Movie
Description
Bobby Margot serves as the highly capable and flamboyant helmsman of the Macross Quarter, a key warship operated by the private military firm Strategic Military Services, or S.M.S., in the film Macross Frontier: The False Songstress. Before his career as a military helmsman, Bobby had a completely different profession as a legendary make-up artist, a background that informs several of his later actions and interests.
In terms of personality, Bobby is larger than life. He is known for his flamboyant demeanor, his love of telling jokes, and his habit of offering unsolicited relationship advice to his crewmates. He is particularly fond of singing karaoke, sometimes doing so right on the bridge during quieter moments. Despite his often humorous and seemingly carefree attitude, he is a consummate professional when the situation demands it. During combat, he can become hot-headed and intensely focused, executing daring maneuvers against the alien Vajra with impressive skill. A notable quirk is that his voice and manner of speaking become more masculine and aggressive when the Macross Quarter transforms into its assault mode, a sharp contrast to his usual effeminate tone.
Bobby's motivations are deeply tied to his loyalty to the crew of the Macross Quarter, and to one person in particular. He harbors strong, unrequited romantic feelings for his commanding officer, Ozma Lee. While Bobby is openly gay and considers Ozma his "heart lover," he is also a realist who accepts that Ozma is heterosexual and never acts on his feelings in a way that would make his superior uncomfortable. Instead, he becomes one of Ozma's most trusted partners and confidants, a role he treasures.
His key relationships define his role in the story. His bond with Ozma is the most significant, built on mutual respect and years of service together. He is also very close to Catherine Glass, initially dismissive of her but eventually developing a strong rapport as they become each other's confidants, often discussing their shared concern for Ozma. Bobby is fiercely protective of Ranka Lee, whom he views as a little sister due to her being Ozma's ward. He reacts aggressively to anyone he believes might be trying to exploit her, especially New United Nations Spacy personnel. He also enjoys gossiping and socializing with his fellow bridge officers, Monica Lang, Mina Roshan, and Ram Hoa, acting as a trusted senior colleague. His past as a make-up artist comes to the forefront as he takes on the role of Ranka's personal make-up artist and career advisor after her singing career begins to take off, showing his practical and supportive nature.
As for development, Bobby remains a constant and stabilizing presence throughout the events of The False Songstress. While his core personality does not drastically change, his relationships deepen, particularly his protective instinct towards Ranka and his unwavering support for Ozma. His abilities are notable and dual-faceted. Professionally, he is an extraordinarily skilled helmsman and pilot, capable of handling the massive Macross Quarter in the heat of intense space battles. Personally, he is a master of hair and make-up, a talent he uses to help those he cares about.
