When the Zeon heirarchy needs someone do some dirty work behind the scenes or to protect Granada, they often turn to Kycilia Zabi (sometimes called Kashiria, especially in Gundam 0083), the only daughter of Degwin Sodo Zabi. A bit later in the One Year War, she ends up in charge of establishing the Newtype Corps and conducts tests on exerimental armors and suits like the MAN-03 Braw Bro, MAN-08 Elmeth, and the MSN-02 Zeong. However, the Zabis are as dysfuntional as any family can come and soon...you see the surviving children; Dozle, Gihren, and Kycilia scheming against each other. After Solomon...Gihren, ambitious as ever, decides to commit patricide by blasing Degwin with the Solar Ray colony laser. Unfortunately, as the Battle of A Bao A Qu starts...he had a bad slip of the tongue in front of Kycilia, and she isn't happy. Judging by her stance, I think he's going to get clawed, then punched...then swing that gun hanging from her belt and finish the job.

IMHO, Kycilia is one of the most dangerous redheads in Science Fiction (alongside Natasi Daala, known for gassing 13 warlords, wiping out colonies and trying her best to live up to Wilhuff Tarkin...yet still ends up Chief of State of the GA).

And so...A-Virus series #2, Rear Admiral Kycilia Zabi
