Charlotte "Shirley" E. Yeager (シャーロット・E・イェーガー, Shārotto E Iēgā?) is a witch of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing. She originates from Liberion. Possibly in reference to model and photographer Bunny Yeager, Charlotte's familiar is the rabbit.
Magnanimous in character, tall and buxom in appearance, Charlotte ("Shirley" to her friends) is a thrill-seeker who is fascinated by speed. Concerned with cleanliness, Charlotte had her personal bath transported all the way to the Strike Witches' Britannia base when she was transferred from the Liberion Army 363rd Fighter Wing. She is strong, confident and sociable. She is good friends with Francesca Lucchini. She has an orange plane named Glamorous Shirley.
She is based on Chuck Yeager, and shares many characteristics with her archetype: Yeager was the first pilot to travel faster than sound in 1947, and would later break further speed and altitude records in his life; he was a mechanic, similar to Shirley's tinkering, and flew a plane he named the Glamorous Glennis.
