nihongo|Meyrin Hawke|メイリン・ホーク|Meirin Hooku is a fictional character in the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny" anime series.

Gundam SEED Destiny

Meyrin is the "Minerva"'s communications controller and the youngest member of its bridge crew. She is the younger sister of Lunamaria Hawke. Their sibling relationship appears normal, though Meyrin may have an inferiority complex towards her older sister. In one episode, while her sister is in the shower, Meyrin tries to put on Lunamaria's skirt and is displeased when it is too small for her and during this scene Meyrin says how highly she thinks of Athrun Zala.

On the "Minerva": Attraction to Athrun

Meyrin is attracted to Athrun; however, unlike her older sister, Meyrin is much less open in displaying signs of affection, presumably due to her shy nature. In episode 36, at the Gibraltar military base, Athrun is framed as a traitor. To avoid pursuit he ducks into Meyrin's room, then plans to leave rather than implicate her. However, Meyrin helps Athrun escape by lying to the men chasing him so they would think she was alone in her room, hacking base security to set off a false alarm, and driving Athrun to a hangar where he can steal a mobile suit. Although Meyrin does not originally intend to escape with Athrun, she chooses to join him when they are discovered by Rey Za Burrel.

The two attempt to escape in a ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited, but are pursued by Rey and Shinn Asuka in their new mobile suits, the ZGMF-X666S Legend and ZGMF-X42S Destiny, respectively. The GOUF Ignited is destroyed by Shinn and crashes into sea. Gilbert Durandal frames Meyrin and Athrun, who are thought to be dead, as being agents of Logos.

Clyne Faction

Luckily, Meyrin and Athrun both survive, though they are injured. Though Athrun suffers more physical injuries, Meyrin has to deal with an infection and high fever caused by her injuries. They are rescued by Ledonir Kisaka, who brings them to the "Archangel". Once she recovers from her injuries, Meyrin takes care of Athrun until he recovers and the two become closer. Later, Cagalli Yula Athha, who has stopped wearing Athrun's engagement ring, asks Meyrin to take care of Athrun just before the "Archangel" launches into space. Crying, Cagalli stays behind to lead Orb.

Meyrin accompanies Athrun, Lacus Clyne, and Kira Yamato on a fact-finding mission into Copernicus disguised as a shopping trip. While there, Lacus receives a desperate message from Meer Campbell, Lacus' impersonator. While Meyrin and Athrun both suspect it is a trap, Lacus insists on going.

At the meeting, they are attacked by several men, who are led by Meer's bodyguard, Sarah. Athrun deals with most of the attackers while Meyrin and Kira protect Lacus and Meer, at one point even managing to shoot a grenade that was intended for Lacus out of mid-air back at Sarah. Meer is mortally wounded by a bullet intended for Lacus, but Meyrin and the others are unharmed. Meyrin joins the "Archangel" crew in their impromptu funeral for Meer and then she, Athrun, Kira, and Lacus read Meer's diary.

Meyrin is then assigned as the CIC of the "Eternal", the same post she previously held on the "Minerva". During The Battle of Messiah, Meyrin communicates with her sister Lunamaria, as she was about to fire on the "Eternal", and persuades Lunamaria to stop her attack on the ship. Lunamaria is surprised to find that her sister is still alive and though she still thinks Athrun is a member of Logos who has deceived Meyrin, Lunamaria does not attack the "Eternal".

After the war, in "Gundam SEED Destiny: Final Plus", Meyrin accompanies Athrun to visit the memorial for the fallen in Orb. They meet Shinn and Lunamaria there and are later joined by Kira and Lacus. Meyrin and Athrun appear to have made peace with Lunamaria and Shinn, and the two leave together.
