Lieutenant Gabriela Lucchini (17). Member of the 10th Fighter Wing of the Principality of Romagna Air Force, callsign "White 35", nickname "Missile". Her Strikers are F-104s, and she typically deploys with an MG42/59 all-purpose machine gun and an M92 pistol. Her familiar is the black leopard. A descendent of an ace from the Great War, Francesca Lucchini, she is also an acquiantance of Charlotte E. Jeager. This might explain her unabashed speed mania; she's spent quite a bit of effort tuning her Strikers to wring as much speed out of them as possible. She's been involved in a number of crashes that were directly related to her reckless tinkering, which earned her the name "Missile". She doesn't pay much attention to trouble she might be causing when she's engrossed in something, and she's very carefree and optimistic. While aiming to beat her Mach 3 speed record in the Gulf War, she racked up over 30 recorded Neuroi kills. "Huh? Looks like the output power's droppi...... Ugyaaaaaa!!"
Considering that *Perrine* of all people has a granddaughter in this setting I have little trouble believing that Lucchini does as well.
Anyhow, I really like this pic. The family resemblance between Gabriella and Francesca is strong, and I like the symbol the artist made for her. It actually kind of resembles the rearing horse symbol that the real life Gruppo 10 (AKA Gruppo X) has used on its fighters. I also like how the artist expanded on the concept I sent him (thanks for translating Solamarle).
