Reki Michihi

**Reki Michihi** (レキ・ミチヒ,, *Reki Michihi*?) is a secondary supporting character in the 86 -Eighty Six- series introduced in Under Pressure.

Her Personal Name is **Hualien** (ファリアン,, *Farian*?).

She is the captain of the 1st Armored Group's Lycaon Squadron.

## Appearance

Reki Michihi is a petite young Orienta woman, being roughly only a head taller than Frederica. She has an ivory skin tone along with dark-black hair and eyes.

## Personality

Michihi is described as being quiet and sincere. Despite not being as talkative as some of her fellow Strike Package officers, Michihi still takes an interest in the lives around her. She was seen discussing the progress of Lena and Shin's relationship with the other 1st Armored Group officer girls. After Dustin interrupted Lena and Shin during the trip to Mount Wyrmrest, she and Shana scolded him thoroughly. In the aftermath of the battle with the Noctiluca, she was discussing Theo's prosthetic options with the other 1st Armored Division officers, bringing up the Alliance's nerve-coupling system.

She also seems to be fond of helping out her friends and comrades, preserving the Reginleifs to keep them functioning longer during the Revich siege and gladly relaying the cold preservation techniques to Shin afterwards. Furthermore, she seems to dislike it when her squadmates coddle her, displeased when Shin was overconcerned for her and told her to let the Phönix through the blockade if it was too difficult for her to handle, citing that she was a Name Bearer too. During the Mirage Spire Operation briefing, she showed visible dissatisfaction at being left behind as a mobile defense force on land while her comrades joined the attack force at sea. During the betrayal of the Theocracy's 3rd Army Corps, she was horrified to learn that the Lyano-Shu she destroyed were piloted by young Teshat children. Much like the other Eighty-Six, Michihi had never engaged in human vs human warfare.

## Background

Reki Michihi was stationed in the Republic's Northern Front prior to joining the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package.

## Abilities

Reki Michihi was a veteran Processor who survived the years of hellish combats within the Eighty Six Sector. Her usual combat style is aiming at the legs of the Legion units first. Based on her Reginleif armament and roles during operations, she appears to specialize in fire suppression, support and interception.

Being from the Northern Front, Michihi was used to fighting and conducting operations in the snow. During the Siege of Revich, she and other Processors from the North initiated countermeasures to preserve the Strike Package's Reginleifs for extended operability in the frosted environmental conditions. Being a squadron commander, she had some knowledge on ground tactics and suggested on focusing on the enemy's heavily armored units rather than split their forces during the Revich siege.

## Relationships

### Yuuto Crow

She seems to have a rather good relationship with Crow as they paired up during the trip to Mount Wyrmrest. She was seen discussing the Reginleifs' dance routine in the Rüstkammer Base Armored Weapons Hangar with him and Rito in preparation for the party to celebrate the end of their deployment in the United Kingdom.

### Rito Oriya

Their units are frequently deployed together during operations, likely because their fighting styles are compatible, Hualien being a fire-suppression unit while Rito fights in close-quarters. They sometimes converse and make sarcastic remarks on the battlefield. She was seen discussing the Reginleifs' dance routine in the Rüstkammer Base Armored Weapons Hangar with him and Yuuto in preparation for the party to celebrate the end of their deployment in the United Kingdom.

### Frederica Rosenfort

Like many of her fellow Eighty-Six, Michihi liked to pamper Frederica. She tied Frederica's hair into twin tails before the latter started baking cookies.

### Richard Altner

Richard's is Michihi's adopted father. She was adopted as all nobles were required to adopt Eighty-Six for their rehabilitation and integration into Giadan society for better postwar opportunities. His family provided her with a dress for the ball during their vacation in the Alliance of Wald. The extent of their personal relationship is unknown but she appeared to be saddened when he died.

### Richard's wife

Richard's wife is Michihi's adopted mother. The extent of their personal relationship is unknown though it is noted that she liked to dote on younger officers, especially girls as seen by her treatment of Lena and Annette.

## Trivia

* Her clan’s family had a custom of applying a gardenia or jasmine perfume by spraying it in the air during the first night of marriage.
* *Hualien* comes from the Chinese reading of *Karen* (花蓮), supposedly meaning "lotus flower" or "water lily". However, Hualien only refers to the Taiwanese city. The correct way to spell lotus in Chinese is to reverse the characters into *Lienhua* (蓮花).
