Asticassia School of Technology
The Asticassia School of Technology is a space-based campus that focuses on educating its students about the usage and development of mobile suits, as well as the various business practices and interests surrounding mobile suit R&D and sales. The majority of the students attending Asticassia are either the children of Benerit Group employees or the heirs of the Group's CEOs, with a few other students getting into the school via other means.
In General
- Duels Decide Everything: Conflicts at the school are oftentimes resolved by mobile suit duels, which are overseen by the Dueling Committee. Benerit Group president and school chairman Delling Rembran instituted the system at some point prior to the series' start; the top duelist, the "Holder", wins the right to marry his daughter Miorine and inherit the presidency of the Benerit Group if they have the title on Miorine's 17th birthday.
- The Proud Elite: Many of the students attending the academy hold this attitude due to being Spacians, and look down on both Earthians in general and Earthian students on top of that.

Earth House
In General
Earth House. (地球寮, Chikyū Ryō) is a school faction in the Asticassia School of Technology. House members consist of students from Earth, some of whom face regular discrimination from Spacian students. Suletta Mercury is presently the only Spacian member within the House.
- Combat and Support: Pilots Suletta and Chuchu are Combat, while everyone else is Support, being their mechanics or business strategy students.
- Fantastic Racism: Earthians are treated terribly by Spacians and even the school itself (their dorm seems to double as the school's stables). The folks in this house are also not spared from discrimination from other students from the other houses.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: Almost. There are five girls (Suletta, Chuchu, Nika, Aliyah, and Lilique) to four guys (Martin, Till, Nuno, and Ojelo). This means that, before Suletta joined at the end of Episode 4, they played this trope straight.
- Got Volunteered: All of them get employed by Miorine without question when she starts up her GUND-ARM Inc. company at their dorm in Episode 8. Episode 9 sees Martin, Till, Ojelo and Lilique subsequently thrown into Zoworts to defend the new start-up in a group duel, despite none of them having any pilot training.
- Improvisational Ingenuity: Due to a combination of Fantastic Racism and not being backed by a major corporation, Earth House is often left having to scrounge for parts or cobble together equipment from whatever scrap they can salvage. All that said, the gear they produce is solid, such as the flight unit they built for Aerial that allowed her to match the Pharact in space combat.
- Multinational Team: From their names it's possible to infer that they come from various places all over the Earth.
- Ragtag Band of Misfits: The House is made of very different people with very different personalities.
- Shipper on Deck: As the series progresses, they all show support for Suletta and Miorine becoming official.

"Mercury has these kind of mobile suits..."
Click here to see her in her mechanic uniform
A second-year student in the mechanical department, who belongs to Earth House. She loves mobile suits and is very curious about Suletta's Gundam Aerial. Nika has outstanding maintenance skills and is proud of herself for customizing Chuchu's Demi Trainer.
- Alliterative Name: Nika Nanaura
- Cool Big Sis: Is one to Chuchu, given that she customized her Demi Trainer and in general took her under her wing. Chuchu even refers to her as Nika-nee. note
- Conflicting Loyalty: Is torn between her duties to Dawn of Fold to act as an agent for Shaddiq and her loyalty to her actual friends in Earth House.
- Everyone Has Standards: While she doesn't stand up for Suletta, she wasn't pleased by how other girls were treating her in the first episode. She also disagrees with her fellow Dawn of Fold members putting the Earth House in danger and is willing to expose herself to get them out of Asticassia.
- Exact Words: Enrolled at Asticassia with the vision of becoming a bridge between Earth and space. Ended up as a go-between for the Earth-based terrorist organization Dawn of Fold and the Spacian heir Shaddiq.
- Extreme Doormat: Nika noticeably doesn't protest when a girl pushes her out of the way to talk to Suletta and she only frowns when they end up laughing at her. Later, when two other girls claim she and her friend are eating at their table in the cafeteria, she agrees to move without argument, nor does she offer any complaint when one of them spits her gum on her full tray of food after she said they were "done eating" to excuse herself. Chuchu hates Nika's doormat nature and comes close to extracting violence on the girls, only to be talked out of it out of fear of possible expulsion. Episode 10 impiles that this is how she keeps her Earthian terrorist identity under wraps.
- Gadgeteer Genius:
- When Suletta needs a thruster pack for a space duel, she leads the effort to create a reliable, high spec unit for the Aerial out of scraps.
- She rebuilt Chuchu's older model Demi-Trainer such that its obsolete frame could take insanely high G acceleration and deceleration.
- Important Haircut: In the finale, she cuts her hair short during her time in prison and keeps it that way after her release.
- The Man Behind the Man: While Martin is officially the head of Earth House, he's shown to always defer to Nika when it comes to important decisions regarding the House.
- The Mole: Acts as Shaddiq's inside man on Earth House and the Aerial because of her association with Dawn of Fold. She's not happy about it.
- My God, What Have I Done?: At the end of Episode 11, Nika realizes that the terrorist attack was partially her fault as she let Shaddiq make contact with the group she has connections with.
- Mysterious Past: Episode 10 reveals that she's connected to the Earthian terror group Dawn of Fold, and reluctantly acts as the middleman between them and Shaddiq.
- Nice Girl: She was the friendliest to Suletta and was more patient with her stuttering. She even gave Suletta some help when she needed a bike to retrieve her Mobile Suit. She is also one of the only people to show concern for Suletta after Suletta is arrested in the aftermath of her duel with Guel.
- Phrase Catcher: "A go-between doesn't need to know."
- Oh, Crap!: In episode 12, she stares at a shocked Martin, who saw her warding off Dawn of Fold with their callsign, in unspoken horror.
- What the Hell, Hero?: In Episode 11, Nika does a much nicer version of this as she tells Miorine that she should talk to Suletta and that not everyone can be like her.
- Wrench Wench: Studying in the mechanical department, and has already customized a Mobile Suit.

