* BadDreams: During a discussion with the squadron medical officer, Dyer notes he has nightmares about Taurus mobile dolls, and actually offers a reason why he thinks they feature rather than Virgos.
** Specifically, Virgos are genuinely hard to kill because of their shields and can simply outlast a human pilot. Losing to a Taurus doll, on the other hand, means you weren't skilled enough to outfly it.

She also reflects on the curative power of actually having the chance to kill the things you have nightmares about during ''On Burner'' after she kills a Tian'Lung Gundam.

!!'''Zechs Merquise'''
Zechs Merquise tried to kill much of humanity. Humanity has not forgiven or forgotten this, and in AC 198 Zechs is something of a wreck; no one trusts him or likes him, and he is at best tolerated. He believes that he deserves this, but at the same time his personal ego and his princely status have conditioned him to a certain level of respect. He will be respected again...even if he has to win that respect at the point of a beamsaber.

The lone survivor of the Io Militia squadron that was part of the first attack wave against Mars, she's largely responsible for the fact any of the first wave survived by having secured them a safe landing zone with air, water, and a place they could actually sleep.

Focht was killed when he opted to hold a 900-kilo bomb in place against Tallgeese III to detonation, while he was grappling with it. Because of how badly his suit was damaged in that scene, it's possible he deliberately chose a suicidal course of action rather than letting the rest of the unit try to rescue him.
