Meyrin Hawke

Sign in to edit

Meyrin Hawke (メイリン・ホーク Meirin Hooku?) is a character introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. She is Lunamaria Hawke's younger sister and a member of the Minerva bridge crew, where she serves as a communications controller for its complement of mobile suits.

Personality & Character[]

In contrast to her sister who is cheerful and open, Meyrin is shy and somewhat closed off even from her own sister. Despite this she does maintain a friendly relationship with everyone on the ship but only seems to hang around her sister more than anyone else, however despite her closeness to her sister Meyrin carries somewhat of an inferiority complex to Lunamaria; this seen when Lunamaria is in the shower and Meyrin tries on her miniskirt and is annoyed when it doesn't fit her. Also like her sister she has what seems to be a one-sided crush on Athrun Zala, however due to her shy nature she is unable to express herself.

Since their early days, Meyrin and Lunamaria were great admirers of Lacus Clyne, but this led to conflict when they competed with the fake Lacus for Athrun's affections. Upon meeting the real Lacus, Meyrin would be more relaxed, and it is indicated in the Omake Quarters that the former idol is among the few Meyrin is truly able to open herself to.

Skills & Abilities[]

Meyrin is the youngest member of the bridge crew, but she supervises the ship's mobile suits and communications. Her greatest asset is multi-tasking in tactical coordination and hacking systems. She was trained to delegate information between the bridge, the MS pilots, communications between Minerva crew members for tactical coordination, and their complex launching procedures with professional efficiency. She has also been shown to be skilled or at least capable of using firearms.

Physical Aspects & Clothing[]

History[]

Early Days[]

Meyrin was born with her sister, Lunamaria, on one of the PLANT colonies and they both entered ZAFT. Lunamaria became a red coat mobile suit pilot, while Meyrin became the CIC officer. In October of C.E. 73, both of them became stationed on the newly developed battleship Minerva.[1][2] Aboard, Meyrin witnessed the events that led to the start of the Second Alliance-PLANT War.[3]

On the Minerva: Attraction to Athrun[]

Meyrin was attracted to Athrun Zala. After the Minerva docked at Mahamul Base, Meyrin tried to put on her sister's skirt and was displeased when it was too small for her. Afterwards, Meyrin mentions how highly she thought of Athrun Zala. At Gibraltar base, Athrun was framed as a traitor and was being chased by ZAFT personnel. To avoid pursuit he ducked into Meyrin's room, then planed to leave rather than implicate her. However, Meyrin helped Athrun escape by lying to the men chasing him so they would think she was alone in her room. She then hacked base security, and drove Athrun to a hangar where he could steal a mobile suit. Although Meyrin did not originally intend to escape with Athrun, she choose to join him when they were discovered by Rey Za Burrel.[4] The two attempted to escape in a ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited, but were pursued by Rey and Shinn Asuka in their new mobile suits, the ZGMF-X666S Legend and ZGMF-X42S Destiny, respectively. The GOUF Ignited was destroyed by Shinn and crashed into sea. Gilbert Durandal framed Meyrin and Athrun, who are thought to be dead, as being agents of Logos.[5]

Joining the Three Ships Alliance[]

Meyrin and Athrun both survived and were rescued by Ledonir Kisaka, who brought them to the Archangel. Though Athrun suffered more physical injuries, Meyrin had to deal with a high fever caused by her injuries. Once she recovered, Meyrin took care of Athrun until he recovered, acting as a human crutch for him to be able to get around in the Archangel. When they were facing ZAFT during their invasion of Orb, Athrun urged Meyrin to leave him and avoid the battle, but Meyrin insisted on staying and asked not to be left behind once again, to which Athrun relented. Later, Meyrin had her first meeting with the real Lacus Clyne as she helped Athrun overcome his personal demons. Just before the Archangel launched into space, Cagalli Yula Athha asked Meyrin to take care of Athrun, much to Meyrin's confusion.

Message from Meer[]

Meyrin accompanied Athrun, Lacus Clyne, and Kira Yamato on a fact-finding mission into Copernicus City disguised as a shopping trip. While there, Lacus received a desperate message from Meer Campbell, Lacus' impersonator. While Meyrin and Athrun both suspected it is a trap, Lacus insistd on going anyway.

At the meeting, they were attacked by several men led by Meer's bodyguard, Sarah. Athrun dealt with most of the attackers while Meyrin and Kira protected Lacus and Meer, at one point even managing to shoot a grenade that was intended for Lacus out of mid-air back at Sarah. Meer was mortally wounded by a bullet intended for Lacus, but Meyrin and the others were left unharmed. Meyrin joined the Archangel crew in their impromptu funeral for Meer and then she, Athrun, Kira, and Lacus read Meer's diary. (However, in Gundam SEED Destiny: The Edge, Meyrin is absent in during the trip and is, instead, replaced by the three DOM trooper pilots.)

