I was thinking Mineva crossed with Kishiria after seeing that pic. >>

"Audrey Burn" seemed like it could be an Audrey Hepburn reference so it looked as good a spelling to me as any. Then with "Banerjee" being the last name of a couple of Indian actors, I wondered if Harutoshi Fukui is maybe just a big movie geek, making "Full Frontal" a Steven Soderbergh thing? But I'm just piling speculation on top of speculation now...

As for Audrey looking like Mineva, she's just about the right age...

Still, Full Frontal is just a weird name for a character. What are we going to learn about him next? He likes to sleep in the nude? >>;; The more I stare at the character art, the more annoying it looks. I can take Banarge, but the others are just... ugh. I'm sensing that Yas will be utilizing character designs from some of the other things he's worked on...

The resemblence between that girl and Mineva does seem uncanny. Considering she is of nobility, it's actually quite probable they're the same people - but then again I thought Mineva posed as a fraud at the end of ZZ (misinformed?). Anyway, it's still too early for such speculations. I still think she somewhat resembles Four/Stellar, though it's mainly because of her "loose" clothing.

The fake Mineva at the end of ZZ is a different person from the real one in Zeta, IIRC.

Having a property around called "Gundam UC" isn't going to make the complexities of the Gundam franchise any easier to explain :P

"Full Frontal" is really Rau making sure he is a true Char clone by having his own sexually disguised name, and somehow teleporting to the Universal Century timeline wearing Zechs' suit.

While the hairstyle is definitely Minevas', the rest of her looks more like Sayla than anything else to me. The closed, somewhat defiant look with the closed fists is what reminds me of Sayla.

As for the guy, it's almost like Kira combed his hair for once, stole Amuro's clothes, but shrank them before wearing them. :lol:

I don't think so, that picture looks like a piece of fanart more than official lineart.

The only thing that I have found that even remotely looks like that is this. I'm not even sure of the validity of this though, so I'm not sure if it's official, or even related to Gundam Unicorn, or not.

That's the RX-78XX Gundam Pixie from one of the older Playstation games.

It's not definitely lineart. But it's quite possible that it's an official illustration.

It is possible that it is a manga part there in the novels, according to you?
That could explain this image…

It remember me one of those images made by Newtype's or Gundam Ace's illustrators. Anyway I guess this is Unicorn's Lineart.
