Personality[]

She is very close to Darjeeling, but she loads the shells with precision. She is usually the victim to Darjeeling's words of wisdom, many of which she doesn't seem to understand.
She is also said to be very skilled at making tea.
Background[]
After their exhibition match against Ooarai Girls Academy, she is always seen accompanying Darjeeling to watch Ooarai's matches. She seems dubious of Ooarai's chances of winning at first, but before the beginning of the finals, she following Darjeeling soon starts to take up their side as well, joining all of Ooarai's previous adversaries.
In Ribbon Warrior, she is the commander of the Chindits team. She defeated Rukuriri and the regular Sensha-dō team in a tankathlon match by acting as bait while Rosehip attacked from behind but was later defeated by Jajka as she had anticipated an attack from the rear and knocked out Rukuriri as she emerged to ambush them and then quickly eliminated the rest of the Chindits.
Trivia[]

- Orange Pekoe's birthday, July 10th, marks the beginning of the Allied invasion of Sicily, also known as Operation "Husky".

- In the Omake episode 'Mini Pekoe' of Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!(included in Volume 4), Orange Pekoe turned out to have a younger cousin who bears a striking resemblance to her. Assam decided to name the cousin 'Mini Pekoe' from the fact that she looks like a mini version of the Original Orange Pekoe, and Darjeeling tries to give Mini-Pekoe a piggyback ride. Not so soon however, it turned out that everything happened before in the episode were Orange Pekoe's dream when she briefly became unconscious, due to Darjeeling's terrible attempts at trying to give Orange Pekoe a piggy back ride. Although Mini Pekoe turned out to be a fictitious being in the world of Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!, she later appears in more Omake episodes as the protagonist, which all have a twist in the end, revealing that the episode was just someone's dream.
