Kudelia Aina Bernstein

Kudelia Aina Bernstein is one of the main characters from the Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Oprhans anime.

An idealistic young woman from a rich family, whose impassioned humanitarian arguments for Martian independence have made her a symbol for the movement. She seeks independence for the Martian city of Chryse, and CGS is hired to escort her to Earth for unofficial negotiations.

In the AWA fics, Kudelia is listed as a purchased prisoner from the Slave Fortress.

Appearance
Kudelia has an enormously long blonde hair styled in a hime-cut and has purple eyes.

Kudelia is seen in many outfits throughout the series. Her main outfit is a long red Victorian style dress with a dark grey neck ribbon and brown high boots. When going out or attending meetings for formal occasions she wears a business suit which is a dark navy blazer, white shirt and red tie. She also wears dark navy shorts with high knee socks possibly due to being in Space so if she were to wear a skirt they wont float upwards.

Sometimes when busy in the base and helping others she wears a white shirt with a pair of army fatigues.

Personality
Kudelia is a strong willed, courageous woman who is willing to risk her life to fight for her ideals and protect those precious to her. She has a great love for Mars and its people, causing her to start Mar's bid for independence from Earth. Her sheltered life gave her a somewhat naive perspective about the suffering of the Martian people. It was only after travelling with Tekkadan did she develop a greater worldly understanding of the problems Martians suffered. Throughout her time with Tekkadan, she develops close bonds with the group, especially Mikazuki and Atra. She is very loyal to those who earn her trust, never doubting them and standing by their side.

She is a pacifist by nature, always looking for the best solution with the least bloodshed. She aspires to be a symbol of hope for the people of Mars.

Abilities
She has an excellent academic record, majoring in history and economics. Befitting her title as "The Maiden of Revolution", Kudelia has proven to be a very charismatic orator, capable of pacifying an entire Gjallarhorn fleet through her words alone, a feat that Mikazuki describes as "amazing".

Due to her comfortable upbringing, Kudelia had little to no skills in cooking or other house chores, relying on Fumitan to help her. She improves as she learns how to cook during her time with Tekkadan.
