Lynn Minmei

Lynn Minmei was a very famous human singer during the First Robotech War. Minmay is a bright young girl, if a tad unreliable. She maintains a positive attitude that helps her adapt to her environment, such as when she resumed her uncle's Chinese restaurant while on-board the SDF-1 Macross in the original television series, or when she was trapped with Hikaru Ichijyo in the film. However, she can be careless in considering other people's emotions and positions due in part to her self-centered nature and beauty. In the television series, her sudden rise to stardom following her being crowned Miss Macross would eventually drive a wedge between her and her friend Hikaru Ichijyo. She slowly learns to stand up for herself against her cousin and manager, Lynn Kaifun. She tries to pursue Hikaru in hopes for a return to normalcy, but by then, is too late. She instead chooses a life of a singer, and travels alone, becoming a legend that would affect generations to come. In the film adaptation, Minmay is already a professional idol. She is less naive than her television counterpart, teasing Hikaru Ichijyo on how she was acting when performing a "love scene" in one of her movies. She tires of her fame and stressful schedule set by her manager, Lynn Kaifun, who is now her brother instead of her cousin, and eventually falls in love with Hikaru. Sadly, their relationship would not last once they are separated.
