{{Quote|Hailey Arhun explains to Dr [[Ony Kasuga]] why she killed E.F.F. soldiers instead of sparing their lives.<ref>[[Broken]]</ref>|'''I did it 'cause I had to, not 'cause I wanted to.'''}} {{nihongo|'''Hailey Arhun'''|ヘイリー・アーフン|Heirī Āfun}} is one of the character from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance]]''.<ref name="RfV1" /> ==Background== Raised in the [[Tigerbaum]] colony{{ref|RfV|5}} of [[Side 3]], 2nd. Lt. Arhun is an infantry who belongs to the [[First Armored Infantry Company|1st Armored Infantry Company]] under Zeon's [[Earth Attack Force]] during the [[One Year War]]. Her unit partnered with the [[Stein Battalion]] which was in-charge of the re-capture operation of [[Earth Federation Forces|E.F.F.]]'s military headquarter in [[Cluj-Napoca]], Romania in Eastern Europe on November 6, U.C. 0079. Arhun's unit were ambushed by the E.F.F. raid in the early morning on November 7, resulting in her commanding officer critically injured, thus leaving Arhun the most senior soldier within the unit. In order to evacuate her Company and the wounded to safety, Arhun joins up with [[Iria Solari]]'s team.{{ref|RfV|2}} ==Personality & Character== Arhun is patriotic with an attitude. Prior to her enlistment to Zeon Armed Force, Arhun was a delinquent who hacked ele-cars and stole them for joyride back in her native Tigerbaum.{{ref|RfV|5}} While in the military her avant-garde attire and tattoos led to repeated reprimands and punishments from her superiors<ref name="RfV1" />. Aside from her rebellious exterior, Arhun is obedient to her commanding officer and care for her subordinates, and she respects people like Solari who shows leadership in time of crisis, as she works closely with the latter to bring her troops out of harm's way.{{ref|RfV|2}} Arhun is sympathetic to Zeon's course for independence, and she cannot comprehend Dr [[Ony Kasuga]]'s belief of pacifism and equality between Zeon and Earth Federation. For Arhun, the E.F.F. is her enemy and there is no other way around, yet she is not a blood-thirsty person as she kills the enemies out of necessity.{{ref|RfV|2}} ==Skills & Abilities== Arhun processes excellent fighting abilities, as she is well-versed in infantry warfare, and demonstrates good shooting skill with not only assault rifle but also the [[PVN.44/1 Weasel|Armored Vehicle]]'s machine cannon. Her athleticism enables her to perform audacious attack against E.F.F's mobile suit with only an armored vehicle and escapes unharmed.{{ref|RfV|4}} In the absence of her commanding officer, Arhun is shown to be a capable leader who is able to work with peoples outside of her Company and evacuate her subordinates effectively.{{ref|RfV|2}} ==Armaments== ;*Stg78 Assault Rifle<ref name="MSG-OYW-Complete-History-UC0079_0080-pt01-p97">{{Cite book|title=機動戦士ガンダム 一年戦争全史 U.C.0079-0080 (上)|page=97|year=2007|month=March|publisher=GAKKEN|isbn=9784056045031|language=Japanese}}</ref> :The official rifle of Zeon Armed Force<ref name="MSG-MS-IGLOO-Mission-Complete-p125">{{Cite book|title=機動戦士ガンダム MS IGLOO Mission Complete|page=125|year=2009|month=December|publisher=竹書房|isbn=9784812440933|language=Japanese}}</ref> which can be selectively fired in one of the three modes: fully automatic, 3-point burst or semi-automatic, with optional sight can be rail-mounted on top for better shooting accuracy.

