Intro. First Lieutenant Rip Van Winkle《リップヴァーン・ウィンクル中尉, Rippu Vān Winkuru Chūi》 is a major antagonist in the Hellsing series created by Kōta Hirano. She is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto in the Japanese version and Kari Wahlgren in the English dub.
One of Millennium's top soldiers and a member of the Werwolf Squad, Rip Van Winkle commands her troops to steal an aircraft carrier called the Eagle from the British. A formidable woman wielding a powerful Musket capable of firing Magic Bullets《魔弾, Madan》—unstoppable projectiles that never miss their mark—she has served under The Major since World War II. He praised her ability to defy the laws of nature, effortlessly defeating multiple enemies with a single shot, likening her prowess to Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischütz."
Rip Van carries out her missions with pride and unshakable conviction. However, she is vulnerable to unexpected situations and prone to panic when caught off guard.
