Sumeragi Lee Noriega

Sumeragi Lee Noriega is a fictional character of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Sumeragi is the tactical forecaster/coordinator and commander of Celestial Being's Ptolemaios crew. She commanded the CBS-70 Ptolemaios in Season 1, the CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 in Season 2 and later CBS-742 Ptolemaios 2 Kai in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie -A wakening of the Trailblazer-. She has brown eyes and long brown hair. During AD 2307 to 2308, she typically wears a blue sleeveless shirt that exposes her midriff, and a white jeans. After rejoining Celestial Being in AD 2312, she wears a uniform like the other members, but her top and jacket have a unique purplish color. Before the events of AD 2301 (pre-season 1), Leesa was a highly motivated and self-confident person. She had the ambition to become a tactical strategist to help reduce causalities for soldiers. After the incident that lead to the death of her lover, Emilio, she was forever changed into a self-loathing person, always walking a life filled with guilt and alcoholism. By AD 2307 (season 1), after joining CB, Sumeragi shines through her tactical coordination; she developed a self-demanding need to execute all things perfectly to avoid past mistakes (due to Emilio's death). Even the slightest tactical mistake would affect her. Her will and resolve was fragile as she constantly needed to drink to help her get through the day. Through it all, she still wanted to change the world for the better and hoped Aeolia's vision to come true. When that dream faded and her spirit broken, she kept running way from her problems with heavy drinking. Following the defeat of CB in AD 2308, she became greatly depressed and drank heavily daily to cope with her sense of failure; as time passed, after her return to CB in AD 2312 (season 2), she slowly regained her will to fight again and accept her mistakes, signified by reduction in drinking. By the end of the events in AD 2312, she got past her depression and regained her resolve to change the world as a much more stronger person.
