Character from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha by Masaki Tsuzuki / Seven Arcs
The youngest-looking of the Wolkenritter — a centuries-old knight in the body of a child, wielding a hammer, who absolutely did not have a breakdown fighting Nanoha and everyone should drop it.
Vita is the brash one. She has no patience for the bureaucracy, limited interest in political arrangements, and immense devotion to Hayate that she expresses through the specific emotional vocabulary of someone who learned about love from a child and found it simpler than everything else. She targeted Nanoha in A's because Nanoha had a big Linker Core and was young and she told herself it would be fine. It was not fine. The guilt from that choice — particularly from an injury Nanoha later suffered in training that Vita knew she'd noticed and done nothing about — stays with her through StrikerS. After A's she and Nanoha became partners in the Aerial Tactical Instructor Corps. She became a tactics teacher. She is still belligerent, still Hayate's most obviously devoted knight, and still smaller than her hammer. None of this has changed. Graf Eisen is now modified but still Graf Eisen.
Red hair in two trailing queues, appearing to be about 8 years old — she's ancient, but Wolkenritter don't age. Knight armor in red with Graf Eisen. She is small and physically devastating. Her magic is red. The hammer is larger than she is.
