Cagalli Yula Athha

"Stop running away! It's more a battle to continue living!"

**Cagalli Yula Athha** (カガリ・ユラ・アスハ, *Kagari Yura Asuha*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, Cagalli is the main characters in the **Gundam Heroes** and one main character in the **Mobile Suit Gundam SEED** and**Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny**.

Cagalli the adopted daughter of **Uzumi Nara Athha**, Chief Representative and "Lion" of Orb Union. She is also **Kira Yamato's** twin sister, although neither sibling was aware of this until the First Alliance-PLANT War. Cagalli's birth name is Cagalli Hibiki. She is also well known for piloting the **MBF-02 Strike Rouge** during the First and Second Alliance-PLANT Wars, though she would later pilot the **ORB-01 Akatsuki**, only once to fight against ZAFT in their invasion of Orb and later giving it to **Mu La Flaga**.

## Personality

Although raised as a princess in Orb and taught to be proper, sophisticated, and elegant; Cagalli is far from it, for she has been shown to be quite stubborn, rebellious, masculine, and often free spirited. Cagalli is also shown to dislike being called a princess and when someone calls her one she instantly tells them not to call her that again. Despite rebelling against both her father and her responsibilities as a princess, she is quite loyal to her country and more than willing to give up her life to save it. In Destiny, Cagalli becomes the leader of her country in place of her father. However she is shown to be reluctant in speaking against the pro-Alliance leaders of Orb and had trouble difficulty in handling situations when it involves her country's future. Eventually she discovers that she is a capable leader and both her people and herself regained their trust in her.

## Character Design

Cagalli is of average height and features a blonde bob cut and golden eyes that bounce off.

At Seed, she wears a green vest over a red T-shirt. She wears gray trousers and short green boots underneath. Her hands are wearing brown gloves.

Seed Destiny has increased Cagalli's height a bit. As a politician, Cagalli wears a suit with a white neck blouse, burgundy blazer and trousers.

## Abilities and Equipment

As the ruling Princess of Orb, Cagalli is shown to have competent diplomacy skills when dealing with foreign policy. While fighting with the Desert Dawn in Egypt, it is presumed that she is skilled in basic combat training and the usage of firearms. In MS combat, Cagalli is seen as a decent mid-range combatant, but needed an AI program to assist her during her first sortie with the Strike Rouge. This is ironically in contrast to her lover Athrun Zala, who has a penchant for hand-to-hand MS combat. Although she is a Natural, Cagalli is capable of going into SEED mode in battle like Kira and Athrun, as evidenced when she avenges the deaths of M1 Astray pilots Asagi Caldwell and Juri Wu Nien, by destroying the Strike Daggers that took them out. So far in the Cosmic Era, Cagalli is the only Natural to have gone into SEED mode.

## Trivia

* According to her Character Profile:

* Cagalli's favorite subject is physical education, while her least favorite subject is geography.
* Her favorite food is doner kebab with chili sauce.
* Cagalli prefers people of strong sense of justice and gentle and she doesn't like people with don't keep discipline.
* The people he respects or admires are Kakucho.
* The people she dislikes or fears are Naotora Takeda and Mikasa Ackerman.
* Her hobby is strength training.

* Before she finds out he’s her brother, she develops feeling towards Kira. This is similar to both Luke and Leia from Star Wars.
* According to an interview with Mitsuo Fukuda, her name is derived after the Japanese word *kagaribi* (a watch fire or a bonfire).
* Before knowing her true identity, both Kira and Athrun had been rough to her (Kira slapped her in the desert while Athrun tried to kill her on their first meeting.).
* Despite the fact that she and Kira Yamato are twin siblings, she insists that Kira is her "little" brother. This is most likely due to his meek nature in the first series. It should be noted that Kira was taken from his mother's womb early in his development and placed into an artificial womb while Cagalli was born as a Natural in her mother's womb, so the two could literally have been born at the same exact time. Although technically, since Kira was removed earlier on from their mother's womb, it can also be said that he was born first.
* There are several references to "dawn" in groups/objects around her.

1. Her love interest, Athrun Zala's first name means dawn or daybreak.
2. The last mobile suit she pilots, the Akatsuki, means "dawn" in Japanese.
3. The resistance group she joins is known as the "Desert Dawn'.
4. The disastrous counterattack after the ZAFT attack on Tassil took place at dawn.
5. The company that built the original 5 Gundams, Morgenroete, is based in Orb. "Morgenroete" is German for dawn.

* Also, she has links to the color red as well.

* The "Rouge" in the name of her first mobile suit means red in French.
* Her love interest, Athrun Zala, mostly pilots MSes which were either red or pink.
* Her image song is "Desert Rose"; roses are mostly known for being red.

* The Director says that Akatsuki still belongs to Cagalli, and that she only lent it Neo to help end the war.
* Cagalli appears in the *Extreme Vs.* series as the pilot for her Strike Rouge Ootori Pack.
* She and her VA, Naomi Shindō are at the center of a controversy as aspects of her characterization and relationship status with Athrun were said to be affected by Morosawa's dislike of Cagalli. The treatment was so bad Naomi swore off of voicing her in games, leading to among other things, Cagalli being unplayable in Super Robot Wars Z. However with the release of SD G Generation Overworld, it appears she has returned to voicing Cagalli in games.
* She and Shiemi have a good relationship.
