Lalah Sune is a character that appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga and its OVA adaptation.

History[]

U.C. 0077[]

Lalah was born in Mumbai, India and by U.C. 0077, she was using her Newtype abilities in Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil to help gangsters cheat in casinos. One night, she was kidnapped from the Manaus Mobsters' armed boat by The Gambler and his henchman, Agha. Her new master escaped the boat with her in his arm by diving into the piranha-filled waters.[1]

She would follow the Gambler to a casino, where she signaled how he should play on his back. While this worked for the first dealer, she consistently failed to give appropriate instructions when the dealer changed, and she is abused by the Gambler. To her defense, however, would come Char Aznable, who was in the casino with his co-workers from his construction work.

The group would soon be attacked by members of the Manaus Mobsters, and when they reached the construction company's head office, the Gambler is immediately killed by Agha. While Char fights the assassin, Lalah intuitively sends a vision to him that saves him and allows him to kill Agha. The pair take refuge within one of the construction Mobile Workers, and Lalah formally introduces herself to Char.

Char would soon kill the mobsters sent to retrieve Lalah, and promised to take her to a new place "within the stars". By the time Char returns to space, Lalah has joined him and is quietly living her life within an apartment in one of the space colonies.

U.C. 0079[]

Throughout the early half of the One Year War resided in Char's house in Side 6. During a rainy day, she would coincidentally meet Amuro Ray, who was allowed shelter until the rain subsided, during which he was immediately smitten by her. The next day, she and Char coincidentally find Amuro travelling to meet his father but having his jeep bogged down in the mud. The pair would help tow Amuro's jeep out, though she and Char would be unaware that Amuro was actually the pilot of the Federation's RX-78-02 Gundam. That night, they would watch the news broadcast of the Gundam's battle against Dren's forces, where the unit single-handedly wins the entire battle by destroying several Doms.

Lalah would formally join the Zeon forces during the battle at the Texas Colony as one of the first newtypes that Zeon would enlist. Unlike the anime, she acted more like Char's secretary initially and simply accompanied the officers on a jeep in the Texas Colony while Char and Challia Bull engaged the White Base's mobile suits. As the colony began to tear from the battle inside, Lalah was unwilling to leave due to her newtype connection with Amuro and Char. When she split off with an officer in pursuit, the officer realized that they were alone and attempted to rape her. Fortunately, Amuro and Char's battle came towards her direction, and the officer was killed as collateral while she was safely transported back by Char's MS-14S Gelgoog Commander Type.

By the time after Solomon, Lalah was finally trained as a pilot and would launch with the MAN-08 Elmeth to support Char in attacking Amuro. During the battle, both were emotionally torn by the conflict, yet Lalah remained true to Char and continued to attack Amuro. When Amuro gained the upper hand and was about to deal a fatal blow to Char, Lalah knocked her commander out of the way and took the blow instead. Lalah would be killed almost instantly as the Elmeth burned itself apart, and this caused a massive shock to both Amuro and Char.
