Relena Peacecraft

[Azrael]

Name: Relena Peacecraft
Alias: Relena Darlian 
Mobile Suit: None
Alliance: Sanq Kingdom

Relena first appears as the daughter of the Alliance's Vice Foreign Minister. When he is called away to work at the beginning of the series, Relena must go home alone, setting up her encounter with Heero Yuy, who had washed ashore on the beach near the spaceport. Her encounter with the mysterious Gundam pilot spurs the young girl to learn more about him, despite his threats towards her. While visiting a colony with her father, Mr. Darlian is killed by Lady Une; as he dies, he reveals that Relena is actually the daughter of the Peacecrafts, the leaders of the fallen pacifist Sanc Kingdom. During a fight between Heero and Zechs Merquise, Relena discovers from Lucrezia Noin that Zechs is her older brother. Soon afterward, Relena assumes her birthright and restores the Sanc Kingdom according to her family's ideals, opening the nation's borders as a neutral haven to those who wish to escape the growing war. Since Romefeller regards the nation's pacifist stance as a threat, it begins to focus most of its military attention on the Sanc Kingdom, particularly after Heero and Quatre arrive, seeking sanctuary from OZ assassins. With another invasion threatening to destroy the kingdom, Relena surrenders to protect her people, and formally dissolves the nation. At Dorothy Catalonia's urging, Relena accepts Duke Dermail's offer to become the public face of Romefeller, and she is formally declared Queen of the World. Though this was merely meant to be a public relations move, Relena garners most of Romefeller's support from Duke Dermail, who had intended to use Relena as a figurehead. When her brother (who now goes by his true name of Milliardo Peacecraft) appears as the leader of White Fang, Treize Khushrenada dismisses Relena from her position because, he reasons, now that she has laid the foundation for peace, he will provide the military might required to bring it to fruition. Freed from her responsibility, Relena goes to space, where she and Heero unsuccessfully attempt to reason with Milliardo and dissuade him from escalating the war. After the war, Relena becomes the Vice Foreign Minister of the newly formed Earth Sphere Unified Nation and assumes her adopted father's surname again. She spearheads the creation of the Preventer Organization and disarmament talks as an influential, high-ranking official. Relena is kidnapped by Dekim Barton, who intends to use her symbolic power to ensure Mariemaia's dominance, but instead Relena encourages the citizens to rebel and take action themselves to ensure peace. After Dekim's defeat and the end of mobile suit warfare, Relena moves on to her next project, the terraformation of Mars. From early on, it is made plain that Relena is in love with Heero. She has since made amends with her brother and chose to assist him in restoring the Sanq Kingdom, also working as ambassador and princess of the kingdom. Her plans concerning the terraformation of Mars are left in the hands of other individuals. After her brother declared Sanq Kingom neutral territory and chose to become Zechs Merquis, she assumed position as Heiress of the Kingdom and is also an ambassador of peace for her nation.
