snowynightGundam Wing is my first introduction to the Gundam Franchise, in which a squadron of five giant robot pilots of a beleaguered Earth colony is sent to bring the war to their oppressive home planet. Relena is one of the main characters and my favourite.
At the beginning, Relena is the daughter of Darliano, the Vice Foreign Minister of the Alliance and peace advocate. She's lonely but leads a peaceful and sheltered life. Then her world gradually crumbles. Darliano is assassinated. Before his death, he tells her that she's actually the daughter of King Peacecraft, who dies upon the Alliance's attack of their country. Still a teenager, Relena now has to take the mantle of being the sovereign of the newly reestablished Sanc Kingdom.
Like her birth and adopted fathers, Relena is a pacifist and advocates peace between the Earth and the colonies. She holds on to her ideal in the face of attack of the Alliance, willingly surrenders to save her people . The Alliance wants to use her as a puppet, but they underestimates her. I really like the scene that during her captivity, she gives a public speech about pacifism. She sees Heero in the shadow and correctly guesses that he is coming to kill her for supposedly betraying her principle, but she says her last word and is ready for death. It's inspiring to see how she grows from a sad rich teenaged girl to a charismatic and principled leader.
