Fraw Bow, originally bearing that name prior to her marriage to Hayato Kobayashi, hails from Side 7 in the Universal Century era. She first emerges during a Zeon assault on her colony, compelling childhood friend Amuro Ray to evacuate. This act spares her life as the attack claims her mother and grandfather. Surviving solely through her pursuit of Amuro, this trauma propels her onto the Earth Federation’s White Base. Aboard the ship, she volunteers for duty, starting in communications support before fully assuming the operator role. Simultaneously, she becomes surrogate mother to three orphans: Katz Hawin, Letz Cofan, and Kikka Kitamoto, overseeing their daily welfare and meal preparation throughout the One Year War. Her bond with Amuro shifts dramatically during this time. Initial devotion wanes as combat strains him and he gravitates toward Matilda Ajan and Lalah Sune. Amid this distance, she forges a mutual connection—and eventual romance—with mobile suit pilot Hayato Kobayashi, who shares his vulnerabilities with her. Post-war, she weds Hayato, formally adopts Katz, Letz, and Kikka, and bears a child with him. Lingering affection for Amuro endures. During the Gryps Conflict (U.C. 0087), while pregnant, she visits the surveilled Amuro with her children. Recognizing shared resolve, she permits Katz to join him—a decision preceding Katz’s death at Gryps. Later, Hayato perishes in Dublin’s colony drop, leaving her widowed. In *Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin*, her early dynamic with Amuro features a later-forming friendship marked by frequent arguments, though her core White Base responsibilities persist. This version underscores her German roots, aligning with "Frau" as her name’s origin. By U.C. 0094, after the Second Neo Zeon War, she refuses attendance at Amuro’s memorial. Conversing with Kikka—who intends to publish a book humanizing Amuro—she reflects on his domestic helplessness, recalling her insistence he eat. She aids Kikka’s project by supplying a letter from the deceased Hayato and Kai Shiden’s contact. Her persona evolves from typical teenager to a resilient nurturer forged by conflict and grief. She persistently prioritizes others’ well-being, especially her orphaned charges, despite resistance. This maternal commitment defines her legacy beyond military service.
