Profile

Allenby is a seventeen year old Gundam Fighter for Neo-Sweden. Orphaned at a very early age, she was raised by her nation's military where she holds the rank of Lieutenant. Allenby's life was not a happy one as the military used her in their tests to create the perfect Gundam Fighter. This was achieved by use of the Berzerker System, a special brainwashing system designed to turn Allenby into a crazed brute with a 120% increase in performance. Due to this, Allenby hated the military; she felt that it was unfair to be their puppet and wanted to have the own life that she was denied by them.

Allenby fared well in the Survival Eleven of the 13th Gundam Fight and made it to the finals in Neo-Hong Kong. Despite her own talents in combat, her nation's default strategy was to activate the Berzerker System as soon as possible and thus allow Allenby and her GF13-050NSW Nobel Gundam (Noble Gundam in the English adaption) a quick victory. It was during one such occasion after having beaten Argo Gulskii and his GF13-013NR Bolt Gundam that she came to the attention of Domon Kasshu.

Domon first encountered her in a video arcade where she was using her fighting skills to beat all competitors at a virtual reality fighting game. Impressed, Domon challenged her and the subsequent clash of two professional fighters using a machine meant for civilians blew the game up. As Allenby fled the chaos she revealed her identity to her opponent, much to Domon's surprise.

The next time they met, Domon and Allenby were forced to fight each other in an official match. One of the doctors in the team activated the Berserker System since she was losing, causing Allenby to lose control of herself and start beating up Domon, but he broke through it and brought his new friend back to her senses; she managed to break free of the system but subsequently collapsed, losing the fight.

Allenby spent her time hanging out with Domon (to the chagrin of Rain, who hid her feelings of distress as much as she could) and developed a crush on him (even admitting to it in the final episode) until Wong Yun Fat decided to make her the new pilot for the Devil Gundam. During a team tag fight where Domon was her partner, she was forced to go into Berserker Mode (one of the scientists in charge of her was taken hostage and tortured by Wong's henchmen) and ended up seriously injured, only to be kidnapped by Wong's henchmen and placed in the cockpit of the Walter Gundam. Under the influence of both the Berzerker Mode and DG Cells, she relentlessly attacked Domon and later Rain in the Battle Royale stage; Rain managed to seemingly destroy the Walter Gundam without killing Allenby, and her newly reformed father tended to her wounds and healed her from the DG Cells.

Now back to her senses and completely free, Allenby told Domon about Rain leaving to Neo-Japan. After urging him to go after her, she joined the final fight against the Devil Gundam, playing a key role as both she and Kyral (of Neo-Nepal) lead the attack on the Devil Gundam. Later, she convinced Domon to speak to Rain (now the Seitai Unit of the Devil Gundam) and save her through their love.

She is heavily based on Four Murasume from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, even sharing the same voice actress in the US dub.
