Tatiana Wisla
From Last Exile
Tatiana Wisla (Τατιανα Φισλα) (タチアナ・ヴィスラ ?) is the only child of "the proud and noble" Wisla house of Anatoray. At the age of seventeen, Tatiana left home to become a member of the newly-formed Anatoray Military Vanship Corps, a new military division dedicated to using vanships as weapons as opposed to just couriers and transports. She excelled in both piloting and dogfighting, quickly becoming one of the best vanship pilots in the sky, possibly second only to Alex Row. She sent all the extra money she made as an ace pilot back to her family so that her mother could care for her ailing father. Before too long, she found herself on the Silvana as Row's handpicked wing commander for his small vanship fighter fleet.
With her trusted friend, confidant, and navigator, Alister Agrew, she quickly becomes one of the most dreaded forces in the sky next to the Silvana herself, for which the technicians on-board the Silvana start calling her the "princess." Her cold demeanor manages to alienate even her close friend Alister. Beneath her cold exterior though, we occasionaly see glimpses of her remaining a simple girl loving her family and wanting to make them proud.
Tatiana Wisla's seiyū in the original Japanese anime is Eri Kitamura, and she is voiced by Michelle Ruff in the English adaptation.

[edit] Character Profile
[edit] Personality
Tatiana is a strong willed young woman, who doesn't take things lightly but does have a certain amount of respect for people. She is constantly focused on battle, and little else out of the field.
Tatiana is second best to no one in her own mind, but her overconfident self-view is challenged when she meets Claus, whose piloting skills rival her own. From then on, her feelings toward Claus go on a roller coaster, making her feel anger, disgust, awe, respect, fear, and even attraction to the young vanship pilot. Her frosty aloofness is clearly a self-defensive façade; she suffers a mental breakdown of sorts after getting shot down over the desert, but recovers, and from that time she begins to show a greater depth of feeling, especially towards Claus.
[edit] Vanship
Tatiana pilots a twin-engine vanship fighter which she painted red to distinguish herself from the other pilots as well as all other vanships in the sky.
