Naoe Kanno

Naoe Kanno, also known as Nao, is one of the main characters from the World of Witches series.
== Charactah Account ==
Nao is a short but strong-headed Witch from Fuso. When she was young, she was a really obedient child with a keen sense of literature. But when she started to train to become a Witch, she started adopting a more aggressive personality, adopting a fighting style of fighting until you simply can't fight anymore. While this does make her undertake actions which might cause her to crash often, she still proves to be a force to be reckoned with. Her Striker Unit is based on the Yamanishi Shiden Model 21 and she uses a Type 99 13mm machine gun. 
Naoe can be described, in one word, as Napoleonic; despite her small size, she bold and daring in the air, brash and sometimes belligerent socially. It's an attitude she forces on herself because of the war with the Neuroi: when her Witch abilities woke up, she roused herself by repeating the prayer: "to fight a Neuroi, one should have a ferocious personality". This attitude doesn't lend itself well to teamwork or cooperation, but under Flight Lieutenant Pokryshkin this is dampened somewhat, perhaps because she resembles an elder sister of Naoe's childhood, whom she remembers fondly.
Naoe embodies a daring combat-style, in which "if you run out of bullets use a blade, and if the blade breaks use a body blow". She also operates to good effect against big targets and her pet theory is that "the larger the enemy, more worthwhile it is to defeat it". Her forte is to do a nose dive from just above the target and fire as the two pass by each other.
