TV Special
Description
Miwa Hino, daughter of Yumiko and Michio Hino, is the first child born naturally after the Festum conflict began. This grants her a unique connection to the silicon-based aliens, enabling direct communication and positioning her as a bridge between humanity and the Festum. Before meeting Emery Almond in person, Miwa resides on Tatsumiyajima and coordinates remotely with Chizuru Toomi and Alvis to ensure the safe passage of Emery's aircraft. She eagerly greets Emery upon arrival, establishing their foundational friendship. During shared meals, Miwa and Emery confirm their prior communications to Yumiko. Miwa also displays curiosity toward Jonathan Mitsuhiro Bartland, who shares stories about her father.
Following the Fourth Operation Azure, Miwa assumes pilot duties for the Salvator-model Fafner Mark Sein, succeeding Kazuki Makabe. This unit, originally developed by her grandfather Youji Hino with assistance from Mitsuhiro Bartland and the Festum Mjolnir, possesses unique assimilation and core manipulation capabilities. Its primary armament is the versatile Lugar Lance, adaptable for melee combat and long-range energy attacks.
During the Fifth Operation Azure, Miwa deploys in Mark Sein as part of the first group. She emphasizes non-violent resolution, requesting passage through Festum forces via communication and engaging in combat only when necessary. The mission requires penetrating a crystallized forest barrier to intercept a rocket. En route, Miwa identifies the enemy Specter unit's pilot as Legato rather than Maris Excelsior. Though she reaches the rocket, hesitation at the critical moment allows Maris and abducted children to escape, collapsing the operation. Miwa expresses remorse through tears and an apology.
Her development continues into the Sixth Operation Azure, where she evolves Mark Sein, altering its appearance and capabilities. This underscores her growing synchronization with the unit and her role as bearer of its "blessing," representing the aspect of "Existence" within the series' duality framework.
The spin-off *Sōkyū no Fafner Behind the Line* depicts events preceding Miwa's meeting with Emery, though specific details regarding her actions or development within this installment remain unprovided.
