yawns* Alrighty, girls, let's wrap this up. I'm due for a nap."

Height: 160cm
Hair: Mid-back, straight, tan-blonde [same color as Lynette's]; Ponytail held by white or yellow ribbons, slightly charred black baseball cap, turns the hat backwards going into combat
Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Grayish-blue
Familiar: Montagu's Harrier
Ability: Optical Camouflage; allows her to turn nearly invisible to the naked eye, leaving only a shimmering ethereal silhouette. This ability is relatively new and rare, and helped her out of many tight situations, both in combat and when she was on the streets.
Bio: Growing up to strong Christian parents, she had a great life and used to be a huge social butterfly. But on the 7th of July, 2005, just a week after her 7th birthday, she saw the violent death of her parents and little brother at the hands of Neuroi-mind-controlled suicide bombers [there actually was a terrorist bombing of the London Underground on July 7, 2005]. The attack left her with a burn scar on most of the right side of her face and over her right eye. After that, she roamed the streets as an orphan, getting into all sorts of trouble; it was here she learned how to toughen up be self-dependent. Then, at the age of 10, she was caught trying to steal from Donna Duffy, who was a Flight Sergeant living in London at the time. After giving her quite a walloping, Dee Dee showed compassion towards her and took her in. Gracie then cleaned up her act and joined the FAA at age 11, much to Dee Dee's disappointment. Finding purpose in her life once more, she ambitiously rose through the ranks, finally attaining her current rank.
She's the great-granddaughter of Lynette Bishop from the Second Neuroi War, and like her great-grandmother, she is quite cute despite the scar. Because of her hard past, she can be hard to approach, and she tends to separate herself from groups, preferring time alone. To remember her family, she wears her mother's hair ribbons, her dad's hat, and, whenever she's off-duty, a jacket of her brother's. She also is known to quote Bible verses whenever she is in combat. Aside from taking piano lessons from Rosalina, she also learned how to play harmonica from an elderly beggar she acquainted from her days on the street. She likes to play and beatbox into it at the same time. She can also sing. A favorite strategy of hers is to go invisible, sneak in close, and fire her rifle at point-blank.

Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Honey; Glow purple when ability is active
Familiar: Snow Leopard
Ability: Magic Eyes (Both eyes; Manually activated); allows her to see things from very far off and in a dimension normal eyesight can perceive [similar to Mio Sakamoto]. Combining this with her Strikers' on-board sensors, she can see through clouds, structures, and even total darkness.
Bio: She comes from a family of immigrants from Mongolia, and she's quite connected with these roots. Her mother, Natalia, was a witch during the Gulf Neuroi War of 1991. Her mother doesn't talk much about it though since she didn't see much action. But pictures of her all decked out in her uniform with MiG-29 Strikers and weapons equipped inspired Vera enough to join the Air Force, too. Initially assigned to fly Su-27s with the 611th Regiment, she displayed so much skill that she was selected to field-test the new PAK FA T-50. She'd taken to calling her Strikers after her tactical designator, Garid, which was also the name of Gengis Khan's pet eagle. Because the T-50 has no official name yet, and because she flies them so skillfully, there's talk going around that Sukhoi might adopt "Garid" as the T-50's official name. She has a modest personality, and she generally doesn't like to toot her own horn, even though she could, given her achievements. She doesn't talk much, but she's an attentive listener; she also likes to quote Shakespeare with Lidiya. She can sing, overtone, play the morin khuur, cello, and double bass.

Skin Tone: White/Cream

Familiar: Golden Pheasant (Male)
Ability: Magic Telepathy; allows her to communicate with others through their minds. It kinda works like a two-way walkie talkie in that whoever she's communicating with can also send thought-messages back to either her or another person in the group.
Bio: She's a descendant of Zhu Xifeng from the 522nd JFW "Citadel Witches" [an OC from BookmarkAHead]. As another witch in the Zhu lineage, she was expected to do them proud in service to the country like her ancestors before her. Acknowledging this, she strove to be the best she could be, first as a member of the ROCAF's 81st Aerobatics Team and then by flying China's new J-20 stealth Strikers. An accident during training with the J-20 left her mute, and the high brass considered honorably discharging her, but seeing as how she was still able to communicate via telepathy and sign language, they opted to let her stay in. She's well-versed in Taijijian, swordsmanship taught within the Taijquan style of martial arts, and her sword is infused with magic, making her a dangerous melee adversary. She's the Wing's best violinist. Since telepathy uses up magic, she usually communicates via sign language whenever she's on the ground; and since Ensign Meifeng is the only person in the Wing who could understand sign language, Lijuan sticks close to her. The two have built up a friendship because of this.

