Icelina Eschonbach (イセリナ・エッシェンバッハ?) is a character introduced the anime Mobile Suit Gundam.
Personality[]
Prior to the One Year War, Icelina lived a life of privilege and wealth. As her father surrendered in the face of the Zeon invasion so as to prevent casualties, she lived in blissful ignorance of the heinous acts committed by the Principality and the family of Garma Zabi, whom she was deeply in love with. This in turn lead to her disobeying and rebelling against her father, whom did not approve of her infatuation with the Zeon commander.
Following Garma's death, she was entirely consumed by grief and an overwhelming desire for revenge, prompting her to beg survivors of his unit to launch one final but ill-equipped attack against the White Base. Her selfish actions would ultimately doom both the remains of Garma's unit as well as herself.
History[]
The daughter of former New Yark City mayor Eschonbach, Icelina was Garma Zabi's lover, and first meet him after Zeon forces occupied a North American city. While pursuing White Base, Garma talked to her at a ball held in honor of Zeon. There, he told her that they would marry regardless of what their parents wanted and that he'd present her to the Zeon people as his fiancée after he defeated White Base and the Gundam. Garma soon departed, but Icelina tried to follow him, only to be stopped by her father, who disapproved of her relationship with him. Her father later broke the news to her of Garma's death in battle, leaving Icelina heartbroken.

Following Garma's death, Icelina went to the nearby Zeon base and convinced one of his surviving officers, Lt. Darota to lead a special mission to destroy the White Base to avenge him. Despite being undermanned, underequipped and not trained for warfare, she and Darota pursued the White Base in a heated battle, which resulted in Darota's death and the crash landing of their Gaw. Having survived the crash, Icelina aimed her pistol at Amuro Ray, claiming that she wanted to avenge Garma's death (Amuro, not knowing that she was Garma's lover, was bewildered by her assassination attempt). However, she then slipped from atop the crashed Gaw and fell to her death. Nevertheless, the crew of the White Base give her a proper funeral and burial with all courtesy and respect despite not knowing who she was. Despite Icelina's failure, her actions would cause Amuro to become briefly traumatized.
