“ | Listen to you, sounding so haughty! But tell me this! What does "the reformation of humanity" refer to?! Tell me! How have Spacenoids changed? How are they different from Earthnoids?! Why is it that man mustn't continue living on Earth?! You can't answer! As if you could ever understand! | ” |
—Roselucia Deikun, Blue-Eyed Casval |
Roselucia Deikun (ローゼルシア・ダイクン?) is a character from the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga and its anime adaptation. She was the legal wife of Zeon Zum Deikun.
History[]
Ever since Deikun was a mere street activist, Roselucia has sympathized with his ideas and given him both material and moral support, becoming a fanatical follower of his ideals. Shortly after Deikun took center stage in Munzo's government, she withdrew from the front lines due to illness, which also left her unable to bear children. Despite Deikun finding love in another woman, a bar singer named Astraia, she remained fanatically loyal to him, remaining quiet as Astraia became publicly recognized as Deikun's wife and the one to bear his children.
“ | When we were young, we would often gather around Deikun to debate. How I miss those days...I did everything that Deikun asked me! The only thing I could not do was give him children! But what of it?! Only children! Just because I couldn't give him children! Why did I have to lose out to a whore like you!? | ” |
—Roselucia's breakdown, Blue-Eyed Casval |
After Deikun's untimely death, there was nothing left holding back Roselucia's spite towards Astraia, whom Deikun seemingly loved more than her despite the singer's lack of investment in his ideology. Roselucia used her position as Deikun's legal wife to place her under house arrest, where she would be separated from her children and left to spend the rest of her days alone. Though she had her vengeance, Roselucia would pass away several years later.
