Lacus Clyne is the daughter of PLANT Supreme Council chairman [[Siegel Clyne]]. She is a [[Coordinator]], whose career as an [[Japanese idol|idol singer]] has brought her enormous popularity in the PLANTs. She is betrothed to [[Athrun Zala]], mainly out of political expediency, but as the [[Bloody Valentine War]] goes on, Lacus meets and is slowly drawn to [[Kira Yamato]], pilot of the Earth Alliance's [[GAT-X105 Strike Gundam]].

When she is dispatched on the civilian vessel [[Silverwind]] to the ruins of Junius 7, her vessel is attacked by an Earth Alliance [[Nelson-class battleship]] led by information by [[Kenav Luchini]] to believe that the vessel is actually a military ship. A fight breaks out, but Lacus' lifepod makes it out thanks to the efforts of Junk Guild tech [[Lowe Guele]] and his [[MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame|MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame]]. Her lifepod is subsequently rescued by the [[GAT-X105 Strike Gundam]] and brought to the ''Archangel''. Lacus treats friend and foe alike with kindness and respect, and even her fiancé Athrun is sometimes perplexed by her apparent naïveté.

{{nihongo|'''Lacus Clyne'''|ラクス・クライン|Rakusu Kurain}} is a fictional character introduced in the Japanese [[science fiction]] [[anime]] television series ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]'' and appearing in the sequels ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom]]'', all three of which are part of the [[Gundam]] franchise by [[Sunrise (studio)|Sunrise]]. In the start of ''Mobile Suit Gundam SEED'', Lacus is a good natured and popular female [[vocalist]] from the space colony PLANT. Born as a genetically enhanced human, a Coordinator (later revealed to be a Accord), Lacus is introduced when she is found in space by the battleship the ''Archangel'', a ship of regular humans, the Naturals. Late in the war between the races of Coordinators and Naturals, Lacus becomes the co-leader of the Clyne Faction, joining with the ''Archangel'' to stop both sides from fighting. Lacus is voiced in the Japanese series by [[Rie Tanaka]]. In the Ocean English dub, her speaking voiced is done by [[Chantal Strand]], while Jillian Michaels does her singing voice. In the NYAV English dub, she is voiced by [[Stephanie Sheh]].
Late in the war, she helps [[Kira Yamato]] steal the [[ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam]] as a counter to the ambitions of [[Patrick Zala]]. Because of this, she and her father Siegel were declared as traitors, and Siegel was gunned down by Patrick Zala's minions. Before her escape from the PLANTs, she has a surprise meeting with Athrun, and her words on her views of the war is what leads to his final decision concerning his choice on who he wants to fight for.


Lacus' character has also appeared in different adaptations from ''Gundam SEED'' and ''Gundam SEED Destiny'', as well as various [[video game]]s. Her character has been popular in Japan, appearing at the top of [[Animage#Character|''Animage''{{'}}s Anime Grand Prix]] polls four times in the category of most popular female anime characters. She has also appeared in other popularity polls from Sunrise and other magazines. Moreover, publications for manga, anime and other media have commented on Lacus' character, giving her praise; speculations regarding her role in the series were made, but in the end it was found surprising.
Near the end of the Bloody Valentine, she leaves the PLANTs with her stolen support ship, [[Eternal class support ship|Eternal]] and joins the [[Orb Union]] owned [[Izumo class battleship]] [[Kusanagi]] and the recently defected [[Archangel class assault ship|Archangel]], to form the [[Clyne Faction]], a group dedicated to stopping the war. When the Junk Guild vessel [[ReHOME]] joins the Clyne Faction as a tender ship, Lacus finally meets the man who saved Kira's life (as well as her own) Junk Guild tech [[Lowe Guele]]. She finally admits her love for Kira to him when she gives him a ring before the final battle at Jachin Due and tells him to come back to her safely.


==Appearances==
At the start of Gundam SEED Destiny, Lacus is living with Kira at Reverend Malchio's orphanage in the [[Marshall Islands]]. In addition, ZAFT Supreme Council Chairman [[Gilbert Dullindal]], in need of clout in order to prevent the ZAFT citizenry from panicking and attacking the Earth Alliance full out, has begun to showcase Meer Campbell as Lacus herself, using her to influence the populace. The real Lacus is almost killed when a group of assassins tried to kill her, but Kira fights them off with the Freedom Gundam. She, along with Murrue Ramius, [[Kira Yamato|Kira]], Andrew Waltfeld, [[Cagalli Yula Athha|Cagalli]], and most of the [[Archangel class assault ship|Archangel]] crew reunite, to stop the new war.