"Aren't Spacians the ones who push around the Earthians here?"
A first-year student in the piloting department, who belongs to Earth House. She is nicknamed "Chuchu." She hates the Spacians who discriminate against Earthians and often gets into fights. Chuchu pilots a unique restored older-generation Demi Trainer.
- Ace Custom:
- Has a customized Demi Trainer, which Nika worked on. Unlike most examples in the franchise, the goal was reducing costs by improving an outdated suit instead of using a modern one.
- She gains access to a Demi Barding Prototype in Episode 20 during Norea's rampage at Asticassia. Secelia gives it to her so Chuchu can keep them all from dying, and it is then tuned by Nika to better suit Chuchu.
- Ace Pilot: While not one of the elite Dueling Committee pilots, Chuchu manages to hold her own in spite of the obsolescence of her suit. The obsolescent frame shows just how good she really is. In Episode 20, she even holds her own against Norea's Gundam.
- Affectionate Nickname: Referred to as "Chuchu".
- Animal Motifs: A mouse. Her short stature, puffy custom jacket, the "Chuchu" nickname,note and gigantic Odango Hair resembling ears all bring to mind a mouse. Not to mention said hairstyle means that if her head were seen in silhouette, it would bear an uncanny resemblance to the world's most famous mouse.
- Berserk Button: Spacians in general are hers, due to how they treat Earthians at the Academy—in Episode 4, Suletta's mere presence in the Earth House dorms pisses her off so much that she has to be literally held back from attacking Suletta. This also extends to bullies, as she literally punches out the two girls that sabotaged Suletta during her makeup exams.
- Bond One-Liner: Well, the target isn't dying but it's the same effect. After sniping Shaddiq's mech (thus ending the team battle with a victory for Earth House,) she says "Don't underestimate Earth House, dumbass."
- Character Development: In the second season, she has to face some very unpleasant realities, such as the absence of her big-sister figure Nika and the fact that the most immediate threat to her friends' well-being is Earthian terrorism. It's later shown in several scenes that she Took a Level in Kindness and is prepared to help the weak and suffering, regardless of whether they're Spacian or Earthian, including the girls who bullied and sabotaged her in Season 1.
- Commonality Connection: She is initially hostile towards Suletta until she discovers they are in quite similar circumstances. After Suletta is sabotaged by the same bullies who sabotaged Chuchu before, and for nearly the same reason (Suletta comes from a "backwater planet" like Mercury while Chuchu comes from Earth, and most Spacians at school don't like either place), she tearfully reveals that she came to Asticassia with hopes of helping others who supported her back home, which is also how Chuchu feels about her friends and family on Earth. Realizing this, Chuchu fights back against the bullies to defend Suletta and later allows her to join Earth House.
- Compressed Hair: She's able to fit her gigantic puffball hairstyle entirely inside of a skintight piloting suit cap, without any sign of their presence.
- Curtains Match the Window: Chuchu sports cotton-candy pink Afro-like puffs and pink eyes. While pink is often a calming color, the Hot-Blooded, combative Ace Pilot is anything but.
- Custom Uniform: Wears a massive jacket over her uniform top and even shorter shorts than Miorine.
- Fantastic Racism: Like most students from Earth House, she's often bullied by or discriminated against by Spacians, and she responds by being the most outwardly hostile towards them among her fellow Earthians. She's made an exception for Suletta, but she barely tolerates Miorine's presence in Earth House. Despite this, even she would not go as far as to kill them or leave them to die, as shown in Episode 14 where she chooses to protect Felsi and a gravely injured Lauda when Asticassia gets attacked instead of fighting Norea and Sophie head on. As Episode 16 shows, she's warmed up to Miorine, too, in recognition of her commitment to the House.
- Fire-Forged Friends: It's a bit on the Vitriolic side, but she and Felsi seem to have become this after the events of episode 20.
- Fragile Speedster: Her Custom Demi Trainer is built for rapid hit and run attacks with extreme high-G acceleration and deceleration. It is built this way because it cannot take a hit due to its obsolete frame.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Miorine does not find Chuchu's treatment of Suletta and herself to be excusable regardless of how other Spacians have treated her.
- Friendly Sniper: Her customized Demi Trainer is set up for long-range fire support and sniping, something that wins GUND-ARM, Inc. its match against Grassley when Chuchu is able to snipe Shaddiq's Michaelis' head.
- Gatling Good: Episode 14 shows that her Demi Trainer can be fielded with this instead of her usual sniper rifle for a more versatile loadout, useful when deployed in an area where she can't find a good sniping position.
- Girly Bruiser: She's short, has pink hair, and an overall adorable design... which contrasts greatly with her Hot-Blooded personality, intense temper, and a right hook that can cause a concussion.
- Hates Rich People: Chuchu's distrust of Spacians is mostly her looking at how Earth has been abandoned by the wealthy and assuming that applies to everyone who permanently lives in space. A major reason she gains a more favorable view of Suletta is learning the people of the Mercury colonies are not much more privileged than Earthians are—and she's much slower to warm up to Miorine, who really is insanely wealthy.
- He Who Fights Monsters: Accused of having fallen into this trope by Miorine, who tells Chuchu that the way she labeled Suletta as a "Shitty Spacian" just for being born in space makes her no different from people who discriminate against Earthians. She does warm up to Suletta by the end of Episode 4, though she is too stubborn to openly apologize.
- Hot-Blooded: Chuchu is brash, confrontational, and does not hesitate to verbally lash out nor get her hands dirty in a fistfight.
- In-Series Nickname: "Chuchu", by default. She later got the nickname "Pom-Pom Head" from people outside Earth House, particularly from Secelia and Felsi. It is implied that it was regularly used behind her back, but only spoken directly to her face by Secelia in episode 20.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chuchu is short-tempered and abrasive, but also willing to stand up for her friends and those she sympathizes with. Later in Episode 14, when Norea and Sophie attack Asticassia, Chuchu decides against gunning for their heads as payback for Plant Quetta, and instead chooses to protect Felsi and a badly-injured Lauda, though she still expresses her dislike for both members of Jeturk House while doing so.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Chuchu rightfully points out to Miorine that just because Gund-Arm, Inc. was created by her, it doesn’t mean she can’t get kicked out. This leads Miorine to further research Gundams to find a viable business method all can be comfortable with.
- The Lad-ette: She's quite grumpy, combative, and tough in personality, and the fourth episode reveals that she considers herself kin to a large crew of manly-looking laborers.
- Mid-Season Upgrade: Episode 20 sees the Earth House dorm destroyed during Norea's rampage and Chuchu's customized Demi Trainer with it. Under the circumstances, Secelia and Rouji choose to loan her Burion's brand new prototype mobile suit, the Demi Barding, to help defend the school.
- Mook Mobile: Her beloved Demi Trainer is an Ace Custom example of one, being of the same product line as the suits that the school uses for training pilots. It frequently shows in fights. The Demi Barding, meanwhile, is more of a Super Prototype, being on level pegging with Jeturk combat suits and boasting a number of handy features.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Stands just over 150cm (not even 5 feet tall) not including the Odango Hair buns, but can cold-cock a bully with a single punch.
- Pistol Whip: During the ninth episode, upon being forced into melee and losing an arm, she attempts to use her suit's sniper rifle as a club. It doesn't work, but A for effort. She does it again in episode 20, so this seems to be a habit of hers.
- Power Stereotype Flip: You'd expect a character with her Hot-Blooded punch-happy proclivities to pilot the most brutal melee combat suit available, but she's actually a sniper whose suit is designed for long-range hit-and-run attacks. It's said in official material that this is largely a decision of practicality; her Demi Trainer is an outdated grunt suit that would stand no chance whatsoever in melee combat, and Earth House has limited funds for repair, and so it's designed around a fighting style that risks as little damage as possible. Of course, she's still willing to try to melee opponents if need be, not that it works out for her when she tries the first time. During the Rumble Ring in Episode 14, she does get to take the field with a gatling gun, which is more in line with her personality.
- Raised by Dudes: Chuchu speaks with her family, a group of Earthian men, in Episode 4, and then reveals that she wants to work hard for her family in Episode 8. It certainly explains her fighting skills.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: It is revealed that the events of Plant Quetta had a nasty mental impact on her, leaving her unable to fight properly in the Rumble Ring; her hand freezes up as soon as she tries to pull the trigger, and she has a clear flashback to some of the fighting she saw there. She does manage to work through it long enough to save some lives, though.
- Shout-Out: Her design and name appear to be a reference to Chu-Chu from Revolutionary Girl Utena.
- Weak, but Skilled: The Demi Trainer is anything but a great suit (as the name implies, it was actually created to give students an easy-to-pilot and low-cost option before giving them access to actual combat suits), and Chuchu's is an obsolete model that was refurbished after they practically fished it out of the dumpster. Every time it gets into any kind of physical scrape, it's only a matter of time before it loses a limb. That said, Chuchu's piloting skills are legit, and she manages to hold her own surprisingly well despite her suit's weaknesses.
- What You Are in the Dark: During the battle in episode 14, Chuchu hears a distress call from Felsi pleading for help to protect an unconscious Lauda. Despite having every opportunity to let a pair of Spacians she hates fend for themselves, Chuchu overcomes her hatred for Spacians and saves them. She does it again in Episode 20, standing side-by-side with Felsi to defend the school. In episode 21, among the students she hands out tomatoes to are the two bullies she punched in episode 4, without hesitation or even any hint of antagonism.

