Saunders' leader and commander of an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman M4 Sherman]] during the Saunders-Ōarai match.
----
* BadassCreed: See her quote above. Let's put it in perspective: in a world where Tankery is SeriousBusiness enough to justify [[spoiler: disowning one's daughter over preferring lives to victories]], she firmly believes the [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen opposite]]. She utters it only once, so it could be a BadassBoast, but she then she lectures [[spoiler:Miho]] about it, after having behaved that way all the battle [[spoiler:and before and after it]], making clear it's a creed and not a boast.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Saves Alice from Ōarai's pursuit.]]
* BoisterousBruiser: Typically American boisterousness combined with a typical American 30-ton war machine leads to this.
* CavalierCompetitor: Being spied upon? No biggie. Losing first blood to the enemy? Surprising, but interesting! For her, tank combat is ''fun''.
-->''"Exciting!"''
-->''"That's'' Tankery!"''
* {{Eagleland}}: Not actually American, but she represents Type 1 as the friendly sportsman with a lot of firepower.
* {{Foil}}: Nicely contrasts with Anchovy, given that she's laidback and enjoys exciting matches, while Anchovy values victory above all else. This is nicely emphasized in that Kay's match is shown in the anime, while Anchovy's in the manga.
* GenkiGirl: Her energy during a match (or outside a match) is unrivaled in her team.
* [[spoiler: GracefulLoser: Embraces Miho after her loss to Ōarai, then teaches the latter her creed.]]
* GratuitousEnglish: Liberally sprinkles her speeches with American English.
* InformedAttribute: Darjeeling's claim that Saunders often uses "dirty tactics" becomes this after Kay is shown in action, unless Darjeeling somehow knew about [[spoiler:Alice intercepting radio communications]].
* [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen Let's Fight Like Ladies]]: Only pursues Ōarai with four tanks, because [[spoiler:one of her teammates was intercepting their radio transmissions]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While [[GenkiGirl genuinely energetic]], she becomes stern and subdued while telling Alice that she wants a word with her regarding [[spoiler:her radio tapping, which ended up backfiring and costing them the match]].
* PassThePopcorn: Munches on a nice container of the stuff in Episode 12 watching the battle with Miho and Maho. Justified because it is a sporting event.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Like Darjeeling, she has the Anglo-Saxon blue eyes and blonde hair gig going for her. Her hair is more strawberry blonde as opposed to Darjeeling's paler color to give off the more wild American vibe.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Believes in the concept of fair play and condemns dirty tricks like [[spoiler:radio interception]].
* WhoWearsShortShorts: She does, and so do the rest of Saunders as part of their combat uniforms. Their school clothes are more typical, just in West Point Grey.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade-B in contrast to Darjeeling's full tights. Again, this is for the 'wild american' vibe.

* BoyishShortHair: This is how it looks in comparison to her superior's longer air.
* ChewBubblegum: While blasting away, she's chewing gum. She even runs out of gum right before kicking [[spoiler:Anglerfish's]] ass.
* FriendlySniper: Down three Ōarai tanks with her Firefly.
* FunbagAirbag: When she slumps back in her seat with a "sigh" at the end of their onscreen battle, her head finds some... [[UnusualEuphemism comfortable pillows...]] courtesy of her startled loader.
* [[spoiler:GracefulLoser: While visibly disappointed by their slim margin of defeat, she nevertheless harbors no ill will towards Ooarai at the end of the day.]]
* LadyLooksLikeADude: [[BoyishShortHair Conspicuously so]]. Outside the tank it's not so conspicuous, due to her bosom.

Saunders' third-in-command. Commands the flag tank, an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman_variants M4A1(76)W]], during the Saunders-Ōarai match.
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Mentions a guy she likes called "Takashi" who doesn't like her back while her tank is fleeing from Ooarai, though considering her [[VillainousBreakdown mental state]] at the time, she could have just been babbling. She also implies that [[LoveTriangle Takashi likes another girl]], but gives no indication as to whether his love is requited. It's a very cryptic ShoutOut: Hirano voiced Suzumiya Haru''hi'', and [[RumblingHearts Takayuki Narumi]] is whom Suzumiya Haru''ka'' is in love with.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She might not be the best tank commander around and clearly needs a remedial course on good sportsmanship, but episode 5 shows why she's Saunders' Vice-Captain:
** She accurately guesses Ōarai's positions at the time of the radio transmission (time-distance calculation + terrain analysis), translates the very vague "leftwards direction" into a specific set of coordinates (more terrain analysis) and accurately estimates how fast Rabbit Team would get there (time-distance calculation, and it wouldn't have worked unless she got the first two approximately right). She then coordinates the movements of two platoons so the platoon moving in the open comes into view shortly before the flanking platoon moves in through the forest and counters Ōarai's reinforcing element by moving in Naomi's platoon (latter is not quite as impressive because her team has visual contact now, but still requires time-distance calculations). She also figured out the feasibility of withdrawing two tanks back out of commitment and into envelopment ahead of Ōarai's tanks (same). Keep in mind that all this was accomplished using only a radio and a map, without even seeing the battle unfold.
* BoisterousWeakling: For all her boasting, she's an ineffective tank commander. In an amusing symmetry with her calling Ōarai "weaklings". This is {{Discussed}} in the second recap episode (and downplayed because Miho is ''that'' [[NiceGirl nice]]).
* CombatPragmatist: She's willing to seek every advantage in battle.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Saunders had numerical superiority, better tanks and more experienced crews, but Alice just ''had'' to cheat regardless. [[spoiler: This enables Ōarai to turn the tables.]]
* EvilLaugh: She lets rip with one after [[spoiler:intercepting another transmission]], getting some startled looks from her crew.
* GirlishPigtails: Which make her look like a loudmouth brat after tangling with Ōarai.
* GutFeeling: [[BlatantLies She claims]] that her knowledge of Ōarai's positions comes from this.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The reason the numerically superior Saunders units ended up out-of-position, leaving her tank at Ōarai's mercy and convincing Kay to bring matching numbers of tanks during their counterattack? She fell for fake communications (when Miho [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy deduced that their radio transmissions were being intercepted]]), fooling her into [[AttackAttackAttack emptying her guns without informing her allies]].]]
* LargeHam: As the subtropes will explain.
** LaughingMad: As she's running for the hills.
** ChewingTheScenery: Combining mad laughs with non-sequiturs.
* LoopholeAbuse: Technically, [[spoiler:intercepting radio transmissions]] isn't cheating, but it's not good sportsmanship either.
* MissionControl: Serves as one for Saunders and [[spoiler:helped by the radio intercepts]].
* {{Munchkin}}: Her team already had a two-one advantage in numbers, better tanks, and many more veterans, yet she still decided to [[spoiler: eavesdrop on her opponent's communications]] to further increase the odds of winning. Imagine how bad she would be in World of Tanks!
* OhCrap: After realizing Kay disapproves of her actions and wants a word with her in an [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristically stern tone]].
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', she only uses a pair of fake sunglasses as a disguise.]]
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', she decides to infiltrate Ōarai to steal its classified information in revenge for Yukari infiltrating Saunders. However, her disguise is... less than stellar, as Leopon Team finds her suspicious immediately]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Depending on the translation, is "Arisa", "Alisa" or "Alice."
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: When TheCavalry appears she goes back to her ''eeevil'' ranting.
* VillainousBreakdown: When she finds out she was outsmarted and led into a trap, she doesn't take it well and starts babbling incoherently as her tank drives for its life.
* YouthfulFreckles: Her attitude brings to mind a BrattyHalfpint who didn't grow up.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Crewing Alice's tank is not a cake walk.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The "ineffectual" part being because their tank is cramped with [[spoiler:[[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat radio spying equipment]]]], to the point of the loader being unable to find her shells in a hurry.

