Adelyde

Adelyde is a visiting instructor at F.O.S. While fighting the Punishing Virus on the front lines, she passes her hard-won combat experience on to the academy's cadets. She is widely regarded as one of its strictest—and most respected—instructors. Adelyde was born into the Helio family, one of the four great Transatlantic families and a leader in the energy industry. Her values clashes with theirs, so she left the family and joined F.O.S. She and the Helio family remain almost completely estranged. Adelyde is strict with her cadets but fiercely protective of them. If anyone mistreats or looks down on them, she steps in immediately. Adelyde's frame was developed at F.O.S. for heavy-firepower combat. Its right hand can transform into a large-caliber main weapon. Her love of overwhelming firepower is partly tactical and partly a reflection of her forceful, decisive nature. As one of F.O.S.'s best-known stern instructors, Adelyde has a naturally intimidating presence. Her colleagues rarely try to joke around with her. But anyone who has taken her class or fought beside her knows that beneath her hard exterior is someone they can rely on completely. During the disaster-relief mission codenamed "Styx Crossing," Adelyde stepped up when the mission needed her most. Her calm judgment and quick decisions helped contain the Atlantic Calamity before it could spread further. The experience later led her to become an instructor at F.O.S. and inspired the frame name she chose herself: "Anabasis."
