Lozaria

Lozaria (ロザリア) is a major character of the anime series Voltes V. She is the first wife of Prince Gohl and the mother of Prince Heinel. While she is deceased, her actions had a huge impact on the events of the show.
She was voiced by Keiko Yokozawa.
==Personality==
Lozaria was kind-hearted and sweet, and never held hatred for anyone in her heart, not even after her husband revealed that he was secretly a hornless Boazanian. She believed that society should be indiscriminate in how it treated people, in a stark contrast to the man her son would grow up to be.
When Zambajil humiliated her husband in front of everyone by exposing his secret to the public, Lozaria was aghast and covered her eyes.
==History==
Lozaria was engaged to Prince Gohl. On their honeymoon, he revealed his secret to Lozaria - that he was hornless. Under the law of Boazania, this would mean he would be enslaved, as only Boazanians with horns on their head were allowed to become nobles. Lozaria, while shocked at first, told him she loved him anyway. After they embraced, Gohl told Lozaria of his dream for an equal society with no more slavery.
When the 123rd Emperor of Boazania died, a succession crisis occured because his only child was mentally disabled, therefore unfit to rule. Next in line to the throne was Gohl. However, the son of the Emperor and his concubine, Zambajil, had been eyeing the throne for a long time. Before the coronation event, Zambajil's subordinates began looking for ways to incriminate Gohl so that he wouldn't be able to become King. They tortured the doctor that delivered him, who confessed that Gohl was Hornless.
Zambajil interrupted the coronation event and pulled off Gohl's horns in public, exposing him as a Hornless Boazanian. The onlookers gasped upon finding out that he had been hiding his true nature from them, while Lozaria covered her eyes. Gohl was then thrown in prison, while Lozaria was exiled from the palace. Fearing Zambajil's wrath, she fled to the countryside with her parents, preparing to raise her son with them. Since Gohl was in jail, she was unable to tell him that she was pregnant with his child. Lozaria then died in childbirth after delivering a boy.
Gohl, who at this point was enslaved, didn't know Lozaria had died until news spread that she died in childbirth. He begged his overseers to at least let him buy flowers for her grave, but was abused in return. Gohl, now enraged, began inciting slave rebellions. Using his skill in science and technology, he began creating weapons that the slaves would use to attempt to overthrow Zambajil. However, they were unsuccessful each time.
Gohl was urged by his fellow slaves to flee Boazania for his own good. He initially refused, but they stated that he was their final hope for a future free of slavery and he was too valuable to die given his intelligence. They managed to safeguard a ship for his travel and shielded him with their bodies as the Boazanian Empire's forces opened fire on them. A frenzied Gohl hurried into the ship and flew as far as he could, far away from Boazania. He eventually landed on Earth.
After Lozaria's death, Heinel was raised by his maternal grandparents. According to Heinel, they were only people in his life who ever showed him genuine love. They never told him about his father because of the shame attached to his name for being a "traitor". However, he was given a dagger by her before her death, that had twin doves on it.
In episode 40, vowing revenge for Katherine's death, Heinel prays to the statue of the Boazanian hero Godol. To prove his "purity of intent" to him, Heinel jumps into the flames. As he plunges, he lands in a cockpit, and realizes that the statue was actually a giant mecha, and an automated message plays saying that he grants his power to anyone who wishes to defend Boazania. Heinel then locates Voltes V and engages in a battle. They fight and Voltes V topples over Godol, with Heinel exiting in afterwards. The Voltes team are shocked to discover that Heinel was the one who had been piloting it. Heinel then tosses a sword at Kenichi and challenges him to a fight, despite Kenichi telling him the fight is pointless. The two engage in a swordfight, and Kenichi knocks the sword out of his hand. However, Heinel yells that the fight isn't over yet and pulls out a dagger. 
Kentaro instantly recognizes the dagger and asks Heinel where he got it, to which Heinel responds by saying that it doesn't matter and he can't distract him. However, he does say that it is the dagger his mother gave him before she died.
Kentaro then says it does matter because it is the dagger he gave to his first wife, and says it has twin doves on it. Horrified, Heinel looks at the dagger, notices the twin doves, and realizes that Kentaro is right. He realizesthat Kentaro is Prince Gohl, his father. He feels ashamed that he had been participated in a meaningless war against his family.
Just then Zambajil appears, having tried to escape with a wagonload of riches and a grenade. Once he realizes that he is cornered, he attempts to shift the blame to Heinel, saying that the earthlings should hate him since it was his idea to invade Earth (even though it wasn't). Angered, Heinel yells "What?! I thought you were on the side of good, but you're just a materialistic bastard! DIE!!!" and flings the dagger at him, killing Zambajil. Unfortunately, Zambajil accidentally drops the grenade in the process, causing it to explode and engulf the castle in flames, killing him. Heinel then saves Kenichi from the fire and willingly accepts his death, but not before biding a farewell to his newfound family, despite Kenichi screaming "brother" at him and trying to save him. Kentaro, while crying, also acknowledges Heinel as his son before the flames swallow him whole, while Heinel calls him "father".
==Relationships==
===Gohl===
Lozaria was Gohl's first wife. She and Gohl loved each other very much. When Lozaria assured him that she would love him despite his lack of horns, they embraced, Gohl told her of his dream to one day see a society where both horned and hornless Boazanians would live together in peace. Shortly after they married, Lozaria gave birth to a baby boy, Heinel. Unfortunately, as Gohl was imprisoned at the time, he never got to meet his firstborn son only found out about him after hearing that Lozaria died in childbirth. He didn't make the connection that Heinel was his son until Heinel produced a dagger his mother had given him, which Gohl recognized as the one he had given to Lozaria as a gift.
===Heinel===
Lozaria died giving birth to Heinel. However, she gave him something to remember her with, a dagger gifted to her by Prince Gohl with twin doves on it. Heinel keeps it with him at all times.
