Saraven Vai is a mobile suit pilot associated with the Sleeves by way of the Mars Zeon Independence Army. Known by the red-baron of the Lilac Gale of Mars, she pilots the AMS-123XS Varguil Complete as part of a Mars Zeon task force operating in the Earth Sphere. She is a potent Newtype, but frequently appears emotionally withdrawn, even in the face of immense danger to her person.
Known background
Saraven's origin is relatively obscure outside of the Mars Sphere, where she first appeared in roughly 0091 as a child pilot of astounding proficiency. Her track record remained unknown in the Earth Sphere until an engagement in 0093, in which Federation records of an intercept of a ship inbound from Mars document a Qubeley with a distinctive lilac shoulder demolishing a squad of crack Londo Bell troops just after the Axis Shock.
In the years following Char's counterattack, Saraven was transferred to the full-spec Varguil, completed by Mars Zeon with the assistance of psycoframe technology. She spent the inter-conflict years tracking down rebellious ex-Titans on the Martian surface amid the havoc caused by the invasian of the Jovian Lizards. By late 0095, however, she would be attached to the Mars Zeon task force dispatched to Earth to assist the Sleeves.
Resources
Saraven is an exceptionally skilled pilot, skills suited to her assignment to the AMX-123XS Varguil Complete. The unit was smuggled to Mars following the Axis Shock and completed to its full specification, removing the older-generation psycommu and replacing it with a next-generation psycoframe cockpit similar to that developed for the Sazabi or Nu Gundam. These modifications enable significantly higher reaction time and performance as well as reliable operation of the Varguil's funnel systems.
Saraven demonstrates highly elevated levels of quantum brainwave activity, likely among the upper percentile of Newtypes. Her neural and emotional activity are unusually flattened, but her foresight, orientation and predictive abilities are highly attuned. She is capable of maneuvering through impossible situations through the sheer strength of her foresight, and can successfully engage large numbers of enemies without losing track of them.
Relationships
Personal
- Miamina Metta: "If I continue to meet her objectives, I know I've succeeded."
The Sleeves
- Full Frontal: "Comets are composed mostly of ice. I... I think that's okay. I feel like I can see him from far away and make sense of him. That's why I can't let him down."
- Suberoa Zinnerman: "He doesn't treat me like the others do. I can feel him there with me... but not in the same way as Dr. Metta. It's...."
- Renato Germi: "If he's content to let me do my duty, his foibles can be tolerated."
- Sakia Davila: "She has such a powerful sense of emotion around her. I don't know how to face it... it's like it wants to wash over me and sweep me away. Maybe that's how she's so good, even in an old Zaku I."
- Trevor Teach: "...I feel like he wanted to pat me on the head...."
Other Allies
- Lily Jung: "I'm not sure why she's like that. It's strange. Not unpleasant."
- Riika Sheder: "The glasses are cute...."
- Serinas Nikoka: "H-how am I supposed to respond to that?"
- Talia Gladys: "She's older than me, a captain, yet I've been at the front longer. Is that normal for Earth Sphere people...?"
Enemies
- Anita Rosetta: "What do... I want for me...? That's not a...."
- Bergh Scred: "He's not the same kind of pilot I am, but he thinks about things in ways that are hard to keep up with. I can't figure out what his real intentions are half the time. It's unnerving."
- Eight York: "She shouldn't... make me think about those things. It's not important."
- Elisa Kafim: "She's awful... I can feel it."
- Ouka Nagisa: "I could feel how ordered her mind is. It felt like she'd done a lot of mind exercises. Is she... like me too...? Maybe the Federation is no different than Zeon...."
- Rena Lancaster: "I wonder what she dreams about. If they're angry dreams."
- Roux Louka: "Zeon isn't using me. This is what I want. What else is there?"
- Sayla Mass: "...Casval...."
Others
- Akane Shinjo: "I've never felt anything like that. She's so loud, but it's so quiet. I have to know why...."
- Banagher Links: "He holds the key to the Box, yet he's as lost as we are, and maybe even as hunted. The Unicorn... it's really terrifying. But I can tell how much he's trying to control it. That's honourable, right?"
- Puru Two: "Storm-petrel... you're not alone, are you...?"
