Katyusha, from GUP

*"You prepared these tanks just to make Katyusha laugh, did you not? All of you are below Katyusha! Your tanks, your technology and your height."*

―Katyusha from the anime called "Girls und Panzer"

 "Communism was quite ideal, yes, but it was used by the wrong leaders."
―Katyusha
**Katyusha** is also one of the supporting characters of another anime, called "Girls und Panzer".

## Profile

Katyusha is a student from Pravda Girls High School and the overall commander of the school's Sensha-Dō team. She operates a **Soviet T-34/85**.

## Appearance (in the Anime and Discord)

Katyusha is a girl with short blonde hair and light blue eyes. She wears a green-brown uniform tunic with a Russian red cross and a skirt of the same green-brown colour or, as in the match against Ooarai, a jumpsuit modeled after those worn by WW2 Russian tank operators. Katyusha is also shown to wear a Russian tanker's padded cap when she prepares for battle, which looks gratuitously large on someone as small as her. She has a very diminutive stature, making her age hard to determine; however, canon states that she is 17 years old.

## Personality

Katyusha is quite chill and pretty short tempered at some times, when someone is very confused and doesn't know what to do, she will break down and type in Caps (which is dramatic lol)

## Background in the Anime

Katyusha led the Pravda Sensha-Dō team against Ooarai Girls Academy during the semi-final round of the 63rd National High School Sensha-Dō Tournament, and it's implied she was in command the previous year, when Miho Nishizumi's actions led to Pravda's victory. During the 63rd Tournament, her strategy of luring Ooarai into an ambush almost worked, and Ooarai's tanks were forced to hide in a dilapidated church to escape the onslaught. After that, Katyusha offered them surrender conditions, among which were that they would have to bow in submission to her. However, after learning that losing the match would cause Ooarai's closure, Miho refused to surrender, instead choosing to fight till the end.

While Ooarai's team was in the church, before they resumed the match, Miho sent scouts (Mako Reizei, Midoriko Sono, Erwin and Yukari Akiyama) to locate all of Pravda's tanks, and even to converse with Pravda team members. Not knowing of this reconnaissance, Katyusha expected that the whole Ooarai team would chase Pravda's flag tank, or possibly strike at the weak point she deliberately left in her line, but Ooarai's tanks instead attacked their vanguard, taking Katyusha by surprise. She then led the pursuit of Ooarai's flag tank, while Ooarai's Anglerfish Team and Hippo Team doubled back into the town in search of Pravda's flag tank.

During Pravda's pursuit, upon Katyusha's instructions Nonna knocked out first the Ooarai flag tank's escorts, and then fired on the flag tank itself. The two flag tanks from both sides were hit at the same moment, but Ooarai's flag tank (Duck Team) miraculously survived, leaving Pravda defeated. After this, despite her immense disappointment, Katyusha revealed a surprising grace in defeat, openly acknowledging Miho's prowess and shaking her hand while standing on her own feet for once. Together with Nonna, Katyusha later appeared as a spectator of the finals, both seeking out Miho before the match to encourage her to "crush Kuromorimine like Operation Bagration!" and then cheering for Ooarai.

### Der Film

During the first part of Der Film, Katyusha leads the Pravda element of the combined Pravda–St. Gloriana Team during the Ooarai–Chi-Ha Tan vs. St. Gloriana–Pravda Exhibition Match. Again commanding her T34/85, she manages to break through the Ooarai–Chi-Ha Tan delaying force and come to the relief of the St. Gloriana elements pinned down on the golf course. It is implied from Nonna's chiding that Katyusha could have gone around the delaying force, but Katyusha chose to face it head-on. In the pursuit of the Ooarai–Chi-Ha Tan team, she is in the thick of the action, and eventually ends up in pursuit of Anglerfish Team, the Ooarai–Chi-Ha Tan flag tank. When Anglerfish Team escapes down a stairway, Katyusha refuses to seek another, easier route to intercept them, revealing her competition with Miho when she states, "Anything Miho can do, Katyusha can do!" Toward the end of the match, she waits in ambush for the Ooarai–Chi-Ha Tan team as they pursue the St. Gloriana flag tank, knocks out Mallard Team, and again demands Miho's surrender —and again, Miho refuses. Finally, she sacrifices herself by taking a shot from Miho, allowing Darjeeling time to knock out Anglerfish Team and, thus, winning the match for St. Gloriana–Pravda.

During the match, she is shown to have no patience for Nonna and Klara speaking to each other in Russian —which Katyusha apparently does not understand.

In the second part of Der Film, when Ooarai is facing impossible odds in their match against the All-Stars University Team, Katyusha responds to Darjeeling's call to arms and leads an element of Pravda's team to Ooarai's aid, "transferring" to Ooarai and joining the Ooarai Combined Team. During that match, she serves as vice-commander of the Sunflowers, and is the first to experience the Karl-Gerät's bombardment. When the Sunflowers are forced to retreat, Katyusha's fellow Pravda teammates (Nonna, Klara, and the crew of the KV-2), believing in her importance, sacrifice themselves to make certain she can escape. Katyusha is shocked and despondent at losing her teammates, but musters her strength and carries on.

At the amusement park, she is at first part of the team to guard the south entrance, eventually joining the Kuromorimine tanks in a sortie that destroys the feint there. She remains with that team as they try to break the encirclement at the amphitheater, but is unable to gain headway. Once Rabbit Team's diversion with the ferris wheel succeeds in breaking the encirclement, she retreats with the others, but feels the loss of her Pravda teammates keenly and wants to stay behind and make an aggressive and perhaps last-stand defense. She is instead convinced by Leopon and Anteater Teams to stay together as a team, and goes on to destroy several enemy tanks with them, despite them teasing her and nicknaming her "Geronimo." Her tank is one of the last knocked out, being defeated by the "Bermuda Trio" as she, Leopon Team, and Erika try to stop Azumi, Rumi, and Megumi from rejoining Alice.

She is seen at the very end of Der Film together with the rest of the Ooarai Combined Team, both congratulating Miho on the victory and, in her cheerfully arrogant style, personally accepting the gratitude of Ooarai for the assistance of all the other schools.

### Das Finale

In Part 1, Katyusha is seen riding on Klara's shoulders as they watch the match between Ooarai and BC Freedom High School.

In Part 2, Katyusha is seen leading Pravda's team through a snowy forest on a fast, radio-silent attack on Viking Fisheries High School.

## Background in the Discord

Katyusha joined discord and joined many other Soviet Discord Servers, then after a few years she joined New Polygon city after seeing a video by Polygon Donut. She later requested TripPy\_Poly (or the creator of the Polyhedra Town server) to become one of the first people to be drawn in the first version of the Polygon Bus. She met a very cool guy called "Theeserrasball" but has changed to Silver the Hedgehog. She changed many times, and died many times. She also met a rebel of her which is called "Padoru Katyusha" and attempted to kill the poor Katyusha 'forever'.
