Milia Fallyna

Milia is an ace pilot, a female of the giant race of warriors known as the Zentradi (Meltlandi in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?). Serving on board an all-female ship, she joined Commander Vrlitwhai Kridanik's investigation of the "micrones" of Earth, and their spacecraft, the SDF-1 Macross. After being beaten in a pitched battle against the human pilot Maximilian Jenius, she volunteered for micloning and, reduced to human size, infiltrated the Macross. Rather than espionage, her real aim was to find and kill the man who had humiliated her, but when he defeated her in a knife fight and yet would not harm her, she realised that the emotion he had awoken in her was not hate, but love.

After defecting to the Macross and marrying Max, Milia was allowed to become a member of the UN Spacy in her own right and piloted a red-painted VF-1J Valkyrie Fighter into battle thereafter as her husband's wingmate. However, caring for her own people, she convinced Max and the other pilots to capture, rather than kill, their Zentradi opponents. This deed actually saved the ship during an all out attack by her race to destroy the ship as it, among other events, led to mutiny in the Zentradi forces severe enough for Commander Vrlitwhai to call a cease fire.

The birth of her first child was another profoundly moving event for her when the artificially gestated woman realized that she created life with her own body. In the original Macross series, Milia is a very prolific mother, and she and Max together have seven natural daughters and adopt a Zentradi girl over a period of twenty years from 2011 to 2030, the oldest being Komilia Maria Fallyna and the youngest being Mylene Flare. Her second pregnancy was apparently very difficult and nearly killed her. In Macross 7 Milia sports a new short hairdo rather than her original long hair in Macross. Like Max, she doesn't seem to have aged.
