Mineva Lao Zabi

In the TV anime Gundam (Universal Century series) universe, Mineva Lao Zabi (ミネバ・ラオ・ザビ Mineba Rao Zabi?) is the last surviving member of the Zabi family and heir to the Principality of Zeon; she is the daughter of Dozle Zabi and Zenna Zabi.

Mineva was born during the One Year War, Dozle insisted that Zenna took young Mineva and flee to the Zeon's Axis base in the asteroid belt. Her mother died, leaving the young princess in the hands of Maharajah Khan; Haman Karn took over for her father after his death as Regent, guiding Mineva until she was ready to take over. At the conclusion of the Neo-Zeon war, Mineva declares herself a fake. However, as there was never a hint of this before, it can be assumed it's the real Mineva lying (Probably under Haman's advice) in order to no longer be embroiled in the continued Zeon-Earth conflicts as either a puppet of Zeon, or a person marked for death by Earth extremists.

In a Playstation game for Z Gundam, a secret ending in Char's scenario reveals two escorts guiding Mineva to a private cabin in a resort colony, which leads the assumption that Char had a hand in Mineva's disappearance, freeing her from the burden of being a puppet for Haman's schemes.

Mineva later plays a prominent role in Mobile Suit Vs. Giant God: Gigantis' Counterattack, a non-canon crossover manga with Space Runaway Ideon.

Mineva plays a prominent role in Gundam Unicorn, under the guise of Audrey Burn.

Mineva plays a prominent role in Mobile Suit Gundam: Moon Crisis (U.C.0099). Bellm Hyeres (one of chief instigator in the story) told "Mineva" that she wasn't the real Mineva, but a clone, as they need a name, a reason to declare war (when she tries to stop the war through broadcast). Its later revealed that she is the real Mineva in the last conversation of Bellm with his underling: "Captain! That Mineva....are we serving a fake?...Don't ask stupid question! Would one risk his life for a fake?", before his ship explodes.

Mineva's appearance in the Moon Crisis conflicts with her appearance in Unicorn (and vice versa), but as neither story is canonical, the validity of either one is disputed.

In movie version of Zeta Gundam. Mineva was planned to go to Earth to study after the Gyrps Conflict, which this act turns down the timeline of both Double Zeta and Char's Counterattack's.
