Rosehip

Rosehip has a cheerful and expressive face, often appearing full of energy.

She is the youngest in a big family.

She is usually seen with a teacup, though she always spills her tea.

Her movements are lively rather than graceful.

Rosehip is energetic, spirited, and always excited.

She acts before thinking and tends to rush into things without much planning.

She gets easily impatient and sometimes does not stay calm.

Her speech is often not what others expect from a St. Gloriana student—she uses casual or blunt words.

She tries hard to act like a lady but can never really pull it off.

She is not shy, even around older students and takes on a natural leader role.

Rosehip is a student at St. Gloriana Girls’ College.

She is the youngest child in an 18-member family.

Her family makeup includes her great-grandmother, grandparents, parents, seven siblings, two sisters-in-law, and their three children.

She is used to being in a big and noisy household, which made her develop a fast-paced and cautious attitude.

She is not from a wealthy, upper-class background and learned table manners only after joining St. Gloriana.

Rosehip is the commander and leader of the Crusader Mk.III tank team.

She has excellent speed and agility in tank battles.

She is quick to act and can perform daring maneuvers.

Her unpredictable movements make it hard for enemies to aim at her team.

However, she sometimes causes chaos for her own allies, too.

• Darjeeling: The team leader. Darjeeling likes Rosehip’s honest drive and determination. She often gives Rosehip special tasks, challenges, or advice. Rosehip listens carefully and obeys Darjeeling’s commands.
• Assam: Acts as a mentor and often scolds Rosehip for her lack of decorum. Assam says Rosehip has improved a lot compared to her early days at school.
• Orange Pekoe: Has a hard time getting along with Rosehip and feels unease around her.
• Rosehip deeply cares for her friends and keeps photos with everyone in her room.
• She sometimes crosses paths with Pepperoni from Anzio High because they share a wild and impulsive personality.

• Birthday: November 25.
• She is one of the few first-year students to get a tea nickname and command a main team.
• She is known as the “fastest” in St. Gloriana.
• She can never pour tea properly and often spills drinks, even during tank battles.
• She often brings soda to picnics, instead of tea like everyone else.
• Even though she is rough, she wants to be a true lady.
• Her tank in the “Dream Tank Match” game is super fast but very hard to control.

• "Really!?"
• "I'll beat them!"
• "Let’s fight fair and square!"
• "Truly a mighty opponent…"
• "You! How dare you!!"
• "Huh? That's strange…"

Movie Debut and Crusader Team

Rosehip appears for the first time in "Girls und Panzer der Film” as the commander of the Crusader Mk.III and leader of the Crusader team.

She commands her four-tank unit during the exhibition match against the mixed team from Ooarai Girls’ Academy and Chihatan Academy.

She uses speed to rush the enemy but is outwitted and loses most of her team.

Trying to chase Miho Nishizumi’s team again, she slips on a fallen signal post and crashes into an inn, causing a big explosion, but surprisingly her tank stays in the fight.

She is finally knocked out by Momo Kawashima’s famous wild shot.

University Team Match

Rosehip later participates in the match against the university team.

She is put in the Dandelion Squadron and dashes energetically across the battlefield, dodging heavy attacks but often needing Darjeeling’s intervention to stop her from making risky moves.

She almost rams into a T28 heavy tank by mistake but manages to escape thanks to Darjeeling’s quick command.

She somehow causes a Ferris wheel to roll toward her own team during the fight, earning shouts from Arisa and Momo Kawashima for making things worse, even though it ends up confusing the enemy, too.

In the end, she has a one-on-one duel with a Chaffee tank, vaults a moat, and finally defeats her enemy, but then crashes and is disabled.

Afterwards, she is seen sitting messily on the ground while everyone else stands properly, yet she is happily drinking tea with friends.

Das Finale

During the Winter Tournament "Infinity Track Cup,” Rosehip and the Crusader unit help Darjeeling’s team win their first battle by charging at the enemy flag tank.

In the match against Anzio High, Rosehip helps trick the Anzio team and contributes to their win by helping lure them into Darjeeling’s ambush.

In the semifinal match against Kuromorimine Girls’ Academy, Rosehip and the Crusader team position themselves on the canyon cliff to ambush Erika Itsumi’s squad.

After a fierce chase and losing team members, Rosehip makes a bold close-range attack on Koume Akaboshi’s Panther.

She is able to disable one tank, but is knocked out in return, leaving the rest to her teammate.

In side stories and other media, Rosehip is often shown as a “commoner” chosen by Darjeeling for her honest spirit and leadership.

She learned table manners at St. Gloriana and loves her team very much.

She is often the center of fun stories, like bringing soda to tea parties or accidentally confessing to Assam.

When brewing tea, she can recognize who made each cup, even if she can’t tell the flavor.

She often races around, sometimes catching a cold by drying her hair with wind from running.

She has a lot of interactions with Pepperoni in comics because of their similar wild attitudes.

During her middle school days, she admired tanks after seeing the Cromwell tank from St. Gloriana in action, and would ride around on a flashy, decorated bicycle.
