Rafflesia

* Queen's outfit (also next to her crystal ball)
* Battle suit

Queen Rafflesia - She is the ruler of the Mazon Empire, which seeks refuge for its race. She herself is not a pilot of any robot or ship, but gives commands to control her Mothership.

## Appearance

Rafflesia has a lithe body with long flowing hair and expressive eyes. Her skin is usually pale white while her hair is usually a deep blue hue in most of her color appearances.

For most of her performances, Rafflesia wears a long black dress that is open above her shoulders, with the middle going down to her midriff, revealing a heart-shaped neckline. On her head, she wears a crown that forms a shape that separates from the jewel on her forehead in three matching pieces around her head. However, when leaving her throne for battle, Rafflesia dons a red and green skintight outfit.

## Personality

As Queen of the Mazons, Rafflesia has dedicated herself to giving her people a new home. Unfortunately, most of her attempts ended up with the planets eventually turning into desolate wastelands. Her many attempts often resulted in Rafflesia becoming indifferent to the people of these worlds, especially worlds where the figures in power do next to nothing, such as Earth. Meeting Harlock and his team in their resistance to Mazon gave Rafflesia a sense of intrigue, as most of the team was from Earth, but also something that needed to be eliminated. Rafflesia herself even personally met with Harlock and Lelouch at the planetary post to discuss where they should go next, showing that she doesn't fear or hate the space pirate and only opposes him and his crew for her duties. All of this shows the great burden that Rafflesia bears for her kind, as well as what she is willing to go to for them. But sometimes her actions are shown as a cruel woman, although this is often the machinations of The Claw and the Nightmare Syndicate. But on the other hand, she is most loyal to the Autobots, especially to Dai Atlas, who promised to build a utopian solar system for all races in the universe.

## Story

Little is known about her past, but it is likely that her own race caused the Mazon's home planet to be destroyed. And in order to find a new refuge for her race, she found new planets. But still not learning from their mistakes, they left the dead planets and went in search of new sanctuaries. Having found Earth, they planned to settle there, thereby exterminating the human race, but they understood that they would face stiff resistance. Therefore, she tried to develop a plan to colonize the Earth.

## Trivia

Probably after the events of GU1, Rafflesia and her entire race were completely wiped out by the Dark Crusader Order, so it was strange that Dai Atlas hadn't seen a single Mazon since.

Rafflesia is the name of a parasitic flowering plant found throughout southeastern Asia and its tropical neighboring nations that has no stems, leaves, or roots an instead uses its vines to latch onto hosts to absorb nutrients. It is also called 'corpse flower' due its odor smelling similar to rotting flesh. This reflects Queen Rafflesia reign on the Mazon empire by conquering other planets in order to live on them while draining the necessary resources for native species to survive, and the destruction of their own planet due to their activities.