* SilentSnarker: They ''do'' speak, but most of their frustration at Alice's antics and command (or lack thereof) style is conveyed through exasperated facial expressions.

----
* BreatherEpisode: The battle against her, sandwiched between Saunders and Pravda, both highly regarded schools that pushed Ooarai onto the brink of defeat, is considerably easier. It's also PlayedForLaughs, as Ōarai didn't even have to fight all the way until sundown.
* ButtMonkey: Apparently, [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/214682/girls-und-panzer-motto-love-love-sakusen-desu_ch7_by_ak-scanlations/4 Chapter 7]] of the ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'' spin-off manga portrayed her as this: first, her appearance [[spoiler:during the meeting of the teams who got beaten by Ōarai Academy during the tournament (including St. Gloriana)]] was apparently blocked with a conveniently-placed speech bubble; second, she later got hit in the face (knocking her out in the process) by a scale model of a dragon wagon; and third, she was apparently left behind at the said meeting place, unaware that the others have left.
* DartboardOfHate: Hits a photo of Miho with a riding crop, and appears to have one of Kay posted on the same bulletin board.
* DefensiveWhat: After Miho [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asks her if she believes that her and her teammates' efforts are meaningless because they lost]].
* DrillHair: Has a couple of these as part of her MegaTwinTails.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Miho points out that [[ThePowerOfFriendship her bonds with her comrades]] are most important, Anchovy points out that it’s a commander’s responsibility to bring victory to them.
* {{Foil}}: Nicely contrasts with Kay, given that she's values victory above all else, while Kay prefers exciting matches. This is emphasized in that Kay's match is shown in the anime, while Anchovy's is shown in the manga. She also contrasts with Katyusha in that both look down on Miho and insult her decision to [[spoiler:save one of her tanks at the cost of the tournament win]], but while Anchovy strives for victory out of a feeling of responsibility to her comrades, Katyusha mainly does it for the sake of her own pride, and [[spoiler:Anchovy is a SoreLoser while Katyusha is a GracefulLoser]]. She also contrasts nicely with both of them in that the other two are good commanders, while she isn't.
* FullNameBasis: Likes calling Miho Nishizumi by her full name in a manner reminiscent of [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Franziska Von Karma]], in addition to the latter’s attitude toward winning.
* GeneralFailure: Her plan to lure Oarai into a trap briefly gives her the advantage, but she gives Oarai far less trouble than their other opponents despite outnumbering them. Unlike other matches, the match doesn't go down to isolating and disabling the enemy flag tank.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: When telling Miho that she doesn't accept her way of Tankery, this trope makes the statement all the ruder.
* HiddenDepths: While obsessed with victory, she says it's a commander's obligation to her team, and as she and Carpaccio are walking away after Anzio's loss, Anchovy apologizes to her, indicating that [[ItsAllMyFault she blames herself for the loss]], in spite of her anger toward Miho and her school.
* {{Jerkass}}: Openly calls Miho's way of Tankery weak before the start of their match in the manga, and makes disparaging allusions to Miho's decision to sacrifice victory to rescue her teammates. After losing, she outright accuses Miho of [[spoiler:being responsible for her team's defeat in the last tournament finals]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Ōarai’s continued existence, something everyone is willing to fight to protect, rides on her team's success in the tournament, although Miho doesn’t know that and it’s unclear whether Anchovy does.]]
* JokeCharacter: The anime doesn't show the fight, just [[CurbstompBattle the result]].
* MegaTwinTails: Easily the largest set in the whole show.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: In the manga, Anzio starts out with the advantage.
* RedBaron: "Il Duce"
* SayMyName: Screams “Miho Nishizumiiiiii!” just before her defeat.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: It's a commander's duty to bring ''first place'' to her subordinates.
* ShutUpKirk: After Miho says there are more important things than victory, namely her comrades, Anchovy tells Miho that if her comrades are so important, she should do her job as commander and win.
* SoreLoser: Doesn't take her defeat at Ōarai's hands well.
* VillainousBreakdown: Late in the match, and into the post-game, she freaks out.

----
* ACupAngst: In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', it's indicated that she's slightly jealous of Nonna's large breasts, as she tries to pretend she has a pair of her own.
* AnalogyBackfire: Suggests that her terms for Ōarai's surrender are generous because she has a heart as large as the Siberian plain. Nonna then asks her if that means her heart is extremely cold.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: WordOfGod (via {{Twitter}}) has it that she got her position because she fired the winning shot during last year's finals.
* BrilliantButLazy: She's a superb commander, but she'll negotiate a ceasefire so she can take a nap.
* CuteLittleFangs: They just peek out, probably accenting her cocky nature.
* DefensiveFeintTrap: She's an expert at these. Ōarai's DarkestHour is caused by one of them.
* EvilCounterpart: To Anzu, in a sense of the OpposingSportsTeam. Aside from a certain haughtiness (like [[spoiler:rubbing Kuromorimine's defeat last year into Miho's face)]], which is largely explained by [[TheNapoleon her own insecurities]], she's yet to display any truly evil behavior. She's also shown to be lazy and relying on her HypercompetentSidekick.
* {{Foil}}: She contrasts with Anchovy in that while both look down on Miho and insult her decision to [[spoiler:save one of her tanks at the cost of the tournament win]], Anchovy strives for victory out of a feeling of responsibility to her comrades, but Katyusha mainly does it for the sake of her own pride, and [[spoiler:Anchovy is a SoreLoser while Katyusha is a GracefulLoser]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** When congratulating Ōarai, she ''gets off Nonna's shoulders''.
** In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', after she accidentally [[EyeScream pokes Nonna in the eyes]] while trying to regain her hold on her head, she is horrified and apologizes profusely.
* RedBaron: "Snowdrift" Katyusha.
* SandInMyEyes: [[spoiler:Tried to deny to Nonna that she is about to break down crying after their semifinals loss.]]
* SweetTooth: Usually seen munching on sweets; some of them ending up on her cheek. She even eats jam directly without spreading it on bread or mixing it with tea! To [[ProperLady Darjeeling]], this ammounts to JabbaTableManners.
* ThirdPersonPerson: At her most egotistical, she even appends "-sama" to her own name.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: The shortest girl in the series, a BrattyHalfPint threatening serious punishment and with a huge [[TheNapoleon height complex]].
* TokenMiniMoe: Shorter than even Anzu at a mere 127cm ([[TheNapoleon and incredibly insecure about it]]).
* YouHaveFailedMe: Katyusha warns her teammates that, should they be get taken out, they'll be punished with... 25 days of supplementary classes in a dark classroom. It's unlikely she is serious about that -- after all, sacrificing a few tanks in a DefensiveFeintTrap, as well as protecting the flag tank [[TakingTheBullet with the bodies of the other T-34s]], which implies getting taken out, were her own orders.
** In Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu's second omake, she and Nonna grill Nina about seeing Yukari and Erwin disguised as Pravda students in the fifth OVA. Thankfully, Nina pulls her coat over her head, making her seem even shorter than Katyusha.

