Psychological profile

The T'sentrati race has been engineered for performing tasks beyond normal human capacity - in physical as well as mental means. Their creators, the Robotech Masters, understood perfectly well that biomechanisms of such complexity, being so close to humans, will not be devoid of emotions, hence will be unpredictable. Unreliability was the price payed for higher intelligence and creative thinking, but Masters were eager to minimize risks of their servants going out of control.

The way to restrict T'sentrati independence was to squish their personality into nonexistence in the face of society and its interests - a method all to common in so many a micronian state. A strict military hierarchy was created, where each individual had his place right from birth; an ideology of unquestioning obedience was stressed, forcing the whole society to adopt a form of one army.The T'sentrati were brought up to fight and die; war was imperative - the only way of life they knew.

In order to prevent the evolution of any emotions short of hatred and lust for battle, female T'sentrati were separated from male, forming Meltrandi units. These were the elite, with faster reflexes and higher intelligence; they were reserved for special operations, given best weaponry and treasured for experience.

Living for war, T'sentrati needed an enemy. In Robotech, such foes were the Invid; in Macross: Do You Remember Love? after a victory over their short-sighted creators, the Protoculture, T'sentrati began to fight among themselves, separated into two clans by the obvious difference of sex.

After Breetai's failure to stop micronian POWs from escaping, Dolza summons the Meltran fleet to take over the operation. As Supreme Commander, Dolza has access to information about the Protoculture, and he immediately recognizes the danger presented by the free micronian society. He foresees the confusion micronians may wreck upon the T'sentrati order; Breetai, an old and experienced commander, seems untrustworthy, and Dolza puts Meltran commander Azonia in charge, understanding that stern relationships between males and females will prevent any conspiracy attempts.(His choice proves right when Azonia reports that Breetai has conducted a peace treaty with micronians, and that many T'sentrati have contacted the micronian society).

Azonia tries to be a calm and effective leader, but is constantly upset by her subordinates. Miriya, the best T'sentrati ace, is quite selfish, and wants everything done her own way, bringing a lot of confusion into Azonia's plans. Their first "test" task was getting the spies onboard SDF-1; Miriya disregards her commander's plan of a diversionary support strike, certain that she alone is capable of fulfilling the objective. Afterwards, when ordered to stop Khyron, Miriya decides to join the fight instead. Finally, she demands to be micronized and sent as a spy to the battlefortress, not explaining why should the best pilot be allowed to perish within the micronian ship.

An even greater threat to Azonia's plans and career is Khyron, the notorious commander put under her jurisdiction by the whim of Dolza.

Azonia's mission is not capturing SDF-1; Dolza knows better than allowing the dreaded contact. But he is uncertain of what to do - destroy the invaluable ship, or revoke capturing attempts and risk contamination; so the baffled Meltrandi are simply following the battlefortress to Earth. Such actions are questioned not only by Khyron, but by Meltrandi themselves, and when the 7th division starts another prohibited attack, Azonia decides to wait and see what happends - perhaps the passionate bluehead will find a way to both gain control of the ship and avoid the threat to T'sentrati society. However, Khyron's goal is simple - destruction of his opponents; as soon as this becomes evident to Azonia, she dispatches the Quadranos to force him back, but Miriya prefers to join the long-awaited fight instead of stopping it. This could really go out of hand, if Khyron didn't decide to leave the task of finishing off SDF-1 to his cruiser's bow section. The attack is stopped by the Daedalus maneuver, and the relaxed Azonia mocks Khyron for his failure, which in fact saved her career.

When informed that the doom she brought to Breetai's fleet (by letting Dolza know of their treason) extends on her forces too, Azonia doesnt hesitate to contact Breetai and offer immediate withdrawal from Earth orbit. What she didn't know from the start was the desperate shortage of protoculture supply on T'sentrati ships, making spacefolds impossible. Contrary to Khyron, who prefers sliding away on conventional thrusters, she decides to fight alongside Breetai and the micronians against Dolza's Main fleet.

The battle is a victory due to Minmay's success as a psychological weapon; but Azonia's flagship was ruined, and if not for Khyron's fortunate arrival, the lady would've burned up in space.

During two long years of living among males, Azonia got rid of many Meltran complexes. Her uniform changed - dumping the high collar made her cape look less official, and the ripped-off sleeves offered a more womanly, if not sexy, look; she also got addicted to drinking wine, probably thanks to Khyron's influence, and acquired a fresher skin color. Nevertheless, her attitude of superiority remained - quite soon after joining the 7th she was ordering around Grel and other subordinates.

Khyron was immensely glad that finally he was the supreme commander and no one could direct him. A special pleasure - Azonia, whom he previosly hated like any authority, was now in his power. However, soon this turned out to be an illusion - the smart Meltran used her charm to control Khyron - to a certain extent, though, because soon it became evident that the feelings she simulated for her own purposes indeed existed.

Contrary to Khyron, Azonia is not a stereotyped villain; in fact, she gets nowhere near the concept of "evilness", and even plays a "good" role when fighting alongside Breetai and the micronians. Her love to Khyron (well, the only decent Zentraedi male around) persuades her to join him in the last battle against SDF-1, where both meet a glorious death hand-in-hand.

The ancient tradition of killing "villains" is common to all genres, anime being not an exception. If Khyron deserved to die in a certain way (he was behind the New Macross massacre and was the evil spirit following SDF-1 from Mars to Earth), Azonia was just a woman in love, and her death was senseless.... well, every story should have its underappreciated tragedy.