The Second War's Ending[]

Meyrin was then assigned as the CIC officer of the FFMH-Y101 Eternal, the same post she previously held on the Minerva. During the Battle of Messiah, Meyrin communicated with her sister Lunamaria, as she was about to fire on the FFMH-Y101 Eternal, and persuaded her to stop her attack on the ship. Lunamaria was surprised to find that her sister was still alive and though she still thought Athrun had deceived Meyrin, Lunamaria didn't attack the FFMH-Y101 Eternal.

After the war, Meyrin, along with Luna, Shinn, and Athrun visited the Onogoro Island memorial for the fallen in Orb, where they were later joined by Kira and Lacus. Meyrin and Athrun appeared to have made peace with Lunamaria and Shinn, and the two left together with her trailing behind Athrun, and Shinn and Luna tailing behind them. Afterwards, Meyrin returned to the PLANTs with Lunamaria and Shinn, and rejoined ZAFT. The three were seen traveling to the PLANT Supreme Council along with a now Orb Commander Athrun Zala, to escort the now ZAFT Commander, Kira Yamato to see PLANT's new Chairwoman, Lacus Clyne.[6]

Foundation Conflict[]

A year after the Second Alliance-PLANT War (CE 75), Meyrin joined Compass and teamed up with Athrun once again. She was given a Cavalier Aifrid to support Athrun in his infiltration missions. During the joint mission between Compass, Eurasia, and Foundation, both Athrun and Meyrin infiltrated the Kingdom of Foundation to investigate their background. They learned Foundation is not as peaceful as presumed; local soldiers are killing civilians that challenge their governance.

When the Black Knight Squad betrayed Compass, destroyed the Archangel, and nearly killing Commodore Kira Yamato in battle, Meyrin went to rescue the surviving crew members of the Archangel and assist Athrun in rescuing Kira. They arrived just in time as the nuclear missiles the Black Knights unleashed are coming form them; Meyrin collected Athrun's Z'Gok and quickly submerged underwater to avert the nuclear blast.

After making it to Akatsuki Island, they arrived in the hidden underwater base where the Archangel team recover and discuss the next step in things. While discussing about Foundation and the Accords, Foundation used Requiem and fired upon Moscow in retaliation for the destruction of their kingdom; it was a false flag operation. After Orphee Lam Tao finished his speech about following Foundation and accepting the Destiny Plan, Athrun resumed discussions about the capabilities of the Accords and suspect they can also manipulate a person's mind.

After they hijacked the Millennium, she piloted the Cavalier Alfrid with Kira and Athrun as they went to free Lacus. Before leaving, Kira entrusted Shinn with protecting the Millennium, and Meyrin approved of how Kira handled Shinn. She infiltrated Artemis and closed all the bulkheads after the crew gained access to the system. After Kira rescued Lacus, Meyrin took her onboard the Cavalier Alfrid and delivered her to the Millennium. When as Lacus launched in the Proud Defender to support Kira, Meyrin followed her with Athrun and his Z'Gok in tow. She dropped Athrun off at the battlefield, where he protected Kira from Shura Serpentine and engaged the latter in battle.[7]

Relationships[]

Lunamaria Hawke[]

They are sisters and Meyrin loves her sister greatly, they had a bit of a romantic rivalry as they both had a crush on Athrun, When Meyrin left with Athrun Luna was devastated, but during the final battle with Chairman Gilbert Durandal Meyrin contacted Luna by a encrypted com-link and begged her sister to stop fighting Athrun and that they were the good guys and Durandal was the villain. After the events of Seed Destiny Lunar allowed Meyrin to leave with Athrun to form their own unit.

Athrun Zala[]

Meyrin had a crush on Athrun, she would blush around him much to her sisters annoyance, When Athrun was targeted by Durandal forces Meyrin helped him escape by hiding him in her bathroom and then answered her door in a towel getting the guards flustered and Luna angry at the guards for trying to break the door down on her little sister, Athrun saved Meyrin from Rey and Shinn but it resulted in them both getting injured. After they had recovered Athrun offered Meyrin protection somewhere else but Meyrine hugged Athrun and begged him not to abandon her, Kira then assured Athrun that they all would keep her safe. After the final battle against Durandal forces Meyrin and Athrun had formed their own black ops group called Terminal, they seem to have a good friendship as Meyrin freely calls Athrun out when he is being irrational as seen when he complained about Lacus launching and Meyrin told him to get over it and let Lacus help to which Athrun reluctantly agreed to.

Cagalli Yula Athha[]

Meyrin knows that Cagalli is Athrun's lover but Cagalli has entrusted Meyrin with Keeping Athrun safe when she isn't around.
