Description
Mylene Flare Jenius is the seventh and youngest daughter of Maximilian Jenius and Milia Fallyna Jenius. She was born on February 2, 2031, and is fourteen years old during the events of Macross 7 Encore. Her parents are prominent figures in the Macross 7 fleet: her father commands Battle 7, and her mother serves as the mayor of City 7. Driven by family disagreements, Mylene leaves her parents' home and joins the rock band Fire Bomber as the bass guitarist and additional vocalist. She is a teenager with long pink hair and green eyes.
Her personality is spirited and independent, yet she is deeply concerned with satisfying the fans of the band, whom she refers to as kyaku-sama. She possesses a sprite-like energy and a strong sense of duty toward her music and her audience. Mylene's motivations center on her desire to express herself through music and to connect with others, both on stage and in combat. She becomes a member of Sound Force, a special unit that uses music as a weapon against the alien Protodeviln, and she pilots a customized VF-11MAXL Thunderbolt Valkyrie.
In the story, Mylene serves as a key emotional anchor within Fire Bomber. Her relationships with her bandmates are central to her development. She shares a complex bond with the lead singer Basara Nekki, whose intense and often reckless dedication to music both inspires and frustrates her. She also has a close but sometimes strained relationship with the ace pilot Gamlin Kizaki; the two are informally engaged, and Mylene's feelings for both Basara and Gamlin create a romantic tension that evolves over the course of the series.
Over time, Mylene matures from a somewhat sheltered girl into a more confident and capable individual. She learns to balance her familial expectations with her own ambitions. Her musical skill grows, and she becomes a proficient pilot, using her Valkyrie to support Fire Bomber's unconventional combat tactics. Notably, she is able to communicate emotively with her alien pet, a long-haired mouse-like creature named Gubaba.
Mylene's abilities include her talents as a bassist and vocalist, her piloting skills, and her capacity to channel emotion into her performances, which proves vital in battles where music can drain or restore spiritual energy. She also has interests in Galaxy Drive, synchronized swimming, and fencing, though these are personal pastimes rather than combat-related skills. Her role in Macross 7 Encore reinforces her continued involvement in Fire Bomber and her ongoing navigation of the relationships that define her journey.
