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.

Game Specific:
Arcana: High Priestess Arcana

Justification: Despite Lacus's history in the entertainment industry and people's initial impression that she is a shallow idol, Lacus is a deep person and much more wise than people believe.

Even Durandal believed that Lacus was a dangerous presence in the war and likened to her to a chess piece and called her the 'White Queen.'

It was just after class and Lacus was walking her way back to the Amagi Inn. She wasn't in a hurry to return yet today. Her shift didn't start until later, so she decided to take this time to really look at Inaba. The vast orange-colored sky looked very beautiful no matter how many times she saw it. There was something familiar about that sky and at the same time it made her heart ache in a way that she couldn't explain.

She cannot remember much of what she was doing before she woke up on that train, but she did feel that this place was so different from that world she left. Everything felt familiar and unfamiliar. She knows how to work a cellular phone, but on her first day she touched the screen of a television --- almost expecting someone to speak to her. It must have looked like quite a scene because people were watching her curiously, wondering what she was doing. Sometimes, she would watch the moon and wonder why she felt like she had been there before. It was quite a silly feeling, but it never disappeared no matter how many days past. There were also times that she found herself wondering why the stars weren't nearer. The oddest incident was probably when she reached out for the microphone while in the middle of a crowded mall and started singing --- a song she didn't even know she knew:

'The night is wavering in the water ---'

At the end of the song, she was only barely listening to the applause that time. She was too busy wondering what she had done and why she could sing that song. Despite how much she tried, she couldn't find this particular song anywhere in the internet. If it was not from anywhere in this world, then what where had she heard it before? Why did she know it?

She forced herself to shift her thoughts away from her questions. There were other much pressing matters to think about.

It had rained last night, so she decided to watch the Midnight Channel the people at school were talking about. They said that if they watched television at midnight while it is raining, you will see your soulmate. The girls in school had encouraged her to try it --- even after she explained to them that she left her heart back home. Unfortunately, at the moment she couldn't really remember who.

To appease her new friends, she waited until midnight and watched. Much to her surprise, something did appear on the screen ...

... it was a girl.
