Her death shocks many onlookers, including Riddhe. As she tries to pursue a beaten Frontal, she is killed by Riddhe. Marida eventually succumbs and, after a long recovery process to regain her consciousness, defects from Neo Zeon with Zinnerman. She continues to cause trouble for Banagher, despite constant attempts by the young pilot and her adoptive father to calm her. Her mind distorted by the Mobile Suit's Psycoframe, however, Marida develops an irrational grudge against Banagher and Unicorn since "they have robbed the universe of light" (motherhood). Her brain wave patterns are considered ideal for the MS, Banshee, and she forcefully pilots the Mobile Suit whilst in her weakened state. Though she remains calm in her hospitalized state, her Newtype connection to Banagher and her experience against the Gundam causes her to behave erratically. When Banagher escapes and confronts her a second time, she loses to the MS's advanced NT-D System and is taken prisoner. Swearing to protect her as though she were his own daughter, he takes her in and renames her Marida Cruz.Ī loyal soldier to her new master, Marida attacks and captures Unicorn Gundam for study. Zinnerman sees in her the image of his departed daughter, Marie, and cannot abandon her. Years later, a mentally deprived Puru Twelve is discovered by Suberoa Zinnerman during his bust of an illegal organization. Her reproductive organs are mutilated from her various abortions, making her unable to give birth to children.


Left without her master, she wandered aimlessly and ended up as a sex slave to various "masters". While her sisters fell in combat, Puru Twelve (プルトゥエルブ) miraculously survived with horrible burn markings.

After the death of her master, she and her other sisters were sent on a suicidal mission by Chara Soon to destroy any who stood against Glemy's rebellion. Marida Cruz (マリーダ・クルス) is an artificial Newtype, one of the engineered clones within the Puru series.
