M14

The M14 is a battle rifle at the Seishou Academy in the Upotte!! anime and manga series. M14 is an outgoing and easy-going girl. She is also quite a slacker, judging by her rather average performance at school. What most students do not seem to remember is that M14 used to be fiercely competitive when she first arrived to Seishou as a transfer student. In an attempt to prove her worth as a rifle, M14 became hell-bent on surpassing L1A1, whom she considered to be the school queen. Her zeal was later defused by L1A1, who disarmed the inferiority-complex-driven side of her personality by simply becoming her friend. However, M14 still reveals her competitive nature from time to time, especially when pitched against M16. This is probably because M14 was replaced by M16 as the standard-issue rifle of the United States military in the 1960s. Appearance-wise, M14 is a true American beauty with her long blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes. Being a battle rifle, M14 is also one of the tallest characters in the series. When she first transferred to Seishou, M14 would dress like a delinquent girl (permed hair, flashy earrings, chains and lots of make-up) to intimidate L1A1. She dropped the 'sukeban' act when L1A1 told her that her natural look is the prettiest.
