Trowa Barton

Ok, ok, not to cause any confusion, we're talking about the "Trowa Barton" previously known as "No-Name". The guy with the brown hair, not blond. Ok? Are you confused anymore? ^_^;; Trowa is silent, serious, and holds a dark past. Not even his closest friends know where he comes from, and dispite rumors, I don't think he is from the L3 colony area. Although it's the best guess. Ahhh, where should we begin? Ok, in the year A.C. 182 A family was caught in a battle between the Alliance and a rebel faction. That family was the Bloom family. Four-year old Katherine Bloom survived, and hated war ever since that day, but her baby brother Trinton Bloom was lost. Years later, we see a nameless boy on the battlefield serving as a mercenary. It's all he's been doing since he was a young child. Then, prior to Operation M, this "No-name" decided to take the Gundam Heavyarms to Earth after the real Trowa Barton was killed, and since he was feeling insecure without a name, he decided to take Trowa's name and MS.

On Earth, as if by chance, he decides to hide out with a Circus Troupe and meets the 17-year old Katherine Bloom. Neither of them know who each other are, but Trowa treats Katherine almost like the big sister that she is. (Well, actually, this happens later in the series.) Trowa also parcipitates in the Gundams plan to destory OZ. On one mission, he meets Sandrock pilot Quatre Raberba Winner, and they become close friends. (Heck, anyone Quatre meets are close friends! ^_^) He also has some acquaintices with another one of the Gundam pilots, Heero. Trowa looks to Heero as someone that he admires and tries to be like Heero. Ok Trowa, you're already sullen and serious enough! ^_^ He picks up Heero after he tries to kill himself for the 1,000th time. (Kidding peoplez. It was the third or fourth time.) And he seems to laugh at the weirdest lines, like when Heero says, "I've got one piece of advice: Dying hurts like hell." Then Trowa bursts out laughing. Well... I guess it was a bit funny... 0_o

Trowa then goes with Heero to Antarctica to battle with Zechs. However, Heero did not want to accept "charity" from Zechs and decided to fight in Trowa's Heavyarms. Afterwards, Trowa along with the rest of the Gundam pilots go to outer space and there Trowa joins the OZ space force to get closer to Trieze so that he can destory him. He proves to be an excellent pilot, and he was assigned to the Vayeate. Then, Heero was captured by OZ while he was trying to destory the new mobile suits. Then he is assigned to the Mercurius. Heero and Trowa go on two missions for OZ. One was "escorting" Zechs to the Fortress Barge. Another was when a new Gundam was discovered that has been not only attacking OZ, but also nearby colonies. This Gundam was the Wing Zero. Trowa had successfully predicted that this Gundam pilot was Quatre, but he had no idea that Quatre had been driven to the point of insanity because of the Zero system and also some of the current events. They enter a battle with Quatre, and there Trowa sees there is truly something wrong with Quatre. Trowa tries to tell Quatre what a mistake he's making, but Quatre is obviously not buying any of it. But then, as Trowa blocks a shot intended for Heero and as his Vayeate explodes, Quatre snaps out of it.

It was almost impossible to survive that explosion, but Trowa did. However, because of the explosion, he had amnesia and could not remember anything. Katherine then finds Trowa and takes him in again as a member of the circus. Trowa was obviously different but Katherine decided that she liked the change because she didn't want him to go back to fighting, and makes several attempts to brush off two of the Gundam pilots, Duo and Quatre. But when the White Fang and OZ start to do battle near the colony, Quatre comes and talks to Trowa, and then Trowa remembers a important line, "I faintly remember someone once telling me that in order to live a good life you must act on your emotions." And so Trowa does just that and joins Noin and Quatre. Later on the the Eve Wars Trowa gets all of his memories back when he pilots the Wing Zero.

Then in the year A.C. 196 there are some noises and Trowa starts to investigate. And while on the colony X18999, Trowa decides to join the Barton Foundation and the Mariemeia Army to try to find out what's going on. And then he ultimately, along with Heero and Duo, stop the Mariemeia Army from dropping the colony X18999. After the war in A.C. 196, he goes back to the Circus Troupe and goes back to being a clown again.