"I'll clean up right away."
A third-year student in the management strategy department who belongs to Earth House and is the current representative of the House.
- Cowardly Lion: He evolves into this by the last arc of Season 2, being willing to put himself in danger while still letting out some undignified screams when danger does come.
- Deadpan Snarker: Martin is kind, but will still have a remark in certain situations.
- Extreme Doormat: Like Nika, he lacks the will to challenge Spacians who are constantly bullying and insulting him and his peers. Unlike Nika, he doesn't have any connections to a terrorist group that would come to light if he was investigated too closely.
- The Generic Guy: Compared to the rest of the Earth House, Martin lacks much in the way of defining quirks. This changes after he turns Nika into the authorities, and spends the next several episodes dealing with the guilt.
- Grew a Spine: Downplayed in Episode 16, he musters up just enough courage to stand up to the Spacians who torment Earth House in misguided retribution for the terrorist attack by Dawn of Fold.
- The Leader: He is the House leader of the Earth House.
- Nice Guy: Martin is truly an affable and upstanding young man.
- Oh, Crap!: In Episode 18, he airs his guilt to a Haro in a small room over being The Stool Pigeon to Nika concerning her ties to Dawn of Fold, only to unexpectedly learn Secilia was on the other side of the wall, having heard everything he said. He ends up yelping in shock over seeing her hear his "confession".
- Secret-Keeper: Episode 13 reveals he has yet to share with anyone what he saw during the attack on Plant Quetta, namely Nika's apparent affiliation with Dawn of Fold, in the hopes of protecting Nika and aiding her in whatever way he can. When the school is attacked in Episode 14, though, he informs the authorities, who also arrest the rest of the House thanks to Nika's connection to them.
- The Stool Pigeon: He eventually rats Nika out when he feels like her secrets are becoming a real danger to everyone. Episode 18 has Secilia learn of his act of betrayal when she overhears Martin airing his guilt over said action and comment on it after she reveals herself.Secilia: You... You're a double-crossing little rat, aren't you?
- Supporting Leader: For Earth House, despite being its nominal head. Suletta and Chuchu are the pilots and when Martin has to fight personally to fill in the numbers of the team, he predictably does a poor job. Nika also plays a major role in decision-making as her Gadgeteer Genius skills allow the House to keep up with the Spacians. Martin is usually in the "supporting team" position. With Miorine becoming the CEO of GUND-ARM Inc. and employing everyone on Earth House, she effectively displaces Martin as the leader, and very little changes in the relationships dynamics of the House.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Witnessing Nika ward off Norea during Dawn of Fold's attack on the Quetta Plant, Martin is visibly shocked by Nika's involvement with the group.Martin: [staring in shock] Nika... what did you... just do?