Familiar: Red Panda
Ability: Illusion Decoy; allows her to cast a decoy that will cause the enemy to focus attacks on it instead of her. Decoy has limited autonomy – it can move around, but it can't fire back – and seven-eighths of any damage it absorbs will be reflected back to the inflictor while the remaining eighth will be given to her as magic energy.
Bio: She doesn't talk much and is extremely shy, so no one knows much about her except for Lijuan. She's a new witch fresh out of flight school, and she's yet to gain any experience or show any skills in battle. Despite flying new J-31s, she's not very confident in her capabilities, and she thinks her magic ability is weird. She's the only one who can understand sign language, so she accompanies 1st Lt. Zhu to help her relay messages, conversations, and orders from her, and it is because of this that she found a friend in her leader. As an officer, she equips a jian sword, but it has less infused magic than the 1st Lieutenant's. She can sing and play piano and cello.

Name: Kelly C. Johnson
Nationality: United States of Liberion
Affiliation: US Air Force; 1st Reconnaissance Squadron
Callsign: Clover 1
Tactical Designator: Habu
Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
Striker: SR-71A Blackbird [Aerial Recon/Long-Range Air Combat]
Weapons/Equipment: M4A1 – Carbine; Colt RO635 SMG – SMG; H&K MP7A1 – SMG; Glock 19 – Sidearm; Canon EOS Rebel T6i – Digital SLR Camera; Bag full of various lenses and accessories. Her Rebel T6i has a 24.2 megapixel resolution, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and can take videos. The Wi-Fi feature allows her to send her photos and videos to her computer or the Wing's data banks in real-time.
AIM-54 Phoenix – LRAAM; AIM-152 AAAM – LRAAM
Malcolm Horizon – Peripheral Vision Horizon Display; Malcolm Horizon is an apparatus that shines a line that keeps with the horizon, no matter which way she is looking/pointing; this allows her to keep track of where she's heading altitude-wise while concentrating on other matters.
Age: 18
Birthday: 13 Oct 1996; Ishpeming, Michigan
Height: 162cm
Hair: Neck-length, straight, blonde; Bangs are held back by black hairband, slightly messy [similar to Ritsu Tainaka from K-ON]
Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Brown
Familiar: Peregrine Falcon
Abilities: Magic Eyes (Both eyes; Manually activated); allows her to see things from very far off and in a dimension normal eyesight can perceive [similar to Mio Sakamoto]. Combining this with her Strikers' on-board sensors, she can see through clouds, structures, and even total darkness. Magic Telepathy; allows her to communicate with others through their minds. It kinda works like a two-way walkie talkie in that whoever she's communicating with can also send thought-messages back to either her or another person in the group. She can also beam mental data she gathers to the other witches' minds in real-time.
Bio: With the Neuroi holding space supremacy, humanity is unable to deploy a satellite network to perform tracking and reconnaissance roles, so we made up for it by keeping a steady network of AWACS aircraft in the air. To supplement the AWACS network, witches and Strikers specializing in the reconnaissance roles are also called upon to fly missions. Kelly is one such witch flying one such Striker Unit: the Blackbird. The Blackbird is the fastest and highest-flying machine to ever grace the legs of a witch, making her the fastest witch in the Wing. She's constantly fighting to keep Lucchini from stealing this title, though, and by the looks of things, it seems she might be getting close. She nicknamed her Striker "Yeager" after Charlotte Yeager.
She's a skilled engineer and an amazing leader who's pursuing a Master's Degree in Systems Engineering; seeing the combat potential of a Striker like hers, she got together with a team of engineers from Lockheed's Skunk Works and modified her Strikers to carry LRAAMs internally. She's very perceptive and has extensive knowledge of every known type of Neuroi; she can recognize one by its shape and size, and then list out its general characteristics such as speed, maneuverability, roles, and firepower. Combining this with her abilities, she can spot and name enemy units from far off, then relay the info via telepathy to her Wing mates.
She's loves photography, a hobby she shares with Kaminari from Eagle Team. Some may think that her abilities make her use of a camera redundant, but she objects to that assumption, asserting that telepathic messages can fade like old memories, while pictures and videos can last forever. She brings her camera along to gather data on Neuroi for the Wing's data banks for future reference. She also likes to take photos and videos of scenery and witches for a photo album she maintains for the Wing. She sings and plays stringed Folk instruments like harp, lyre, banjo, resonator guitar, lute, mandolin, and fiddle.
"Sorry, Lucchini, but even your modifcations and powers can't compare to my Blackbird's sheer awesomeness!"
"3, 2, 1, look for the Birdy!"

