Klara is a student at Pravda Girls High School, having recently transferred from Novosibirsk. She swiftly joined Katyusha's trusted team as commander and gunner of a T-34/85 tank due to her Sensha-dÅ skill. Her transfer reportedly occurred accidentally; distracted by television and non-alcoholic vodka, she signed enrollment papers mistaking them for a sleepover consent form. Nonna later suggested this account was fabricated during a Drama CD interrogation.
Her appearance features straight blond hair reaching upper-back length with a distinctive strand sticking out on the left side, light blue eyes, and a stature slightly shorter than Nonna. She consistently wears the standard Pravda uniform.
Personality-wise, Klara exhibits notable calmness and measured grace, maintaining composure even in adverse battle conditions. She demonstrates social aptitude, engaging practically with students from other schools more readily than Nonna. She prefers speaking Russian, even with Japanese-speaking opponents, frequently irritating Katyusha â contrasting her later-revealed fluency in Japanese, which surprises Katyusha. Her fondness for non-alcoholic vodka is established, cited in her transfer mishap.
In *Girls und Panzer der Film*, Klara temporarily transfers to Ooarai Girls Academy alongside Katyusha, Nonna, and other Pravda students to reinforce the Ooarai Compound Team against the All-Stars University Team. During the decisive match, she deliberately sacrifices her tank to ensure the successful retreat of Katyusha and fellow teammates, highlighting her tactical loyalty.
The spin-off manga *Saga of Pravda* presents an alternate portrayal where her personality diverges significantly. She is depicted as arrogant, aggressive, and emotionally disturbed, exhibiting solipsistic tendencies and treating others contemptuously â except Nonna, whom she credits for "awakening" her cold heart, and Katyusha, who challenges her worldview. This version expresses internal turmoil, including numbness and a metaphorical "hole in her chest," leading to frequent outbursts.
Her relationships include a close, possibly motherly dynamic with Katyusha, paralleling Nonna's care. Familial details are sparse; her father works for a foreign intelligence agency, which she allegedly utilized to gather information on Katyusha, including a childhood photograph. Speculation exists regarding her mother's identity potentially being a figure named Viktoria. Her bond with Nonna is particularly emphasized, characterized by mutual understanding and shared responsibility for Katyusha's well-being.
Additional trivia notes her singing ability and a design based on her voice actress, Jenya Davidyuk. Fandom theories occasionally reference a past as a Russian soldier who moved to Pravda for Nonna, pledging to remain in Japan to assist with Katyusha's care.
