Description
Gundula Rall commands the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, known as the Brave Witches, and ranks as the world's third most accomplished Witch, defined by exceptional combat skill and leadership. Her character draws historical inspiration from Günther Rall, the third-highest-scoring flying ace of World War II with 274 confirmed aerial victories, mainly achieved against Soviet aircraft on the Eastern Front.
Severe combat injuries sustained during the critical Karlsland evacuation fractured multiple vertebrae in her back, resulting from a momentary lapse in concentration. This necessitated extensive medical treatment and prolonged rehabilitation. Though she regained full physical capability, she must wear a specialized corset reinforced with enchanted fibers during combat operations to prevent aggravating these past injuries.
As a leader, Gundula exhibits a strong, self-assured, and pragmatic command style. She approaches responsibilities with a forthright and dynamic demeanor, often described as commanding with a candid, older-sister firmness. This contrasts with more nurturing commanders or persistent styles like Pokryshkin's. Despite her serious role, she maintains a relaxed disposition and good-natured humor, shaping her unique leadership dynamic within the 502nd. Her paramount priority remains the safety of her subordinates, and she frequently consults her close advisor, Edytha Rossmann, on strategic matters.
Within the comedic alternate universe of *World Witches: Take Off!*, her leadership faces non-combat tests. Her authority meets limits, for instance, when she fails to secure the release of Hikari, Edytha, and others after their arrest for attempting to purchase alcohol as minors. Her responsibilities also include overseeing Hikari's integration into the 502nd unit following Takami's accidental departure.
Physically, utilizing her magic manifests wolf-like ears and a tail. Her standard equipment includes a Striker Unit modeled after variants of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 aircraft, and she is typically armed with an MG 42 machine gun. Her nationality is Karlsland (Germany), and she holds the military rank of Squadron Leader.