The attack inflicted serious damage and loss of lives, including 2nd. Lt. Hailey Arhun's unit, the 1st Armored Infantry Company with its commanding officer critically wounded and incapacitated, leaving Arhun being its most senior member. Guided by one of the 1stAIC soldier, Solari and co. encountered Arhun and her unit. Upon knowing the situation Arhun and her Company was in, Solari instructed Arhun to gather her troops for evacuation while the Red Wolf captain would execute an audacious plan to distract the intruding [[RX-78(G)E Gundam EX|Gundam EX]] with [[Kneeland LeSean|LeSean]], [[Ander Heaton|Heaton]] and a couple of [[MS-06V Zaku Tank (Requiem for Vengeance)|Zaku Tanks]]. Although the Gundam came out unscathed, Solari's plan worked and provided ample time for Arhun's infantry convoy to escape.{{ref|RfV|2}} Despite continuous interference by Gundam EX, the escaping convoy was able to head to the [[Romanian Mixed Mobile Brigade Headquarter]], the home base of Solari and the Red Wolves. They came too late as the HQ and all weapons were destroyed by EFF and Gundam EX's attack moments earlier with only a few survivors. On Heaton's suggestion, the gang then headed towards the nearby recycling centre run by Maj. [[Rolph Ronet]] of [[Brigade Support Command]]. Claiming the centre had no more capacity for accommodation, the major asked the gang to leave but soon they were warmly received by Solari's old friend, Tech. Capt. [[Alfee Zydos]] (Gearhead) who led the resident mechanics corps to salvage useful parts from damaged mobile weapons to keep Zeon's supply lines alive. On Solari's suggestion and persuasion, Zydos and his mechanics swiftly assembled two fully functional Zaku IIs using recycled parts from discarded Zakus and Magella tanks. As the EFF mounted a surprised raid at the recycling centre and the Red Wolf duo Solari and [[Kneeland LeSean|LeSean]] put the newly-built Zakus in action against the intruding Gundam EX and [[RGM-79 GM (Requiem for Vengeance)|RGM-79 GM]], Arhun, with help from her subordinate, use an [[PVN.44/1 Weasel|Armored Vehicle]] to attack and distract the EFF's [[RGM-79 GM (Requiem for Vengeance)|GM]] from inflicting more destruction at the centre. Afterwards, Arhun was grief stricken as her Company had been annihilated, leaving her the sole survivor.{{ref|RfV|4}} Under the order of Maj. Gen. [[Yuri Kellerne]], Arhun joined Solari, Heaton and Zydos to infiltrate the EFF's [[Olt Base|military base]] near [[Wikipedia:Olt (river)|The Olt]] in a daring operation to hijack two GMs for Zeon's technical examinations. Disguised as EFF soldiers, Arhun and Solari bumped into the base's GM pilots and a [[Gundam Pilot (Requiem for Vengeance)|young boy]] and they saluted Solari before they left to battle the infiltrators.{{ref|RfV|5}} The duo soon discovered a GM abandoned at a bridge an with Arhun fought off the EFF in a gun fight, Solari was able to activate the GM and rushed toward the Gundam EX who was trying to finish off Zydos and his stolen GM. The GM-jack operation ended in failure with the Gundam EX defeated Solari's GM and the loss of LeSean who sacrificed his life to rescue his captain. Arhun and the escaped infiltrators were able to locate the unconscious Solari at a nearly stream and picked by Maj. Ronet's convoy in time for evacuation to [[Odessa]] spaceport to board the remaining [[HLV]]s back to Space.{{ref|RfV|6}} With Dr Kasuga's help, Solari was resuscitated and bought back to life. As Solari volunteered to join the Odessa defense force to repel EFF's bombardment to the spaceport, Arhun and co. bided farewell to the Red Wolf captain and the UMRC doctor as they boarded the last HLV and return to Space safely.{{ref|RfV|6}} ==Gallery== ===Character Designs=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_design-00_uniform_20241126.png|In military uniform - front and rear </gallery> ===Armament Designs=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> Igloo 2_Firearms_Stg78 Assault Rifle_ll01_20250129.jpg|Stg78 Assault Rifle Igloo 2_Firearms_Stg78 Assault Rifle_ll02a_20250129.jpg|Stg78: Two types of magazine pouches Igloo 2_Firearms_M72A1 Assault Rifle_ll01a_20250129.jpg|CALT M72A1 Assault rifle </gallery> ===Anime=== ====[[Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance]]==== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep02_p02_20241204.jpg|First appearance (Episode 2: [[Broken]]) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep02_p01_20241124.jpg|Stopped by Dr [[Ony Kasuga]] of UMRC (Episode 2) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep02_p04_20241205.jpg|Gives order to her subordinate (Episode 2) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep03_p05_20241205.jpg|Aiming Stg78 assault rifle (Episode 3: [[Junkyard]]) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep03_p06_20241205.jpg|Solari and Arhun return fire (Episode 3) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep04_p08_20241215.jpg|Mourning the loss of her Company (Episode 4: [[Night Caller]]) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep05_p09_20241215.jpg|Disguises as E.F.F. soldier with Solari (Episode 5: [[The River]]) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep05_p09a_20250129.jpg|Stand on top of Solari's stolen GM (Episode 5) RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep05_p10_20241215.jpg|Returns fire with M72A1 assault rifle (Episode 5) </gallery> ===Illustrations & Artwork=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Neflix Japanese Broadcast Promo_p01_20241017.jpg|Official portrait for Japanese broadcast promotion (2024) </gallery> ===Manga=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> </gallery> ===Games=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> </gallery> === Other=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> </gallery> ==Notes & Trivia== [[Image:RfV_Character_Hailey Arhun_Ep02_p03_20241204.jpg|thumb|right|Armed with Stg78 assault rifle]] * Due to animation error, Arhun's Stg78 assault rifle was superimposed (12:00 in [[Broken|Episode 2]]) with overlapping scope and front sight being shown.
