Though much is at stake, the tankers look forwards to the battle. They shine in their strive to to deepen their friendship and love through friendly competition. Here, we introduce Oarai Girls School, St. Gloriana Girl's High School, and the others that have made the National Senshado Tournament an unforgettable experience.

Paragraph 1
Hailing from the Port of Yokohama, St. Gloriana Girls High School is a distinguished institution that emphasizes the importance of formality and etiquette of the English. It is one of the schools who is held in high regards in the prestigious sport of Senshado. With sociability a high priority, regular formal parties are not uncommon. Due to this, many students are ready to host a tea party at any time.

Paragraph 2
Due to their traditional ways, most team captains of St. Gloriana prefer to utilize the more conservative infantry tanks over the more aggressive cruiser tanks. Tanks of foreign design that were in British service will have less priority in matches.

Because St. Gloriana takes pride in its tradition, the crews are very skilled in the vehicles used today, but have trouble commanding unfamiliar vehicles, even vehicles that are British in origin.

Currently in use are the Churchill Infantry Tank Mk. VII, the Matilda II Infantry Tank Mk III and Mk. IV, and the Crusader Tank Mk. II and Mk. III.  Due to the Matilda II Mk. IV needing repairs, only the Mk. III appeared in the tournament.

Though many other British vehicles have heavier firepower than the Matilda II, there has been a staunch opposition to completely replace them by the nostalgic alumni.

For training the Light Tank Mk.6 is used.

Due to the rather secretive nature of St. Gloriana’s Automotive classes the exact numbers and models of the vehicles they possess are a mystery, including many rare and prototype vehicles.

Paragraph3
Along with regular studies, St. Gloriana heavily promotes other activities such as sports, the arts, and various volunteer work. To graduate with only academic achievements is difficult, enrollment and showing dedication in elective classes is a must. This also applies to potential students wishing to enroll into St. Gloriana. Though Senshado is a large factor in attracting students, such is the reputation of the Tea Garden that some enroll for that reason only.

Many members of the Tea Garden are also members of the Senshado team, with the senior members usually crewing the higher-ranking positions such as Commander or Gunner.

Members of the Tea Garden are unmatched in the subject of manners, formalities, and social behavior, along with extremely good academic grades. Many choose Senshado as a way of joining the Tea Garden, with their ultimate goal being presented the chance to share a name with a type of tea. However,  the individual’s skill in a tank does not guarantee entrance.

Even after graduation, the members of the Tea Garden still have much influence in the school, occasionally donating sums of money along with opinions on how the school should be run. In addition, there are three rather influential organizations run by the alumni that promote the use of their chosen tank, these are the Matilda Club, the Churchill Club, and the Crusader Club.

To be invited to the Tea Garden for a tea party is considered one of the highest honors that could be bestowed to a student of St. Gloriana. These parties are usually held to prepare the next generation of Senshado tank crews.

While St. Gloriana prides itself as the school for the elite, excessive gaudiness and extravagance is looked down upon, especially at tea parties. For these occasions, simple, yet elegant clothing is desired. Like one’s clothing, manners and behaviors are to be kept humble and respectful. How one gracefully stands and speaks has more importance than any kind or amount of flattery or pomp.

Still, their high-class appearance and countless customs have brought them a reputation as a rather prideful group by other schools, which sometimes makes inter-school relations and relations with the rest of the country somewhat difficult. Another reason is that the English culture is very difficult to understand compared to the other schools or the culture of Japan.

Paragraph 4
Their obsession with tea and lack of care with actual meals is often the butt of jokes at other schools.

Paragraph 5
Their preferred strategy is a slow but unbreakable assault with the goal of breaking enemy lines all while seeing how neatly they can keep their ranks while doing so. Due to their doctrine emphasizing concentrated fire, St. Gloriana tanks usually keep together in large groups. Due to, and because of, the slow relative speed of their tanks, shooting on the move is both required and an advantage, allowing for somewhat accurate fire while charging towards the enemy. The crews must trust and understand their leader, and the leader must trust and understand her crews for this tactic to work. To master and to pass on this knowledge is thought to be the highest priority before one graduates.

Overall, victories and defeats are considered less important than a fair and honorable match with a similarly honorable rival. To give praise to the victor as the defeated, or to give praise to the defeated as the victor is the St. Gloriana way.
