Deira Nadira (デイラ・ナディラ?) is a fictional character that appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Gekko manga.
History[]
Deira Nadira is the heir to House Nadira. After the shuttle explosion that allegedly claimed the life of her fiancée, Mina Zalmfort, her father, Lord Nadira, was accused of misconduct with the African Union, leading to his imprisonment. Deira, believing that her father was framed, stole her family's Gundam Frame, the ASW-G-56 Gundam Gremory, and fled to an island near Antarctica.
During her self-imposed exile, she encountered Argi Mirage, piloting his Gundam Astaroth Renascimento, looking for her regarding House Zalmfort's plot against her family. The two then fought, with Argi claims that Mina is alive and wants to see her again. Not believing him, she continued attacking until Mina called out to her, breaking up the fight. She later discussed the circumstances surrounding her father's imprisonment and the House Zalmfort's involvement.
After House Zalmfort's corruption was exposed following a fight between Tanto Tempo and the Zalmfort family patriarch, Deira restored her family's name and took over as head of the family. She was also given the job of the disgraced Sylt Zalmfort, who had masterminded the shuttle explosion.
Relationships[]
- Mina Zalmfort
- Deira's fiancée through a political marriage, she was believed to have died in a shuttle explosion outside of the Dort colonies. Her alleged death prompted the framing of Deira's father for corruption with the African Union. Truly believing Mina was killed, Deira was in disbelief when told she was alive until she finally heard her voice again. Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding both of their families, Deira was content and allowed Mina to assume her new life as Mina Cerulean.
