OH i missed this! hi! kind of basic but my favorites were sayla and amuro :>

i love how much of a closed book sayla is. i love that she starts the show a great shot and ends it a preternatural shot. i love that she spends the whole show lying to everyone and never actually tells anyone the truth shes been concealing even as she grows to trust the rest of the crew with her life. i love how resentful of a comms officer she was and every time she gave bright a stinkeye for not letting her read topsecret messages.

i was talking earlier today - i love how much getting to be a pilot and exercise her own judgement and have looser objectives suited her wayyy better, and the way that acts in contrast to amuros own struggles with agency and being a gundam pilot... its fun bc it makes me think about how miserable the situation is with amuro becoming a pilot. augh.

amuro is my favorite because he is my baby and i care him. i really enjoy how thoughtful and earnest and sincere he can be. he has some lines that are still stuck in my head--"im a civilian, too" and "maybe these children will grow up in a world where neother the federation nor zeon matter" come to mind immediately. i love how horrible and tragic it feels to me that hes a pilot at all... strength at a cost... i like him :(

kai is rly good also, shout out to kai. its a testament to the strength of gundams subtle character writing and/or the strength of my imagination that i can really clearly picture the broad strokes of kai's childhood off of almost zero information. (he is an older brother and his parents were not great. this is clear.)

anyway thanks for asking and sorry it took so long for me to realize the question was in here!
