### Appearances

Viribus Unitis: Saga of Girls Academy of FIne Arts Steyr

**Svetlana** or **Red** is a gunner and Tank commander of Pravda Girls High School. She is the most likely candidate to be the next Overall Commander of her school. She is the main antagonist of Viribus Unitis: Saga of Girls Academy of Fine Arts Steyr

## Profile

Also known as **Red Winter Svetlana,** she is a second-year student of Pravda Girls High School. She is known for being the second best gunner behind her Vice-commander Nonna and the third-best commander behind Nonna and Katyusha. Her real name is **Yuki Akagi** ( 赤城 雪. *Akagi Yuki*). Her hair color and nickname made her simply known as **Red**.

In matches she usually act as both gunner and tank commander, just like Nonna and Klara. Her usual tank is T-34-85, although in the friendly match against Steyr, she commands a one-of-a-kind T-44-100.

## Appearance

She is a girl with relatively medium height and pale skin, short bright red hair and a pair of sharp bright green eyes. When in school, she wears her school uniform like her schoolmates. During Sensha-Do activity, she wears her uniform with a black ushanka hat with its ear flap down, covering most of her red hair.

## Personality

"*Later that I found out, Red was the one who shot the Panzer III. God, she is really irritating.*"
―Asaka HaidaHer personality is a complicated one. She is deliberately sarcastic, arrogant, irritating yet polite. She never forget to greet or greet back, especially to people she recognized. Her way of speaking is noted as very elegant and refined, but hiding a sarcastic and irritating intention within. She is not afraid of speaking what she thinks and questioning a decision, even to Katyusha and Nonna who is two of the most feared students in Pravda. Despite her heavily flawed character, she has a soft spot for her mute gunner, Roza, whom she treat as a younger sister and her only friend.

Perhaps the hallmark of her personality is her hatred to the color red, despite being a student of Pravda and having red hair and "Red Winter" as her nickname. Every time other people call her Red, she would be enraged beyond belief, (though her expression rarely shows all of her emotion,) going so far as trying to verbally and physically hurt others.

In Sensha-Do matches, her personality is a little better. A ruthless enemy and inspiring commander, Svetlana believes that one should not waste any chance and opportunity to win, therefore she believes Katyusha and Nonna's tactics to give Ooarai Girls Academy a chance while Katyusha was napping as a total nonsense. She also doesn't care about safety of her enemy, as long as her team can win, although she is somewhat caring for her team.

Outside of Senha-Do, she is proven as a good combatant, being capable of sneaked up on Nonna and disarmed Klara in a quick succession, even though Svetlana is much more smaller in physique and Nonna and Klara has some sort of military background, only failed afterwards because she let Svetlana's emotion get the better of her.

## Background

Even from as early as five years old, she had spent times hunting games with her grandfather, a Russian WW2 veteran, using his SVT-40 battle rifle. On their last hunting trip, her grandfather taught her to avoid animals with certain looks in their eyes. She started hating the color red after this trip.

During the finals of 62nd Nationals, she deliberately threw a barrage of potshot at Koume Akaboshi and Asaka Haida's Panzer III, in order to make the Panzer III slid off to a deluge of river, therefore making the enemy flag tank wide open and its crew distracted. Ultimately, Katyusha's T-34 shot the defenseless flag tank.

### 63rd Nationals

In the competition, she was reported performing very well, often shooting down multiple tanks in one match.

In the match against Oarai, she urged Nonna to bombard the church where Oarai's force was hiding, instead of sieging them and giving them a chance to plan their next move. She would be proven right, unfortunately for her. Oarai broke free of the siege by punching right through the center of the Pravda formation. Her T-34 was taken out in the process, the first time in the year.
