Energetic and warm, Licia Chovan easily conceals a thoughtful and contemplative nature with a cheerful demeanor. While for a while she was used to being disliked--and can still fall back on retreating kinds of behavior--the time since she was a pilot for Neo Zeon seems a lot longer ago now, and gives her a lot less trouble in the Magallanica Defense Force than it did in Londo Bell and the Federation. She doesn't have to deal with NUNE as much in her personal life--and she prefers it that way. She's a talented pilot in a mobile suit or at the helm of a ship, and she believes not just in her own ideals anymore but her friend the Admiral Orlodhari's. A better future for Zeon and the Earth Sphere seems to be on the horizon, and she believes that with her Captain Rezza, she can help to seize it.
Background
- 0074: Born to a young pilot for Zeon.
- 0077: Her mother deploys to Side 6 to protect its independence.
- 0079-0080: the One Year War. Licia's mother dies in the fighting. She is five. Her father survives, a civilian teacher.
- 0083: Chovan's family is not part of the Delaz fleet. They are in Zum City; Chovan's father gets a job at a wealthy private school, which insulates the Chovan family somewhat from economic troubles.
- 0087: Chovan's father mostly tries to keep the family out of the return to Axis Zeon, but as a teacher in some of the private schools of the higher-ups' children, he cannot entirely avoid being entangled.
- 0088-0089: Neo Zeon reforms and is defeated by 0089. At this point, Licia is 15, and attending some of these schools herself.
- 0091: Surprising her father, Licia signs up for the military. She is 18 years old.
- 0093: Neo-Zeon enters a war footing. Licia is 20 years old. She has been preparing to fight for the independence of her home, seeing no better opportunity--but when Char Aznable tries to drop Axis on the Earth, she is one of the Neo-Zeon pilots to try to stop it in the end, hoping for a miracle. In the aftermath of the battle she defects to Londo Bell.
- 0094: Captain Zaress Ulyse takes a chance on Licia, requesting her assignment to the Ra Mari, not as a mobile suit pilot, but as a crewman. She becomes one of the best ship pilots in Londo Bell, but rarely gets the opportunity to show off her skills.
- 0095: As Eight York takes command of the heavily damaged Ra Mari, Licia Chovan acts as helmswoman, making a clear difference in the battle against the kaiju at Winter Wonderland and proving herself a valuable member of the crew. Her promotion sees her placed in a regular spot at the helm of her ship.
- 0097: Defects from the Federation with Captain York and crew. Begins to serve on the Ra Mari II as part of the Three Ships Alliance.
- 0098: Aligns with the Magallanica Defense Force, accepting a promotion and a posting as Enba Rezza's XO on the 'Uzume'.
- 0099: Mostly action against pirates and other lawless elements in Side 3. No notable actions as yet.
Resources
Licia Chovan's resources are all tied up in what was the Three Ships Alliance and now the Magallanica efense Force. Her father was wealthy at a point, and she still has some contacts from her days in Axis Zeon, but turned her back on all of that to join Londo Bell. She has gained much more trust and confidence in the 3SA and now the MDF. She can speak with the Captain's voice on the 'Uzume', and is in control of most of what happens on the ship these days.
She might've been in a movie!

"Whatever you call yourself, I'll be there... Admiral. It sucks that I don't get to see her as often, but I make the time on leave!" |
| Enba Rezza | Terminal |

"They're my favorite! I love their secret sides, and it's always hilarious to watch them completely fail to crack. I might have to stick with this one... Oh, and, great boss or whatever." |
| Lavnadim Orlodhari | 3SA |

"He's one of my best friends. He doesn't hold the past against anybody--he says his parents taught him not to, and I think they did pretty well by him if they taught him stuff like that. And there's nobody I'd rather see making Eight happy!" |