"You will have trouble with men in the near future."
A third-year student in the mechanical department, who belongs to Earth House. She likes to perform divination readings for her friends.
- Ambiguously Brown: Not to the same extent as Lauda, but her skin is darker than most students. If her name is any indication, she's Iranian.
- Exact Words: Probably unintentional of her part, but her divinations seem to work on this principle. One episode after she predicted Lilique would face boy-related trouble, the poor girl finds herself being antagonized by Renee, because one of her boyfriends had asked Lilique out. Needless to say, this was not the kind of trouble she was expecting.
- Fortune Teller: Is seen divining Suletta's fortune in episode 5, though she is interrupted when Elan calls.
- Friend to All Living Things: She loves the animals from her House, inherited from her hometown.
- Nerves of Steel: During Episode 12 when Dawn of Fold attacks Plant Quetta and the Earth House's ship is nearly destroyed, she and Till are able to keep their composure compared to the rest of Earth House with Aliya comforting a hyperventilating Lilliqe and expressing worry for Suletta and Miorine's absence. She shows her nerve again during the two subsequent attacks on Asticassia by Dawn of Fold's Gundams, particularly the second one, where their garage and dorms are destroyed in the attack. She effectively remains calm, albeit worried, during all of these crises.
- Team Mom: Serves this capacity to her fellow housemates, and it's clearest during Suletta's depression, offering food for comfort to start helping her heal.
- Two First Names: "Aliya" and "Mahvash" are both feminine given names of Iranian origin.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: When Aliya accidentally took Suletta's lunch for Nuno, not knowing he already had one, she inadvertently made Suletta's self-esteem issues worse by making it look like there was no food to her. The only reason the damage was short-lived is Miorine noticing Suletta vanished and tracking her down to confront her.

"Have fun on your date!"
A first-year student in the management strategy department who belongs to Earth House. A sweet girl who is popular with boys.
- Big Beautiful Woman: Is noticeably heavy-set, but this does nothing to hamper her popularity among male students. This actually brings trouble to her when Renee gets jealous and very angry that one of her "back-up boyfriends" asked Lilique out.
- Hidden Depths: She was the one who helped Miorine organize the information and documents needed to formally start her new company, and did a good enough job that Miorine gave her the double responsibility of opening the company's bank account and helping Martin with the registration papers. Subsequent scenes in that episode and the following ones show that she really is good at this kind of job.
- Nice Girl: Has a cheerful and friendly personality, and needed little convincing to accept Suletta isn't like the Spacians who discriminate against Earthians, unlike some of her housemates.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Her house mates are shocked to see Lilique openly being angry and even declaring out loud she doesn't care about their company anymore. It's treated as a confirmation they are in deep trouble after the news that Aerial was used to start a conflict on Earth spread like wildfire.
- The Pollyanna: Very little can get past her positive attitude. When Renee specifically challenges her during the team duel, Lilique happily accepts with a smile. That said, there are some things that can break her positivity; the terrorist attack on Plant Quetta gives the poor girl a full-blown panic attack. Two weeks later, she is still affected by it. She's a lot better at handling the trauma during the two subsequent attacks on Astacassia by Dawn of Fold's Gundams, as she's quick to bounce herself back to help with the rescue operations.
- Thinks Like a Romance Novel: She is very interested in the romantic lives of her peers and is quick to jump to dramatic conclusions regarding Suletta's complicated relationships with Guel and Elan, such as asking her if she rejected Guel because she was already interested in Elan.

