Description
Feldt Grace is a fictional character from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00. She is born on December 28, 2293 Anno Domini. Her physical appearance changes subtly over the course of the series; in the first season, she is 14 years old, stands 155 cm tall, and has long, strawberry-blonde hair. By the second season, she has grown to 161 cm and styles her hair by tying it up, a change she adopts in memory of her late friend. In the theatrical conclusion, she appears with a shorter, more mature haircut, symbolizing her release from past grief.
Her background is deeply intertwined with the private armed organization Celestial Being. Feldt is a second-generation member, as her parents were both Gundam Meisters for the organization's second development phase. Her father, Ruido Resonance, and her mother, Marlene Vlady, died in an accident involving a GN Drive when she was young. Subsequently, Feldt was raised aboard the organization's mothership, the Ptolemaios, and she came to view her fellow crew members as her surrogate family.
In terms of personality, Feldt is initially presented as an introverted, stoic, and private individual. She is quiet and speaks little unless required, finding comfort in working with machines rather than engaging in social activities. Unlike her more outgoing colleague Christina Sierra, she shows little interest in fashion or upbeat conversation. She has a noticeable fondness for Lockon Stratos's yellow Haro, frequently talking to the robot, which may stem from a sense of comfort with mechanical beings. As the series progresses, particularly after the traumatic events of the first season, she gradually opens up, learning to express her feelings more freely and showing a much warmer and more caring demeanor.
Her role within Celestial Being is that of a multi-purpose crew member aboard the Ptolemaios. She serves as a tactical operator, a programmer, an engineer, and a mechanic. Her duties are critical during combat interventions; she actively monitors the performance of the Gundams and their Meisters, updates tactical information in real-time, and can even remotely reprogram the Gundams from the ship. When not in battle, she is responsible for researching strategic intelligence and maintaining the ship's systems.
Feldt's motivations are largely driven by her sense of family and her desire to protect those she cares about. Because Celestial Being is her home, she is committed to its mission and the safety of its members. Her emotional journey is marked by key relationships. She develops a quiet, admiring affection for the Gundam Meister Lockon Stratos, whose kindness helps soften her reserved nature. His death is a devastating blow. During the second season, she meets his identical twin brother, Lyle Dylandy, who takes on the Lockon Stratos codename. She briefly projects her unresolved feelings for the late Neil onto Lyle, a misunderstanding he gently corrects. She also experiences a rare, intense outburst of grief and anger when she confronts Marie Parfacy, a former enemy who has joined the crew, as Marie's presence brings back the pain of her fallen comrades.
Over time, her feelings shift towards the protagonist, Setsuna F. Seiei. She comes to admire his strength and his vision for the future, seeing in him a similar resolve she once saw in Lockon. In a pivotal moment before the final battle of the second season, she gives Setsuna a flower as a symbol of her feelings, pleading with him not to die. In the movie, this connection deepens. When Setsuna is critically injured and comatose after an encounter with the alien ELS, Feldt stays by his side, holding his hand and praying for his recovery. She ultimately accepts that his purpose is a grand, universal one, and she resolves to support him from afar, finding peace in simply holding him in her thoughts.
In terms of abilities, Feldt is highly skilled in mechanics and engineering, despite having little talent for interpersonal communication. Her technical proficiency allows her to perform vital behind-the-scenes work that keeps the Gundams operational. Her natural quietness also lends itself to a calm and focused demeanor under pressure, making her a reliable operator even in the midst of intense combat.
