Amida Arca

Amida Arca (アミダ・アルカ, Amida Aruka^?) is one of the fictional characters in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS anime series. She is a member of Turbines and the pilot of STH-05/AC Amida's Hyakuren.

Personality & Character

Amida is a tall, large built woman, towering over her husband Naze Turbine. She typically wears a button down shirt, knotted at her midriff, exposing scars on her abdomen and upper chest. In addition to piloting her STH-05/AC Amida's Hyakuren, she also takes command during combat. Before becoming Naze's wife, she wore light make up and her hair is worn ponytail style.

Skills & Abilities

Though not a user of the Alaya-Vijnana System, she is nonetheless an exceptional pilot, and likely one of the best in the series. This was evident from from how she was able to hold her ground against Julieta Juris (a very skilled pilot piloting the new high mobility Reginlaze Julia) using her older custom Hyakuren. The fact was further reinforced by Azee and Lafter, who had frequently bested the Alaya-Vijnana-equipped pilots from Tekkadan during simulations, commenting that they still had a long way to go to catch up to Amida.

Amida was also inferred to be a skilled fighter and have extensive knowledge in firearms, from being able to hold her own as a female mercenary way before meeting Naze.

History

Past

Amida was a mercenary hired by Naze Turbine, and eventually became his wife.^[1]

Battle against Tekkadan

Final Battle

She was killed during Iok Kujan's assault against the Turbines, when her Hyakuren was hit with a projectile from a Dainsleif railgun. Though her mobile suit was heavily damaged and she was in the brink of death, she was able to fire a final shot at Iok's ship, almost breaking through the ship's bridge.^[2]

Relationships

Naze Turbine: Amida is Naze Turbine's first wife, so every time Naze brings in a new woman she scolds him but he's forgiven eventually.

Hammerhead's Crew: Amida treats the entire Hammerhead crew as family. It is also clear that all girls respect her as the second-in-command of the Turbines.