"I spoke just now."
A third-year student in the mechanical department, who belongs to Earth House. He is a very quiet person.
- Hidden Depths: When Miorine asks for a decent artist to draw the logo of her new company, the other students turn to him. He also proves to be a decent if inexperienced pilot, coming the closest out of any of the non-pilots to landing a hit on the Grassley aces during their team duel and being the one who carries out Miorine's plan, organizing the winning shot against Shaddiq with the rest of the fallen Earth House team members once their opponents were distracted with Suletta.
- I Resemble That Remark!: Protests against being labeled The Quiet One in a very meek tone, using as few words as possible.
- Nerves of Steel: He doesn't utter a single word of complaint or fear when he participates in the team battle against Grassley House, despite not being a pilot and suffering a total defeat as expected. His attitude starkly contrasts the very vocal objections of Ojelo and Martin. Later in Episode 12 when Dawn of Fold attacks Plant Quetta and the Earth House's ship is nearly destroyed, he and Aliya are able to keep their composure compared to the rest of Earth House with Till taking charge of leading the evacuation.
- Nice Guy: It's not immediately obvious thanks to his quiet behavior, but Till pays close attention when his friends are in distress and will act to help them the best he can. He is the first to notice Suletta is struggling to speak with Miorine in Episode 16, so he raises her hand for her. Later, he is shown to be very understanding towards Martin's dilemma over his role in Nika's arrest, and doesn't begrudge him for it.
- The Quiet One: Introduced as one to Suletta by Aliya, and repeatedly proves it to be true by always having the least amount of dialogue in any group scene in Earth House.
- The Stoic: Not only does he rarely speak, he rarely shows overt emotions too.

- Only in It for the Money: Openly declares that he will only help Miorine's new company if it brings money.
- Those Two Guys: Ojelo is seldom seen apart from Nuno, whose profile calls them "partners in crime."

Jeturk House
In General
Jeturk House. (ジェターク寮, Jetāku Ryō) is a school faction in the Asticassia School of Technology created under Jeturk Heavy Machinery. Its members are composed of heirs to the business, children of employees, and other students that are loyal to the Jeturk faction. Along with Peil House and Grassley House, Jeturk House is one of the top three Houses at Asticassia.
- Alpha Bitch: Felsi and Petra fit the bill as they antagonize Miorine and help Vim fix Guel's rematch with Suletta.
- Aristocrat Team: Guel and Lauda are the sons of the House’s parent company. Everyone else is stated to have ties to Jeturk Heavy Machinery.
- The Beautiful Elite: Guel, his brother Lauda and Petra are especially pleasing on the eyes. Felsi is quite adorable and even Kamil has his fans.
- How the Mighty Have Fallen: At the start of the series, Jeturk Heavy Machinery was a clear and potent frontrunner in the industry, and Jeturk House was arguably the strongest of the trio. By the start of the second season, Guel's repeated humiliation and eventual disappearance, Vim's death, Lauda's leadership flagging having to deal with the fallout as acting CEO, and a host of other issues has left Jeturk in dire straits, with news reports suggesting that the company is on the verge of bankruptcy—Guel is even dismissed as worthless as a hostage by one of the kids in the care of Dawn of Fold.
- Jerkass: Beside Kamil, every member has been portrayed engaging in such behavior, though Guel has largely grown out of it.

