Squad 7 shocktrooper, age 17. As a self-proclaimed actress growing up in a tiny rural town, she was quite the starlet.  Though proud, she lacks coping skills. Unable to forgive anyone who draws the public's eye away from her, she feels a strong (and one-sided) sense of rivalry against Rosie, the squad's top trooper.  Upon hearing of Rosie's success singing, she tried to become an even bigger star, only to find she was tone-deaf. She is now training to become a real actress.  (Source: GameFAQs)

Valkyria Chronicles is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe. The continent, called Europa, is divided into two main powers: The Imperial Empire, a monarchy in the east, and the alliance of democracies called the Federation in the west. In this world, there is a very important resource called ragnite; its uses range from fueling weapons of war to use in medical treatments. Since ragnite is such an important resource, the Federation and the Empire are constantly at war with each other for it. 
The story takes place in the neutral country of Gallia, known for its bountiful reserves of ragnite, when the Empire decides to invade and seize the ragnite for themselves. The story follows Welkin, the son of a former war hero; Isara, Welkin's Darcsen adoptive sister; and Alicia, a member of the Bruhl town watch, as they fight the Imperials in the ragtag Gallian militia group, Squad 7. 
Squad 7 fights to regain their homes and livelihoods with Welkin as the squad leader and commander of the Edelweiss tank; Alicia as a scout; Isara as the pilot of the Edelweiss, and a variety of colorful individuals.

The story is set in a fictional version of Europe in 1930, in the country of Gallia. Because of its abundance of ragnite ore&mdash;which can be refined into a powerful fuel&mdash;it has come under attack from the East European Imperial Alliance, which itself is engaged in war with the Atlantic Federation. 
The story revolves around Gallian soldiers led by Welkin Gunther, son of Gallian war hero General Belgen Gunther, in a bid to reclaim their war-torn neutral nation from Imperial Alliance forces and drive them off from Gallian soil after they had launched an invasion into the country.

This manga spin-off of the RPG Valkyria Chronicles is aimed at a female audience.  The story is centered around two original characters--Mintz, an orphaned Darcsen engineer, and Julius Klose, an aloof, talented sniper.
