[edit] Personality and traits
23-year old Excellen Browning is an extremely playful and flirtatious woman. She's always trying to get her boyfriend Kyosuke Nanbu to be romantic with her whenever she gets the chance, although she tends to flirt with nearly every male (and a few females) she comes in contact with. As well, she loves teasing the younger pilots, like Brooklyn Luckfield and Masaki Andoh, cheering up people in times of stress, like Aya Kobayashi when Ingram Prisken defected to the Aerogators and helping couples solve their relationship problems, a la Tasuku Shinguji and Leona Garstein. Carefree, frequently cheerful and loves alcohol, Excellen is actually quite an intelligent person, often quoting metaphors in the midst of battle, but at the same time, misusing them.
In battle, Excellen can be considered a sniper, as the Weiss Ritter/Rein Weiss Ritter was built for long-range combat by Marion Radom. Most of the time, she's there to back up Kyosuke from the rear, while he takes the enemy head-on.
[edit] History
Excellen and Kyosuke were the only survivors of a shuttle crash during their younger years as cadet pilots. While Kyosuke came out of the accident unscathed, Excellen's body was damaged beyond repair and had little chance of living. However, a group of mysterious aliens called the Einst rebuilt her damaged body with their technology. She ended up surviving, while becoming roughly 80% Einst and 20% human. Her history is unknown between that period until Kyosuke is recruited by Sanger Zonvolt into the ATX Team. Although Kyosuke didn't recognize her at first, Excellen, a Second Lieutenant on the team, reminds him of their past acquaintance and begin their steady relationship.
Though the two don't serve a strong role in Original Generation, their storyline is central to the plot of Original Generation 2. Here, the Einst, the aliens who repaired Excellen's body, have cloned her from their collective data on her in the form of Alfimi. The Einst, who claim they're the original watchers of the Earth, decide to destroy it and recreate it from its ashes a new world, with Kyosuke and Alfimi as the new Adam and Eve. To further their scheme, they capture Excellen and her Weiss Ritter and had her easily brainwashed, due to the influence of the Einst technology in her. The Weiss Ritter is eventualy rebuilt as the Rein Weiss Ritter. However, Kyosuke and the Original Generation cast managed to break her free from their control over her and stop the Einst. With the Einst leader destroyed, all Einst elements in the universe begins to fade, including Alfimi, the parts on the Rein Weiss Ritter and the technology within Excellen's body. (Although it is debated as to wether the technology within her body dissapeared or not)
Because Alfimi was essentially Excellen, even though she was a clone, Excellen felt deeply disheartened, having to lose another part of her family. The events of OG2 concludes with Kyosuke and Excellen discussing on their future together, with Excellen suggesting that if she ever conceives a baby girl, they would name her Alfimi, in memory of her attachment with her clone, before the Einst disappeared.
In the Shadow Mirror universe, the Excellen Browning of that dimension was killed in the crash and was reborn and rebuilt as Lemon Browning by her parents, who also survived.
[edit] Notes
In Original Generation 2, if Excellen lands the killing blow on Lemon Browning's Ash Saber in the final battle against the Shadow Mirrors (just before the normal final stage and the extra stage), Excellen revises her comment about having children, during the ending dialogue. She tells Kyosuke that she'd like to have twin girls instead, which Kyosuke correctly guessed would be named Lemon and Alfimi.
