Description
Canaria Berstein is a character from the Macross Frontier film The Wings of Farewell, as well as the original television series. She is a first lieutenant in the private military organization Strategic Military Services, or S.M.S., where she serves dual roles as both a combat pilot and a medical officer. According to the series novelization, she is of German and Caribbean descent. Her callsign within Skull Squadron is Rabbit-1.
As a pilot, Canaria is assigned to operate the S.M.S. Skull Squadron's VB-6 König Monster, a large-scale variable bomber known for its overwhelming firepower and heavy armor. In this role, she provides heavy artillery support for the squadron's smaller and more agile variable fighters. Her own physical stature is notable, standing 180 centimeters tall. In the film The Wings of Farewell, she participates in a tribute to the band Fire Bomber by cosplaying as the drummer Veffidas Feaze as part of a group called Lovely Bomber.
Canaria is a woman of few words, rarely speaking out of turn. When she does choose to speak, her comments carry significant weight and often serve as a crucial voice of reason, particularly for her superior officer, Ozma Lee. Beyond her military role, she possesses a medical license and has practical experience working as a doctor, which allows her to fulfill the duties of a medic for S.M.S.. Her calm and reliable demeanor leads her to support and encourage younger members of the group, such as Alto Saotome and Michael Blanc, particularly when they face personal hardships. She also uses her medical expertise to care for Ranka Lee during a period when the young songstress loses her memory.
Her personal life adds a layer of motivation to her professional duties. She has a former husband and a young son named Eddie living within the Macross Frontier fleet. She keeps a photograph of her son in the cockpit of her VB-6 König Monster, and her determination to fight is driven by a desire to protect her family, who take shelter during the Vajra attacks. Her abilities are thus twofold: she is a skilled pilot of a unique and powerful variable bomber, and a licensed medical professional, making her an invaluable asset to the S.M.S. in both combat and recovery operations.
