[edit] Personality And Traits

18 year-old Leona Garstein is part of the well-known Branstein house, living under its family branch, the Garsteins. A calm, prideful girl, she was raised and educated in the space colonies, eventually joining up with the United Colony Corps. Like her cousin Rai, Leona is an excellent pilot, graduating at the top of her class, and was assigned to the Troye Unit, an elite, all-female mobile space unit charged with protecting the colonies. But unlike many characters, Leona is oddly domineering, mostly towards her boyfriend, Tasuku Shinguji. To him, her attitude seems cold and overbearing, but it's her constant concern for his safety that makes her keep close to him. While her cousin Elzam is skilled at making gourmet food, ironically, Leona has difficulty in preparing a dish that won't make Tasuku faint after eating it. In fact, the only meal that she can prepare that Tasuku enjoys is porridge.

[edit] History

Leona first appears in the Original Generation universe as a member of the United Colony Corps elite Troye Unit, fighting under her uncle Maier V. Branstein and alongside her cousin Elzam who had been recruited into the Divine Crusaders. While she had minor doubts about the methods both forces were taking towards the Earth Federation government, she loyally stood by her family and battled against them. Several times, she was forced into battle against the Hiryu Kai and its crews, where she was repulsed. During the United Colony Corps' drop operation, she was sent away from the Troye Unit, which was destroyed in the ensuring battle against the Hiryu Custom. Finally, in a final mission after the defeat of the Divine Crusaders and the United Colony Corps, she was thrown into battle against her other cousin, the SRX Team's Raidiese, fully expecting to die in the fight.

However, she was also hit upon by a man she'd fought against several times in battle - the Hiryu Kai's Tasuku Shinguji. Between the two's efforts, she was shot down and captured. Moved by the concern her cousin showed for both her and Elzam, as well as the grief he exhibited over the deaths of his father and sister-in-law, she defected to the Earth Federation Army, fighting alongside the Hagane and Hiryu Kai during the Aerogater invasion. At the end of the war, she was asked by Tasuku to join the Octo Squad aboard the Hiryu Kai, which, to his shock, she accepted. Since then, the two have grown closer, to the point where she regularly attempts to make food for him and he designs the Siegerlion for her.

[edit] Notes

As are all the protagonists taken from Super Robot Wars Alpha, Leona and Tasuku are both Psychodrivers. However, this is not a major point in the Original Generation storyline until she gets the Siegerlion, which is equipped with a T-Link System.
