Vladilena Milizé
Handler One of Spearhead Squadron and female protagonist of 86 -Eighty-Six-.
Vladilena Milizé (ヴラディレーナ・ミリーゼ), better known as Lena, is the female protagonist of 86 -Eighty-Six-. A young noble officer of the Republic of San Magnolia, she serves as Handler One of Spearhead Squadron, commanding Eighty-Six Juggernaut pilots via the neural Para-RAID system.
Unlike most Alba, Lena refuses to accept the Republic’s fiction of a “war without casualties” and treats the Eighty-Six under her command as human beings. Her skill as a tactician and uncompromising orders earn her the nickname “Bloody Reina”, whilst her nightly Para-RAID conversations with Shinei Nouzen gradually build trust between handler and squadron.
Lena’s arc charts her growth from idealistic prodigy Major to seasoned commander and representative for the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package, as she confronts the prejudice of her own society and fights to secure dignity and recognition for the Eighty-Six.
