The 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre prompted for new law enforcement weaponry's development, one of the outcome was the HK P7 pistol type semi-automatic handgun. Designed for policing units under strict specifications in the field of weapon size, weight, minimum muzzle energy, service life time and capability of firing the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge. P7 is designed to be fully ambidextrous, safe to carry while loaded, easily quickly drawn and fire instantly.
Differs from other pistols with their recoil or simple blow-back operation, the operation of the P7 actually relies a gas delayed blow-back mechanism, advantages of this system are a simpler manufacturing process and a high mechanical accuracy (due to the barrel being fixed in the frame). P7 features a hexagonal rifling barrel to achieve a longer service life time, able to feed on a 8-round single stack magazine, aiming of the weapon relies on the built in iron sight. Other feature include an enlarged trigger guard for comfortable two handed firing and a unique built-in cocking lever located at the front of the grip which must be squeezed before the pistol can be fired, making the pistol safe to carry while loaded.
P7 and its 9mm variants are widely exported to many countries and used primarily by law enforcement units, special police and even counter terrorist units. P7 variants designed to chamber other handgun calibres such as .45 ACP .22 Long Rifle .40 S&W were developed but not manufactured, likely due to lacking of market interests[1].
Character Info
Design
A T-doll with animalized appearance, P7 resembles a cat, in terms of outfit her clothes resembles a nun... Cat-nun? Featuring long white hair and purple eyes. On her official art, a lot of cross symbols can be found, as decoration ornaments, as clothes patterns and as her iris shape.
Assuming that her P7's gun is to scale this would mean that P7 stands at 6' 10" (roughly 210cm). This would mean that P7 would be one of the taller characters in the game.
Personality
A natural prankster, she may appear to be helpful to other T-dolls but she will unleash horrid pranks upon them as soon as they let their guards down, even the Commander finds him/herself among the victims of her tricks. But (un)fortunately nobody can be truly angry at P7 for these tricks, due to the fact that she is just simply too cute. As revealed in the story, P7 likes strawberry flavored ice-cream, but hates tomato ketchup with a passion.
She captured a Ferri Dinergate unit and kept it as a pet, she named it Chopsticks. Chopsticks is one of the mascots for Girls Frontline, it made many appearances in both official and fan made contents/comics of the game. The most prominent appearance of Chopsticks is the G&K Chopstick News, where Chopsticks hosts interviews with various contributing artists of Girls Frontline and inquires character settings/backstories.
Although being a high quality servicing pistol it suffers from the German syndrome, it is over-engineered. The gas-delayed blowback mechanism heats up significantly after continuously firing of rounds, making the handgun uncomfortable for extended shooting sessions, remarkable reliability is credited but the maintenance of the weapon itself is complex and can be expensive. A few character quotations seems to be referring to the weapon being made with high level of detail and requires costly maintenance routine.
In-Game
A HG unit with a large grid buff area, combining her evasion grid buff and active skill buff, P7 one of the prime choice for those 5 HG team compositions.
Story Involvement
P7 made a few minor appearance in with the main and side story lines.

Digi-mind Upgrade Story: MP-446
P7 made an appearance in HG MP-446MP-446MP-446 (Viking)'s Digi-mind upgrade back story.
After discovering Viking's secret fear of the dark, P7 told everyone about it in front of her, Viking made up a lie on the spot, saying she was pretending to be afraid, which P7 replied telling her to prove it. P7 found this secret doorway in the ruins near the base, which leads to a dark underground facility, she told everyone to sneak out of the base at night to meet there to bear witness to Viking's trials. Arriving at the spot, P7 had everyone open up the large iron doors and sent Viking inside, she told Viking that her trial will only be counted as complete when she reaches the bottom of the facility and report about everything she found inside. Little did Viking know, everyone followed her into the storage unit and witnessed everything Viking saw.
While stumbling in the dark Viking found many inactive dummy androids with unknown design, her heart almost stopped when she discovered the Sangvis Ferri markings on the dummies. Out of fear and worries, Viking suddenly heard two unfamiliar voice chatters, she hid herself amongst the dummies just to discover the chatters came from Ferri Ringleader units Scarecrow and Executioner. Eavesdropping their conversations, Viking overheard that this underground facility was a factory of Sangvis Ferri, furthermore her friends outside are all gone, potentially killed by Scarecrow. Eventually Scarecrow reveals there are abundance of Golyat bombs in a deeper level of this storage.
With this turn of events Viking got scared, but she considered the consequence of the unknown dummy units being activated. She overcame her fear of darkness and made her way deeper into the ruin while the two Ringleaders left for the control room. Arriving at the bottom level, she is suddenly discovered by Scarecrow, after brief exchange of words Viking quickly picked up a Golyat bomb and rushed to the upper levels to detonate the dummies. Returned to the dummy storage however, she is confronted by Executioner, stopped in her tracks and soon she was gunned down by Scarecrow who followed her trail.
Wounded and soon felt unconscious on the floor, the Golyat bomb Viking carried with her is suddenly activated much to the Ringleaders' surprise, knowing the devastation of Golyats, the two Ringleaders abandoned the activated dummies and quickly left the facility. The Golyat bomb spotted P7 and her gang who are hidden within the room, with the Ringleaders escaped, they appeared out of hiding and rescued the wounded Viking. Moments after they ascend up the ruin, the Golyat bomb detonated, claiming the entire underground facility. The gang explained that they followed Viking inside just to see how she would react in the darkness, Scarecrow did discover them but she was no match for P7's cunning hide & seek tricks, though HG C96C96C96 commented on how pale P7's face was when Scarecrow attacked Viking.
The explosion in the facility was overheard back at G&K base and investigation parties arrived, later reporting to the Commander, P7 quickly made up a lie to cover up their little mischievous venture, claiming that Viking went out and patrolled the perimeter even though she suffered injuries from the previous combat sortie, she discovered the suspicious activity, investigated it further and revealed Ferri's hidden plot.

What, Commander, it took you this long to show interest about me? You know, during the design phase, I experienced a lot of ups and downs. But in the pursuit of perfection, I've found out that I have many advantages. From now on, Commander, please take good care of me.
Ah, so you finally fell into the palm of my hand after all. Don't worry Commander, I'm serious as well, after all, we've known each other all these years... It hasn't been that long? Then rest assured, we'll know each other for even longer, hehe.
