Yuuna Nouzen (ユウナ・ノウゼン Yuuna Nouzen?), née Maika (マイカ Maika?) was a minor character in the 86 -Eighty Six- series.
She was the mother of Shinei and Shourei Nouzen, as well as the wife of Reisha Nouzen. Yuuna originally hailed from the Maika Clan, being the daughter of Gelda Maika.
Appearance[]
Yuuna is a middle-aged woman with long red hair and red eyes of a Pyrope. She also wore glasses. During Fido's video montage, she is seen wearing a white sweater.
Personality[]
Yuuna seems to be a loving wife to Reisha to the point that she was willing to abandon the Maika Clan and the Giadian Empire for his sake. She is also seen as a loving mother, as she liked to play games with Rei and Shin in which they would try to guess what she was thinking behind a curtain. Her love for her children was also expressed after she was conscripted by the Republic of San Magnolia to fight against the Legion, in the hope that her children might be free one day.
Chronology[]
Yuuna was born into the Maika Clan, a noble clan in the Giadian Empire.
At some point in time she met Reisha, a son of the Onyx Nouzen Clan, and fell in love. Their romance was not blessed, as the traditions of noble purity were still being upheld by both Nouzen and Maika. Marrying outside their race was forbidden, even more scandalous was the matrimony of an Onyx and a Pyrope. Thus, their decision to marry each other garnered their exile. Unable to stay in the Giadian Empire, the couple had to move to the Republic of San Magnolia, eventually being blessed with their first son, Shourei.
After immigrating to Liberté et Égalité, they met Josef von Penrose, a neuroscientist who befriended Reisha while he was studying at the university. As they were neighbors, Yuuna's second son Shinei would often play with Josef's daughter Rita.
Reisha and Josef initially developed the Para-RAID system after Josef had taken an interest in the ESP seen in Yuuna, Rei, and Shin. Josef set up experiments where the brothers would attempt to guess what their mother was thinking behind a curtain while wearing the headgear he made. While the experiments were light-hearted in the beginning, things changed when the military found out about the experiments as the war with the Legion was waging on, and they needed an alternative wireless communication system[2]
After the enactment of the Special Wartime Peace Preservation Act, Josef provided shelter for the Nouzen family until his daughter opposed it. This resulted in the entire family being shipped off to the Eighty-Sixth Sector. After the death of Reisha by the hands of the Legion, Yuuna soon enlisted to fight against the Legion, becoming a processor in exchange for her son's rights. She eventually died during combat against the Legion.
Abilities[]
Yuuna possesses the genetic ability of telepathy of the Maika Clan as she is able to hear the unspoken words of her relatives. She used this ability to communicate with her sons through telepathy.
It has been implied that she was somewhat taught to to pilot a Feldreẞ.

Gelda Maika[]
Gelda Maika is the mother of Yuuna, and is the current head of the Maika Clan. What kind of relationship they had is unknown but at least Gelda still thinks fondly of her daughter, as seen when the old lady comments on Shin having the same face and eyes as his mother.
Reisha Nouzen[]
Reisha Nouzen is her husband from the Nouzen Clan. Despite their different ethnic backgrounds and the stance of the Nouzen Clan of maintaining their racial purity, she still loved him.
Shinei Nouzen[]
Shinei is Yuuna's youngest son.
Shourei Nouzen[]
Shourei Nouzen is Yuuna's eldest son. When Shourei heard the news of Yuuna's demise at the hand of the Legion, he snapped at his younger brother Shinei by strangling him. This was also partially because of the stress of the internment camps and his imminent conscription, following Yuuna's death.