AN/ALE-43 – Bulk Chaff Dispenser pod
AN/AAQ-28 LITENING – targeting pod
Age: 17
Birthday: 24 April 1998; Flagstaff, Arizona
Height: 161cm
Hair: Neck-length, straight, platinum blonde; bobbed haircut, also wears a trucker cap
Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Sky Blue; owns a pair of aviators and sport sunglasses
Familiar: Abert's Squirrel
Ability: Illusion Manipulation; allows her to manipulate what the target can and cannot see. It works similar to Mental Manipulation and Illusion Decoy in that it can influence a target's thoughts and casts decoys. The main differences are that it cannot take control of targets' minds and anything aimed at a decoy will simply phase right through. Great for pranks and scare-tactics.
Bio: She's a second-generation Suomi-Liberian who was born soon after her parents immigrated into the US. She was born and spent a good portion of her childhood in Flagstaff, but her dad's job moved them to Alexandria, Virginia, when she was around 6. Living in Liberion all her life, she's picked up the behavior characteristic of the country, particularly the Southern type, and she even has a Southern drawl in her voice. As a second-gen immigrant, she's had to deal with finding that balance between her Suomi and Liberian cultures, striking up a whole identity for herself; she's had no shortage of "2nd-Gen problems" unique only to a certain few. Her parents often fear that she's becoming too "Liberian-ized" and has lost all connection to their roots, but she tells them that this is not the case.
As a descendant of Nikka Katajainen, Kathleen has inherited her tomboyish behavior, generous bust, and high accident rate. Her tomboyish nature spurred her to join the USMC, as she believes that they are the toughest of all military branches [which they are, of course!]. Her bust also makes her another favorite of Lucchini's. Because of the amount of times she's wrecked her Strikers, she spends a lot of time in the hangars with the ground crew, earning her the ignoble title of "Hangar Queen." Nevertheless, she remains cheerful and good-natured, often assisting the mechanics in repairing her Striker, which has led her to have intimate knowledge of its inner workings. This has piqued her interest in Engineering, which she hopes to pursue after retirement. Her tactical designator was given to her as the result of her constantly being a scapegoat for DJ's various pranks, as the two often work together in these escapades. Despite everything stacked against her, she remains optimistic and continuously trains to improve her skills as a witch. She can sing and play the trumpet, cornet, and bugle. She and Dee Dee often alternate weekly rotations for the morning call, with Dee Dee playing her bagpipes and Kathleen on her bugle. She's also a really good baker, and her biscuits are to die for.
"Another wreck, huh. Guess Ah'll be working with the hangar boys again."

Birthday: 31 July 1999; Berlin, Karlsland
Height: 158cm
Hair: Neck-length, wavy, blonde, tips dyed lime-green; parted on the right
Skin Tone: White/Fair
Eyes: Violet
Familiar: Karlsland Shepherd (German Sheperd)
Ability: Magic Antennae (three prongs appear in the fashion of a tiara); allows her to detect objects from far off and interact with radio waves. She can detect Neuroi before the Neuroi can see her [similar to Sanya and basically all the Night Witches].
Bio: She grew up in the ghetto portion of Berlin in a very liberal family. Her parents and older sister believed that the Neuroi actually came in peace and that humanity attacked first, being the cause of all these conflicts and wars. They believed that the true villains are the world's militaries and governments, who are using these wars and conflicts as a huge war-profiteering scam. They carried themselves as such, having a great disrespect and disregard to authority. They even tried to hide Mariela's powers from the government to prevent her from being drafted. Unlike them and the rest of her neighborhood, Mariela herself didn't buy into all that malarkey, being drawn towards the military services thanks to her huge sense of adventure and wanderlust. So when she announced her intention to join the Luftwaffe, her family disowned her and she was driven out of the neighborhood. After she left with only a backpack of belongings, she went straight to a recruitment office and enlisted. Unfortunately, her family's disregard for authority has rubbed off on her, and she is a huge rebel who is not above breaking rules and regulations. She only joined with intention of fighting Neuroi and seeing the world, anyway. She despises everything her family stands for, but deep down within, she misses them sorely and wants to reconnect or at least change their point of view. She can sing and play the drums, and she is never seen without a pair of drumsticks on her person.
"Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to. Which with any luck will never come true."

