Hanna-Justina Marseille is a secondary character in the mecha musume franchise, Strike Witches, which follows the lives and battles of a group of magical girls as they combat an alien threat in an alternate history retelling of World War 2 era conflicts. Each girl in the cast is based on a real life historical ace, shown either in personality or accomplishments throughout the series. She is based Hans-Joachim Marseille, the German ace known as the "Star of Africa". (Courtesy of the Strike Witches wikia) Hanna-Justina Wallia Rosalind Sieglinde Marseille is a Witch of the 31st Joint Fighter Squadron Afrika, originating from Karlsland. She is affiliated with the Karlsland Air Force and her home unit: the Luftwaffe's JG27, in Africa. An ultra-ace with the highest shot-down records in the North African front called "Star of Africa" out of her prodigious air combat skills and sparkling beauty. Some also know her as "Desert Eagle" and - after her machine's call sign - "Gelb Vierzehn" (gerubefiasheen), but those close to her simply call her Tina. Her familiar is the Steller's Sea Eagle. In October 1942, her first familiar died in middle of combat. In order to mourn its death as a comrade in arms, she raised a gravestone in form of pyramid right beneath the combat airspace. Her current familiar is the child of the first.
