- ―Klara
Klara (rus. Клара) is a supporting character of Girls und Panzer who appears in the movie Girls und Panzer der Film, the spin-off manga Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!, the theatrical film Das Finale and in the Drama CD.
Profile[]
Klara is a recently transferred student to Pravda Girls High School. According to Nonna, she is from Novosibirsk, an actual city in Russia, She is good at Sensha-dō, as she managed to be part of Katyusha's trusted team in a short length of time. Also, she takes good decisions and predictions regarding the enemies behavior in battle. She is the commander and gunner of her tank, a T-34/85.
Appearance[]
Klara is a beautiful girl with upper-back length straight blond hair that has a single strand sticking out on the left side, light blue eyes and she is slightly shorter than Nonna.
Personality[]
Like Nonna, Klara is a very calm girl as she never raises her voice or loses her temper, even during unfavorable conditions during Sensha-dō matches. Everything she does is with the same measured grace and calculated resolve. She is more social compared to Nonna in a practical manner, even interacting with students of other schools. She appears to enjoy non-alcoholic vodka, as she holds a bottle in the end of the movie after Ooarai Girls Academy's victory against the All-Stars University Team and according to Nonna, she was drinking it when she mistakenly signed the transfer papers to Pravda. Klara speaks Russian and has a habit of conversing with Nonna in this language, which annoys Katyusha. However it is later revealed that she also speaks fluent Japanese, which surprises Katyusha.
In Saga Of Pravda, however, she has a completely different personality from what we see in the movies. She is a very arrogant, aggressive and disturbed girl, which has gone completely insane because of her solipsistic view of the world and others around her. Because of this, she constantly treats other people like despicable and useless creatures. Except for Nonna, who was the only one who, in her own words, "awakened" something in her cold heart, and also Katyusha, who completely broke this illusion she was living in. She also raises her voice a lot, as in Chapter 20 she's constantly screaming at Nonna while they fight, talking about how she feels numb and has a "hole in the middle of her chest", which causes all of this constant pain and suffering. Also about how she is disappointed Nonna isn't the same, and is "full" instead.
Family[]
Little is known about Klara's family other than that her father works for a foreign intelligence agency, which she used to gather information about Katyusha, including a photo of her as a baby.
Background[]
Klara, along with Katyusha, Nonna, Nina, Alina and some other Pravda students, temporarily transferred to Ooarai Girls Academy in order to join the Ooarai Compound Team against the All-Stars University Team.
During the fight against the All-Stars University Team, Klara sacrifices her tank in order to ensure a successful retreat for Katyusha and the others.
In the drama CD, Katyusha interrogates her, but as she only speaks in Russian most of the time, Nonna handles the translation. They have a friendly discussion to see who knows more about what makes Katyusha so great and exchanged some secrets. Meanwhile, Nonna translated the reasons for Klara's transference, the given reason is that Klara was watching TV and drinking non-alcoholic vodka when she signed what she thought was a sleep-over consent form, when in reality they were enrollment papers to Pravda that supposedly would result in an enormous breach-off contract fee that her family could not afford if she refused to enroll. However this was false translation given by Nonna to fool Katyusha while they discussed Katyusha facts.
Etymology[]
Trivia[]
- Klara cares for Katyusha in a similar, if not the same, way as Nonna.
- This could be a tip of the possible mother and daughter relationship both Klara and Nonna share with Katyusha as both of them have a motherly behavior towards her.
- Klara is a very good singer.
- Klara was designed after Jenya Davidyuk who voiced Klara herself.
- Klara used to be a russian soldier, but moved to Pravda because of Nonna. She promised she was going to stay in Japan with her, helping her take care of Katyusha.
- It is believed that Klara's mother is also the General, who is Viktoria.
- It is stated by Nonna in the CD Drama that Klara ended up in Pravda because she accidentally signed transfer papers thinking it was to a sleepover party. This story, however, is probably not true. Due to it being very stupid and also the fact that Klara never said that and Nonna was constantly lying about the translations to Katyusha.
- In Saga Of Pravda, Klara has little fangs.
- This is probably because, in certain panels, she is compared to a wolf.