"My brother doesn't need tricks like that to win."
A third year in the piloting department. He is the deputy head of Jeturk House and Guel's younger half-brother. Unlike his older brother, he is calm and rational.
- Ace Custom: He pilots a Dilanza that has a pair of shoulder shields and a huge axe. Guel takes it to duel Elan before Lauda himself pilots it during the Rumble Ring.
- Ambiguously Brown: His skin is darker than most students of the academy.
- Big Brother Worship: Lauda is shown to hold his brother in high regard, becoming quite vindictive towards Suletta because he sees her as the cause of Guel's downfall. However, his care for his older brother even causes him to drop any outward hostility towards Suletta when Guel goes missing, focusing only on finding his brother. This extends to the point that when he hears of Guel's role in their father's death, rather than blaming Guel he goes out of his way to blame Miorine for, in his mind, putting Guel in that situation in the first place — even as he lambasts Guel for being too proud and self-absorbed in his tendency to accept blame for things, he still points to Miorine "reviving" Gundams as the reason why Guel's lost his way.
- Bystander Syndrome: He doesn't encourage his brother's Jerkass tendencies nor does he seem happy about them, but when Guel begins to destroy Miorine's garden in retaliation for her insulting him, Lauda pointedly refused to stop him and tells Suletta to stop him herself. He also does little to defend his brother from the abuse heaped on him by their father.
- Cain and Abel: In the final few episodes of the second season, he becomes the Cain to Guel's Abel. Interestingly, this is not out of anger or hatred at Guel personally, but at Miorine, who Guel is allied with and willing to fight for.
- Character Development: In the negative direction. He starts out a standard, if harmless Jerkass who keeps doubling down on his behavior until he decides to attempt to commit murder.
- Character Tics: Lauda often strokes a lock of his hair between his fingers.
- Close-Range Combatant: The fact that his personal Dilanza's primary armament is a large battleaxe speaks for itself.
- Extreme Doormat: He is visibly unhappy with the orders he receives from his father, but unlike his brother, he always obeys.
- Face–Heel Turn: Lauda becomes dead set on killing Miorine with Schwarzette while everyone else is focused on dealing with Quiet Zero. This lasts about a little more than a single episode, until he nearly kills Guel (and himself, by using the GUND-Format) as a result of his brazen, misguided quest for vengeance. He gets a little better after that.
- Fatal Flaw: His driving problem is his inability to see any faults in Guel. Whenever something goes wrong for Guel, be it Guel's own fault or not, Lauda will blame someone else, no matter how many logical hoops he has to jump through to justify it. It gets to the point where, after learning of Guel's role in the death of their father, he blames Miorine for getting too close to Guel, rather than confronting Guel about it. In Lauda's eyes, he's perfectly justified in going after Miorine in the Schwarzette; he's simply trying to save Guel from a manipulative vixen that has thoroughly ensnared him.
- Faint in Shock: With a mixture of exhaustion and joy, he ends up fainting when Guel returns from his self-imposed exile.
- Foil: Serves as one to Suletta in the closing episodes of the second season when they both come into conflict with their older siblings. They both dearly love their families, but Lauda's worship of his older brother causes him to project his frustrations and lash out at others, in contrast to Suletta being more willing to see the faults in what her sister is doing, leading her to reach out to try and talk her down.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Played for drama. Unlike so many other characters late in the series, he only has small nuggets of information on what is actually going on behind the scenes and thus lacks a complete picture. This, mixed with his own personal flaws, leads to him making some very questionable decisions.
- The Maiden Name Debate: Unlike his father and half-brother, Lauda has a different last name, presumably his mother's. He briefly assumes the Jeturk name during his final battle with Guel, though this is in a blind rage.
- Misplaced Retribution: After the destruction of the school, Petra's severe injuries in the wake of said destruction, and learning the truth about Guel being their father's killer, Lauda blames Miorine for everything that has affected his family since she was the one who revived the Gundams.
- My God, What Have I Done?: The final charge between him and Guel ends with the latter deactivating his beam saber before the clash, resulting in Lauda impaling the Dilanza right next to the cockpit. While it's not damage that will cause instant destruction, it's still a killing blow, and Lauda is immediately horrified by what he's done. Fortunately, Felsi steps in to patch the damage with suppression rounds before the Dilanza can explode with Guel inside.
- Not So Stoic: His normal calm and collected personality breaks a bit during the duel in episode 9, when Shaddiq and the rest of Grassley House have Suletta cornered; he gleefully cheers for her defeat, indicating that Guel's losses to Suletta bothered him far more than he let on.
- Pet the Dog: In Episode 18, despite coming to Miorine's greenhouse to rub Suletta's losses in her face following the events of Episode 17, he expresses that he has no intention of starting a conflict and genuinely thanks Chuchu for saving his life during the Rumble Ring incident back in Episode 14.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Lauda is the composed and a rather logical Blue Oni to his elder brother's rash and violent Red Oni.
- Revenge Before Reason: He wants Miorine dead for all the misfortune that has fallen on his family. He even hijacks Gundam Schwarzette so he can kill her while she's on a ship heading to Quiet Zero to stop Prospera. Guel stops him before he can shoot the ship down, leading Lauda to angrily ask his brother if he's still obsessed with Miorine.
- The Resenter: He blames Suletta for all the misfortune that has befallen his family — especially his brother — and as such, displays no end of barely veiled hatred towards her. Once he learns of the truth of his father's death, he then shifts his hatred towards Miorine, blaming her for how much Guel's changed since his return to Asticassia.
- Retirony: He intends to make the duel in Episode 14 his final one before he's forced to leave his role as a student to step up as the CEO of Jeturk Heavy Machinery. Sure enough, he ends up being attacked and nearly killed by Sophie mid-match.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Lauda is the snooty Sensitive Guy to Guel's hotheaded Manly Man.
- Shared Family Quirks: Lauda's hair-stroking Character Tic is apparently genetic as his father does the same in Episode 1. The unnamed Jeturk grandfather in Prologue similarly plays with his moustache.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Where Guel is brash, arrogant, and entitled, Lauda is collected, almost effeminate, and snobby.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Despite his minimal role and appearances, Lauda's dare to Suletta to stop his brother from terrorizing Miorine is what causes Suletta to challenge Guel to a duel with her Gundam, resulting in her becoming the Holder, exposing Aerial to the public, and kickstarting the story's chain of events from that point onward.
- Spare to the Throne: After Guel's fall from grace, Lauda is effectively treated as Guel's replacement.
- Start of Darkness: Lauda did not take the truth of learning his brother inadvertently killing their father all too well. And in the aftermath of Norea's rampage that resulted in Petra sustaining near-fatal injuries, he pilots the Schwarzette with one goal in mind: kill Miorine. Thankfully, this is subverted in the end after Guel's attempted sacrifice to disable the Schwarzette's GUND-Format, where the former talks Lauda down and reaffirms his care for him.
- Token Evil Teammate: Though Jeturk is introduced as the asshole house, all its members start showing off Hidden Depths or developing to be more likeable. Lauda, meanwhile, just keeps getting worse.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: After taking Guel's place as the head of his dormitory, he starts acting like an irritable Jerkass whenever Suletta is concerned, as he blames her for his brother being expelled from Jeturk House. As the series goes on, he doubles down on his behavior, degrading Suletta even as Guel grows fond of the girl, and also blaming Miorine for events beyond her control, which contrasts with how his housemates grow into better people. In episode 18 especially, he goes to thank Chuchu for saving him earlier, but takes the time to insult Suletta and rub salt in the wound for her recent loss. Notably, Felsi, who started the series as a much worse bully than Lauda, is much more courteous and gives a more genuine thanks.
- Ungrateful Bastard: While he shows gratitude toward Chuchu for saving his life, he never extends the same courtesy towards Suletta. Petra is the one who ends up thanking Suletta for saving Lauda.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom:
- His Bystander Syndrome in regards to his brother's Jerkass behaviour and daring Suletta to do something about it if it bothers her so much is essentially what kickstarts Guel and the Jeturk family's Humiliation Conga.
- Because Lauda deliberately held off on finalizing Guel's explusion, Guel is able to re-enroll at Asticassia. This also makes him eligible to duel against Suletta one more time before Miorine's 17th birthday. Miorine uses this to her advantage by promising to support Guel's efforts to rebuild Jeturk Heavy Industries, if he in turn supports her bid for Benerit Group president, and she ensures that Guel wins by sabotaging Suletta—which costs Suletta Aerial, her status as Holder, and her engagement to Miorine.
- Undying Loyalty: Lauda's loyalty to Guel is practically unshakeable; his grudge against Suletta is so strong because he blames her for ruining Guel's reputation and eroding the strength of the Jeturk name, but he never blames Guel even once. When Guel finally returns to space, Lauda immediately gives control of the Jeturk family, Jeturk House, and Jeturk Heavy Industries back to his brother without hesitation; additionally, it turns out that Lauda defied his father's order to fully expel Guel from Asticassia. Even after learning that Guel was responsible for killing Vim, Lauda jumps straight to blaming Miorine as the root cause of everything that's happened, including how Guel has "changed", rather than blame Guel for any wrongdoing. Episode 23 implies that the source of said loyalty is because Guel accepted him as a brother, wholeheartedly and without hesitation, when they first met as children.
- What Does She See in Him?: Asks this about his brother Guel in Episode 7 when he witnesses Suletta's clumsiness and nervousness at the Incubation Party.
- You Are in Command Now: In episode six, he's promoted to the official head of Jeturk House after Guel is evicted. At the start of season two, he's the acting CEO of the whole company after the death of his father. Once Guel returns to Asticassia and Jeturk House, Lauda gracefully cedes all of his positions back to Guel, taking up his role as Guel's Number Two once more.

