Description
Feldt Grace is a fictional character from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00, appearing in the first and second television seasons as well as the follow-up film, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer. She serves as a tactical operator and systems engineer aboard Celestial Being’s mothership, the CBS-70 Ptolemaios, and later its successor vessels.
Born on December 28, 2293, Feldt is the daughter of Ruido Resonance and Marlene Vlady, both of whom were second-generation Gundam Meisters for the paramilitary organization Celestial Being. Her parents were test pilots for the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea and the GNY-003 Gundam Abulhool, respectively, and died in an accident when the GN Drive of the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone overloaded, releasing a lethal dose of GN particles. Due to Celestial Being’s strict rules of secrecy, Feldt was never told the specific circumstances of their deaths, a fact she carries with her throughout her life. As a result, she was raised within the organization, which became her only home.
In terms of personality, Feldt is initially depicted as an introverted, stoic, and somewhat anti-social young woman. She is often quiet and speaks only when necessary, frequently preferring the company of machines, particularly the pink and yellow Haro units, to other people. This reserved nature is a core part of her character, leading her to keep her emotions to herself. She is also known to dye her hair pink because she felt self-conscious about being born and raised in space rather than on Earth. Despite her quiet demeanor, she possesses a strong inner core of bravery and determination. She is capable of standing up in difficult situations, and her resolve can surprise and inspire those around her.
Feldt’s primary motivation is her commitment to Celestial Being and its mission, which she views as continuing the legacy of her deceased parents. As the series progresses, her motivation evolves to include a deep-seated desire to protect the crew members she has come to regard as her family. Her sense of duty is profound, and she focuses on her work to move forward from personal tragedies rather than succumbing to despair.
Within the story, Feldt’s role is that of a critical support staff member rather than a frontline combatant. Her duties are multifaceted, encompassing communications, tactical forecasting, computer programming, and systems maintenance. She actively monitors the Gundams’ performance and the pilots’ conditions during armed interventions, provides real-time tactical updates, and can remotely reprogram the Gundams from the ship. Her technical expertise and ability to remain calm under pressure make her an indispensable member of the crew.
Feldt’s key relationships are central to her character development. She forms a close bond with fellow operator Christina Sierra, whose more outgoing and feminine nature contrasts with Feldt’s own, but who encourages Feldt to open up. Her most significant early relationship is with Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy), the pilot of the GN-002 Gundam Dynames. He shows her kindness, learns about her past, and encourages her to live on, leading her to develop romantic feelings for him. The deaths of both Christina and Neil in the first season’s final battle are traumatic losses that harden her but also spur her emotional growth. In the second season, she confronts complicated feelings upon meeting Neil’s identical twin brother, Lyle Dylandy, who takes the Lockon Stratos name. She is initially attracted to him because of the resemblance but ultimately recognizes that he is a different person. Later, she develops feelings for the Gundam Meister Setsuna F. Seiei. Before a critical battle, she gives him a desert flower as a token of good luck and as an expression of her unspoken affection, telling him not to die. This flower becomes a poignant symbol of her feelings and of life amidst conflict.
Throughout the series, Feldt undergoes significant development. She transforms from a withdrawn and emotionally isolated girl into a more mature, composed, and openly caring young woman. While she never entirely loses her quiet nature, she learns to express her emotions more directly, defend her family on the ship, and offer comfort and support to others. By the time of the film, she has cut her hair short, symbolizing a release from her past grief and a readiness for the future.
Feldt’s notable abilities lie not in piloting mobile suits but in her technical and tactical acumen. She is a highly skilled programmer and systems engineer, capable of hacking into and reprogramming complex computer systems. As a Combat Information Center operator, she excels at managing large amounts of data, coordinating multi-front operations, and making critical decisions under pressure. Her bravery is also a notable ability, as she consistently performs her duties effectively even in life-threatening situations.
