About

• One year after the Laplace Incident: A world one year after the "Laplace's Box" (the original Universal Century Charter) was revealed at the climax of Mobile Suit Gundam UC. • A stagnant world: Although the existence of the Charter was revealed and the rights of Newtypes were mentioned, no major changes occurred in the Earth Federation Government or the global framework itself. • Subsiding forces: The Neo Zeon remnants (The Sleeves), who caused major disturbances during the Laplace Incident, are in a temporary state of stagnation or collapse. • Sealed Unicorns: The two Unicorn Gundams, which displayed power beyond human understanding (such as Psycho-Frame resonance), were deemed dangerous and secretly sealed away. Experiments were being conducted at the Institute to turn ordinary people into Newtypes. There, children known as the "Miracle Children" are kept.

Characters

Rita Bernal

A beautiful, fragile-looking girl with ill-fated luck, possessing beautiful blonde hair and emerald green eyes. 15 years old. During her primary school days in U.C. 0079 (age 8), she was an Earthnoid living on Earth with formal residency rights. However, she had already awakened her "aptitude" to some extent. Before the start of the One Year War (January 3rd of that year), she foresaw the colony that would fall on their residential area in Australia (Sydney). Furthermore, she shared that vision with her childhood friends, Jona Basta and Michele Luio. Afterward, despite their youth, the three of them conveyed the crisis of the "future" to the city and saved some people, leading to them being called the "Miracle Children." ...However, due to their youth, their power was insufficient, and all three lost their families and became orphans. Subsequently, the three were targeted for their "track record" as Miracle Children and became test subjects at a Newtype research institute (the Augusta Institute) under the direct control of the Titans, where they spent several years. Because of their "track record," the three were kept at a level of treatment limited to medication and suggestion-level procedures. As seen in her dialogue, Rita believes in the existence of the "soul" and the concept of reincarnation as her emotional support. At age 15 (while at the Augusta Institute), she said, "If I'm reborn next time, I want to be a bird." She is a girl with a high spirit of self-sacrifice, innocent and pure, yet possessing a somewhat detached and mystical personality. Purity and Innocence: Despite her harsh upbringing and the experiments, she never lost her childlike purity and continued to care deeply for her childhood friends, Jona and Michele. Detached/Mystical: Possessing high Newtype abilities, she drifts toward an existence beyond the boundary of life and death (assimilation with the Phenex). Her wish to "become a bird" (to gain true freedom from the constraints of the flesh) gives her a somewhat otherworldly, mystical atmosphere. A future awaits where, years later, she will board the Unicorn, go berserk, and vanish somewhere. The machine's alias is the Phoenix. Golden armor.

Jona Basta

15 years old. Childhood friends with Michele Luio and Rita Bernal. During their childhood in U.C. 0079, he, along with Michele and Rita, sensed the Colony Drop in Australia beforehand and saved the townspeople by warning them, leading to them being called the "Miracle Children." However, since they couldn't save their own parents, he became an orphan. In the manga version, there is a scene where he is mocked by other children his age because of his space-born origins and his inability to fold origami well. Jona Basta's appearance is characterized by a somewhat dark design that reflects his harsh upbringing and inner sense of emptiness. Physical Characteristics: • Hair style and color: Dull brown hair with a slight wave. He has a somewhat messy, unkempt hairstyle as if he doesn't care about its growth. • Sharp, sunken eyes: His eye color is dark blue (or dark gray). Due to past trauma and harsh experiences as a test subject, there are few highlights in his eyes, and he constantly has a cold or sorrowful gaze, like "the eyes of a dead fish." Afterward, he was sent to a Newtype research institute managed by the Titans along with Rita and the others. In the story, perhaps due to Rita's influence, there are depictions suggesting Newtype abilities, but it is currently unknown if he possesses the "aptitude" of a Newtype. Jona Basta is a clumsy yet passionate young man who harbors a sense of emptiness as if he has given up on everything, yet is driven by strong feelings for his childhood friends and past trauma. Driven by Anger and Regret: He harbors regret and anger toward the events of his childhood and the adults who ruined their fates. He is not a picture-perfect good person, but has a gritty, clumsy set of principles. An Ordinary Human Without Special Powers: He is not a prominent Newtype himself, and his piloting skills are within the range of common sense. However, through his strong bond and resonance with Rita, he displays miraculous power.

Michele Luio

Childhood friends with Jona Basta and Rita Bernal. In her childhood, she lived without hardship as an Earthnoid with formal residency in the Australian district of Earth. However, before the start of the One Year War (January 3rd, U.C. 0079), the three childhood friends had the mysterious experience of "seeing" the Colony Drop. Despite being young, Michele and the others desperately conveyed that "future" to the area near Sydney, and they would later be called the "Miracle Children." Ultimately, they could not save their own parents and became orphans. Her relationship with Jona is somewhat strained. She was never able to obtain the love she secretly desired from him. Having harbored secret feelings for Jona for a long time since their girlhood, she continued to burn with emotions akin to jealousy and hatred toward Rita, saying, "That girl always has what I want," because Jona already had Rita. She shows a side of being a deeply affectionate yet jealous woman, having continued her unrequited love for Jona since she was a young girl. She has a personality that is "tough, realistic, and possesses a stronger obsession with survival than anyone else." Black hair in a short bob. Slightly upturned eyes. 15 years old.

The protagonists really don't get a break in the original story, so please, everyone, save them.
