Roux Louka

Roux Louka (ルー・ルカ) became a recruit of A.E.U.G after the bloody Gryps Conflict. Unlike Judau and his junk dealing friends, she joined on her own free will and carries a higher sense of military duty than her comrades. She is a skilled pilot and associates herself with a personal shooting star emblem. When isolated from her allies near the beginning of the series, Roux playfully uses her charms to appeal to the Neo Zeon captain, Mashymre Cello, by acting as a harmless lady lost in space. Mashymre humorously agrees to shelter the woman pilot without question and orders the then recruit Glemy Toto to escort her. Though she betrays Glemy's trust during her return to Argama, their brief encounter started his rather zealous infatuation with her.

As a regular member of Argama's Gundam team, she is often piloting Z Gundam or the Core Fighter to back up Judau. Sympathizing with Judau, she helps him try to save Leina on a few occasions. Later in the war, when Glemy opened the cockpit of the Quin-Mantha, Roux puts aside her feelings for him and sniped him with Z Gundam's rifle. She accompanies Judau at the end of the series as a part of the Jupiter Fleet.

Mission Mode
In the second title, she starts fighting along side Judau. He runs off to help an enemy pilot in the middle of duty, leaving Roux to finish the mission herself. Infuriated by his spontaneous leave, she searches for Judau on Earth until she finds him in Dublin. Upset that he abandoned her, she challenges him to see who between them is the better pilot.

Roux may randomly appear as a CPU enemy with Judau and Scirocco. Players may also help her fight against an obsessive Glemy, choosing to shoot him down and gain Roux as a grateful ally pilot.

Personality
Believing in her experience and adept piloting skills, Roux is a soldier who believes in restoring order. Though serious with her duties, she can also be casual and lax compared to other veteran soldiers. While around the same age as the rest of the Gundam Team, Roux is offended when she is grouped with their occasional childish antics and considers herself the responsible woman in the group. She is known to chide Judau for his recklessness, but he hardly pays attention to her concerns. Her likely infatuation for him and confidence in her piloting makes her a rival of sorts with Elle Vianno.

Aware of her attractive looks, she isn't afraid to resort to using them if it helps meet her means while on the job. She doesn't think badly of Glemy, but his inflamed jealousy has intruded on her duties and caused unnecessary trouble for others on more than one occasion. Annoyed by his persistence, Roux also remembers the kindness he shared with her and can't bring herself to hate him. Confessing to have appreciated his feelings for her before taking the final shot, she is noticeably moved by her decision.