===In the TV series===
Lacus later hijacks a shuttle to go into space, to see what the situation is up at the PLANTs. Along with [[Andrew Waltfeld]] they rejoin the crew of the repaired ''Eternal'' and the TERMINAL factory satellite. She leaves with the crew of the ''Eternal'' to deliver the newly built Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice mobile suits to Athrun and Kira. Kira and Lacus are reunited, and Lacus' words yet again helps Athrun make the decision on what he wants to do concerning the second war.
In ''Mobile Suit Gundam SEED'', Lacus Clyne is the daughter of PLANT Supreme Council Chairman [[Siegel Clyne]].<ref name="GSlacus">{{cite web |url=http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/seed/characters/chara_lacus.html |title=Lacus Clyne ''Gundam SEED'' profile |access-date=July 30, 2007|publisher=GundamOfficial|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930015846/http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/seed/characters/chara_lacus.html|archive-date=September 30, 2007}}</ref> Often seen with Haro machines, Lacus is one of the genetically enhanced humans known as Coordinators whose career as an [[Japanese idol|idol singer]] has brought her enormous popularity.<ref name="GSlacus"/> When she is dispatched to the ruins of Junius Seven, her vessel is attacked by an Earth Alliance battleship, a faction composed of Natural that oppose PLANT.<ref name="GSlacus"/> Her lifepod is subsequently rescued by the mobile suit GAT-X105 Strike and brought to the Earth Alliance ship Archangel.

Lacus is then forced to reveal her presence (and the fact that the ZAFT Lacus is an imposter) when Meer interrupts Cagalli's broadcast following the Second Battle of Onogoro.


===In other media===
Following her worldwide broadcast denouncing Chairman Dullindal's agenda and exposing her imposter Meer Campbell and the sudden attack on PLANT by Lord Djibril's ''REQUIEM'' beam, Lacus will be going back to space aboard the ''Archangel''. The Clyne Faction will vow to stop Chairman Dullindal from implementing his radical "Destiny Plan" which according to Lacus, will involve using genetics to assign behavioural genes to every human being in order to render wars and conflicts obsolete. She later tries to convince Meer to stop working for Dullindal; however, Meer ends up dying in Lacus' arms after taking the shot that was originally meant to kill Lacus.
Apart from her role in the original series, Lacus is also featured in the [[original video animation]] ''Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Final Plus''. After Durandal's death, Lacus is invited back to the PLANTs to serve as a mediator between ZAFT and the other nations.<ref>{{cite video |date = April 15, 2008 |title = Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: Final Plus

The character has also received comments by publications for manga, anime and other media. When ''Gundam SEED'' was during its first episodes in Japan, Ever Cheung from Animefringe wondered about the future regarding Lacus and Kira as he noticed the two about to embrace in the anime's opening theme.

[[Image:Normal_872.JPG|thumb|left|Lacus Clyne in the Supreme Council Chamber]]After the death of Chairman Dullindal, Lacus Clyne is invited back to the PLANTs. In the end she is walking towards the PLANT Surpreme Council, it is still unclear whether she is a member of the council or the Leader of PLANT (Chairwoman). With the Strike Freedom launching from the Eternal, it is unclear whether Kira is part of ZAFT or Lacus Clyne's own personal forces.

In the start of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Lacus is a good natured and popular female vocalist from the space colony PLANT. Born as a genetically enhanced human, a Coordinator (later revealed to be a Accord), Lacus is introduced when she is found in space by the battleship the Archangel, a ship of regular humans, the Naturals. Late in the war between the races of Coordinators and Naturals, Lacus becomes the co-leader of the Clyne Faction, joining with the Archangel to stop both sides from fighting. Lacus is voiced in the Japanese series by Rie Tanaka. In the Ocean English dub, her speaking voiced is done by Chantal Strand, while Jillian Michaels does her singing voice. In the NYAV English dub, she is voiced by Stephanie Sheh.

Lacus' character has also appeared in different adaptations from Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, as well as various video games. Her character has been popular in Japan, appearing at the top of Animage's Anime Grand Prix polls four times in the category of most popular female anime characters. She has also appeared in other popularity polls from Sunrise and other magazines. Moreover, publications for manga, anime and other media have commented on Lacus' character, giving her praise; speculations regarding her role in the series were made, but in the end it was found surprising.

Appearances

[edit]

In the TV series

[edit]

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Lacus Clyne is the daughter of PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Siegel Clyne.[3] Often seen with Haro machines, Lacus is one of the genetically enhanced humans known as Coordinators whose career as an idol singer has brought her enormous popularity.[3] When she is dispatched to the ruins of Junius Seven, her vessel is attacked by an Earth Alliance battleship, a faction composed of Natural that oppose PLANT.[3] Her lifepod is subsequently rescued by the mobile suit GAT-X105 Strike and brought to the Earth Alliance ship Archangel. There Lacus befriends the Strike pilot Kira Yamato while most of the others remain indifferent because she is a Coordinator.[4] In the following battle, ZAFT forces attacking the Archangel are forced to retreat after Lacus is used as a hostage by Natarle Badgiruel.[5] Disgusted by this action, Kira escorts Lacus back to ZAFT in secret. He hands her over to Athrun Zala, who is engaged to Lacus.[6] Late in the war, a wounded Kira is brought to Lacus' home by her friend Reverend Malchio.[7] As Kira is nursed back to health, he resolves to keep fighting in order to find a way to end the war. In response, Lacus helps Kira steal the mobile suit ZGMF-X10A Freedom.[8] Because of this, Lacus and her father Siegel are declared as traitors and the latter is killed by ZAFT soldiers. Lacus steals the ship Eternal and joins the Orb Union-owned Kusanagi and the recently defected Archangel to form the Three Ships Alliance, a group dedicated to stopping the war.[9] Before the last battle to stop both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, Lacus gives Kira a ring, asking him to come back safely to her.[10]

