OVA
Description
Leona Ozaki operates within the fictional setting of New Port City. Originally a member of the Osaka Women's Motorcycle Police Unit, she transferred to the Tank Police division. She initially struggled to adapt to their aggressive tactics under squad leader Charles Brenten. Her early difficulties peaked when she accidentally destroyed Brenten's tank during a pursuit of the criminal Buaku, causing significant property damage and prompting Brenten's attempt to reassign her. Determined to prove herself, she rebuilt the wreckage into a customized mini-tank named Bonaparte. Demonstrating its resilience and effectiveness in combat secured her position within the unit.
Bonaparte represents her primary emotional focus, receiving intense affection and protective concern. She reacts strongly to any damage or disrespect directed toward the tank, prioritizing it above interpersonal relationships. This attachment originated from her pre-Tank Police affinity for metal objects, described as making her "tingly". Bonaparte was destroyed during a confrontation with Buaku's gang but later replaced by a city-commissioned upgraded model meeting her specifications.
Her personality exhibits impulsiveness, a volatile temper, and minimal patience, often resorting to brute force or excessive firepower against criminals and protesters. She carries an Ingram MAC-10 submachine gun due to its firing rate and has a tendency to destroy coffeemakers when frustrated. Despite her hardened demeanor, she maintains concern for civilian welfare, such as investigating hazardous activities like Smart-Ball after learning of associated fatalities. Her professional reputation involves collateral damage and trigger-happy behavior, contributing to her commanding officer's stress-related health issues.
Her dynamic with partner Al involves unacknowledged romantic tension. Al demonstrates clear affection, including life-saving actions like redirecting clean oxygen to her gas mask during bacterial poisoning and taking a bullet intended for her. Though she displays genuine distress when Al is endangered and nearly kisses him once, Bonaparte consistently remains her primary focus, leaving their relationship undeveloped.
In later continuity, Leona confronts personal stakes when her former motorcycle unit colleague Sharon is murdered amid corporate conspiracies involving arms manufacturer Dai Nippon Geiken and shadowy entities like the Rockford Corporation. This period shows her further embracing the Tank Police's destructive methods, exceeding even Brenten's enthusiasm for property damage during operations. However, she participates in protecting Mayor Weatherbee during assassination attempts, aligning with the unit's shift toward confronting corporate corruption and unmanned warfare technologies.
Physically, she is approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing around 117 pounds, with brown eyes. Her hair color varies across adaptations, depicted as red in earlier material and auburn or dark brown in later iterations. Her skills include proficiency in martial arts, demolitions, tank operation, combat driving for both motorcycles and tanks, and firearms handling.
