Personality:

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.

Strengths/Weaknesses:

Strengths-

Genetic Strengths:

Coordinator - There are two more known genetic types in her world. Coordinator and Naturals. Coordinators are the genetically enhanced humans. Their looks, abilities and talents have been altered to be almost perfect. They are faster, stronger and smarter than Naturals. They are also immune to most diseases. Naturals are the other type. The unaltered humans. For years, these two have been at war with each other. People like the Blue Cosmos call the Coordinators "monsters." Many naturals feel threatened and envious of the Coordinators and they are persecuted and killed.

Her voice is possibly a product of gene manipulation, not natural talent.

Seed Mode - (Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-factor) In both the end of the first and second series, Lacus's eyes dilated and a brief scene of what may look like a seed exploding appeared. This is the SEED mode, usually activated when the person's feelings are strong and at times may seem out of control. Most of the time, this happens in the middle of battle, after a severe trauma to the person's mind and heart or when the person has the great desire to protect. There is an increase of awareness and their natural fighting capabilities are enhanced. In the first Series, Lacus, Kira, Athrun and Cagalli had them. Cagalli is a Natural, so it is possible for Naturals to have it. Some theorized that the SEED mode is an evolutionary development.

Personality Strengths-

* She is kind, understanding and considerate, even to those who had wronged her.

* Determined. She stubbornly stands by her belief in a world without war and fighting.

* Curious and adventurous. She doesn't like staying in her quarters for long and likes to go out and joins the crew.

* Bravery. She is often afraid but despite that she still pursues to do what she thinks is right.

* Good leadership skills. She led the Clyne faction and acted as the commander of the Eternal.

Weaknesses-

Genetic Weaknesses:

Coordinator- However, they are still not perfect. Third-generation coordinators sometimes cannot have children. They become sterile. It is because unlike Naturals, it is very difficult to give them the genetic input for childbirth. The scientists of PLANTS are trying to find a solution but so far there is no cure for it. It is unclear if Lacus is a third generation Coordinator or not. But, she was engaged to a fellow Coordinator so it may be safe to conclude that there is a chance that they are Second generation.

Personality Weaknesses:

* Her bravery can easily be translated as foolish. Such as going into war without killing anyone.

* Naive.

* She can be very pouty if she wants to and easily frustrated, as shown when she went shopping with Kira, Meyrin and Athrun. Most likely, she is only like this with people close to her.

* She can easily break down when someone dies. When Meer (Her impersonator) died, she just broke down and cried for her. Though she does keep it to herself.

Samples

First Person Sample:

[ Video; ]

[ A familiar face had returned to Johto --- with a familiar pink jigglypuff, Mister Pink on her lap. Mister Pink had a spoon caked with ice cream on one hand and ice cream all over his face. There was a half-full container of sundae in front of them. It was no mystery now what Mister Pink had been eating.

It looks like someone had been spoiled. ]

Good day, everyone. My name is ... Lacus Clyne.

I don't quite yet understand why yet, but I seem to have been returned to Johto.

It really is quite peculiar...

[ Mister Pink interrupts her and shoves a spoonful of his ice cream into her mouth. He wanted to share with Lacus his ice cream. It took Lacus a few moments to continue what she was about to say.

Smiling while covering her mouth with a napkin to wipe the ice cream from her lips. ]

I apologize for that. What I really wanted to ask was --- how is everyone? I hope everyone has been well.

Third Person Sample:

Mister Pink was trying his best to cheer Lacus up. It wasn't that she was crying --- in fact, Miss Lacus was smiling. It was simply that Miss Lacus's eyes looked really sad. Mister Pink was happy --- very happy to have Lacus back, but he didn't like seeing her with sad eyes.

Her eyes had been looking that way since she opened her eyes. She had a faraway look as she had looked out the window of the room. When she looked at him, the faraway look was still there even when she was smiling and it really made Mister Pink feel bothered.

Lacus must have sensed how upset Mister Pink was. Then again, it wasn't difficult to guess because Mister Pink was pouting like a spoiled child. It made her feel very guilty because in truth, even though she missed Mister Pink terribly, a large part of her was missing home as well. There was someone's side that she didn't want to leave. Giving Mister Pink a small smile and a gentle hug, she whispers, "I'm sorry, Mister Pink. Of course, I missed you. I missed you so terribly. It pained me when I believed that I would never see you again. I am just a little ... sad because I have left someone behind again."

"I hope he ... and everyone will be alright."

When Lacus made another faraway look, Mister Pink tugged on her hair trying to bring her back to the present. He didn't understand. Who was this person that Lacus left behind that she couldn't forget? Lacus gave another apologetic smile, "I'm sorry ... I'm very sorry ..." Mister Pink almost panic when he saw tears in her eyes. "I didn't know ... I would miss him so much."

Waving his arms above him, shouting to her that she shouldn't cry because he was there. Since Mister Pink looked ridiculously cute waving his arms like that, Lacus chuckled and began wiping the tears from her eyes. "This is not good --- I have to remain strong. I'm alright now, Mister Pink," she promised him giving the Pokemon a cheek on its cheek. "Thank you. Thank you so much for worrying about me."

In response, Mister Pink blushed and looked very pleased. Now that she was smiling, he pointed at a restaurant outside her window. He wanted ice cream and he wanted it now. Lacus smiled and nodded, understanding what he wanted. Normally, she would rather be careful about spoiling him but for now she decided to let him have his way. According to the calendar, she had been gone for a month. That meant he had been alone for a month and that made her terribly sad for him.

She wasn't going to cry anymore. If she did, she was only going to worry her friends. So she promised herself --- that when she greeted everyone later, she was going to do it with a smile ...

It would be alright ... tears are not the answer after all.

Suddenly, she blushed feeling very embarrassed and silly that she was feeling this way. It was not like there was no hope for her to someday return, was it? Mister Pink jumped down from her arms and began tugging on her skirt again. He clearly wanted to get going. Laughing and shaking her head, she followed him wondering what other adventures there would be in Johto. She also wanted to see how her friends were. Her return to her world had been sudden and unexpected. No goodbyes. She hoped they were alright.
