Kycilia Zabi

She is noteworthy for recommending Char Aznable, M'Quve, and Johnny Ridden to the Zeon forces -possibly having a romantic relationship with the latter.

Her defense for Char puts her at odds with Dozle, who discharged him for failing to protect their younger brother, Garma. Once she affirms her suspicions of their father's death at Gihren's hands, she kills her brother and takes command of the Zeon forces at the end of the One Year War. Placing faith in Char as the true ace of Zeon, she dons his skills as the key to winning the war. However, Char -to finish his revenge against the Zabi family- snipes her with a single shot from his bazooka after his duel with Amuro Ray, destroying the bridge of her Zanzibar cruiser in the process.
