Recently returned from the Nadesico’s untimely mission to Mars, the tomboyish Ryoko Subaru is their lead Aestivalis pilot. Originally up on their initial journey to Mars during a Jovian assault on the Satsuki Midori 2 colony along with her fellow pilots Izumi Maki and Hikaru Amano; the trio create an eclectic pilot wing that fit well with the quirky blend of ‘difficult’ personalities that encompass the Nadesico crew. A tough and abrasive person at first blush, that outward shell is in truth a thin veneer as she cares for the crew of the Nadesico a great deal. Perhaps she regards the ship’s mission as the best chance she has for finding that first star within herself, that she’s been searching for her whole life. Should the answer she discovers be that there is no star, and that she’s only good at fighting, and killing – what’s left for her?

Background

Born on March 24, 0077 in the Midori Satsuki 2 Colony - a Nergal Corporate Colony patterned loosely on the design of Green Noa 2, Ryoko Subaru had a normal childhood. Deciding school wasn't for her, she dropped out and signed up for Nergal's Aestivalis program in her teens, where she was injected with the Nanomachines for the Image Feedback System. She's been piloting ever since, having joined up with fellow Aesti pilots Izumi Maki and Hikaru Amano. When the Nadesico was en route to Mars, Midori Satsuki was destroyed by the Jovian Lizards, resulting in the deaths of nearly everyone in the Colony. The 'Three Angels', however, survived and linked up with the Nadesico's crew, joining them on their mission to Mars.

That's all that's in her personnel file, but is that truly the whole story?

Relationships

Nadesico Crew

Akito Tenkawa: Her Crush, but she doesn't truly have a shot at catching his eye, does she?
Izumi Maki: Her puns drive her up the wall and make her want to shove her into a box, but there's noone she'd trust more to watch her back.
Hikaru Amano: Another gag!? Ryoko knows there's way more to Hikaru than meets the eye, too bad most people will never see it.
Yurika Misumaru: At first she didn't know what to make of her, with her oddball way of leading. Now, however, she wouldn't really want anyone else as her Captain.
Ruri Hoshino: Damnit, I really messed up here. She's just a kid being taken advantage of by Nergal, I don't want the past to repeat itself.
Lucine Azul: Ryoko likes her, though she gets the feeling there's more to her than she sees on the surface. However, she did commit the cardinal sin of comparing her to Izumi, so minus points for that.

Others

Shelby Korts: Whoever it was in that Jagd Doga, hope you're doing well. Almost feels like... nah, couldn't be.
Suberoa Zinnerman: Mind your own damn business! It's just a case of mistaken identity and NOTHING else!
Callisto Diana: You must have gone through hell to get to where you are now. Pretty inspirational really. You'll be better off though staying away so I don't muck it up for you.
Riika Sheder: Glad you got out before the Feds could actually put you in the hole. Being called upon the Federation to fight your people is the worst part of this whole thing.
Eight York: This always happens. I run my mouth and end up regretting it.
Yuliana Dispersal: Wow you're a real piece of work aren't you? No surprise you're what the REA considers an Ace Wanzer Pilot.
Himeyuri Oono: Yeah I'm a woman! What of it? Why's the Captain of a ZAFT ship talking like some Doe-Eyed Ingenue?
Michiru Tenjou: While I had to take my eyes off it, no chance I didn't win our competition. Though why's your Unit have a GRAVITY BLAST cannon? Geez, no way Coordinator science works that quick, right?
Bunny Man: While I'm grateful you got Riika out, next time I see you I'll definitely thrash you anyway. You broke my nose you jerk!

Off the Record

???: Her Ex-Crush. May he burn in hell.
???: Just a kid. Someone saw her star, and decided they'd pluck it out for themselves. Rest in Peace.
Rio Subaru: I really let you down didn't I? Some daughter I turned out to be.
Honoka Subaru: Wish you were still here. Wonder how I might have turned out if I'd never lost you, if I'd only had more time with you. Thought I was trying to do right by your memory but... I made the wrong call, and I can't take it back.
