OVA
Description
Leona Ozaki is a young female officer serving in the Newport City Tank Police, a special armored unit that combats rampant crime in a heavily polluted future metropolis. She is approximately twenty-three years old, stands about five feet six inches tall, and has type B blood. In the original Dominion Tank Police series her hair is a vivid red, while in New Dominion Tank Police it appears more auburn and her eyes are light brown. She is a Japanese Buddhist and lives at home with her mother and younger brother, though she prefers to spend her time at the Tank Police headquarters.
Leona began her police career in the Motorcycle Patrol before transferring to the Tank Police. Early on she served as a gunner aboard Captain Brenten's Tiger Special tank; during a pursuit she fired the main gun with such force that the tank was flipped over and destroyed, but her shot successfully stopped the fleeing criminal Buaku. Using the wreckage of the Tiger, she and fellow officer Al built a compact, highly agile mini-tank which she named Bonaparte. Bonaparte is armed with a short-barreled 75 or 105 millimeter cannon capable of firing armor-piercing, rubber, or adhesive glue shells, a rear-mounted machine gun, smoke projectors, and a sophisticated sensor suite. The vehicle is agile enough to perform maneuvers such as boosting over walls and climbing narrow spaces, and Leona is fiercely protective of it; any scratch or dent can send her into a rage.
Leona is impulsive, hot-tempered, and quick to reach for overwhelming firepower. She fully embraces the Tank Police philosophy that there is a state of war against criminals, that no amount of force is excessive, and that the ends justify the means. This zeal often leads to heavy collateral damage and friction with both her superiors and the public. Despite her recklessness, she is a skilled combatant with training in police procedures, armored vehicle operation, firearms, and hand-to-hand fighting. She carries standard police gear including an armored jacket, pistol, submachine gun, handcuffs, and nightstick.
Within the Tank Police unit, Leona is the only female officer on active duty in her squad. She shares a working partnership with Al, her tank driver, and has a professional rivalry with Captain Brenten, who initially doubted her ability to truly care for a tank. Over time she earns the acceptance of her colleagues as a dedicated and effective officer. Her primary recurring adversaries are the criminal Buaku and his android accomplices, the Puma Sisters. In New Dominion Tank Police, her role continues as she patrols Newport City, often causing destruction in the pursuit of justice, while remaining obsessively devoted to Bonaparte and the ideals of the Tank Police.