* HugeSchoolgirl: The tallest girl in the cast, with official materials listing her height as 172 cm. This fact is highlighted even further given how she's paired with the diminutive Katyusha.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Miho. As early as ''Little Army'' Maho never fell for her sister's unconventional tactics. When someone brings up the Nishizumi around Miho, it's to compare her to her elder sister.
* AloofBigSister: She had a serious falling out with Miho. [[spoiler:Not due to any personal disagreement, but because she's the heiress to Nishizumi-style Tankery and so she can't go against her mother's edicts, no matter how much she secretly encourages Miho's path.]]

* BeneathTheMask: Her [[EmotionlessGirl poker face]] is prominently shown throughout the anime -- mainly when her family is involved. ''Little Army'' shows us that she [[spoiler:loves Miho dearly]].
* BenevolentBoss: In Chapter 8 of "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu", it's shown that while she's not as close to her troops as Miho, when they fear being held accountable for their mistakes, she reassures them that they followed her orders well, [[spoiler:and that if anyone, she is responsible for their loss]].
* BusmansHoliday: Played with in ''Little Army''. She spent her entire summer break at the tournament, but gets some time out of school to compensate for that. She ends up getting in a tank match to help Emi reconcile with Miho and learn more about her, and is once shown coming home from helping out with Shiho.
* {{Byronic Hero}}ine: Midway through Episode 10, she even does the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderer_above_the_Sea_of_Fog iconic "back to the viewer, lost in her thoughts" pose]] as straight as it can be played in front of an army of tanks instead of a turbulent sea of fog. That is: a lot.

* CoolBigSis: ''Little Army'' reveals that she UsedToBeASweetKid, especially to Miho.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: She knows all about Miho's combat pragmatism and is aware that underdogs shouldn't be underestimated. She watched every one of Miho's matches in the tournament and her practice match against St.Gloriana.
* [[spoiler:DeclarationOfProtection: Her quote, above.]]
* DeusExitMachina: In the last chapter of ''Little Army'', when Miho secludes herself inside a tank [[spoiler:while burdened with her doubts about continuing with tankery and Emi's impending departure]], Sakuyo points out that Maho was usually the one to coax Miho out, but Maho has since returned to school.
* {{Determinator}}: As mentioned above, this is a fundamental principle of the Nishizumi school of Tankery. [[spoiler: It also applies to her personally. She took up the mantle of school heiress so Miho would be free to find her own path.]]
* [[spoiler:DuelBoss: Careful ([[HeroicSacrifice and with high toll]]) maneuvering on Miho's part sets the fight into this instead of HopelessBossFight.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: A subtler example than most, but her decision to PetTheDog by [[spoiler:loaning Mako her team's helicopter despite Erika's protests]], and subsequent justification of it as also being part of Tankery, not only shows her kinder side, but also a belief that kind acts are not exclusive from adhering to [[SeriousBusiness the Nishizumi approach to tankery]].
* FanNickname: Tank [[Manga/{{Saki}} Teru]]. ''Unlike'' Miyanaga Teru, Maho never disavows Miho's existence [[spoiler:and secretly encourages her path in life.]] She can also be considered an {{Expy}} of Teru, given the [[CounterpartComparison parallels the series has to Saki]] (see the YMMV page for more).
* FinalBoss: Not only the head of the final opposing team, but she also commands the flag tank, [[spoiler:and her and Miho's tanks wind up facing each other one-on-one]].

* [[spoiler:GracefulLoser: She doesn't mind losing to Miho in the finals. After all, she won on a personal level -- to allow Miho to succeed in her own Tankery style.]]
* HiddenDepths: ''Little Army'' shows that she is a kinder individual than she first seems, especially toward Miho [[spoiler:for whose sake she strives to live up to being the Nishizumi heir]]. ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'' shows that she's somewhat socially awkward (but better at hiding it than Miho is because she's more confident) and has difficulty lightening up.

* IceQueen: Very cold and distant. [[spoiler:''Little Army'' confirms that this is just an act to complete her image as the Nishizumi family heir.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Little Army'', when Miho asks her if she [[spoiler:ordered her tank to fire on Emi's older sister's team's flag tank when it went to rescue another tank from Maho's team]]. There is some indication that she may be pretending this is the case, as she seems pained when it it is first brought up.
-->"...Miho. What I did was Nishizumi style Panzer-kraft. [[spoiler:I gave the order to shoot]]."
* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Forced to act abrasively towards her little sister in order to allow her to follow her style. During ''Little Army'', she's friendly toward Miho until Shiho arrives, at which point she has to coldly brush off Miho when she asks about her decision to shoot the enemy flag tank that was trying to save her teammate. After Miho summons the nerve to ask their mother about the necessity of such an action, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness which Maho noted was unlike her]], she later privately apologizes to her for her sudden change in attitude.]]
* TheLeader: Of Kuromorimine. Like her sister, she overlaps in the types: planning ([[spoiler: hide a Maus in the town in case Miho tried to force UrbanWarfare]]), levelheaded (TheStoic), and charismatic (the perfect Nishizumi style practioner).
* MeaningfulName: Most likely the Nishizumi clan is related to Nishizumi Kojiro, a famous tank hero during the Sino-Japanese War.
* MsFanservice: Although not apparent in the Anime, [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/216449/girls-und-panzer-motto-love-love-sakusen-desu_ch8_by_ak-scanlations/8 chapter 8]] of the second spin-off shows that she can fill a sexy Christmas-themed dress quite well.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Implied. [[spoiler:For all her efforts in keeping Miho from the pressures associated to being a Nishizumi, this is all came to naught when Miho follows her into Kuromorimine anyway.]]
* NiceToTheWaiter: She's friendly and courteous to the Nishizumi family maids, in contrast to her mother.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While she is seen as a stern, yet calm leader of Kuromorimine's Tankery team, chapter 8 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'' portrays her as this (See below entry.)
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Around the time her mother is [[spoiler:considering disowning Miho]], Maho starts more openly expressing her opinion on matters when such opinions go against Shiho, when this would be almost unthinkable for her before.
** Played for laughs in the second spin-off manga. She acts friendly toward her teammates in the holiday party, [[spoiler:which takes place after their defeat in the finals]]. Unfortunately, they notice that she's not acting like herself and (mistakenly) fear that she’s planning to hold a review meeting to take them to task for their mistakes.
* PetTheDog
** Allows her team chopper to [[spoiler:carry Mako quickly to the hospital to see her bedridden grandmother]].
** When Shiho seems ready to conclude that Pravda will beat Ooarai, Maho asks her to stay, convinced Miho has a chance to turn it around, which indicates that she thinks more of her and Ooarai's potential than she lets on, as does her statement that the win was a result of her own skill, rather than her opponent's carelessness.
** In ''Little Army'', she gives Emi some ointment after she hits her head on the inside of the tank. Emi, who had previously hated her, takes note of the action, and begins to warm up to Maho.
* TheStoic: She rarely shows emotion, as befits the heir of the Nishizumi school. [[NotSoStoic The one time she lets her facade slip when she's trying not to]] is when she sees that Miho has brought her friends over in order to ask her mother [[spoiler:whether it was necessary for her to fire on the flag tank that was rescuing her teammates]]. Her expression turns surprised as she says "Miho...".
* TerseTalker: In her e-mails, as shown in "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu". ("Those without anything for Christmas, come.")
* [[spoiler:{{Tragic Hero}}ine: It's revealed at the end of ''Little Army'' that the reason she puts on her JerkassFacade is to free ''Miho'' from the constrictive Nishizumi-style Tankery, so she can find her own way, only for it to be voided when Miho takes up the style anyways between prequel and anime and then quitting Tankery altogether. Then she is forced to confront her sister while wearing the JerkassFacade she put on trying to protect her. Thankfully, in the end, Miho succeeds and declares that she has found her own way of tankery]]
* [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful Bitch]]: What Emi thought of her orders to [[spoiler:shoot down the enemy flag tank en route to rescuing one of ''her own'' teammates]]. Dowplayed, in that she seems genuinely remorseful over that.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: ''Little Army'' reveals this, both in her interactions with Miho until their mother returns home, and flashbacks showing the two as young children. [[spoiler:Despite her aloof facade, though, she does still care for Miho as much as ever, as seen after the final match]].
* VillainRespect: When [[AbusiveParents Shiho]] attributes Ooarai's success [[spoiler:against Pravda]] to blind luck and the enemy's carelessness, she openly disagrees and explicitly atributes it to Miho's intellect and Ooarai's motivation and teamwork spirit. In the practice match against Miho in ''Little Army'', she seems pleased when Miho manages to avoid a few of her shots.
* WalkingSpoiler: A fair number of her tropes are spoilers, particularly [[spoiler:how she truly feels about Miho]].
* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well done, Daughter" Gal]]: Maho is carrying on the Nishizumi style to please her mother.
** ''Little Army'' Chapter 7 reveals an even deeper reason: [[spoiler:she voluntarily took on the role of heiress to allow Miho to live her life freely, untethered by the strictures of the Nishizumi school.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:Admitting to shooting the flag tank during its rescue mission]] in ''Little Army''.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Quite possibly her reaction to her mother telling her that [[spoiler:shooting the German flag tank]] was the right thing to do, since she doesn't seem at all happy about it.

