Chibodee Gals

The Chibodee Gals are supporting characters of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. They are four gorgeous young women who serve as Chibodee Crocket's support crew and cheering squad. Janet Smith and team leader Shirley Lane serve as mechanics, Cath Rotary is Chibodee's personal physician, and bespectacled troublemaker Bunny Higgins takes care of communications, intelligence gathering, and general sneaking around.
==Personality==
The girls are extremely loyal and helpful to Chibodee in return for saving them from being punished for trying to stowaway on the shuttle leading to the Neo America space colony some time prior. Whenever he is having a moment of frustration or demoralization, they attempt to help console and help him, which usually either works or fails, depending on the situation. Their loyalty to Chibodee is so strong, they even provide morale boosting to him by singing his mother's lullaby to him, the patriotic American song, "America the Beautiful", when struggling against Neo Portugal's Romario Monini, who was using Chibodee's phobia of clowns against him to beat him in their match.
==Appearance==
The girls are normally seen wearing identical pink business suits, but they each wear a different colored tie to tell them apart: Janet has a yellow one, Shirley has a green one, Cath has a red one, and Bunny has a blue one. When first seen with Chibodee in Episode 2, they wear identical red swimsuits with red shoes and white opera gloves that go just above their elbows, but each one has a different colored stripe across their swimsuit: Bunny's is white, Shirley's is pink, Janet's is blue, and Cath's is yellow.
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Formerly members of a New York City street gang, they were rescued from Neo America's police by the handsome colony boxing champion, and decided to repay the favor by becoming his loyal helpmates.
When first seen in Episode 2, Chibodee is preparing for a title boxing match at Madison Square Garden. When his superiors from the Neo America Department of Defense voice their concerns about him needing extra security, Chibodee assures them that the girls are all the protection he needs, much to the superiors' chagrin. However, when Chibodee arrives for his match, he barely enters the ring before his opponent delivers a cheap shot to him, to the girls' horror. Chibodee's opponent is then revealed to have been replaced by Neo Japan's Domon Kasshu, who challenges Chibodee to a Gundam Fight, before being forced to flee, but not before Chibodee manages to injure him in the ribs with a retaliatory strike. As Chibodee splinters a table clean in half in fury over the humiliation he just suffered back in his apartment, while Cath, Janet, and Shirley recoil in fear, Bunny tries to calm him down, but Chibodee is in no mood to calm down, and orders Bunny to find Domon and tell him he accepts his challenge. However, after changing into her regular outfit from her swimsuit, Bunny is ambushed by Chibodee's superiors and hypnotized, being sent to give Domon false directions so the Neo American forces could take out Domon themselves. Cath, Shirley, and Janet, still in their swimsuits, are with Chibodee at Yankee Stadium, when they discover what happened, and are warned by Rain Mikamura of the situation Domon was in. Furious at what his superiors did, Chibodee goes to help Domon and kill all the Neo American troops attacking Domon, before giving Domon his Gundam Fight. Though Chibodee loses, Domon spares finishing off his Gundam Maxter upon seeing the hope he brings to the people of NYC, and Bunny is aided by Shirley, Cath, and Janet, as Bunny was still recovering from her hypnosis.
The girls don't reappear until Domon and Rain have returned to Shinjuku in Tokyo to help protect it from attacks by the Devil Army, the forces of the Devil Gundam. When Rain follows Master Asia into the old subway, she is lured to a room where she finds Janet, Cath, Shirley, and Bunny in pods, alongside Zuizen and Keiun, Raymond Bishop, and Nastasha Zabigov, and frees them before they can be infected with Devil Gundam (DG) Cells and turned into Zombie Soldiers for the Devil Army. When they get back topside, the girls are horrified to find Chibodee already infected and fighting Domon alongside George, Sai Saici, and Argo. Thankfully, the Shuffle Alliance arrives to aid Domon and force Master Asia and the infected fighters into retreat for the moment. Later, the Shuffle Alliance sacrifice themselves to purge Chibodee and the other infected fighters of their DG Cells and pass their Shuffle Crests onto them, making Chibodee the new Queen of Spades. After the Devil Gundam reappears and Domon unintentionally heals it, allowing it and Master Asia to escape, Chibodee and the girls return to NYC, but haunted by the atrocities he had or would've committed as a slave of the Devil Gundam, Chibodee becomes a drunk recluse, losing his morale and reason to fight in the Gundam Fight. Hoping to help him, the girls head to the Guiana Highlands to steal the data on the Shining Gundam in hopes of giving Chibodee an edge against Domon. However, when a flood threatens the girls and Rain, Domon and Chibodee work together to save them, and Chibodee destroys the disk they put the data on, vowing to fight Domon honorably and not through underhanded tactics or cheating, thus restoring his morale and fighting spirit as the girls intended. They stay with Domon, Rain, and the other Shuffle Alliance members and their crews until the Devil Gundam attacks in the final days before the Gundam Fight Finals are to start in Neo Hong Kong. Chibodee and the girls escape with the other members, but Domon stays behind to fight the Devil Gundam and Master Asia. However, thanks to being sent the God Gundam (Burning Gundam in the English dub), Domon defeats the Devil Gundam and Master Asia, and makes it to Neo Hong Kong barely before he would've been disqualified.
