aleksandra i pokryshkin
Aleksandra I. Pokryshkin (Александра И.[Ивановна] Покрышкин, アレクサンドラ・I・ポクルイーシキン) is a Strike Witches character, an Orussian witch of the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, captain from the Orussian Army's 216th Fighter Aviation Regiment, and Orussia's top flying ace. Her familiar is a polar bear.
The character has been inspired by Russian ace Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin, who was nicknamed "Engineer" when he was a teenager, to which Aleksandra's mechanical inclinations are a reference.
Aleksandra's family name seems to break the rules of real-world Russian, where this type of last name should absolutely have a feminine suffix ("Pokryshkina").
Aleksandra is structured and sometimes perfectionistic, often acting as foil to the hijinks of Krupinski and the carelessness of Katajainen. With Nikka, Aleksandra is portrayed as especially close; despite the constant headache of having to repair Nikka's broken units, it has brought them together in a certain "care-taker" sort of way.