----
* TheDragon: She's Maho's NumberTwo, and because of Kuromorinmine's status as the team to beat, she qualifies as the bad guy's champion.

* BadassBoast: Declares that she will defeat Ōarai without spilling a drop of tea.

Saunders' leader and commander of an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman M4 Sherman]] during the Saunders-Ōarai match.
----
* BadassCreed: See her quote above. Let's put it in perspective: in a world where Tankery is SeriousBusiness enough to justify [[spoiler: disowning one's daughter over preferring lives to victories]], she firmly believes the [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen opposite]]. She utters it only once, so it could be a BadassBoast, but she then she lectures [[spoiler:Miho]] about it, after having behaved that way all the battle [[spoiler:and before and after it]], making clear it's a creed and not a boast.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Saves Alice from Ōarai's pursuit.]]
* BoisterousBruiser: Typically American boisterousness combined with a typical American 30-ton war machine leads to this.
* CavalierCompetitor: Being spied upon? No biggie. Losing first blood to the enemy? Surprising, but interesting! For her, tank combat is ''fun''.
-->''"Exciting!"''
-->''"That's'' Tankery!"''
* {{Eagleland}}: Not actually American, but she represents Type 1 as the friendly sportsman with a lot of firepower.
* {{Foil}}: Nicely contrasts with Anchovy, given that she's laidback and enjoys exciting matches, while Anchovy values victory above all else. This is nicely emphasized in that Kay's match is shown in the anime, while Anchovy's in the manga.
* GenkiGirl: Her energy during a match (or outside a match) is unrivaled in her team.
* [[spoiler: GracefulLoser: Embraces Miho after her loss to Ōarai, then teaches the latter her creed.]]
* GratuitousEnglish: Liberally sprinkles her speeches with American English.
* InformedAttribute: Darjeeling's claim that Saunders often uses "dirty tactics" becomes this after Kay is shown in action, unless Darjeeling somehow knew about [[spoiler:Alice intercepting radio communications]].
* [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen Let's Fight Like Ladies]]: Only pursues Ōarai with four tanks, because [[spoiler:one of her teammates was intercepting their radio transmissions]].
-->''"This is ''Tankery'', not war."''
* LargeHam: A genki girl that loves her sport in a sherman tank? Yes, this is the result.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While [[GenkiGirl genuinely energetic]], she becomes stern and subdued while telling Alice that she wants a word with her regarding [[spoiler:her radio tapping, which ended up backfiring and costing them the match]].
* PassThePopcorn: Munches on a nice container of the stuff in Episode 12 watching the battle with Miho and Maho. Justified because it is a sporting event.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Like Darjeeling, she has the Anglo-Saxon blue eyes and blonde hair gig going for her. Her hair is more strawberry blonde as opposed to Darjeeling's paler color to give off the more wild American vibe.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Believes in the concept of fair play and condemns dirty tricks like [[spoiler:radio interception]].
* WhoWearsShortShorts: She does, and so do the rest of Saunders as part of their combat uniforms. Their school clothes are more typical, just in West Point Grey.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade-B in contrast to Darjeeling's full tights. Again, this is for the 'wild american' vibe.

