Wikipedia || Gundam Wiki

Lacus Clyne is the only daughter of the Head Chairman of the PLANTs Seigel Clyne and the fiancee of Athrun Zala. When she first appears in the series, she seems much too naive and innocent. What people failed to notice, under her image of a popular pop star, is a wise an philosophical girl that is loyal to what she believes in.

She enters the series by being found by Kira Yamato inside a life-pod after her ship was attacked. The crew had disappeared, but the crew took great care to put her safety first before their own. Inside the Archangel, she tries her best to make friends with everyone on board. Her efforts are not always welcome, but she remains poised despite the hostility around her. Her kindness and wisdom touched Kira Yamato, and when, despite orders not to return her to her people, he disobeys his superiors and returns her to Athrun. It was then that she saves the Archangel by telling the crew of Rau le Cruesset's ship not to attack them and start a battle in her presence.

She reappears again later in the series. This time, she seems much wiser and stronger. She starts doing talks over the radio illegally and earns the dislike and contempt of many of the politicians in the PLANTs. She speaks of ironies of the battles they are fighting such as; are weapons really going to lead them to peace, or the time she had given the gundam, Freedom, to Kira Yamato, that marks her name as a traitor. She later breaks her engagement to Athrun Zala.

Her father is later assassinated that causes her to make the decision to join the battlefield despite the great possibility of death. With the help of select and loyal people, she finds a way to steal the battleship, Eternal. She is later joined by Kira and Athrun, who began to see the war through her eyes, and decides to fight by their side.

Personality: [Self-explanatory - what's your character like? What traits do they have, what are their weaknesses and strengths, how do they interact with others, what motivates them, etc. Make sure it's at least a whole paragraph explaining this.]

Lacus is incredibly sweet and nice to everyone she meets without prejudice. While on an enemy ship, she tries to befriend the crew forgetting the boundaries of Natural and Coordinator. Even after the display of hostility a Natural gave to her, she didn't return it. The reason for her kindness is not simply because of her wish for pacifism (A wish she shares wither her father). "But your kindess doesn't come from being a Coordinator... it's because of who you are Mr. Yamato." She believes that kind people exist whether you are Natural or Coordinator. After all, both are human. It didn't matter how you were conceived. Friend and foe is the same to her --- even in the battlefield. Despite how easier it would be to simply kill the enemy, she is determined to fight while keeping everyone alive.

Her manners and demeanor is perfectly regal and lady-like. This is probably the reason why she was given the nickname, Pink Princess. This shouldn't come to much of a surprise because of the environment she grew up with. Her father is the Chairman of the PLANTs and member of the Supreme Council. She was very likely taught from childhood the proper way to act and converse.

Despite all the lessons of proper decorum, Lacus is known to show affection. Maybe she learned that if you were about to die any second, there was no room for being shy. She would give her friends hugs --- but she shows special attention to Kira. This is because she does love him. She was a little shy --- but she does kiss him on the cheek when she asked him to return to her. She is also very comfortable being embraced by him and giving him a hug while being surrounded by other people.

She was an idol singer and her personality is as calm and serene as the songs she sings. Like most idol singers, she sings about love but she also sings about hope and peace. For her, music can also be an instrument to touch others' hearts and bring up the hopes of the people. After the war during the first season of the Gundam SEED series, Lacus disappeared from the idol world though her strong influence still remained. She wanted to sing songs that mattered. "From now on, Lacus Clyne will be singing the song of peace"

At the beginning of the series, she was incredibly naive and idealistic. Maybe she still is but she matured as the plot progressed. Initially, it was difficult to determine whether she even took the war seriously or understand it. Her father had probably protected her from the war and kept her away from the ugliness of it. It was only later that she becomes more involved with what was happening in the war and takes a more active role in trying to stop it. Her experience in the Archangel may be the cause. Meeting Kira Yamato and watching the pain Fllay experienced by her father's death. It made her better understand how dire it was.

Knowing the danger, she joined her father in forming the Clyne Faction. Because she is sentimental , she visited the place where she had her first concert. She knew that it wasn't certain if she was getting out of the war alive. "In war, what are we truely fighting for? Sometimes it is hard to tell." Lacus is never really certain she is absolutely right. All she could do was fight for something she believed in and not waver. What she wanted was to protect and not kill. "Blame begets hate and hate begets more hate. When will it end?" To end the war, hate was not the answer. Even when her father and his people were killed, she did not hate the killers. Instead, she chose to finish what they had started and end the war without spilling more blood.

Despite her wish for a simple life with Kira, she knew that it was not a life she could return to anymore. Not when there was still a role she had to play in ensuring peace. That is why she decided to take an active role in politics and became the Mediator for Earth and the PLANTs. She proved to be a good leader while leading the Clyne Faction. She is firm, commanding and decisive when she has to be, qualities that make her a good leader. Durrandal called her, 'The White Queen.' He compared her to the game piece from a chess game. It was one of the strongest pieces in the game and shouldn't be taken lightly. It was probably why he believed it was important that she that she was the first to be taken down.

While posing as a leader, it is only when she is away from watchful eyes and in the company of people she trusts is the only time you will see Lacus bring out her child-like personality. She converses with her Haro and plays with the children. It is the only time she shows weakness too. She never cries in public, she saves her tears for when she is alone like when her father died and when Meer, a girl that shared her face and voice that means well --- but died to save Lacus's life.

[ Personal Journal ]

It has been a few days since I first arrived to this world. Nothing has changed. I still do not have any clear memories of why I am here and how I came to be here. I'm trying to remember what I was doing before I arrived here, but it seems futile as well. Everything is too vague.

Today feels like my first time being with regular people. I am not unaccustomed to being around people, but I am usually on a stage or platform. It is such a new experience and very enjoyable. I met some very nice people, and I also began to learn more about this place.

I cannot say that I dislike this world. I know too little about it to dislike it. But I do feel like a part of me is missing and that there is still something I left unfinished. I do not have a clear idea of what it is yet, but I have a feeling the only way I will remember is if I finally do return home.
