Mirage Farina Jenius

Mirage Farina Jenius (ミラージュ・ファリーナ・ジーナス?) is one of the main characters of the Macross Δ television series. She is a Delta Flight member of Zentradi descent. Her callsign is "Delta 4" until she is reassigned to "Delta 2", becoming the new second-in-command of the team. She is nicknamed "Mira-Mira" (ミラミラ) by Makina Nakajima. Mirage's VF-31C Siegfried unit is colored in a white, magenta, and gray scheme. She has beloved pet Seacat named Q-Lulu. Mirage is an 18-year-old pilot of mixed human and Zentradi ancestry, and the only woman on Delta Flight. On one hand she takes pride in her duties as a pilot, but on the other she is serious and inflexible. She is former pilot in the New United Nations Spacy before being scouted by Delta's captain, Arad Mölders. Mirage comes from a family with a long history: she is the daughter of Miranda Jenius, the niece of Mylene Flare Jenius from Macross 7, and granddaughter of Max and Milia Jenius from the first Macross series. Due to her family lineage, she constantly faces the pressure of living up to the reputation of her grandparents. When Hayate Immelman is recruited into Delta Flight, Mirage is assigned as his training officer, much to her dismay. They fought for a while due to their opposite personalities and piloting techniques, but then they gradually understand and support each other, notably in battlefield. She started to develop feelings for Hayate, and gets jealous whenever seeing the closeness between Hayate and Freyja Wion.
