History Characters / GirlsUndPanzerOaraiAcademyAnglerfishTeam

* AnimalMotifs: Miho is heavily associated with the anglerfish due to her penchant for [[ConfusionFu catching her opponenets off-guard]] [[CrazyEnoughToWork with a wide vareity]] [[CombatPragmatist of traps]]. Not to mention, female anglerfishes are usually ''big'', reflecting on Miho's position as Ōarai's overall commander.

* IllGirl: If she really has low blood pressure, it is possibly pathological.

* PersonalRaincloud: She gets one when one of the girls from Rabbit Team, Yuuki Utsugi, ask her how many boyfriends has she had.

* MotorMouth: {{Downplayed}} as it [[{{Flanderization}} only happens]] in the bonus "Yukari's Tank Corner" segments. Her speech is always ''very'' quick and aggitated when she's talking about tanks, but never so much that she's difficult to understand. However, in the bonus segments, Ikumi Nakagami [[PlayedForLaughs plays it for comedy]] as she [[ChewingTheScenery unleashes]] descriptions, technical termns, data factoids, opinions and statements about the tanks with the speed of a coaxial machinegun.[[note]]On a more meta level, that's the reason said segments have been [[FanSub subtitled]] so slowly: the translators usually ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments could not keep up wih her]]''[[/note]].

* SecretKeeper: In the manga, is the only one besides Miho who knows that [[spoiler:Miho will be disinherited if she loses to Pravda]].

** In the aforementioned spin-off manga, she's also tried to infiltrate [[spoiler: Bonple]] as well, but were immediately found out by [[spoiler: Uszka]] who plays an ObfuscatingStupidity on her.

Saori's childhood friend and a gloomy fellow with a string of tardiness and absences stemming both from her dislike of rising early in the morning and, so she claims, a low blood pressure. She only joins the team because of the incentive of clearing her record. She's placed in charge of driving the Panzer.

* GeniusSweetTooth: Smartest girl in school and eats more sweets than even Hana. Probably also owing to her low blood pressure.

* KirkSummation: Her retort to Erika's TrashTalk:
-->'''Erika''': ''"There's an unspoken rule that everyone knows: schools that will just embarrass Sensha-do stay out of the tournament."''
-->'''Mako:''' ''"[[ShameIfSomethingHappened It'd sure be pretty embarrassing if]] [[SpannerInTheWorks one of those teams beat the veterans that all sat around in their ivory towers coming up with that rule]]."''

* CrazyPrepared: She carries a military-issue mess kit around, and is genuinely surprised other people don't do the same. Taken UpToEleven in the fifth OVA, much to Erwin's amazement.

* MotorMouth: {{Downplayed}} as it [[{{Flanderization}} only happens]] in the bonus "Yukari's Tank Corner" segments. Her speech is always ''very'' quick and aggitated when she's talking about tanks, but never so much that she's difficult to understand. However, in the bonus segments, Ikumi Nakagami [[PlayedForLaughs plays it]] UpToEleven as she [[ChewingTheScenery unleashes]] descriptions, technical termns, data factoids, opinions and statements about the tanks with the speed of a coaxial machinegun.[[note]]On a more meta level, that's the reason said segments have been [[FanSub subtitled]] so slowly: the translators usually ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments could not keep up wih her]]''[[/note]].

* [[TheSneakyGuy The Sneaky Gal]]: She infiltrated Saunders, Anzio and BC Freedom prior to their team's match against them (barely escapes in the first). In later episodes, she's Miho's first choice for scouting. Goes UpToEleven in the ''Ribbon Warrior'' spin-off, as she's depicted (At least by Centipede Team's Rin) as a Mata Hari-FemmeFatale-{{Ninja}} CompositeCharacter. See AdaptationalBadass entry above.

* {{Meganekko}}: Typically wears contacts out of vanity, though sometimes she wears a pair of large red glasses, usually at dinnertime, as seen in Episodes 2 and 10.

* BadassDriver: Not to the level of Maho, but she was the team's original driver and is able to serve as such in a pinch [[spoiler: such as during the night battle of ''Das Finalé's'' third episode where they need Maho up top as a spotter due to her superior night vision]].

* GuileHeroine: She generally out-thinks and outwits opposing commanders, win or lose. [[spoiler:Except Maho, with whom, [[FearfulSymmetry unsurprisingly]], she usually ties.]]