Age: 15
Birthday: 6 June 2000; Camden, Maine
Height: 158cm
Hair: Shoulder-length, curly, brown; parted on the left
Skin Tone: White/Fair; light freckling
Eyes: Hazel
Familiar: Whitetail Deer
Ability: Elemental Manipulation; allows her to control the ambient temperature, heating or cooling it at will. This lets her shoot streams of fire or ice from her hands and fingers. It consumes less magic power than Magic Beams, but is less powerful. She has a tendency to loose elemental outbursts when she sneezes, is sick, or when her allergies are aggravated.
Bio: As the descendant of a long line of lobster fishers, she was initially expected to continue the family tradition and work aboard the family trawler. But when her powers manifested at the age of 6, she was encouraged towards military service as a witch, enlisting at the early age of 9. She promised her parents and five sisters that she would stay safe and alive through to retirement so that she can take up the reins and captain the trawler. For this reason, she became an electronic warfare witch to try to avoid dangerous direct combat. The last to come out of a set of sextuplets, she's a very family-oriented person who's caring and easy to approach.
She's a really good cook with a specialty in lobster dishes, and she was taught all of her family's lobster recipes; she just hasn't been told what the "secret ingredient" is. She's also good at cooking other seafood recipes, and is trying to expand her cooking horizons beyond seafood. She often uses Katajainen as a taste-tester for new recipes. A proud "Mainah" through and through, she's got a strong Maine accent and loves to snowboard. She also loves LL Bean products, and wears a jacket and a pair of boots from them whenever she's off-duty. She can sing and play trombone, trumpet, and French horn (Gallian horn?).
"Ayuh! Roger that!"
"If you think my lobster's good, you should try my dad's. He actually knows the secret ingredient….."

Ability: Magic Antennae (Antennae in same fashion as Sanya's); allows her to detect objects from far off and interact with radio waves. She can detect Neuroi before the Neuroi can see her [similar to Sanya and basically all the Night Witches].
Bio: Her interest in the military began young, and she enlisted as a witch at the age of 10. She's actually a recent graduate from the Gallian Navy's officer training school, so the 815th JAW is her first command; she often looks to Kleinheyer her XO for advice, guidance, and support. Growing up in Bordeaux, her family has a well-established history in computer science and technology, and her younger sister is a witch in the Research & Development department of the military. She herself is a big tech-wizard and is also well-read in the sciences; when she found out about Makoa and her skills in computer programming, she arranged to have her be part of the 815th. She uses her ability to augment her E-2C's far-reaching radar dish, on which she painted a hypnotizing swirl pattern. This ability-radar combination rivals that of the E-3s, E-767s, and A-50s that fly the AWACS network. She acts motherly towards her subordinates and is generally good-natured, open-hearted, slow to anger, and level-headed. Everyone in the Wing loves, respects, and supports her. Her role model is Minna-Dietlinde Wilke. She can also sing and play violin.

Ability: 3D Space Understanding; allows her to perceive and discern all units in every direction, sorting out numbers, position, types, and whether or not they're friendly. Can work like a transponder, guiding witches back home from sorties [similar to Minna].
Bio: Going from the CO of her last unit to the XO of the Wing was a little hard on her at first, but she has come to respect her position and her CO. Since she's had experience leading a unit, she's more than happy to provide bits of advice and encouragement to Maia. Gertrud Barkhorn is a huge role model to her, as Barkhorn was a former leader of her home unit. It is thanks to her that she likes to carry heavy loadouts during sorties. She's one of the few witches in the Wing to carry a rocket launcher as a handheld weapon. She can sing and play piano, flute, piccolo, and violin. She's often tasked with protecting Daigneau in flight.

