Lynette Bishop

Lynette Bishop, also known as Lynne, is one of the main characters from the World of Witches series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lynne is a very personable if a bit shaky, sniper from Britannia. Lynette is the middle child of eight siblings and was sometimes overlooked. Because of this, she's domestic and painfully shy. She joined the Strike Witches shortly before Yoshika to help protect her homeland. Lynette is assigned to be Yoshika's roommate, where the two quickly become friends. Her striker unit is based on the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX and she lugs around a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle in battle. Her sister is named Wilma Bishop.
The middle child of eight siblings, Lynette was sometimes overlooked and developed very domestic and practical habits from helping to take care of them. Because of this, she's very domestic and painfully shy. Plagued by occasional clumsiness and sometimes overlooked, she nevertheless strives to do her best. She's a kind, gentle and obedient girl who still seems a bit helpless at times and finds no joy in fighting, but she joined up recently to protect her homeland when she wanted to be of use to everyone. However, she's strong-willed, obstinate and very reliable.
Apologizing seems to be her first knee-jerk reflex. Also, every time the squadron chips in to help prepare for a difficult mission, her suggestion is tea. She's very good at brewing tea, so she's in charge of tea time. She is also good in cooking, especially candies and sweets.

== Trivia ==
* Her pilot archetype is unclear, but is likely one of the children of famed Canadian WWI pilot Billy Bishop, who is the pilot archetype for Minnie Bishop, Lynette's mother. Lynette also has an older sister, Wilma, likely based on Billy Bishop's son, Arthur (whose actual first name was William). However, her striker unit code is based on 610th RAF member John Ellis, (ranked as Flight Lieutenant) who had the code DW-N on his Spitfire Mk Ia during Battle of Britain. Not only that, Jackie Mann shares the same birthday as Lynette, and was a pilot who served the Battle of Britain as well after joining the Royal Air Force. Mann and Lynette also joined the RAF voluntary. Jackie Mann also engaged in battle with Adolf Galland, which would explain the relation between the two. Others have speculated that Lynette is based on the Spitfire itself, due to not quite fitting with any archetype. This would also explain Galland's infatuation with her, as Adolf Galland famously adored the Spitfire, stating that he "should like an outfit of Spitfires for my squadron." to a superior on one occasion. That Lynette is a "middle child" in a family of eight siblings, despite the real Billy Bishop only having two children, further indicates that she isn't specifically based on either of them.
* Her familiar is named Concertina. Like her older sister Wilma, it's a Scottish Fold cat. However unlike Wilma, the characteristic folded ears are not present.
* As noted above, Lynette's Spitfire(s) are marked with the tail code DW-N. This matches with her having previously served in 610 Squadron, as in reality DW is 610's squadron code (with the third letter being for the individual aircraft).
