Re: Perrine H Clostermann | Strike Witches

[lightning_strike]

Personality: Perrine is both very aggressive in her needs as well as being emotionally scarred from the impact of her homeland being taken over. She is one of those types that is a prim and proper lady, clinging to her old habits of being a noble before the war began, and yet she knows better than anyone how hard war is on her people and on herself. Perrine feels like there is a need to hide and bottle up her true feelings behind a facade of aggressiveness. She is the straight man, the one who acts like a jerk to the lead character while being a consummate professional. Basically she is one of the few characters who act like a actual soldier in the team of crazy people.

Despite this, she is also a very passionate and loyal person, able to stick things out through to the end even with a little proper motivation. She is one of those people who once you earn her trust, she will become your friend for life and nothing short of death would tear her away from that friendship. Joining the Strike Witches has been a blessing for her mental state, as its overall mix of lax and extra training has given her focus, especially when it involves Mio Sakamoto.

Perrine has a deep affection for Mio, and values her friendship as well as any praise she can earn from her. It is hard to say if it is love or strong admiration, but it is also one of those things that can't be quantified into words. She tends to get jealous of anyone who becomes close to Mio, either by association or being 'favored' by the elder witch, and she considers slights on her honor to be one of those things that becomes unforgivable to a point. Having a professional attitude which may distance her from people, but at the same time give her a strong affection to regulation and rules, something that she has also been known to disregard at times when her emotions rule her head. She however prefers to be in a good position with people she cares for, and those who she can call close friends becomes some of her favourite people to be around.

Regarding people who aren't part of her immediate group, she can be a little colder, a little more distant. But at the same time she is a little more nervous around them, unwilling to get too close at the drop of a hat. She treats everyone equally despite this, not looking down unless they have done something to make her upset. At times she feels like she will be caught up in endless shenanigans, and is a hard worker because of this. She feels like there is something more than they can do than just loaf around in between attacks, and Perrine isn't adverse to a little hard work at times. Accepting help is also something for her to get used to, but knows the value of her comrades and friends at the same time.

Other: Being a witch, Perrine hosts considerable magical power between the age of 10 and up to about 20. In combat, she is able to move at a quick pace, using her magic to shield herself, as well as augment her strength and speed. Her special magic is known as a lightning strike, an ability she doesn't use often because it "messes up her hair". However she knows not to hold back in battle, and will defend people to the end.

She is also a skilled duellist with rapier, and uses blade spells as demonstrated in season 2, but not to the extent of Mio Sakamoto, her senior and crush. She also feels like she needs to prove herself to the others as well, to make sure that Mio sees the best side of herself, in an attempt to garner praise to help herself perform even better. As a witch from a noble family, she has access to many spells and records from over the centuries, but she has also not performed anything special other than her lightning strike spell outside of combat. Her familiar is the Chartreux which manifests itself as a tail and cat ears, giving her the appearance of a cat girl. She also holds the rank of Flying Officer and her affiliations are both the Free Gallia Air Force 602 and the 501st Joint Fighter Wing.

First Person (entry type): Given the community's disposition to make things show up on anything, I've decided to write this down. In the dark, and by candlelight with a fountain pen.

Stop bothering me community. I know you're doing it, all the time. Showing my training with Major Sakamoto, showing my arguments with the other members, s-s-showing me in the bath...! The line has to be drawn somewhere, and I don't know if you're actually paying attention to me!

If this is what the world is like, in 2012 instead of 1944 then I want out of it. You keep intruding on my life, and I don't want to know that in another world I was a man named Pierre, no! Whoever showed me that Wikipedia link needs to get over themselves!

With any luck, this won't be written down in the community. If it is, I intend on not doing anything important other than sorties for the next month and a half. Do I make myself clear?

Third Person: Perrine sighed as she leaned back in her chair. She wanted to talk to Yoshika after that last sortie, tell her it was okay and that she did a good job. But her usual aggravation towards her wingmate made her regret her decision to do so. It wasn't like she didn't appreciate Yoshika's efforts for being an untrained rookie, she just, well...

Flopping onto her bed, she sighed. "Major Sakamoto... why do you persist on giving her so much attention?"

The complaint came out in a half-whine, and Perrine buried her head in her sheets. No, no, she was being silly. There wasn't anything wrong with a rookie learning from a superior officer, it was just, well, Yoshi-- Perrine caught herself -- Miyafuji was just too naive. She didn't know how a lot of things worked. She was a crude, country bumpkin.

At least that was what she was telling herself at least as she rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. "Maybe I'm doing this all wrong..."

Looking over at the small laptop that had been provided to her by a helpful person, she reflected that it wasn't all bad. Apparently there were people in similar situations she could talk to, even if she didn't want to. And yet, seeing a vast, wider world out there other than her own was frightening, and a little intimidating as well.

Without warning, a siren bellowed in the hallway and Perrine sat up. "A neuroi? So soon?"

Grabbing her coat, she ran out the door and nearly bumped into Miyafuji who was already halfway down the hall before she could say anything. "So diligent..." Her expression focused however and she took off after them. The enemy was there, and Perrine was going to do what she was here to do: liberate Gallia.
