Artesia Som Deikun was born as the daughter of Zeon Zum Deikun. As a young girl, she was caught up in a struggle for supremacy and later began a new life under the name Sayla Mass. However, even after becoming Sayla Mass, she faced many tragedies... This time, we'll introduce the heroine of this work, Sayla Mass.
Artesia Was a Princess-Like Child
This work also depicts many scenes of Sayla (Artesia) as a child. While she may have a calm image in "Mobile Suit Gundam," as a child she was full of energy and had a wide range of facial expressions! She had sparkling eyes and a curious personality. Incidentally, she's always had the same slightly unusual hairstyle.
Innocent and rarely shy around strangers
Due to a power struggle, Artesia was forcibly brought to the Ral household. While her sobbing voice might suggest she was feeling lonely, it turns out she was worried about leaving her beloved cat, Lucifer, at home. She consulted Ramba Ral about the situation, and when he said he would bring her over immediately, she hugged him and even gave him a thank-you kiss. Despite being practically kidnapped, she didn't seem shy at all.
Artesia's best friend is her cat, Lucifer.
Artesia and Casval were close siblings, but they also had another cat they could call their best friend. His name was Lucifer, and he was a black cat with a white nose and a mixed breed appearance. Lucifer has also become very attached to Artesia, and the two (one person and one pet) are very close.
Artesia Leaves Her Beloved Mother and Flees to Earth
With the help of Ramba Ral and Hamon, Artesia and Casval are able to flee to Earth. However, their mother, Istarcia, is confined to the Tower, and the two are separated. Artesia, who had always relied on her mother, cried and refused to leave, but she believed her mother's words, "We'll meet again when the moon is full 100 times," and fled to Earth.
After her exile, she was adopted and changed her name from Artesia to Sayla Mass.
After fleeing to Earth, Artesia was adopted into the Mass family and began calling herself Sayla Mass. Although she's only 10 years old, she visits refugee camps during the day, treating the injured and treating everyone equally, making her well-liked.
Sayla Wants to Become a Nurse
Sayla has been working in the medical field since she was 10, and as an adult, she worked as a nurse at a proper hospital. Later, in "Mobile Suit Gundam," she serves as a member of the White Base, and even there, she uses her experience to help out the medical staff.
Sayla had a tomboyish side as a child
People who watched the adult Sayla in "Mobile Suit Gundam" probably wouldn't realize this, but Sayla was a very active and tomboyish girl as a child. This image shows Sayla returning from a refugee camp, ignoring the servants' concerns about her illness, and instead of taking a shower, she jumped into the pool to clean herself up, assuring them that it was okay.
She also accompanied Edouard on horseback rides.
Even after her exile to Earth, she continued to cherish her brother, and there was a scene where they rode horses together. However, no matter how you look at it, the horse Sayla was riding seemed small and stupid... (lol) She sometimes tried to force her horse to obey her commands, but after Char taught her how to ride, she quickly improved and became a skilled rider.
A sudden farewell to her brother, Édouard
Edouard, who had clearly become strange since the death of their mother, Istarcia, finally said goodbye to Seira on this day. Having just lost her mother and her best friend, Lucifer, Seira was distraught and ran after her brother in tears. However, the two never met again in this film.
It's always Sayla's job to stop Char's rampages.
When he was a child and young, Char would often become aggressive and go out of control, especially when he was in a difficult situation. It was Sayla's job to always stop him. Even when Char went out of control, he would always come to his senses and stop his rampage when Sayla firmly restrained him.
Sayla Shows Leadership During a Mob Attack
In Episode 5, a mob descends on Sayla's mansion. She demonstrates her leadership, issuing clear instructions to the villagers and servants who have fled the house. She orders the villagers to evacuate, and together with the servants, she builds a barricade and fights. The weak Artesia of the past is no longer there.
She demonstrates accurate shooting while shedding tears of rage
Seira calls the rioters "beasts" and points her gun at them. Tears of rage flow from her eyes. However, the bullets she fires from the muzzle are precise enough to hit the rioters in the forehead. She also fires accurately at enemies moving on motorcycles and in cars.
He lost his father, Tiavolo, in this battle...
His father, Tiavolo, was also in the house when the mob attacked. Tiavolo had suffered a heart attack shortly before and was unable to move. The servants carried him to safety, including his bed, but he panicked due to the shock of the battle and passed away.
Char's Sister, Sayla Mass at a Glance
So far, we've introduced Artesia and Sayla. While Sayla is often portrayed as a strong woman, smacking Kai Shiden in Mobile Suit Gundam and appearing in the G Fighter, this film reveals her childhood as a spoiled, crybaby girl. While the adult Sayla Mass is charming, Artesia's childhood is also full of highlights, so be sure to check it out.
