Description
Frederica Greenhill is a central figure in the Alliance military and later the heart of the republican movement. She is the daughter of Admiral Dwight Greenhill, a high-ranking officer in the Free Planets Alliance’s space fleet. Her first encounter with Yang Wen-li occurred when she was just fourteen years old on the planet El Facil. As Imperial forces invaded, many Alliance officers fled, leaving a young Yang Wen-li to coordinate the evacuation of civilians. Frederica witnessed his quiet dedication and brought him coffee, only to be told he disliked it and would have preferred tea. Despite this blunt response, the impression he made was profound, and she fell in love with him.
This admiration became the driving force behind her career. Two years later, she enrolled in the Free Planets Alliance Officer Academy specifically to draw closer to Yang. She graduated as the salutatorian, second in her class, demonstrating exceptional intellectual discipline. Her fellow cadets nicknamed her the second cousin of a computer due to her near-perfect memory and extraordinary ability to synthesize information. This talent would prove invaluable throughout her military service. After graduation, she served in the Information Analysis Division before being assigned as Yang’s adjutant following the Battle of Astarte.
In her role as adjutant, Frederica is the picture of competence and loyalty. She handles logistics, communications, and administrative burdens with quiet efficiency, allowing Yang the mental space to develop his grand strategies. Her memory is her most notable ability; she can recall minute details from years past, such as identifying a defector by remembering a conversation overheard in her father’s study or spotting inconsistencies in intelligence photos. During the coup d’état led by the National Salvation Military Council, she faced a devastating personal trial, as her own father was placed at the head of the rebel government. While deeply shocked and pained by her father’s betrayal, she continued to serve Yang without hesitation during the subsequent civil war. When her father later died, she requested a short time to grieve privately and then returned immediately to her duties, showcasing remarkable emotional fortitude.
Beyond her professional skills, Frederica is a stabilizing presence for Yang Wen-li. She is patient with his clumsy social mannerisms and chaotic personal habits, including his love for brandy and tea. The two share a deep mutual understanding that is often communicated through subtle glances and quiet asides rather than grand speeches. Eventually, Yang proposed to her, confessing his feelings in his typically awkward and roundabout way just before a major battle, and she accepted with happiness. As Yang’s wife, she remained his closest supporter, though their domestic life was cut short by the political machinations of the post-war Alliance government. When Yang was illegally arrested, Frederica did not hesitate; she donned her uniform, organized a rescue mission with former comrades, and personally shot the officer threatening to execute her husband.
Her loyalties are absolute. She believes in Yang’s ideals and the principles of democracy he represents, but her primary motivation is often portrayed as a deep, abiding love for the man himself. She is fiercely protective of him and possesses a quiet courage that belies her calm demeanor, proving she is willing to take up arms against her own government to protect what is right. Following the establishment of the Iserlohn Republic after Yang’s tragic assassination, Frederica was chosen to serve as its first president. Though she accepted the role to keep Yang’s legacy and the flame of democracy alive, she famously remarked that she would rather democracy had died than to have lost her husband, a statement that defines her internal conflict between political duty and personal grief. In this political role, she provides a figurehead of legitimacy and moral authority, deferring military leadership to younger figures like Julian Mintz while ensuring the soul of their movement remains intact.