Bio: She possesses the same striking beauty as her sister Bella, just with a softer smile and a bigger chest. While sister's smile is bright like a sunray, hers is more peaceful-looking, like a look of relaxed contentment. She's also more mature, as an elder sister should be. Because of her more serious and soft-spoken demeanor, she's a little harder to approach than her sister, getting more "secret admirer" letters than open confessions of love. She's a virtuoso guitarist and singer, which inspired her sister to become the same. They also like to play soccer together with Capt. Moreau and Lt. Banderas from Espada Team. Their fans and followers like to stack up their attributes against each other to try and see who the better sister is, but in actuality, the two are very close with one another, and they never seriously compete with each other. They like to call themselves "Lucibella" when they're together. Her job in the Wing is to head up combat operations whenever Daigneau or Kleinheyer aren't flying with them.

Skin Tone: Dark brown; Red bandana tied around neck
Eyes: Blue
Familiar: Bobcat
Ability: Tonnerre; basically, she can shoot lightning [similar to Perrine]. She never cares to fix her hair whenever she uses it, so it remains messy.
Bio: She's the youngest of three children to Annie Wrightman, a veteran of the Gulf Neuroi War. Since she was assigned to a weapons training squadron, she's never gotten to see any real combat. However, she's gotten some of the highest marks for marksmanship and ordnance deployment, so she handles weapons training to help the others in the Wing sharpen these skills. She was also placed in charge of heading up all of the training operations. Capt. Daigneau is thankful for this, as she believes that the overall quality of the Wing will improve with her guidance and wit.
Even though she grew up in the city, she's a big outdoorsy type and loves to hike and walk through natural environments. Living in the city has given her a tough, witty, and street-smart attitude, but she's also amiable and easy to get along with. Just don't ask her to rap or talk to her about New Jersey, though, 'cause would be detrimental to your health. She's into blues and jazz, a quality she shares with Boudreaux of Big Bear. She can sing and play drums, likes dancing, and also took up piano. Best friends with a Romagnan-Liberian family who owns a pizza joint down her street. They treat her and her family as family, and they insist she call them "Aunty", "Uncle", and "Cousins".

Eyes: Red visual processors
Familiar: N/A
Abilities: Neuroi regeneration; Enhanced research sensors
Bio: When the Invasion Fleets – what humans regarded as "Super Hives" – began descending upon Earth back in the human years of 1944-45, it was activated to observe and record the planet's military might so that the Neuroi may learn of their weaknesses and develop tactics to exploit these. It took particular interest in the flyers humanity calls "Witches", and it recorded many in action and off duty, eventually emulating their figure.
It was soon assigned to the experimentation branch of the Research Unit, operating and brainwashing many captured witches; the process was extremely excruciating on the subjects. During one such operation, the subject reached out and touched it, using mental manipulation magic to try and prevent her demise. At that instant, it experienced something few Neuroi experienced before: emotions. It felt her fear, despair, hatred, anger, everything. It hit it so hard and so suddenly that it could not continue the procedure. After this, it gained a personality and wished for no more atrocities to be done to the humans, but no other Neuroi shared its views.
Viewed as defective, it was slated for "forceful deactivation", but it escaped and fled from its hive. It was subsequently tracked down and attacked by other Neuroi. Since it looked and fought like witch – the forcefield projectors gave it the appearance of casting shields – other witches flew to its assistance. They were very surprised when they saw what the Neuroi were attacking. Offering its extensive knowledge of all things Neuroi, it requested to fly back with its witch rescuers/captors to their home base. Upon learning of the existence of Neuroi infections, it has since begun work on finding ways to cure them, and it also has become an unofficial member of Lion Team.
Though it knows and understands Britannian, its voice sounds robotic and cute [like Portal turrets or Curiosity Core]. The personality it gained is similar to the witch that touched it: curious, semi-compassionate, and mischievous. It enjoys listening to what humans call "EDM", and it "sing".
So, there you have it. The 815th JAW "Musician Witches". 32 witches and a Neuroi defector. Something I must point out: the witches cannot carry everything listed in the Weapons/Equipment sections, their loadout depends on the type of mission and what they prefer to carry. Also, Zhu Lijuan's family name and Neuroi defector credit goes to BookmarkAHead. That guy's awesome. You should go check him out if you already haven't.
Update: New member added. If you're wondering why there's a fifth Firebird member. Just couldn't let go of the Gripen. I always feel like the Typhoon, Gripen, and Rafale form the greatest aircraft trio ever. So I thought, "What the heck? Let's throw in a Gripen witch." She's a descendant of an OC from Colonel AmiruddinArifSulaiman.
Ok. I'm done.
