Name: Miriya Parino

Age: 27 at beginning of Macross series, 36 at end of Sentinels.

Brief History: Miriya Parino, as a Zentraedi was the leader of the elite group of female warriors known as the Quadrono Battalion. Miriya was undefeated and the most skilled pilot of the Zentraedi. This all changed, however, when Khyron told her of an ace aboard the SDF-1, Max Sterling, whom she could not best.

Miriya took this as a challenge, so she launched an unauthorized offensive against the SDF-1 to find and kill Max. When she engaged Max, their fight found its way into Macross City. Max eventually beat her and she fled the scene. Enraged, she requested to her superior, Azonia, to be Micronized. When this request was granted to her, she went aboard the SDF-1 to kill Max Sterling. When they finally met up in private, Miriya attacked Max with a knife. Eventually, Max beat her. Miriya asked to be killed because she could not live with herself. Instead, Max proposed to her and they were married.
