Tank, Infantry, Mk IV (A22). A heavy British infantry tank of the Second World War, best known for its heavy armour and its use as the basis of many specialist vehicles.
One of these specialist vehicles...one that's never mentioned...is the AVRE-M. The Armored Vehicle, Royal Engineers, Musume variant. A living weapon, like a giant infantryman (well, woman) designed to carry heavy weaponry into battle in support of the Royal Engineers.
Aevee started off simply as the Churchill-M, first taking part in the infamous Dieppe Raid where she was nearly shot to pieces. Improved upon after that catastrophe, she saw service in the Battle of Normandy as a heavy flame tank, but it was assisting a group of pinned engineers that earned her a new mission, and a new nickname. Discarding her 75mm gun for a spigot mortar, she led Allied forces ashore, assaulting bunkers and tanks single-handedly all the way.
Unlike most other armor musume, Aevee is only marginally effective against tanks. Instead, she's used for breaching defenses and clearing infantry out of hiding spots. She's not the quickest girl out there, either, attributed to low-powered motive systems as well as a bit of ditziness on the part of the musume herself.
Aevee is unique in that, while she still has the incredible armor of her tank variant, she lost her tracks in Dieppe and they were never replaced. If it wasn't for her size and the small amount of mechanical components visible on her head and legs, you'd not realize she was a musume.
