Ezalia Joule (エザリア・ジュール Ezaria Jūru, also spelled as "Ezalia Jule"?) is a character introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Ezalia Joule is the mother of Yzak Joule.
Personality & Character[]
Ezalia shares the same radical views as Patrick Zala, viewing Naturals with contempt and holing no hope for peace between the Earth Alliance and PLANT. Despite her aggressive views, Ezalia deeply cares for her son Yzak.
By the events of the Foundation Conflict, she would drop her original genocidal beliefs after her eventual release and take on the more tolerant stance of her former moderate rivals, even to the point of opposing Hari Jagganath's coup d'etat, which sought to renew extremist ZAFT policies.

History[]
Ezalia Joule was originally from Martius City - home of one of ZAFT's primary arms manufacturers, Martius Arsenals. Her specialty was in aviation, aerospace, and engineering. A member of the PLANTs' National Defense Committee headed by Patrick Zala, she was his strongest supporter, and like him sat on the Supreme Council. She was also a member of the same radical faction as Zala. At the end of the Second Battle of Jachin Due, she was arrested in a coup d'état led by Eileen Canaver.[1]
After the conclusion of the Second Alliance-PLANT War, displeased with how Yzak never paid attention during blind dates, she made three holographic maids based on his dates (which she voiced herself) to get him to look at them, much to Yzak's annoyance.[2]
During the ZAFT coup d'état in C.E.75, Ezalia along with the Supreme Council would be evacuated by loyalist forces lead by Yzak to the safety of the FFMH-Y101 Eternal. During the meeting, Ezalia sizes up Shiho Hahnenfuss, much to Shiho’s and Yzak’s consternation.