The girls continue to support Chibodee during the Gundam Fight Finals, especially when Chibodee is paired against Neo Portugal's Romario Monini, who uses Chibodee's phobia of clowns from his childhood to his advantage, nearly pushing Chibodee into a total catatonic state from his fear, before the girls, with Rain's encouragement, sing "America the Beautiful" to Chibodee, restoring his spirit, and allowing him to defeat Romario.
When Chibodee departs for the Battle Royale on Lantau Island, the girls remain on their boat, until it is swamped by the tidal wave caused by the Devil Gundam's reappearance. They are rescued, along with the other support crew members, and watch the fight between Sai and Argo against Michelo Chariot and his Neros Gundam/Gundam Heaven's Sword. They later travel to Lantau Island, but can't proceed further in due to the barrier sealing off the island. As the girls analyze it, Rain and Schwarz Bruder use the Rising Gundam and Gundam Spiegel (Shadow Gundam in the English dub) to create a gap for someone to crawl through to reach the generator and destroy it. While Cath, Shirley, Bunny, and Janet are too tall to attempt it themselves, Princess Maria Louise offers to do it as she's the smallest of them, and does so successfully. With the barrier down, the girls and the other support crews head onto the island, and discover the fates of their Gundam Fighters after they were able to defeat two of the Four Heavenly Kings in Michelo and Gentle Chapman in the Neros Gundam/Gundam Heaven's Sword and John Bull Gundam/Grand Gundam. The girls find an unconscious Chibodee and drape the flag of Neo America over him, fearing he died to stop Chapman alongside George. However, Chibodee and George, along with Sai and Argo, survive and recover from their wounds, and they all arrive in time to watch Domon's final battle with Master Asia, ending with when Domon defeats and destroys the Master Gundam, before sharing a final reconciliatory moment with Master Asia, reciting the litany of the School of the Undefeated of the East one more time before Master Asia succumbs to his terminal illness and wounds and dies in Domon's arms, much to his heartbreak and grief.
After Gundam Maxter is repaired, alongside Gundam Rose, Dragon Gundam, and Bolt Gundam, with Nastasha providing Argo's old ship, the Gorby II, as transport, the girls, along with the other Shuffle Alliance support teams, head into space to help stop Major Ulube from using Rain and the Devil Gundam to take over the Earth after breaking the ceasefire agreement between the United Colony Federation reinforced by the Gundam Fights, and turning the Neo Japan space colony into the Colony Devil Gundam. While Janet, Cath, Shirley, and Bunny provide logistical support from the Gorby II, aided by Allenby, Kyral, and the other Gundam mobile suits, Chibodee and the other Shuffle Alliance members breach the colony and are able to defeat Ulube in the Grand Master Gundam, before Domon sets off to find Rain, finding her in the core of the Devil Gundam, attempting to push Domon away as she fears she can't face him after learning the truth that her father betrayed the Kasshus to Ulube, and his sins were hers as well as the Mikamura name was tarnished. Encouraged by Allenby, Chibodee, and the others, Domon assures Rain he doesn't blame her for her father's actions against his family, and as Janet, Shirley, Cath, Bunny, and the others listen in, Domon professes his love for Rain. Hearing that, Rain becomes so emotionally overjoyed, she is able to break free of the Devil Gundam and reunite with Domon. When the Devil Gundam attempts to take her back, entering a feral state after losing her, Domon and Rain see to its end once and for all. Chibodee escapes with the other Shuffle Alliance members, but fear Domon and Rain didn't make it. However, they soon emerge unharmed on Fuunsaiki, Master Asia's noble steed he entrusted to Domon posthumously, and together, everyone returns to Earth, with Cath, Shirley, Bunny, and Janet riding back aboard Gundam Maxter with Chibodee.
