Meyrin Hawke is a Coordinator and a supporting character in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. She is the younger sister of Lunamaria Hawke and serves as a communications controller for mobile suits on the ZAFT battleship Minerva. Despite being a soldier, she often displays the demeanor of an ordinary teenage girl, appearing thoughtful, gentle, and somewhat shy, especially in contrast to her more outgoing older sister. She is depicted as having medium-length red hair and brown eyes. Her motivations are closely tied to her personal feelings and her sense of loyalty. While she initially follows her duties aboard the Minerva, she develops a deep admiration for Athrun Zala, a fellow ZAFT member. As the conflict escalates and Athrun becomes disillusioned with the direction of ZAFT under Chairman Gilbert Durandal, Meyrin chooses to support him. Her role in the story shifts significantly when she decides to defect alongside Athrun, leaving behind her position on the Minerva and her sister. This decision creates a rift between her and Lunamaria, who remains loyal to ZAFT. After her defection, Meyrin joins the Three Ships Alliance and serves as a communications officer aboard the Eternal. Her key relationships include her sister Lunamaria, from whom she becomes estranged due to her choices, and Athrun Zala, whose cause she believes in and follows. Her development is marked by her transition from a quiet bridge crew member following orders to an individual who makes a personal stand by siding with Athrun and the Lacus faction. In terms of abilities, Meyrin is a capable communications officer and bridge operator, demonstrating competence in her technical duties aboard the Minerva and later the Eternal.