----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Mentions a guy she likes called "Takashi" who doesn't like her back while her tank is fleeing from Ooarai, though considering her [[VillainousBreakdown mental state]] at the time, she could have just been babbling. She also implies that [[LoveTriangle Takashi likes another girl]], but gives no indication as to whether his love is requited. It's a very cryptic ShoutOut: Hirano voiced Suzumiya Haru''hi'', and [[RumblingHearts Takayuki Narumi]] is whom Suzumiya Haru''ka'' is in love with.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She might not be the best tank commander around and clearly needs a remedial course on good sportsmanship, but episode 5 shows why she's Saunders' Vice-Captain:
** She accurately guesses Ōarai's positions at the time of the radio transmission (time-distance calculation + terrain analysis), translates the very vague "leftwards direction" into a specific set of coordinates (more terrain analysis) and accurately estimates how fast Rabbit Team would get there (time-distance calculation, and it wouldn't have worked unless she got the first two approximately right). She then coordinates the movements of two platoons so the platoon moving in the open comes into view shortly before the flanking platoon moves in through the forest and counters Ōarai's reinforcing element by moving in Naomi's platoon (latter is not quite as impressive because her team has visual contact now, but still requires time-distance calculations). She also figured out the feasibility of withdrawing two tanks back out of commitment and into envelopment ahead of Ōarai's tanks (same). Keep in mind that all this was accomplished using only a radio and a map, without even seeing the battle unfold.
* BoisterousWeakling: For all her boasting, she's an ineffective tank commander. In an amusing symmetry with her calling Ōarai "weaklings". This is {{Discussed}} in the second recap episode (and downplayed because Miho is ''that'' [[NiceGirl nice]]).
* CombatPragmatist: She's willing to seek every advantage in battle.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Saunders had numerical superiority, better tanks and more experienced crews, but Alice just ''had'' to cheat regardless. [[spoiler: This enables Ōarai to turn the tables.]]
* EvilLaugh: She lets rip with one after [[spoiler:intercepting another transmission]], getting some startled looks from her crew.
* GirlishPigtails: Which make her look like a loudmouth brat after tangling with Ōarai.
* GutFeeling: [[BlatantLies She claims]] that her knowledge of Ōarai's positions comes from this.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The reason the numerically superior Saunders units ended up out-of-position, leaving her tank at Ōarai's mercy and convincing Kay to bring matching numbers of tanks during their counterattack? She fell for fake communications (when Miho [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy deduced that their radio transmissions were being intercepted]]), fooling her into [[AttackAttackAttack emptying her guns without informing her allies]].]]
* LargeHam: As the subtropes will explain.
** LaughingMad: As she's running for the hills.
** ChewingTheScenery: Combining mad laughs with non-sequiturs.
* LoopholeAbuse: Technically, [[spoiler:intercepting radio transmissions]] isn't cheating, but it's not good sportsmanship either.
* MissionControl: Serves as one for Saunders and [[spoiler:helped by the radio intercepts]].
* {{Munchkin}}: Her team already had a two-one advantage in numbers, better tanks, and many more veterans, yet she still decided to [[spoiler: eavesdrop on her opponent's communications]] to further increase the odds of winning. Imagine how bad she would be in World of Tanks!
* OhCrap: After realizing Kay disapproves of her actions and wants a word with her in an [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristically stern tone]].
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', she only uses a pair of fake sunglasses as a disguise.]]
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', she decides to infiltrate Ōarai to steal its classified information in revenge for Yukari infiltrating Saunders. However, her disguise is... less than stellar, as Leopon Team finds her suspicious immediately]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Depending on the translation, is "Arisa", "Alisa" or "Alice."
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: When TheCavalry appears she goes back to her ''eeevil'' ranting.
* VillainousBreakdown: When she finds out she was outsmarted and led into a trap, she doesn't take it well and starts babbling incoherently as her tank drives for its life.
* YouthfulFreckles: Her attitude brings to mind a BrattyHalfpint who didn't grow up.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The "ineffectual" part being because their tank is cramped with [[spoiler:[[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat radio spying equipment]]]], to the point of the loader being unable to find her shells in a hurry.
* NoBadassToHisValet: It's clear they don't have a high opinion of Alisa's capabilities.
* NoNameGiven: Hence the fan nicknames.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: When Alice finally gets out of her VillainousBreakdown and stops distracting them, they become quite effective. {{Discussed}} by Miho in the second recap episode.
* SilentSnarker: They ''do'' speak, but most of their frustration at Alice's antics and command (or lack thereof) style is conveyed through exasperated facial expressions.
* ShowDontTell: They get lots of characterization in a very limited screen time. See SilentSnarker above.
* TheReliableOne: They fill the trope so closely that quoting verbatim the first two paragraphs of its page would accurately describe their on-screen time.

----
* BreatherEpisode: The battle against her, sandwiched between Saunders and Pravda, both highly regarded schools that pushed Ooarai onto the brink of defeat, is considerably easier. It's also PlayedForLaughs, as Ōarai didn't even have to fight all the way until sundown.
* ButtMonkey: Apparently, [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/214682/girls-und-panzer-motto-love-love-sakusen-desu_ch7_by_ak-scanlations/4 Chapter 7]] of the ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'' spin-off manga portrayed her as this: first, her appearance [[spoiler:during the meeting of the teams who got beaten by Ōarai Academy during the tournament (including St. Gloriana)]] was apparently blocked with a conveniently-placed speech bubble; second, she later got hit in the face (knocking her out in the process) by a scale model of a dragon wagon; and third, she was apparently left behind at the said meeting place, unaware that the others have left.
* DartboardOfHate: Hits a photo of Miho with a riding crop, and appears to have one of Kay posted on the same bulletin board.
* DefensiveWhat: After Miho [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asks her if she believes that her and her teammates' efforts are meaningless because they lost]].
* DrillHair: Has a couple of these as part of her MegaTwinTails.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Miho points out that [[ThePowerOfFriendship her bonds with her comrades]] are most important, Anchovy points out that it’s a commander’s responsibility to bring victory to them.
* {{Foil}}: Nicely contrasts with Kay, given that she's values victory above all else, while Kay prefers exciting matches. This is emphasized in that Kay's match is shown in the anime, while Anchovy's is shown in the manga. She also contrasts with Katyusha in that both look down on Miho and insult her decision to [[spoiler:save one of her tanks at the cost of the tournament win]], but while Anchovy strives for victory out of a feeling of responsibility to her comrades, Katyusha mainly does it for the sake of her own pride, and [[spoiler:Anchovy is a SoreLoser while Katyusha is a GracefulLoser]]. She also contrasts nicely with both of them in that the other two are good commanders, while she isn't.
* FullNameBasis: Likes calling Miho Nishizumi by her full name in a manner reminiscent of [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Franziska Von Karma]], in addition to the latter’s attitude toward winning.
* GeneralFailure: Her plan to lure Oarai into a trap briefly gives her the advantage, but she gives Oarai far less trouble than their other opponents despite outnumbering them. Unlike other matches, the match doesn't go down to isolating and disabling the enemy flag tank.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: When telling Miho that she doesn't accept her way of Tankery, this trope makes the statement all the ruder.
* HiddenDepths: While obsessed with victory, she says it's a commander's obligation to her team, and as she and Carpaccio are walking away after Anzio's loss, Anchovy apologizes to her, indicating that [[ItsAllMyFault she blames herself for the loss]], in spite of her anger toward Miho and her school.
* {{Jerkass}}: Openly calls Miho's way of Tankery weak before the start of their match in the manga, and makes disparaging allusions to Miho's decision to sacrifice victory to rescue her teammates. After losing, she outright accuses Miho of [[spoiler:being responsible for her team's defeat in the last tournament finals]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Ōarai’s continued existence, something everyone is willing to fight to protect, rides on her team's success in the tournament, although Miho doesn’t know that and it’s unclear whether Anchovy does.]]
* JokeCharacter: The anime doesn't show the fight, just [[CurbstompBattle the result]].
* MegaTwinTails: Easily the largest set in the whole show.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: In the manga, Anzio starts out with the advantage.
* RedBaron: "Il Duce"
* SayMyName: Screams “Miho Nishizumiiiiii!” just before her defeat.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: It's a commander's duty to bring ''first place'' to her subordinates.
* ShutUpKirk: After Miho says there are more important things than victory, namely her comrades, Anchovy tells Miho that if her comrades are so important, she should do her job as commander and win.
* SoreLoser: Doesn't take her defeat at Ōarai's hands well.
* VillainousBreakdown: Late in the match, and into the post-game, she freaks out.

