Tries to be cool and detatched, particularly in battle, but is probably one of the more emotional and big-hearted girls in the unit.<br/><br/>LIKES: Iron Maiden, the Beatles, Eskimo Pie (no sniggering in the back there)<br/><br/>DISLIKES: Neuroi, people who mistake her as an Aussie, her barely controlled landings, seeing others in pain, emotional or physical.<br/><br/>PASSIVE ABILITIES: (NOTE: Limit 2. Passive abilities are active all the time while familiar is manifested.)<br/><br/>SPECIAL ABILITY: (NOTE: limit 1. Special abilities are techniques that can be summoned during battle for limited duration, but have a cost to using.)<br/><br/>BACKGROUND: Raised in Thames, a rural town in the backwaters of New Friesland, Annabelle Gemma Price (Annie to her friends) was raised on the stories of the Witches from the 1939-1945 war, especially those about the Kiwi Witches like Colleen Falkland Grey. Practically as soon as she manifested her magical talents, at the age of 12, she joined the RNFAF, and threw herself heart and soul into proving she had The Right Stuff and that the Sky was Not The Limit for her, to play off the RNFAF recruitment adverts of the time. Sheer happenstance was all that kept her from taking part in the initial operations against the resurgant Neuroi, and that was probably what saved her.<br/><br/>At the time, the New Friesland Government was planning on replacing the combat aircraft of both its' regular Air Force and its' Strike Witches - both forces used refurbished 1960's Douglas A-4 Skyhawks as their combat units. Initially the RNFAF was to recieve two squadrons worth of F-16A aircraft and strikers on a long-term lease, but the events in the Middle East caused a hasty rethink, and more modern F-16C Block 40 units were outright purchased at a reduced cost. As one of the RNFAF's top combat pilots, Annie has been flying with one of the USAF's Viper squadrons to familiarise herself with the F-16's characteristics. It's been rather... eventful so far, to say the least, given the Generational gap between Striker Units based on a mid-1960's Attack Jet and those based on a late 1980's computer-assisted Multirole Combat Aircraft.
