Marcela Vasquez[a], TAC Name "Macarena", was a mercenary pilot of the Sapin Air Force's Espada Team, and later part of the A World With No Boundaries in the Belkan War.
Biography[]
Marcela was born in the Sapinish capital city of Gran Rugido. She lost her parents to warfare, and in vengeance she became a mercenary and met Alberto Lopez.[1]
She became Alberto's wingman as Espada 2 in the Sapin Air Force. It was said that her light moves as a supporting wingman complemented Alberto's intimidating maneuvers, as if the two were dancing in the air.[1]
Espada Team fought against the Belkan forces and achieved outstanding results. Throughout the battles Marcela's reason to fight changed from personal vengeance to following her flight lead wherever he went. The two eventually came into frequent contact with Osean Air Defense Force's Joshua Bristow, and with Alberto showing enthusiasm for Joshua's "ideal armed force" notion, Marcela followed Alberto and deserted the air force on October 18.[2]
On December 25, Espada Team was tasked to escort the XB-0 Hresvelgr after the latter conducted bombing on Lumen and Valais Air Base. Marcela and Alberto intercepted Galm Team that was in pursuit of the XB-0, but were ultimately shot down.[3]
At the end, Alberto died leaving Marcela behind[note 1]. Marcela returned to Gran Rugido and made a living as a dancer in an unnamed bar.[1] On October 28, 2005, she was interviewed by Brett Thompson, an Osean Broadcasting Corporation reporter doing a story on the Belkan War while searching for the mysterious Galm 1.
Trivia[]
- During the interview, a tank with pigeons on the cannon can be seen through the window of the bar.
