Referred to as 'Prinzessin' (princess) by other witches due to her long name and highly noble lineage.

Her lineage stems from Orussian aristocracy which later emigrated to Karlsland. It is a distinguished clan with influence across various European states; some people in her family have very deep connections to the royal family of Baltland.

Since childhood, she has undergone austere tutelage in preparation for her calling as both a noble and a Witch. She has a strong sense of justice and will to protect the weak.

Because of her background, she is ignorant of the ways of the world to a certain extent. She sometimes gets childishly excited about seemingly regular things, and her tendency to apply the same high standards upon her naturally gifted self as she does others, such as subordinates and maintenance staff, whom she harshly expects perfection from; natural charisma and deportment has led to a group akin to devotees or passionate fans to form around her. She is considered talented at seizing the hearts of people due to traits like being generous with appreciative words where they are due despite her own severity.

Her shoot-down count has risen with her daring, aggressive style, and she is Karlsland's (and thus humanity's) third-ranked night combat ace. During the defense of St. Petersburg on the night of June 24th, 1943 she destroyed four enemy units consecutively, and in July 24th of the same year, she made a record of six consecutive kills.

Once, Heinrike viewed Flight Lieutenant Heidimarie W. Schnaufer as a rival due to their similarities in age and accomplishments. After learning of the hardship Heidimarie had experienced, her views of her softened, and nowadays she secretly thinks of her as a true friend. She also helps her behind the scenes without sparing her efforts. Unaware of Heinrike's feelings, Heidimarie has criticism for her: "She is a scary person. Sometimes she is nice to me, but I can't comprehend why at all."

While she initially looked down on the Night Witch radio community as "child's play," but partly due to Heidimarie's influence, she is currently running a scheme of little by little taking part in it.
