Dunya Scheer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dunya Scheer (Δωνια Σερ) (デゥーニャ・シェーア, ^?) is one of the main characters from the 2003 anime series Last Exile.

First introduced in episode 13 (Isolated Pawn), Dunya Scheer was a woman solider most likely never expected to be in combat, but put in service due to Disith's low manpower. She is equipped with prototype multi-fire shotgun with a Winchester like cocking device, due to it low range and low firepower it is not officially authorized and is expectedly not widely used. She was probably tasked execute Tatiana Wisla and Claus Valca, but she was too afraid to kill, fired a round to make it sound as if she had killed the two of them, and ran off. Puzzled, Tatiana and Claus followed her and watched her fall, expressing their surprise as they find out it is a woman soldier. She is later involved as part of the ground force in the Disith operation to raze the Anatoray capital which is successfully completed. She was most likely evacuated when the Anatoray fleet offered its cease-fire and the Disith fleet withdrew.

We next see her involved in the same operation Mullin Shetland is involved in; they first meet when she falls over Mullin trying to catch a dove to eat. Over the course of there training they meet several times and eventually develop a long lasting relationship. The relationship culminates in Mullin asking Dunya if she would join him on a ship together. Dunya accepts and Mullin is overjoyed. The operation commences shortly thereafter and it is a success but Mullin is gravely wounded and presumed dead. Dunya cries for him as she sees him and finds his Survivor Medals lying on the ground. No more reference is made to Dunya until the last episode where she is seen getting the message Lavie Head and Claus' fathers were supposed to have delivered over their new grave. She is then seen in the closing scene in a motherly fashion having married to Mullin.