At the start of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Lacus is living with Kira at Reverend Malchio's orphanage in the Marshall Islands. However, a disaster from the new war forces them to move in with their former comrades Andrew Waltfeld and Murrue Ramius at their shared mansion in Orb.[11] Lacus is almost killed in an assassination attempt by Coordinators but Kira defeats the assassins with the Freedom.[12] She, along with Murrue, Kira, Andrew, and most of the Archangel's crew reunite hoping to stop the new war.[13][14] Lacus, along with Andrew, go into space, to see what the situation is at the PLANTs.[15] She delivers the newly built Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice mobile suits to Kira and Athrun during her returning.[16][17] She also reveals her presence to the public and the fact that ZAFT has been using an impersonation of her for their own benefit. Later, Lacus and Kira reveal to the crew of the Archangel Durandal's plan to assign behavioral genes to every human being in order to render war and conflict obsolete. Lacus then leads Terminal and its allies in the final battle to stop Durandal.[18]

In other media

[edit]

Apart from her role in the original series, Lacus is also featured in the original video animation Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Final Plus. After Durandal's death, Lacus is invited back to the PLANTs to serve as a mediator between ZAFT and the other nations.[19] She also appears in two series of films Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Special Edition and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Special Edition which retell the events from its respective series.[20][21] In the end of the OVA as well as Gundam SEED Destiny: Special Edition, Lacus remains as a member of the PLANT Supreme Council.[22] She is also featured in the manga adaptations of both Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, the latter also including Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: The Edge.[23][24][25] Two CDs soundtracks have also been released based on Lacus' character featuring tracks by her Japanese voice actress, Tanaka Rie.[26][27] Lacus is a playable character in both video games Gundam SEED Destiny: OMNI vs ZAFT II and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, she also appears in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, Super Robot Wars Judgement, Super Robot Wars W and Super Robot Wars K as captain of the Eternal. Lacus is a Pilot in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 piloting the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice. In a collection mission she is seen piloting a ball. She also shows up in the SD Gundam G Generation games.

Reception

[edit]

Lacus Clyne consistently ranked highly in the most popular female category in the Animage Anime Grand Prix poll in the 25th to 30th editions of the poll.[28][29] In the 27th to 29th versions of the poll, Lacus Clyne placed first in this category.[30][31][32] In another poll, she was voted as the second most popular female anime character from the 2000s.[33] In a poll organized by Sunrise regarding which was the best couple in the Gundam franchise, Lacus and Kira were second.[34] In another poll from the same site, Lacus was voted as the most popular princess from the entire franchise.[35] She was also second in a poll which asked fans what female characters from Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny would they want to see in swimming suit, as well as another one in wedding dress from the Gundam franchise.[36][37] Two other polls asked fans what was the most memorable characters from Gundam SEED and from Gundam SEED Destiny; Lacus was sixth in the former and fifth in the latter.[38][39] In the 2007 Seiyu Awards, Rie Tanaka was a nominee in the category "Best Actresses in supporting roles" for her portrayal as Lacus in the Gundam SEED Destiny OVA, but lost to Ami Koshimizu and Yuko Goto.[40][41]

The character has also received comments by publications for manga, anime and other media. When Gundam SEED was during its first episodes in Japan, Ever Cheung from Animefringe wondered about the future regarding Lacus and Kira as he noticed the two about to embrace in the anime's opening theme. He commented if his doubts may be right, he would find the story more interesting that he thought.[42] Kim Wolstenholme from Mania Entertainment liked Lacus's introduction to the series as it added tension to it the friendship between Kira and Athrun. Kim noted that while Lacus and Athrun were engaged, he wondered how Lacus and Kira started relating in the series.[43] Ross Liversidge from UK Anime Network stated he did not expect Lacus's faction entrance to the war in the last episodes from Gundam SEED as it emphasized the disasters happening within the series.[44] Wolstenholme liked how Lacus started to take place in the war as it contrasted her actions in the series' first episodes, while also delivering surprising revelations.[45] Moreover, Chris Beverdige, also writing for Mania, found Lacus' development throughout these episodes interesting and at the same time comical due to the design of her ship and how it is decorated by the Haros she possesses.[46] While reviewing Gundam SEED Destiny, Liversidge stated that Lacus had become "a cult" within the series' setting due to how besides being pop-idol, she is backed up by a large number of soldiers. Lacus' public appearance in the series to reveal that Meer Campbell was impersonating her and state her true intentions was also called "totally mesmerising" by Liversidge.[47] Chantal Strand was praised for her performance as both Lacus's and Meer's English voice actress by Anime News Network writer Theron Martin for giving them quality distinct from the original Japanese version despite finding it varying at some points.[48]