* WellDoneSonGuy: Surprisingly, averted. She shows virtually no desire to win her mother's approval.

* TeenSuperspy: {{Downplayed|trope}}. Several times, Yukari infiltrates other schools to get recon on their team. In quite a few FanFic stories, however, this escalates from just looking around and asking a few questions, to ''Franchise/JamesBond'' levels of Superspy-dom.

* TheDreaded: By the time of ''Das Finalé'', many teams treat Anglerfish as this. Emphasized in Episode 3 where Chihatan's Nishi dedicates and entire detachment just to isolate and take them out. Most of the engagements involving this are shown entirely from the Chihatan tankers point of view as they struggle and fight the Anglerfish.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Miho looks like your typical small schoolgirl, but her PolitenessJudo feat during ''Das Finale, Part 1'' shows she's is surprisingly strong, throwing Murakami with just her head!

The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV Panzerkamfwagen IV]] is the first tank the characters find upon the re-establishment of the Ōarai Sensha-do elective. This was assigned to Team A/Anglerfish team. As the tank commanded by Miho, it is by default, the "face" of Ōarai's Sensha-do team.

* TheChick: Of the Anglerfish Team's [[FiveManBand Five-Girl Band]], as an excellent communicator and hopeless boy-chaser.

* TheLancer: For the Anglerfish Team's [[FiveManBand Five-Girl Band]] as de facto second-in-command and tank otaku.

* CrazyEnoughToWork: Some of her strategies are, as noted by her opponents, not what you will expect a normal commander would think of. However, [[ConfusionFu it is because opponents never expect that they'd do something crazy that they work]] [[CrazyAwesome in magnificent ways.]]

** Following the national tournament she has also acquired some other nicknames such as "The Miracle of Ooarai", "The War Goddess", and "The World's Strongest Boco Fan".

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: At the end of ''Little Army'', she gives one on her reasons to go into Sensha-do, which provides her character quote.

* FiveManBand: In contrast to the homogeneous theme of the girls of other teams, the girls of Anglerfish Team complement each other.
** TheLeader: Miho, commander of the squad and overall commander of Ōarai's Sensha-do team.
** TheLancer: Yukari, Miho's fangirl and the most knowledgeable about tanks and military warfare in general aside from Miho herself.
** TheBigGuy: Hana, the tallest of the girls and also their gunner.
** TheSmartGuy: Mako, smartest girl in school and the [=PzIv's=] driver.
** TheChick: Saori, radio operator and the most concerned about feminine stuff like popularity and boys.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the manga, it's revealed that [[spoiler:she believes she failed to save her teammates at Black Forest, due to them being ostracized and ultimately forced to transfer schools. If counting the Anime and Manga adaptations, all but obe of them transferred[[labelnote:Note]]Specifically Koume, as revealed in Episode 10. The Light Novel also has Erika as part of that crew, but the manga has her already in command of her Tiger 2[[/labelnote]]]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the manga, it's revealed that [[spoiler:she believes she failed to save her teammates at Black Forest, due to them being ostracized and ultimately forced to transfer schools. If counting the Anime and Light Novel adaptations, all but two of them transferred[[labelnote:Note]]Specifically Koume (as revealed in Episode 10) and Erika (as mentioned in the Light Novel)[[/labelnote]]]].

* {{Adorkable}}: She's somewhat shy and socially awkward, and Saori says that she got interested in Miho because she seemed "jittery".

* BadassAdorable: [[{{Adorkable}} She's a bit shy, socially awkward, and overall a]] NiceGirl. She's also very competent at Sensha-do with her ability to [[IndyPloy think of strategies on the fly]] and [[ConfusionFu throw off opposing forces with unconventional tactics.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Look into her interactions with Miho, particularly when she begins to act flustered.

* MeaningfulName: An anglerfish is known for using it's lantern-like antenna to lure its prey into a trap before eating them. Considering the fact that most of Miho's tactics involve around using ambushes, trickery, and distractions, the team's name fits nicely.

* MsFanservice: Deliberately invoked on her part with her glarmously permed hair, secretary glasses, a shirt one-size too small and ZettaiRyouiki to emphasize her generous and firm bust and legs, to better cultivate the image of "a hot girl who is popular with the boys"... When in reality, she is just as inexperienced with men as the average Oarai Schoolgirl.
