Marida's a capable pilot who pilots the Kshatriya and its variants, along with the mass-production Qubeley. She's proficient in military martial arts and fights with the single-minded intensity you'd expect from a Cyber Newtype—someone conditioned to see herself as a weapon. She's got a particular obsession with destroying Gundams whenever they show up, dropping everything else to focus on the target.
In combat, she relies heavily on the Kshatriya's funnels, deploying around 18 at once to carpet the battlefield with ranged attacks. It's an overwhelming tactic that works great against weaker opponents and ties up stronger ones. If that doesn't finish the job, she'll close in with beam sabers, keeping the mega particle cannons as a last resort.
She calls Captain Zinnerman "Master," which he finds annoying, but she follows his orders without question. That loyalty and her belief in the Newtype-as-weapon ideology defined her early personality. Then she met Banagher Links, and something shifted. After recovering from the Banshee's cockpit, a softer side started showing through—a kindness nobody had seen before. It's subtle, but it's there, making her more than just the obedient soldier she was trained to be.
