Mylene Flare Jenius

Mylene is the seventh and youngest daughter of Maximilian Jenius and Milia Fallyna Jenius, the human and Zentradi couple (respectively) from the series The Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Both are war heroes during Space War I and over the years have raised a large family together. Mylene is the youngest child, born in February 2031. At the beginning of the series Macross 7, set in 2045 (approximately 34 years after the original Macross series), she is 14 years old and living in an apartment of her own aboard the eponymous spaceship City 7, a massive city ship carrying over one million people and escorted by a large battlefleet, led by Battle 7. Her parents (Max is the captain of Battle 7 and Milia is the mayor of the domed City 7) are also aboard but are now separated. All of their other children, now aged between 19 and 34, have moved away from City 7, leaving Mylene's parents to focus all of their protective instincts and concerns on her. Mylene is the only Jenius child to have pink hair but she has her mother's green eyes.

She has long pink hair and small pointy ears. Her eyes are green. She has a small, slim body with small breasts and butt. Her skin is white and she also tall about 153.3 cm and usually wears a rather slutty outfit to her performances. A pink leotard which leaves her thighs fully bare.

Mylene proved to be as willful as her parents. Her mother wanted her to settle down and marry career fighter pilot Gamlin Kizaki, a protégé of hers, despite the fact that Mylene was only 14 and didn't want to get married yet. In episode 6, Milia arranged an Omiai, a Japanese custom where individuals are introduced to each other to consider the possibility of marriage. Mylene, though apprehensive, agreed to meet him to appease her mother. Once they actually met, the two became good friends, and Gamlin started to fall in love with her, becoming protective of her.

Her father was worried about her wild nature as well. However, what Mylene wanted to be was to be a rock star, so against her parents' wishes, she joined the rock band Fire Bomber as a bassist and vocalist. It soon emerged that she inherited her parents' natural piloting skills and could pilot a variable fighter extremely well; though all were initially opposed to a young girl facing such danger, she was ultimately allowed to join Sound Force, piloting her own customized VF-11MAXL Thunderbolt Custom whose control systems have been modified to resemble an electric bass guitar.

Mylene is a cheerful yet headstrong young girl, still unsure of her own feelings. On one hand she liked and admired Gamlin Kizaki, the man her mother chose for her, and enjoys their uncomplicated and, for the most part, platonic relationship. However, she was also fascinated by Fire Bomber's lead vocalist/guitarist Basara Nekki, despite his constant selfishness and rudeness to her; she nagged him constantly, and became jealous whenever she saw him with another woman. When it was suggested that Basara and Rex (a female biker who is a fan of Fire Bomber) were physically involved, she immediately became jealous, although she refused to admit it.

This lead to one of the Macross universe's infamous love triangles, and she was relieved when the two men ended their bickering and became friends, though her hatred of uncertainty—in this case, whom she loved more—became a source of endless frustration for her (as well as her mother).

Being the daughter of two of the most famous elite pilots from Space War I, Mylene has been around variable fighters for most of her life, and as a result can adapt to models old and new and use all of them to full capacity, even ones with a unique control scheme like Basara's Fire Valkyrie. However, her penchant for emotional outbursts can sometimes affect her judgment, leading to her getting shot down on occasion.

Her skill as a bass guitar player is quite notable, but her voice also has a powerful yet calming tone to it that adds a new dimension to Fire Bomber's song repertoire. This later exhibited the potential to release a great amount of Song Energy, but it can only reach maximum potency when paired with Basara's own.
