History
Arlette had been mobile suit mechanic since a young child, often working with Char Aznable's mobile suits. Arlette was raised in the Flanagan Institute, where she was subjected to inhumane experimentation alongside other children. As a suspected Newtype, she spent many years being tested for her abilities. However, she was unable to meet the institute's expectations, and could her results were only on par with ordinary pilots, and following subsequent unfavorable test results, she became a candidate for disposal.
However, at the same time Lalah Sune and Char had been visiting the Flanagan Institute, Char took note of her exceptional engineering skills, and offered her a chance to become his mobile suit mechanic. She later was assigned to the Maharaja Khan Memorial Research Institute, to help develop MS, where she met Danton Hyleg, a test pilot.
After the end of the Second Neo Zeon War, she hid her identity and moved to Side 6 with Danton Hyleg. However, when Mehmet Merca of the Earth Federation "Mastema" forces asks of her to join him in investigating Axis, following the events of Laplace's Box, she accepts, wanting to find out what had happened to Char, who disappeared following "Axis Shock" at the end of the Second Neo Zeon War.
