Atra Mixta (アトラ・ミクスタ Atora Mikusuta?) is a character introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS. She is friends with the CGS boys and has a crush on Mikazuki Augus.[1]
Personality & Character[]
Skills & Abilities[]
Unlike most children in Chryse, Atra has learned how to read and write. She was taught how to do so by Haba.[2] Due to her job making deliveries to CGS, she also learned to drive at a very young age.[3]
History[]
Atra used to do the cleaning up at a strip club located in the slums of Chryse and the strippers who worked there would constantly bully her. One day, she ran away and was starving. It was there that she met Mikazuki. Mikazuki got Haba to help her and she got a job working at Haba's Store.[4]
When she saw Mikazuki growing closer with Kudelia, she became worried and decided to join the newly formed Tekkadan as their cook. She grew closer with Kudelia throughout the journey and after meeting the Turbines and learning about Naze's harem, she realized that she didn't need to compete with Kudelia and that Mikazuki could marry them both.
When the crew reached the Dorts colonies, she was mistaken for Kudelia and captured. She kept up the façade to protect the real Kudelia and was beaten by her captors in a vain attempt to extract information. When Mikazuki rescued her and Kudelia expressed her concern, she told them both that she was fine.
After the battle of Edmonton, Astra would sometimes help out on Mikazuki's farm with Kudelia. She continued to help the crew, eventually confessing to Mikazuki and copulating with him. Though unwilling, she fled the Tekkadan base with Kudelia before the Arianrhod Fleet began their attack in earnest.
In the epilogue, it is revealed that she gave birth to Mikazuki's son. The pair live on a farm with Kudelia.
Relationships[]
Mikazuki Augus[]
She has a crush on him. They met outside a shop when Atra was ten years old and starving.[4] Mikazuki asked the owner of the shop to give him any food that was worth what little money he had for her, and the shopkeeper responded by giving Atra food and a workplace. Atra made the bracelet that Mikazuki wears on his left wrist, and he treasures it greatly. He can be quite protective of her as he nearly crushes Hush Middy's arm when the latter was about to get physical with her during an argument. As Mikazuki's physical well-being deteriorates due to him seeking higher compatibility with his Gundam via the Alaya-Vijnana system, Atra begins to show anguish over his willingness to sacrifice himself. On the night before the final battle with Rustal Elion's fleet, she tearfully confesses that she loves him. In response, Mikazuki hugs her from behind and reveals that she is precious to him and that he will fight so she can stop crying. After learning of Mika's feelings, they eventually consummate their relationship in an attempt to conceive a child. Although they both seem confident that they were successful in their attempt, Mikazuki acknowledged that it was still too early to determine if Atra was actually pregnant when he broke the news to Kudelia. Despite this acknowledgement, Mikazuki still asks Kudelia to help Atra raise their child in the event that he was killed, or otherwise rendered incapable of helping to raise the child himself. Unfortunately, those events came to pass when Mikazuki was killed in the final battle with Gjallarhorn at Tekkadan's base on Mars. However, Mikazuki and Atra's effort to conceive a child proved fruitful, and Atra gave birth to their son, Akatsuki Augus Mixta Bernstein, after the conflict. Together, they were shown to be living a peaceful life on Sakura's farm on Mars.
Kudelia Aina Bernstein[]
Atra views Kudelia as a good friend and a rival for Mikazuki's affections. The latter played a role in her choosing to join Tekkadan. After meeting the Turbines and learning about Naze's harem, Atra begins to accept Kudelia as a fellow potential "wife" of Mikazuki. She later tells Mikazuki and Kudelia that they are all family. Atra eventually gives Kudelia a bracelet of her own, matching the ones already worn by herself and Mikazuki. It is also shown that Atra and Mikazuki visit Kudelia at her office on Mars when Mikazuki is not on duty. After Mikazuki and Atra made the decision to conceive a child, Mikazuki asked Kudelia to help Atra look after their child in the event that he were rendered unable to do so. Kudelia was initially heartbroken upon hearing the news, not fully realizing until a moment later that Atra actually wished for a polygamous romantic relationship between herself, Kudelia, and Mikazuki. Kudelia laughed at how strange their situation was, but fully accepted the love triangle between them, and agreed to their individual requests. After Mikazuki was killed in the final battle, Kudelia made good on her promise to Mikazuki and took every opportunity her schedule could allow visiting Sakura's farm to be with Atra and her son, Akatsuki. At an official promotional event held in Shinjuku on April 9, 2017, it was revealed that Atra and Kudelia married.[5]
Haba[]
Haba is the person who took her in when she ran away from the strip club and was too hungry to even stand up. She was her manager at the store and very kind to her, looking after Atra in her youth. Haba easily agrees to let her quit when she decides to become a cook for Tekkadan.[6]
