Fallyna, Milia

ミリア・ファリーナ

Milia is an ace pilot, a female of the giant warrior race known as the Zentradi (Meltlandi in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?). Serving aboard an all-female ship, she joined Commander Vrlitwhai Kridanik's investigation of Earth's "micrones" and their spacecraft, the SDF-1 Macross. After being defeated in a pitched battle against the human pilot Maximilian Jenius, she volunteered for micronization and, reduced to human size, infiltrated the Macross. Rather than espionage, her true aim was to find and kill the man who had humiliated her, but when he defeated her in a knife fight and yet refused to harm her, she realized that the emotion he had awakened in her was not hate, but love.
After defecting to the Macross and marrying Max, Milia was permitted to join the UN Spacy in her own right and subsequently piloted a red-painted VF-1J Valkyrie Fighter into battle as her husband's wingmate. However, caring for her own people, she convinced Max and the other pilots to capture, rather than kill, their Zentradi opponents. This act actually saved the ship during an all-out attack by her race to destroy it, as it, among other events, led to a mutiny in the Zentradi forces severe enough for Commander Vrlitwhai to call a cease-fire. The birth of her first child was another profoundly moving event for her when the artificially gestated woman realized that she had created life with her own body.
In the original Macross series, Milia is a very prolific mother, and she and Max together have seven natural daughters and adopt a Zentradi girl over a period of twenty years from 2011 to 2030, the oldest being Komilia Maria Fallyna and the youngest being Mylene Flare. Her second pregnancy was apparently very difficult and nearly killed her.
In Macross 7, Milia sports a new short hairdo rather than her original long hair from Macross. Like Max, she doesn't seem to have aged. However, she is sensitive whenever people, especially Basara Nekki, refer to her age. Milia is elected overwhelmingly as the mayor of City 7, the largest ship of the Macross 7 colonization fleet, and is accompanied by Mylene, her daughter, who lives separately. Max is also present as commander of the Macross 7 fleet, although the couple are now separated. It is also implied that she still may have feelings for her estranged husband. As City 7's Mayor, Milia is determined not only to maintain law and order among her citizens, but to marry off the rebellious Mylene as well. It turns out that, like Max, her skills have not faltered after so many years, and she can still fly a Valkyrie as well as or better than anyone in the Macross 7 fleet. In the series, Milia still possesses her red VF-1J Valkyrie, which she pilots as passionately as she did in the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Milia also clearly shows signs of affection towards her antique red VF-1J when her Valkyrie, piloted by Gamlin Kizaki, was destroyed by Sivil.
Later in the series, Milia, while serving as City 7's mayor, would from time-to-time pilot her Valkyrie - first piloting her VF-1J and gradually moving on to more advanced Valkyries, the VF-17D Nightmare and VF-22S Sturmvogel II respectively, all of which are colored a deep red - to assist the battle of the Macross 7 fleet against the Protodeviln. In the final episode of Macross 7, Milia and Max fought side-by-side with each other against Lord Geperuniti.