- Artificial Limbs: In the Distant Finale, she's shown using prosthetic legs, having lost hers in the attack on Asticassia, and is on the short-list to be tested for more advanced GUND legs.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite being introduced as Guel's Girl Posse, Petra and Felsi show genuine care for him, being concerned when he accepts a duel against Elan despite being banned from duelling, and being horrified when Guel is kicked out of Jeturk House. In Episode 10, she openly shows concern regarding Guel's whereabouts after he runs away, and in episode 16, she is clearly relieved to see him, smiling softly as she welcomes him back.
- The Bully: Like Felsi, she enjoys belittling Miorine and laughing at her shortcomings.
- Divergent Character Evolution: In the second season, she starts moving away from being part of a double act with Felsi, as she starts to work as Lauda's assistant and gets more scenes with him and Guel when Felsi isn't around.
- Jerkass: When Guel begins to destroy Miorine's garden in retaliation for her insulting him, Petra not only laughs but sarcastically tells Miorine to not give up.
- Number Two: Following Guel’s disappearance, she more or less became Lauda’s number two.
- The Resenter: Following Guel's fall from grace and subsequently running away, she is shown to be resentful towards Suletta for defeating him, and thinks Guel would still be around if it wasn't for her. This is dropped by Episode 20, when she approaches Suletta in the classroom, after the latter has already lost the Holder title back to Guel, and is also facing harassment from other students for Aerial's attack on Earth and willingly shares her notes, expressing gratitude for Suletta helping stop the Dawn of Fold's attack in episode 14.
- Ship Tease: Episode 14 strongly implies she has a crush on Lauda. Episode 17 goes further, with Petra's conversation with Felsi implying they have been dating for a while.

- Took a Level in Kindness: In the second season, she stops being a jerk and becomes nicer to Suletta after she lost her Holder title and is being harrassed by others for Aerial's attack on Earth, out of gratitude for Suletta stopping the Gundams' attack, and thus saving all their lives. That being said, Petra is still slightly a Tsundere about it, as Suletta's innocent prodding about her relationship with Lauda annoys her a bit, pointing out that's why she rubbed her and housemates the wrong way at the start.
- Uncertain Doom: Suletta finds Petra, lying down bleeding after getting crushed by fallen debris when one of Norea's Gundvolvas destroys the school building. While Lauda is shocked when he received the news about what had happened, Petra's fate remains unclear. Episode 21 reveals she survived, albeit in critical condition, while the Distant Finale shows she eventually recovered, but that she had to have her legs amputated.
- When She Smiles: When Guel returns in Episode 16, Petra shows a genuine smile of happiness rather than a mocking one she usually sports.

- Curtains Match the Window: Her hair is beige and her eyes are a dull gold, giving a similar impression.

- Hidden Depths:
- Over time, it's shown that she is a lot more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold than she first appears, and episode 20 shows that she is not lacking in courage as she willingly gears up to fight Norea alone.
- While she respects Guel and Lauda (Guel much more so, as her loyalty to him is much stronger and she even fawns over him a bit sometimes), she's not above calling either of them out for being too reckless, angrily scolding both of them when Guel nearly gets himself killed trying to disable the Gundam Schwarzette while Lauda was attacking him in a frenzied rage.

- When She Smiles: After thanking Chuchu for saving her and Lauda, she gives a very brief but noticeable adorable smile.

