[[caption-width-right:300:''"Okay, Is everybody ready for this? It might get a little bumpy!"'']]

The taller girl of ThoseTwoGuys in Subaru's squad. She's a macabre Aesti pilot who can't help but make horrific puns and dark jokes...when of course, she's not teasing her captain.

Inez is a survivor of the Jovian attack on the Martian colonies, found in the deserts of Mars. She joins the crew after their rescue of the Martian Colonies goes awry, serving as a scientist, doctor...and designated explainer.

Megumi is a former voice actress who was chosen to help the Nadesico. She's just as much of a go-getter in her current position as she was as a voice actress, but she can be a little pushy.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: It has been a tradition in adaptations of Nadesico elsewhere (most prominently ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series that featured Nadesico) that he ''does not'' get off scot-free. Pick your poison: [[spoiler:Drained off his resources to the point he couldn't fund the movie plot anymore, just straight up kill him (or [[KickTheSonOfABitch have some other bad guy]] [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork do the job]]) or getting his plans in the movie wrecked anyway and then arrested for good.]]

* CharClone: In the movie, ''Prince of Darkness''.

* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: Like Gai, she's a ''huge'' Gekiganger fan.

* CracksInTheIcyFacade: Ruri Hoshino is a ReiAyanamiExpy with a blank expression, a biting wit, and a penchant for referring to everyone around her as "baka/idiots". When they're retaking the ship from the UEF in an early episode, Megumi notes the first crack in Ruri's icy exterior, saying, "Did I just see you smile?" Ruri notes that it's a possibility, adding herself to the mix when she says, "I guess we're ''all'' idiots, here."

* ReiAyanamiExpy: She's a stoic young girl with blue-grey hair, yellow eyes, and odd origins.. Ruri was actually the ''first'' ReiAyanamiExpy, though she's more a response to Rei than the direct copy of later versions. Her popularity has sparked a series of LittleMissSnarker expies of her own.

* SurroundedByIdiots: Generally views the rest of the crew this way, to the point where it's her CatchPhrase.

* GenkiGirl: She tends to be a little over-energtic at times.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In episode 6, since as Captain she can't leave the ship, she orders it to land where Akito has gone with Megumi. As it turns out, the missing Mars Colonists had taken shelter in an underground complex straight beneath them and when the Jovians attack, in order to save her ship, Yuri orders the shields activated, resulting in a cave in that kills the entire refugee camp.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Implied. It's really interesting that during an episode when part of crew had reversed their personalities, she was under the effects and was acting like usually.

** Nergal also treats her as little more than a human machine, yet she's a crucial part of [[spoiler:the Nadescio's defection near the end of the series, since the ship can't operate without her.]]

* ReallySeventeenYearsOld: Implied. Megumi's age is listed as 17, but she's treated as an equal in the LoveDodecahedron, she's self-sufficient without any mention of being a MinorLivingAlone, and she's a voice actress, who in Japan often joke that they're "eternally 17." Thus, she's probably at least a few years older.

* HateSink

* KnightTemplar: Believes the Jovians are the righteous heroes, and that the Earth government is an evil empire in need of smiting.
