Neuroi: the enemy of humanity that suddenly appeared in 1930s Europe. The only ones who stood up against these Neuroi, which were difficult to destroy with regular weapons, were a group of girls with magical powers known as Witches.

In September 1944, thanks to the efforts of the allied forces and the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, Strike Witches, the Neuroi hive above the Republic of Gallia was destroyed and the safety of Western Europe was secured. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Allies start to devise their resistance tactics for central and Eastern Europe. Setting up base in the Empire of Orussia’s Petersburg, the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing Brave Witches are ordered to sortie.

Shouldering the hopes of humanity, these courageous witches set forth into the cold climate of Eastern Europe.

Daring and resolute, an inspirational militant who will jump in to strike her opponent without thinking about her own safety. Her way of speaking is violent and she’s quick to show her emotions, but she’s honest to the core. Also known as ‘Destroyer.’

Nikka Edvardine Katajainen

Waltrud Krupinski

Voice Actor: Kayo Ishida

She may be the ace of the 502nd Wing, but she’s also a drinker, a womaniser, and a hedonist. Her demeanor and way of speaking is mature for her age. An optimist who’s forever smiling, she doesn’t sweat the small stuff and isn’t bothered when people get angry at her. Krupinski, Kanno, and Nikka are always breaking the striker formation, so the three are known as ‘Break Witches.’

A diligent honours student and quite the worrywart. Trusted with the role of Tactical Commander despite her young age, she feels under more pressure than others and is always trying her hardest.
