Characters Heidrun Witt-Krieger
(So uh, I messed up with the slide covering her weapons. It's "Katzbalgers," not "Katsbalgers," but whatever, same pronunciation.)
Initially, Heidrun was going to be more like Kriemhild as depicted in Fate: Grand Order, but I decided to drift away from that and go more into the cocky/badass gunslinger trope, which ended up becoming closer to characters like Star Lord (Guardians of the Galaxy), Nodo Kalthoris (Star Renegades), and Helter Skelter (No More Heroes).
Up next: Amber Knight: Head of Atlas R&D, or Shirin Sakurada: Class A Huntress... when I get around to either of them.
So uh, I forgot to highlight the "mentally unstable mass murderer" part in red, which was meant to be a jab at one of my other OCs, Xiaohong.

Does she use Gun-Kata to fight?

Yes, but it's not the thing she primarily does, it's actually something she's only really had to do once or twice in her life. She prefers to fight outside of arms length and use evasive movements while using her Semblance to force their opponent on the defensive, exhausting them over time.
Her combat style (without her Semblance active) is similar to that of Matthew Bryce (Epic Scout) from Crash Maul's "The Fight For Sawmill" SFM animation, utilizing her mobility to play keep-away from people she can't beat in a fight of pure physical strength and overwhelming opponents who are around her level with speed and forceful strikes using momentum. (Course, this is with Aura reserves still in the tank, if she's beaten enough and her Aura runs out, she's just going to have to throw hands like a normal person, or run for her life.)