Pravda's commander. She commands from a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-34#T-34-85 T-34/85]] during Ōarai vs. Pravda.
----
* ACupAngst: In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', it's indicated that she's slightly jealous of Nonna's large breasts, as she tries to pretend she has a pair of her own.
* AnalogyBackfire: Suggests that her terms for Ōarai's surrender are generous because she has a heart as large as the Siberian plain. Nonna then asks her if that means her heart is extremely cold.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: WordOfGod (via {{Twitter}}) has it that she got her position because she fired the winning shot during last year's finals.
* BrilliantButLazy: She's a superb commander, but she'll negotiate a ceasefire so she can take a nap.
* CuteLittleFangs: They just peek out, probably accenting her cocky nature.
* DefensiveFeintTrap: She's an expert at these. Ōarai's DarkestHour is caused by one of them.
* EvilCounterpart: To Anzu, in a sense of the OpposingSportsTeam. Aside from a certain haughtiness (like [[spoiler:rubbing Kuromorimine's defeat last year into Miho's face)]], which is largely explained by [[TheNapoleon her own insecurities]], she's yet to display any truly evil behavior. She's also shown to be lazy and relying on her HypercompetentSidekick.
* {{Foil}}: She contrasts with Anchovy in that while both look down on Miho and insult her decision to [[spoiler:save one of her tanks at the cost of the tournament win]], Anchovy strives for victory out of a feeling of responsibility to her comrades, but Katyusha mainly does it for the sake of her own pride, and [[spoiler:Anchovy is a SoreLoser while Katyusha is a GracefulLoser]]
* FreudianExcuse: A flashback in ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'' indicates that some of her schoolmates didn't take her seriously because of her height.
* [[spoiler:GracefulLoser: Mentions that she not angry at losing to Ōarai.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tends to be very bossy and arrogant, not to mention [[spoiler:rubbing the blame for Kuromorimine's loss last year to Miho]], but is nevertheless a decent kid at heart, whose attitude can be easily explained by [[NapoleonComplex her severe stature issues]].
* KneelBeforeZod: Her ultimatum to the cornered Ōarai. It has a FreudianExcuse.
* TheNapoleon: She's very short and is not proud of it. Sometimes she has Nonna give her a piggyback so as to appear taller.
* NoBadassToHisValet: Nina tends to make fun of Katyusha's childish tendencies when a disguised Erwin and Yukari, whom she mistakes for her seniors, bring her up.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** When congratulating Ōarai, she ''gets off Nonna's shoulders''.
** In ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'', after she accidentally [[EyeScream pokes Nonna in the eyes]] while trying to regain her hold on her head, she is horrified and apologizes profusely.
* RedBaron: "Snowdrift" Katyusha.
* SandInMyEyes: [[spoiler:Tried to deny to Nonna that she is about to break down crying after their semifinals loss.]]
* SweetTooth: Usually seen munching on sweets; some of them ending up on her cheek. She even eats jam directly without spreading it on bread or mixing it with tea! To [[ProperLady Darjeeling]], this ammounts to JabbaTableManners.
* ThirdPersonPerson: At her most egotistical, she even appends "-sama" to her own name.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: The shortest girl in the series, a BrattyHalfPint threatening serious punishment and with a huge [[TheNapoleon height complex]].
* TokenMiniMoe: Shorter than even Anzu at a mere 127cm ([[TheNapoleon and incredibly insecure about it]]).
* YouHaveFailedMe: Katyusha warns her teammates that, should they be get taken out, they'll be punished with... 25 days of supplementary classes in a dark classroom. It's unlikely she is serious about that -- after all, sacrificing a few tanks in a DefensiveFeintTrap, as well as protecting the flag tank [[TakingTheBullet with the bodies of the other T-34s]], which implies getting taken out, were her own orders.
** In Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu's second omake, she and Nonna grill Nina about seeing Yukari and Erwin disguised as Pravda students in the fifth OVA. Thankfully, Nina pulls her coat over her head, making her seem even shorter than Katyusha.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Taking care of Katyusha is hard.
* BoobsOfSteel: The most well-endowed girl in the entire cast, and among the best gunners.
* TheCastShowOff: SumireUesaka is not only a foreign language major specializing in Russian, but is also a ''huge'' Russia otaku, so she understands her [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Russian]]. [[WordOfGod An official tweet]] even said that the "Cossack Lullaby" in Episode 9 was ad-libbed by Uesaka herself (the original script called for her to sing any lullaby).
* ColdSniper: Knocked out all of Ōarai's tanks that were hit during the match. [[spoiler:The flipping of the Pz.38(t) was particularly brutal.]]
* CoolBigSis: Serves this role towards the childlike Katyusha by keeping her line and also giving her piggyback rides.
* EyeScream: Victim of an accidental poke in the eye by Katyusha. Luckily, she only needed to get eye drops from the nurse.
* HugeSchoolgirl: The tallest girl in the cast, with official materials listing her height as 172 cm. This fact is highlighted even further given how she's paired with the diminutive Katyusha.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Without Nonna , Katyusha would spend too much time napping and let her ego get away with her
* MeaningfulName: Pravda's best gunner shares a name with a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S9_Nona long-ranged killing machine]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite her serious and stoic demeanor, she enjoys fooling around with Katyusha in the bath.

* ServileSnarker: Katyusha’s second-in command, and the only person who can tell Katyusha to wipe her face, point out her ulterior motives and make fun of her analogies and get away with it without getting yelled at.

