On the Archangel

When a twist of fate lands Lacus Clyne on board the Archangel, Flay looks down on her and scorns her kindness because she is a Coordinator. is a fictional character from the anime series Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. This is a list of fictional human enhancements from the Cosmic Era (CE timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries. After hearing this, Kuzzey Buskirk asks her if she is a member of the Blue Cosmos. This is a list of Fictional characters featured in the Cosmic Era (CE timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries. Flay says no, but she does not believe that their views are wrong because there is nothing natural about the Coordinators' existence.

Flay is elated to hear that the Archangel will be meeting her father; but his escort ship, the Montgomery, is attacked by ZAFT. Desperate, she drags Lacus to the bridge and demands that the crew tell the ZAFT forces to cease their attack, or she will kill Lacus. Unfortunately, the crew does not act in time to save her father, who dies when the Montgomery explodes.

Flay is catatonic at the loss of her father and ultimately blames her ordeal on Kira, believing he deliberately held back to not kill "his own kind". (There is some truth to that accusation because Kira was fighting his old friend Athrun Zala. is a Fictional character from the Anime series Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, set in the Cosmic Era (CE timeline This friendship is not revealed to the group at first, but Flay takes the information personally once she heard about it. ) This action clearly effects Kira, who is very upset by her outburst. She later apologizes for what she said.

The Archangel later meets with Admiral Lewis Halberton and his Eighth Fleet and Kira is given a choice as to whether he will continue to fight. To make him keep fighting the Coordinators, Flay enlists in the Earth Alliance, and her actions prompt Kira and his friends to enlist as well. When he returns to pick up his normal clothing from his locker, he finds Flay contemplating taking the Strike into action. Kira assures her she does not need to as he will continue to protect the ship. Flay states that if he will protect the ship, she will protect him and gives him a deep kiss. This is the start of her manipulation of Kira, using his existing attraction to her and his unstable psychological state to her advantage.

Later, Kira breaks down because he failed to protect a transport containing innocent civilians, including a little girl named Elle who gave him an origami flower to thank him for protecting the refugees. Flay comforts him and eventually the two of them have sex. She wakes up naked to find Kira preparing for battle. Her influence drives him to use a more violent fighting style against the ZAFT forces who engage the Archangel in North Africa and later in the Indian Ocean.

In North Africa, Flay breaks off her relationship with Sai in favor of Kira. Enraged, Sai lunges at them, but Kira easily overpowers him. This prompts Sai to try piloting the Strike, but he fails and is put under solitary confinement.

Over time, as Kira becomes more obsessed with protecting the Archangel and less intoxicated with Flay, the two grow apart. This bothers Flay as she tries to save the relationship, by seducing him again.

Later, when the Archangel is undergoing repairs at Orb, Flay reveals to Kira that after her father's death she was in fact an orphan, as her mother died from sickness a long time ago. In this same conversation, Kira ends his relationship with Flay, believing that they are not right for each other. It is unclear whether or not he realizes she was manipulating him. By this time, Flay does have feelings for him, and she tries to tell him so.

Shortly afterwards Kira and Tolle Koenig are declared missing in action. is a fictional character in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Anime series With Kira gone, Flay attempts to restart her relationship with Sai, denying she ever felt any emotions for Kira. Sai says this is not true, and they begin to argue. The arguing former couple encounter an enraged Miriallia trying to avenge Tolle's death by attacking Dearka Elsman, who was then being held prisoner on board the Archangel. is a fictional character from the Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny Anime series Sai stops Miriallia and calms her down, then Flay states her belief that Coordinators must be eradicated. She attempts to shoot Dearka, but is knocked down by the recomposed Miriallia. Flay demands an explanation, stating that she and Miriallia are now the same, an opinion Miriallia vehemently denies.

