Nora is an Anti-U.N. pilot, highly skilled in both flying and close quarter combat. She is dedicated to the defeat of the U.N. forces who have killed her family and inflicted a huge scar (both physically and mentally) upon her. She is attached to the SV-51 squadron lead by D.D.Ivanov and acts as his wingmate and right hand pilot. Ruthless in her mission, she represents Shin's chief rival both in the sky and in the ground.

Taking place one year before the Zentraedi arrive on Earth, Macross Zero chronicles the final days of the war between the U.N. Spacy and anti-U.N. factions. After being shot down by the anti-U.N.'s newest fighter plane, ace pilot Shin Kudo finds himself on the remote island of Mayan, where technology is almost non-existent. While Shin stays on the island to heal his wounds, the tranqulity of the island is shattered by a battle that involves the UN's newest fighter - the VF-0.