Miho's older sister, heir to the Nishizumi school of Tankery, and leader of Kuromorimine's teams. She commands from a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_I Tiger I]].
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Miho. As early as ''Little Army'' Maho never fell for her sister's unconventional tactics. When someone brings up the Nishizumi around Miho, it's to compare her to her elder sister.
* AloofBigSister: She had a serious falling out with Miho. [[spoiler:Not due to any personal disagreement, but because she's the heiress to Nishizumi-style Tankery and so she can't go against her mother's edicts, no matter how much she secretly encourages Miho's path.]]
* AntiVillain: Type IV, as in "Villain in Name Only", because [[spoiler:deep down she genuinely cares for Miho and her chosen path in life, even if she has to overtly break her heart]].
* BadassCreed
-->''"Nishizumi-ryuu Panzerkraft means [[{{Determinator}} always finding a way to move forward]]."\\
"There is no running away in the Nishizumi-style."'' (said just before [[spoiler: her duel with Miho]] begins in the finals)
* BeneathTheMask: Her [[EmotionlessGirl poker face]] is prominently shown throughout the anime -- mainly when her family is involved. ''Little Army'' shows us that she [[spoiler:loves Miho dearly]].
* BenevolentBoss: In Chapter 8 of "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu", it's shown that while she's not as close to her troops as Miho, when they fear being held accountable for their mistakes, she reassures them that they followed her orders well, [[spoiler:and that if anyone, she is responsible for their loss]].
* BusmansHoliday: Played with in ''Little Army''. She spent her entire summer break at the tournament, but gets some time out of school to compensate for that. She ends up getting in a tank match to help Emi reconcile with Miho and learn more about her, and is once shown coming home from helping out with Shiho.
* {{Byronic Hero}}ine: Midway through Episode 10, she even does the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderer_above_the_Sea_of_Fog iconic "back to the viewer, lost in her thoughts" pose]] as straight as it can be played in front of an army of tanks instead of a turbulent sea of fog. That is: a lot.
* TheComicallySerious: In “Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu.”
-->'''Erika''': So you really mean today is a Christmas party, after all?
-->'''Maho''': Haven't I said that since the beginning?
* CoolBigSis: ''Little Army'' reveals that she UsedToBeASweetKid, especially to Miho.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: She knows all about Miho's combat pragmatism and is aware that underdogs shouldn't be underestimated. She watched every one of Miho's matches in the tournament and her practice match against St.Gloriana.
* [[spoiler:DeclarationOfProtection: Her quote, above.]]
* DeusExitMachina: In the last chapter of ''Little Army'', when Miho secludes herself inside a tank [[spoiler:while burdened with her doubts about continuing with tankery and Emi's impending departure]], Sakuyo points out that Maho was usually the one to coax Miho out, but Maho has since returned to school.
* {{Determinator}}: As mentioned above, this is a fundamental principle of the Nishizumi school of Tankery. [[spoiler: It also applies to her personally. She took up the mantle of school heiress so Miho would be free to find her own path.]]
* [[spoiler:DuelBoss: Careful ([[HeroicSacrifice and with high toll]]) maneuvering on Miho's part sets the fight into this instead of HopelessBossFight.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing her own freedom to secure Miho's own]], only to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero fail when Miho followed her anyway]], a [[CrackDefeat last-minute loss to Pravda]], and being forced to [[LoveAcrossBattlelines fight against]] [[DeclarationOfProtection what she wanted for Miho]], she ''finally'' succeeds in [[GoalInLife helping Miho find happiness in her own path]].]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: A subtler example than most, but her decision to PetTheDog by [[spoiler:loaning Mako her team's helicopter despite Erika's protests]], and subsequent justification of it as also being part of Tankery, not only shows her kinder side, but also a belief that kind acts are not exclusive from adhering to [[SeriousBusiness the Nishizumi approach to tankery]].
* FanNickname: Tank [[Manga/{{Saki}} Teru]]. ''Unlike'' Miyanaga Teru, Maho never disavows Miho's existence [[spoiler:and secretly encourages her path in life.]] She can also be considered an {{Expy}} of Teru, given the [[CounterpartComparison parallels the series has to Saki]] (see the YMMV page for more).
* FinalBoss: Not only the head of the final opposing team, but she also commands the flag tank, [[spoiler:and her and Miho's tanks wind up facing each other one-on-one]].
* FriendlyEnemy: To Miho during the practice match, which was the result of a challenge Miho made in order to reconcile with Emi and help her learn more about Maho.
* [[spoiler:GracefulLoser: She doesn't mind losing to Miho in the finals. After all, she won on a personal level -- to allow Miho to succeed in her own Tankery style.]]
* HiddenDepths: ''Little Army'' shows that she is a kinder individual than she first seems, especially toward Miho [[spoiler:for whose sake she strives to live up to being the Nishizumi heir]]. ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu'' shows that she's somewhat socially awkward (but better at hiding it than Miho is because she's more confident) and has difficulty lightening up.
* HeroicSacrifice: Metaphorical example -- [[spoiler:by becoming the perfect Nishizumi-style practitioner, she sacrifices her own sense of morality so Miho would be free to follow her heart]].
* IceQueen: Very cold and distant. [[spoiler:''Little Army'' confirms that this is just an act to complete her image as the Nishizumi family heir.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Little Army'', when Miho asks her if she [[spoiler:ordered her tank to fire on Emi's older sister's team's flag tank when it went to rescue another tank from Maho's team]]. There is some indication that she may be pretending this is the case, as she seems pained when it it is first brought up.
-->"...Miho. What I did was Nishizumi style Panzer-kraft. [[spoiler:I gave the order to shoot]]."
* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Forced to act abrasively towards her little sister in order to allow her to follow her style. During ''Little Army'', she's friendly toward Miho until Shiho arrives, at which point she has to coldly brush off Miho when she asks about her decision to shoot the enemy flag tank that was trying to save her teammate. After Miho summons the nerve to ask their mother about the necessity of such an action, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness which Maho noted was unlike her]], she later privately apologizes to her for her sudden change in attitude.]]
* TheLeader: Of Kuromorimine. Like her sister, she overlaps in the types: planning ([[spoiler: hide a Maus in the town in case Miho tried to force UrbanWarfare]]), levelheaded (TheStoic), and charismatic (the perfect Nishizumi style practioner).
* MeaningfulName: Most likely the Nishizumi clan is related to Nishizumi Kojiro, a famous tank hero during the Sino-Japanese War.
* MsFanservice: Although not apparent in the Anime, [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/216449/girls-und-panzer-motto-love-love-sakusen-desu_ch8_by_ak-scanlations/8 chapter 8]] of the second spin-off shows that she can fill a sexy Christmas-themed dress quite well.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Implied. [[spoiler:For all her efforts in keeping Miho from the pressures associated to being a Nishizumi, this is all came to naught when Miho follows her into Kuromorimine anyway.]]
* NiceToTheWaiter: She's friendly and courteous to the Nishizumi family maids, in contrast to her mother.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While she is seen as a stern, yet calm leader of Kuromorimine's Tankery team, chapter 8 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'' portrays her as this (See below entry.)
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Around the time her mother is [[spoiler:considering disowning Miho]], Maho starts more openly expressing her opinion on matters when such opinions go against Shiho, when this would be almost unthinkable for her before.
** Played for laughs in the second spin-off manga. She acts friendly toward her teammates in the holiday party, [[spoiler:which takes place after their defeat in the finals]]. Unfortunately, they notice that she's not acting like herself and (mistakenly) fear that she’s planning to hold a review meeting to take them to task for their mistakes.
* PetTheDog
** Allows her team chopper to [[spoiler:carry Mako quickly to the hospital to see her bedridden grandmother]].
** When Shiho seems ready to conclude that Pravda will beat Ooarai, Maho asks her to stay, convinced Miho has a chance to turn it around, which indicates that she thinks more of her and Ooarai's potential than she lets on, as does her statement that the win was a result of her own skill, rather than her opponent's carelessness.
** In ''Little Army'', she gives Emi some ointment after she hits her head on the inside of the tank. Emi, who had previously hated her, takes note of the action, and begins to warm up to Maho.
* TheStoic: She rarely shows emotion, as befits the heir of the Nishizumi school. [[NotSoStoic The one time she lets her facade slip when she's trying not to]] is when she sees that Miho has brought her friends over in order to ask her mother [[spoiler:whether it was necessary for her to fire on the flag tank that was rescuing her teammates]]. Her expression turns surprised as she says "Miho...".
* TerseTalker: In her e-mails, as shown in "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu". ("Those without anything for Christmas, come.")
* [[spoiler:{{Tragic Hero}}ine: It's revealed at the end of ''Little Army'' that the reason she puts on her JerkassFacade is to free ''Miho'' from the constrictive Nishizumi-style Tankery, so she can find her own way, only for it to be voided when Miho takes up the style anyways between prequel and anime and then quitting Tankery altogether. Then she is forced to confront her sister while wearing the JerkassFacade she put on trying to protect her. Thankfully, in the end, Miho succeeds and declares that she has found her own way of tankery]]
* [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful Bitch]]: What Emi thought of her orders to [[spoiler:shoot down the enemy flag tank en route to rescuing one of ''her own'' teammates]]. Dowplayed, in that she seems genuinely remorseful over that.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: ''Little Army'' reveals this, both in her interactions with Miho until their mother returns home, and flashbacks showing the two as young children. [[spoiler:Despite her aloof facade, though, she does still care for Miho as much as ever, as seen after the final match]].
* VillainRespect: When [[AbusiveParents Shiho]] attributes Ooarai's success [[spoiler:against Pravda]] to blind luck and the enemy's carelessness, she openly disagrees and explicitly atributes it to Miho's intellect and Ooarai's motivation and teamwork spirit. In the practice match against Miho in ''Little Army'', she seems pleased when Miho manages to avoid a few of her shots.
* WalkingSpoiler: A fair number of her tropes are spoilers, particularly [[spoiler:how she truly feels about Miho]].
* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well done, Daughter" Gal]]: Maho is carrying on the Nishizumi style to please her mother.
** ''Little Army'' Chapter 7 reveals an even deeper reason: [[spoiler:she voluntarily took on the role of heiress to allow Miho to live her life freely, untethered by the strictures of the Nishizumi school.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:Admitting to shooting the flag tank during its rescue mission]] in ''Little Army''.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Quite possibly her reaction to her mother telling her that [[spoiler:shooting the German flag tank]] was the right thing to do, since she doesn't seem at all happy about it.

