Nanai Miguel held two major positions within Neo Zeon: she ran the Newtype Labs and served as Char's chief of operations, handling most of the fleet's strategic planning. Char trusted her enough to put her in command of the assault on Luna II, which says a lot about how much he valued her competence. Their relationship was the subject of gossip—most people saw it as more political theater than genuine romance. That said, Nanai's feelings appear to have been real, even if Char's weren't quite so transparent. Whether he actually cared for her beyond what was useful remains unclear.
