Sanya, whose real name is Alexandra Vladimirovna Litvyak (Russian: Александра Владимировна Литвяк, Aleksandra Vladimirovna Litvyak), is the sole witch in the 501st out of the Orussian Empire at 13 years old. Preferring to stay indoors during the day, Sanya has been described as "nocturnal." Despite this somewhat limiting her contact with the other members of the 501st, her low profile makes her ideal for night missions. Helping her in this duty is her magical specialty, the ability to read signals such as radio waves that are invisible to the naked eye, giving her an advanced spatial awareness. Sanya gains the ears and tail of a black cat with her Striker Unit equipped. Sanya's rank is Lieutenant and her original unit affiliation is the Orussian Imperial Army 586th Fighter Regiment. Her weapon of choice is a modified Fliegerfaust called the "Fliegerhammer." Her Striker Unit design is based on the MiG-60 (a fictional warbird combining features of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-1 and MiG-3, and Yakovlev Yak-1), later a MiG I-225 (a fictional warbird based mainly on the MiG-3).
Strike Witches
When humanity is threatened by an alien menace, when all other options have been exhausted, mankind’s last line of defence will not be tanks, planes, or battleships – rather, it will be brave young girls who take to the skies to fight for the planet! Set in a world that’s both familiar and yet strangely different to our own, STRIKE WITCHES revolves around a team of girls with magical powers, who wear special fighter plane equipment in order to fight in thrilling aerial battles. In this world, the Industrial Revolution was powered by magic rather than steam - and the Wright Sisters invented a magical aircraft to replace broomsticks. Following the progress of these girls through this bitter war, STRIKE WITCHES will chart their triumphs, their tragedies, their friendships and their rivalries. In a world torn asunder by war, these innocent young women come of age on the battlefield - all against the backdrop of some of the most stunning aerial battles ever seen in any visual medium. Thrilling battles, superb mecha and high drama– STRIKE WITCHES delivers in full on the promise of Japanese animation!
