MURRUE RAMIUS

A warm-hearted, highly capable Earth Alliance engineer who is unexpectedly thrust into command of the state-of-the-art mobile assault ship Archangel after the entire senior officer staff is wiped out in the initial ZAFT raid. Murrue is the absolute emotional anchor of the ship—constantly struggling to balance her military duties with her fierce, maternal desire to protect the terrified teenage civilians trapped aboard. Her loose, empathetic leadership style puts her in perpetual, vein-popping ideological conflict with her rigid sub-commander, Natarle Badgiruel, but her instinctual tactical gambits are the only reason the ship repeatedly survives impossible odds.