Later, Flay is transferred from the Archangel, along with Mu La Flaga and Natarle Badgiruel. is a fictional character from the Cosmic Era (CE timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries. is a fictional character in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Anime series However, she encounters Rau Le Creuset during an infiltration mission he is conducting. the direct clone of Mu La Flaga's father Al Da Flaga. Considering his own son Mu as "nothing" because he was "diluted" by the inferior DNA of a mother Al Flay is reminded of her deceased father when she hears Rau Le Creuset's voice. (George Allster and Rau are both voiced by Seki Toshihiko in the Japanese version, and by Mark Oliver in the English dub. is a popular veteran Japanese voice actor ( Seiyū) who was born in Tochigi. Mark Oliver is a Voice actor who works for Ocean Studios in Vancouver British Columbia Canada. ) Flay is knocked out and kidnapped by Rau, ironically saving her life as the base in Alaska self-destructs shortly afterwards. Alaska ( Аляска Alyaska) is a state in the United States of America, in the northwest of the North American continent

Time with Le Creuset and on the Dominion

During her time with Le Creuset, Flay has a change of heart and no longer wishes death on all Coordinators. She even sneaks glances at Yzak Joule every once in a while, and although nothing happens between the two of them, she thinks about him as well as Kira and Le Creuset later on when Muruta Azrael declares his goal of eliminating all Coordinators. is a fictional character from the Anime series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. is a fictional Villain from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Anime series

Eventually, Le Creuset hands her back to the Earth Alliance, along with a disk containing the specs to N-Jammer Canceller technology. While in the lifepod, she desperately tries to communicate with the Archangel and in the process everybody on the battlefield hears her, including Kira. Upon hearing Kira's voice again, Flay weeps with joy.

However, Kira fails to retrieve her pod after his ZGMF-X10A Freedom is beheaded by the Forbidden and the Raider, and she winds up on board the Dominion instead.

This is a list of fictional mobile units from the Cosmic Era (CE timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries. When Flay is greeted by Natarle, the only person on board the Dominion whom she is familiar with, she cries in her arms.

After a brief stay on the Earth Alliance lunar base, Flay becomes the Dominion's communications officer. (When Natarle asks her why, Flay says so she can see Kira and the others again and talk. ) While on board the ship, she witnesses the destruction of the ZAFT fortress Boaz with nuclear missiles. Despite her earlier declaration that all Coordinators must be eradicated, Flay is horrified by this act and weeps when Natarle (hiding her own doubts) says that the war will not end until every last enemy is destroyed. (In the original Japanese in the voice actors for Flay and Natarle are the same person: Houko Kuwashima. In essence, she is talking to herself)

During the battle of Jachin Due, Flay becomes frightened of Azrael. However, when Azrael orders the crew to fire on the Archangel, Flay tries to warn her former crewmates. When Azrael tries to shoot her, Natarle intervenes and orders her and the rest of the crew to abandon ship and get to the Archangel.

En route to the Archangel, Flay notices Kira and Le Creuset fighting in their respective mobile suits, the Freedom and the Providence.

When Kira hears her voice again, he backs out of the fight and tries to rescue her. Instead of going after Kira, Le Creuset points his beam rifle directly at Flay's escape vessel. Kira manages to block the shot with his shield and get one last look at Flay. But then another one of Rau's DRAGOONs fires from above and destroys the vessel, killing Flay and her crewmates.

Kira cries out in anguish, realizing Flay's death could have been prevented if he had not lost focus on Le Creuset. However, Flay's spirit appears to briefly materialize to thank and apologize to Kira. She assures Kira that her feelings will protect him and disappears. Kira later avenges Flay's death by killing Le Crueset in combat.

The director of Gundam SEED, Mitsuo Fukuda, has stated that this spiritual appearance does not literally occur. Mitsuo Fukuda (福田 己津央 Fukuda Mitsuo, 福田 満夫 prior to 1990 (born 1960 is the director of Future GPX Cyber Formula, Gear Fighter Rather, it was a way to illustrate to the audience what Flay wanted to say to Kira but never actually could, and thus bring closure to her character arc.