* {{Foil}}: To Yukari. Yukari likes Nishizumi ''Miho'' while Erika likes ''Nishizumi'' Maho (notice the emphasis). Erika quotes Guderian, while Yukari would like to claim Guderian as a ''nom de guerre''.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[spoiler:The series director vowed there would be no PantyShot in the series, but dared the animation team to go and try to sneak one in. They resorted to proxy, through [[https://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/a/image/1363/64/1363643667900.jpg one of Erika's crewmen]] sitting next to her superior, apparently staring up through her legs even as Erika was [[VillainousBreakdown into a screaming fit]].]]
* [[spoiler:GracefulLoser: After her VillainousBreakdown during the final match over her tank falling to a tactical trap and shock at seeing Maho's flag tank disabled, she was last seen in a calmer mood and wearing a smile of resignation, vowing to Ōarai that [[WeWillMeetAgain the next time they meet it will be Kuromorimine's time to shine]].]]
* HumiliationConga: Episode 11-- [[SmugSnake big on ego, but lacking Maho's discipline]], she gets increasingly infuriated as the "nobodies" from Ōarai [[SpannerInTheWorks keep making unpredictable moves]], leading her to make more and more amateur mistakes. [[spoiler:She ends up trying to chase Ōarai by herself before her Tiger throws a track and lands ignominiously in a ditch, leaving her unable to do much more than [[VillainousBreakdown throw a temper tantrum on national TV]].]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Insults Miho, insults Ōarai, acts all arrogant and protests one of Maho's pet the dog moments.
* KickTheDog: In addition to her insults toward Miho, she ''protests'' Maho's PetTheDog moment. From this moment you know she's a jerkass.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When she saw Miho defeating Maho.]]
* SeriousBusiness: For Erika, victory is the only thing that matters. {{Graceful Loser}}s are "too laid back". Incidentally, that's the core rule of the Nishizumi tankery school.
-->''(To Miho, right before the finals)'' [[BadassBoast "I'll crush your heresy."]]
* ShutUpKirk
-->'''Yukari''': "[[WithDueRespect If I may say something]], I don't think Miho-san's decision was incorrect in the match we had."
-->'''Erika''': "I think someone needs to mind their own business."
-->'''Yukari''': "I'm sorry."
* SmugSnake: Maho appears to be the only person she treats with a modicum of respect.
* [[spoiler:TantrumThrowing: When she was unable to use her main gun against Ōarai, she fires her tank's machine gun at them in frustration over not being able to retaliate while they disappear from the smoke.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When her Tiger II suffers a breakdown in Episode 11 due to no reason other than being a [[ShownTheirWork historically]] breakdown-prone Tiger II, she curses, screams, raises her fists and stomps the ground; on national TV.]]

!!Commander, Jagdpanther
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jagdpanther-chan_4645.jpg
-->''"We just fixed that! ({{beat}}) Hey! Our track is really heavy!"''
The [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] commander of a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdpanther Jagd]][[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin panther]] in Kuromorimine vs. Ōarai, whose tracks Anzu destroys twice.
----
* AscendedMeme: In "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu", she shows up late to Maho's holiday party.
-->'''Jagdpanther Commander''': Fuu~ made it on time.
-->'''[[spoiler: Panzer VIII Maus]] Commander''': "Made it on time"? Like hell you did! Read the mood!
* ButtMonkey: See page quote.
* {{Determinator}}: She fixes her tracks ''twice'' in the same match in time to form alongside Maho.
* [[MrFixit Miss Fixit]]: She (and presumably her crew as well) works very hard to repair her tank's tracks in record time to return to battle.
* MyNewGiftIsLame: She's horrified and traumatized to receive the model of the tank that caused her so much trouble in the finals, but noticing that Maho is looking her way, hides those feelings and says she's grateful to Miho.
* ImpersonationGambit: She's in the receiving end of this when Anzu then [[spoiler:takes Jagdpanther-chan's intended position in Kuromorimine's battle line.]]
* MilkingTheGiantCow: Her reaction at the above (also see her first quote).
* NoNameGiven: Hence the FanNickname "Jagdpanther-chan". In Pixiv, she was designated as "Ritaiko" (aka "Track Girl").

!!Koume Akeboshi
-->''"I've been worried ever since you left. Since we caused problems for you, and everything... But I'm glad you didn't quit Tankery, Miho-san."''
A member of the Kuromorimine tankery team [[spoiler:whom Miho saved from drowning in the last tournament]].
----
* FriendlyEnemy: Despite being on an opposing side, she’s glad that Miho’s still doing tankery.
* [[spoiler:IOweYouMyLife: Is grateful to Miho for saving her, as Yukari predicted]].
* ItsAllMyFault: She blamed herself for Miho leaving Kuromorimine.
* NiceGirl: She’s cheerful, friendly and grateful toward Miho.
* NoNameGiven: Her name is not revealed anywhere in the series itself, and instead is first revealed in one of the card extras from the Blu-Rays.
* OnlySaneMan: The only one of Maho's guests who doesn't obsess about her mistakes during the holiday party, and the only one who immediately recognizes the holiday party for what it is.
* TearsOfJoy: You can see them in her eyes when she says she's glad Miho didn't quit tankery.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She seems to see herself as such, [[spoiler:given that the fallout from Miho saving her and her crew resulted in Miho leaving]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Her entire character is based around a fairly significant plot point.
!![[spoiler:[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus Panzer VIII Maus]]]]
Kuromorimine's secret weapon, which they bring out for the finals of the tournament. This is the only non-Ōarai tank to be treated as a character.
----
* [[spoiler:AttackItsWeakPoint: Taken down for good by Hana firing at the air slits on the back.]]
* BonusBoss: A non-video game example. It's a tougher-than-the-FinalBoss obstacle that could have been avoided.
* TheDreaded: Even Katyusha is intimidated by seeing it.
* FluffyTheTerrible: One of its WWII designers had a... sense of humor. This is {{Lampshaded}} by one of its victims.
--> '''Sodoko:''' "What's so '[[spoiler:mouse]]' about something that big?!"
* HeroKiller: It has the best record of taking out Ōarai tanks of any single opposing tank. [[spoiler:Mallard and Hippo Team are taken down, and Turtle Team is damaged to the point of collapse in the process of defeating it.]]
* TheJuggernaut: Its armor is so strong that Ōarai's tanks can't hurt it. Five of them fire simultaneously but it shrugs off the shots and continues moving. [[spoiler: Miho's plan to defeat it includes stopping it as step 1. She had to shove Turtle Team under its tracks and then direct Duck Team over Turtle to block its turret]].
* MightyGlacier: It shrugs off everything Ōarai can throw at it and can take any of them out with one hit (even near misses can toss their tanks around), but is ''very'' slow.
* WalkingSpoiler: The nature of this tank is a big deal for the FinalBattle.