A third-year mechanic in the Jeturk dormitory. He is the chief mechanic, and he organizes the students in the dormitory with his high leadership skills.
- The Big Guy: He is the most physically intimidating member of Jeturk House.
- Bit Character: His appearances are infrequent and he is never the focus of any scene. Having a name and a unique character design makes him stand out among the background crowd, but his role in the story isn't that different from them.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Kamil first shows up in Episode 1, helping Guel ready up his Dilanza for his duel with Suletta.
- The Engineer: Kamil is the third mechanic in Jeturk House that the audience is introduced to.
- The Leader: He is Jeturk's chief mechanic.
- Token Good Teammate: At the start of the series, he was the only member of the Jeturk House that didn't exhibit any Jerkass behavior to anyone.
Grassley House
In General
Grassley House. (グラスレー寮, Gurasurē Ryō) is a school faction in the Asticassia School of Technology formed by Grassley Defense Systems with its employees' children serving as House members. Along with Peil House and Jeturk House, Grassley House is one of the top three Houses at Asticassia.
- Amazon Brigade: Apart from its House Leader, every member so far is female. Their first shown duel is a 6-vs-6 where all of them fight alongside Shaddiq at once.
- Aristocrat Team: The House is comprised of the children of Grassley Defense Systems’ employees and is led by the adopted son of the CEO. Subverted when it's revealed all named members of the House are Earthians who were part of an adoption program.
- Combat and Support: Curiously, Subverted. Every single member of Grassley House so far introduced to the audience is a piloting student.
- Dude Magnet: All of them have dedicated fanclubs eagerly cheering them on during duels, though Shaddiq and Sabina's are comprised of women.
- Going Native: Every member of Grassley House are Earthians by birth, but they act entirely like the children of Spacian aristocrats who belong at Asticassia. The only indicator that they are even Earthian at all is that Sabina says it outright. This is intentional on their part, as they still want to help Earth but know that the best way to do that is to use Spacian privilege.
- Heel–Face Turn: They all become Miorine's assistants in the epilogue.
- Identically Powered Team: Unlike other Houses, every member of Grassley House introduced so far is a mobile suit pilot.
- Meaningful Appearance: The Grassley House girls are by far some of the most feminine and fashionable characters in the show, which is notable when you realize that Earthians like them are typically associated with masculine and practical clothing. In the epilogue, when they are no longer upholding the facade of being Spacian aristocracy, they have all switched to practical suits.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: The more extreme Shaddiq's actions become, the more his Amazon Brigade starts resembling this trope, as they keep their unique personality traits even as they help Shaddiq perform criminal acts for the sake of his goals.
- Satellite Character: Sabina and Renee are the only ones to get significant interactions with people outside Grassley House. The other three are never given any interpersonal relationships besides their loyalty to Shaddiq and their friendship with each other.

- Custom Uniform: She sports a pair of white gloves, a half-cape hung on her right shoulder, slightly shorter shorts than the standard uniform and thigh-high boots with grey tights.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Sabina first appears in Episode 2, when Elan and Shaddiq are speaking to each other, but doesn't become a recurring character until all of Shaddiq's supporters are introduced at the end of Episode 8.
- Even the Girls Want Her: While the rest of Grassley's Amazon Brigade have hordes of fanboys each, she has a classroom full of girls cheering for her.
- Foil: To Nika. Both are Earthians working for Shaddiq, but while Nika is unhappy about working for him and seeks a peaceful method to build a bridge between Earth and space, Sabina is loyal to him and is willing to use violence to build said bridge.
- The Lancer: As Shaddiq's right-hand with a more serious personality, it falls to her to pick off where he leaves off and assist him in leading. Though with Shaddiq becoming more villainous as time goes, Sabina ends up looking more like The Dragon
- Number Two: Sabina is the House Leader's assistant.
- Pet the Dog: She stops Norea from beating Nika to death. While she claims it's because Shaddiq wants her alive, the next episode shows that Sabina genuinely sympathizes with her.

"I'll show you what happens when you lay hands on another girl's man!"
A second-year pilot student in the Grassley dormitory. She is one of the female students who support Shaddiq. Although she appears to be cheerful, she is a black-hearted person with distinctly different attitudes towards girls than boys.
- The Casanova: She is extremely popular with male students, seen flirting on her phone and planning a date moments before a duel. She challenges Lilique personally because her 12th "Back-Up Boyfriend" asked Lilique out.
- Curtains Match the Window: Yellowish-beige hair to go with golden eyes.
- Custom Uniform: Her uniform jacket is completely unzipped, the left leg of her shorts is rolled higher than the right and she has a sleeveless top with a see-through undergarment under her jacket, along with a pair of fingerless black gloves.
- Cute Little Fangs: Like Felsi, Renee sports a pair of these.
- Disproportionate Retribution: She specifically guns for Lilique in the team duel for the sole reason that Lilique turned down her 12th Back-Up Boyfriend, which she took as a slight against him and by extension herself.
- Evil Counterpart: She is nigh-identical to Felsi in almost all respects, but Renee is in on Shaddiq's plan and has no issue letting terrorists kill innocent people, whereas Felsi is just a bully who over time proves herself to be more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

- Full-Name Basis: She refers to Lilique with her full name.
- Girlish Pigtails: Renee wears her hair in this style, emphasizing her superficially cheerful personality.
- Identical Stranger: While there are subtle differences, Renee looks similar enough to Felsi that it can be hard to tell that she's a different person unless they're seen side-by-side, and not just Felsi wearing a different hairstyle. Ironically, Episode 13 reveals they hate each other.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Exaggerated. She is angry at Lilique because Renee's 12th backup boyfriend asked her out. And Lilique turned him down.
- Unknown Rival: In episode 9, she tells Lilique that she's joining the team duel to finally show who of the two of them is the best. Lilique has no idea what she's talking about. Turns out she was talking about one of her "Back-Up Boyfriends" asking her out. Lilique remembers that, though that piece of info about who he was to Renee was obviously news to her.
