Liebely, Dita

ディータ・リーベライ

Dita Liebely is the female protagonist and Hibiki's romantic partner. She playfully calls him "Mr. Alien" (Uchuujin-san), while he calls her "UFO Girl". Dita has a bubbly, lively personality that appears in nearly every aspect of her life, even during combat (she refers to enemies as "bad aliens"). She admits to having feelings for Hibiki since they met in the first episode, and her fellow crewmembers subject her to at least some ridicule and incredulity for her unusual infatuation with a male. When her Dread unites with Hibiki's Vanguard, they become the Vandread Dita-type Blue Kachina/Giant [kachina], a blue giant mecha equipped with two powerful dual energy cannons that serve as long-range or short-range weapons. She loves cooking for Hibiki and feels satisfied whenever he wolfs down her delicacies. Although her character is childish, she holds a co-leading rank, just below Jura and Barnett.
She admits that her bubbly attitude aims to keep the people around her from becoming too sad and serious about the events happening around them. As a child, Dita often daydreamed about aliens who would take her away from the bleak world she lived in, which leads to her almost obsessive fascination with Hibiki, whom she believes is that alien. It is not until the last episode of the second season that she finally calls Hibiki by name, and vice versa.
In the manga adaptation, Dita is less childish and addresses Hibiki by name rather than "Mr. Alien," while he refers to her by name rather than "UFO Girl". Also, there is only one Vandread, which is the form Hibiki and Dita share. Its fusion is also made permanent.
