[[File:banagher_2576.jpg|frame]]

 

A sixteen-year-old student attending Anaheim Electronics Industrial College alongside his friends, Banagher seems to have a happy enough life despite essentially living on the school's suffrage thanks to [[Disappeared Dad|having no contact with his father]] and [[Missing Mom|his mother dying when he was young]]. His life drastically changes when he encounters Audrey, a young woman who seeks to prevent a war. His instant devotion to her results in him [[Falling Into the Cockpit]] of the Unicorn Gundam, becoming embroiled in a resurgent conflict between the Earth Federation Forces and [[The Remnant]] of [[Chars Counterattack|Char's Neo-Zeon movement]], now known as the Sleeves.

* {{spoiler|[[Identical Grandson]]: The young Syam Vist seen in the prologue looks exactly like him.}}

* [[I Will Protect Her]]: Possibly nearing Type 6, indicating from Banagher's conversation with Cardeas Vist.

* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Which only hurt him even more when he got [[Refused by the Call]] by his [[Protectorate]].

* [[Kid Hero]]

* [[Reckless Pacifist]]: Though given that his only weapon is an immensely powerful [[Humongous Mecha]] with a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], it's not really his fault.

* [[Refused by the Call]]: In episode one:

[''Banagher has [[Heroic BSOD]]''] }}

* [[Say My Name]]: "Audrey!"

* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Goes out of his way to avoid killing enemy pilots. [[My God, What Have I Done?|Doesn't always succeed.]]

* [[Troubled but Cute]]

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:

** Banagher delivers this several times, towards Cardeas Vist when Industrial 7 is attacked, towards Audrey when she attempts to get Banagher to escape with her from the ''Nahael Argama'' and when she persuades Daguza to shoot her when her identity as {{spoiler|Mineva Lao Zabi}} is revealed, to Daguza (see below) for involving Audrey in the conflict, and finally to Full Frontal.

** In fact, Marida speculates that this is precisely why he is the most worthy pilot of the Unicorn--the best person to shape the destiny of the Universal Century is one capable of finding their own answers beyond the ideologies and propaganda of the two warring factions.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]

* [[Wish Fulfillment]]: Banagher really, ''really'' wants to be needed by [[The Dulcinea Effect|the girl he met five minutes ago]].

'''Banagher:''' I don't have that resolve. No, all I know is I need her to need me. }}

[[File:audrey_7960.jpg|frame]]

 

A mysterious young woman involved with the Sleeves, who encounters Banagher while trying to prevent them from starting a war. Accepting his help, the two dodge the Sleeves while trying to contact the mysterious Vist Foundation. Eventually revealed {{spoiler|to be Minerva Lao Zabi, the last survivor of the Zeon "royal family."}} Despite this, her goal is no more or less than preventing a war from breaking out, by whatever means necessary.

* [[Rags to Royalty]]: {{spoiler|[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White]] Style -- Audrey is a princess who is forced to go into hiding, is aware of her royal ancestry, and (had) attempted to hide her royalty and pretend to be a commoner. Subverted only because she hasn't officially reclaimed her royal title as of yet. And given the context of what doing so would mean (reclaiming the Zabi name would not be a good thing), it's rather doubtful that she ever would.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Tomboy Princess]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]]}}: Implied by Banagher as it becomes evident that Audrey is willing to give up her life to prevent another war and has no care for her own desires or welfare.

A rather experienced middle aged woman and the ''Nahael Argama's'' executive officer, frequently offers "suggestions" to acting captain Otto Mitas, often with some well hidden snark attached.

 

* [[Number Two]]: The ''Nahael Argama's'' executive officer.

In reality, she is actually {{spoiler|Ple Twelve, one of Glemmy Toto's cyber newtype clones from the [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|First Neo-Zeon War]]}}.
