Full Name: Rip Van Winkle
Nicknames: N/A
Age: ?
Height: ?
Weight: ?
Gender: Female
Race: Vampire
Alliance: Evil (Schrodinger was tricked into believing she defected.)
Home:
Germany I suppose
Franchise: Hellsing (Canon)
Physical Description: Rip Van Winkle looks almost male, but if you look where all perverts do, you'll see the breasts. She has long flowing raven-colored hair and blue narrow eyes. She wears glasses as well and has freckles on her face. Her outfit is a black suit, a pink collar shirt underneath, and a black tie, black dress pants, and black boots.
Weapons: Musket with Magic Bullets
Abilities/Powers: Her bullets move around to strike one target multiple times.
Skills: Marksmenship.
Personality: Rip Van Winkle is very loyal to the Major. She would never think about betraying him. She's acting as a double agent due to Schrodinger's recent betrayal, but she herself is still loyal to him. She's also an opera fan. She loves opera, Der Freischütz the most, and she compares herself to the main character and Alucard as the demon that kills the main character.
History: First Lieutenant Rip van Winkle (リップヴァーン・ウィンクル中尉, First Lieutenant Rippuvān Winkuru?) is a character in the manga Hellsing and a member of the Millennium forces. She is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto and in English by Kari Wahlgren. One of Millennium's top soldiers, and member of the Werewolf special forces, her troops stole a VTOL carrier called the Eagle from the British. Along with Zorin Blitz and Schrödinger, she briefly makes a cameo in a flashback during Hellsing III, and also during the ending credits. She makes her full appearance in OVA IV.
She uses a long-barreled flintlock musket that fires magic bullets that "punish all without distinction", tracking targets of their own accord, and which are seemingly armor-piercing (they destroy helicopters, fighter jets and missiles with ease) and they are even able to change their trajectories in mid-flight repeatedly peppering a target with the same bullet. She seems to have a limited amount of these bullets, as she only uses one at a time. In fact, she uses only 4 on screen before death throughout the entire series and only 1 directly against Alucard (so far: she might use them again during The Dawn.) She doesn't appear to have any other powers beyond this however. She also enjoys singing operas, especially Der Freischütz, and she often compares herself to the character Kaspar from that opera. The Major even notes that she is very much like Kaspar and that Alucard is Zamiel, the antagonist of that opera and representative of the devil. Additionally similar bullets, that never miss their target, are used by Kaspar, who is taken to Hell by Zamiel at the end of the opera.
In several scenes she is also seen with an umbrella, which could be a reference to the practice of World War II German snipers to use umbrellas with camouflage foliage woven between the arms as light, adaptable and mobile personal camouflage.
Alucard instills a great deal of fear in Rip as he approaches, and inevitably kills her, despite her last ditch effort to force him over the edge of the Eagle's deck with a magic bullet. Alucard stakes her through the chest just left of her heart with her own gun and drinks her blood in the climax to Volume 5 of the manga before using his shadows to devour her body, killing her and making her his familiar.
Ironically, The Major would not permit the Doctor to fry her through the chips, and in fact, in a rare gesture of "generosity", requests other members of Millennium to Heil her, bidding her "Auf Wiedersehen." Her mission was to effectively trap Alucard on the Eagle because he cannot cross water without the aid of some form of external transport such as a plane or ship. By using the Eagle as a decoy, Millennium isolates Alucard in the middle of the ocean while the rest of Millennium makes its landing operation. Unfortunately for Millennium, Alucard took control of the ship and managed to return to coastline, though the Major himself seemed to be anticipating this.
Rip later shows up as a familiar after Alucard releases his zero restriction, merged with Tubalcain Alhambra. After helping shoot down Maxwell's helicopter and attacking Anderson, she is destroyed in a massive fire along with all the other familiars. This scene was not published in Young King OURs, but was added to volume 9.
Rip Van has come back like the rest of Millenium, but Schrodinger turned traitor. This, in turn, angered the Major, but he saw a chance to retrieve what he was looking for. He secretly ordered Rip Van Winkle and Zorin to pretend to join Schrodinger, so they did. Now she's in perfect position to betray Schrodinger and the others by killing Felix's baby.
Other: She may be a bitch, but she's MY bitch just like Schrodinger is MY catboy *grabs them both and hisses at coming fanboys/girls*

That's a lot of land for a dead man, right?
Oh shit... He's coming! Alucard's coming! I'M FUCKED!
