Medina

Medina Orthinanos (メディナ・オルティナノス, Medina Orutinanosu?) is a game-original main character in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris, a game adaptation of the Sword Art Online series. She became the current head of the disgraced Orthinanos noble family after the passing of her father in an accident. Born into an environment where the Orthinanos are labeled as a family of defects (欠陥品, Kekkanhin?), Medina aims to become an Integrity Knight to clear the legacy of the Orthinanos name.

Medina has short, crimson red hair and green eyes with short, thick eyebrows. She is often seen wearing crimson red armor with white and gold-colored patterns. She also has a narrow cape hanging behind her back and gloves with wide wrists on her hands in the same colour. Below the short skirt of her overalls, black, thigh-high boots with the same crimson, white and golden patterns accompany her outfit. Medina's preferred choice of weaponry is her katana, the Mirage Blade. She has a thing, yet curvy body, which is shown through most of her clothing.

During her first year at the Sword Mastery Academy, Medina wore a standard gray uniform and rearranged her hair so that her bangs covered her right eye.[11] After becoming an Elite Swordsman-in-Training and being allowed to customize her uniform color, she wore an orange uniform.

Medina was born into House Orthinanos, a first-rank noble family that claimed descent from the founder of High-Norkia style swordsmanship. Unbeknownst to them, those born into the family were implanted with a Warrior Replenishment Module. In the event the Human Empire lacked sufficient manpower to handle the Final Stress Test, these modules would summon Non-Player Characters constructed out of personality data from the Real World to act as soldiers. This attracted the attention of the Pontifex Quinella, who sought to use the modules to escape Underworld without outside assistance. When her attempts to activate the modules repeatedly failed, the Orthinanos family was labeled as defective for supposedly failing a secret task she had personally given them and demoted to second-rank, which led to them being ostracized by the rest of the nobility. Subsequently, the Orthinanoses were forced to live on land poorly suited for growing crops and forbidden from working in the government or military, which left them in poverty.

Despite these circumstances, Medina had a relatively happy childhood, being particularly fond of her sparring sessions with her father. However, in the 377th year of the Human Empire Calendar (HEC), their territory experienced an extended drought. Since her father was unwilling to place more taxes on their already suffering tenant farmers in this situation, he lacked the funds to purchase for her a new wooden sword to train for the Swordcraft Academy test. Upset, the young noblewoman expressed to him her wish that she had been born into a different family.

To Medina's regret, those were the last words she spoke to her father, as he died in an accident in the 12th Month of that same year while participating in a horse race in an attempt to obtain money for her practice sword. As the accident had been caused by the nobleman's ignorance of the alteration to the landscape of the race's route since he last visited it, the girl suspected and accused the other nobles competing in the event of indirectly arranging for his death but still blamed herself for spurring him to enter the race in the first place with their last conversation. Guilt-ridden, the young noblewoman vowed on the family sword she inherited from her father that she would rebuild House Orthinanos's name as atonement, and to always remember the promise she made with him to remain strong, just, and proud of their family.
