Elma Hoilie (エルマ・ホイリー Eruma Hoirī) is one of the main characters in the Macross Dynamite 7 OVA. She comes from the planet Zola and wants to become a singer like her mother, Maria Velázquez Hoilie. She also appears in Macross Δ Gaiden: Macross E, albeit much older and working for Chaos' Pipré Branch.
Personality & Character[]
“ | She was a singer, so I want to be a singer too! | ” |
—Elma Hoilie |
Elma is an energetic young girl who lives on the planet Zola and aspires to become a singer like her late mother.
Her Catsnake companion's name is Capy, who rides on her shoulders, similar to how Gubaba rides on Mylene's shoulders. She's a fan of Fire Bomber, and often sings along to their songs when they come on the radio or with a Karaoke machine in Zolan.
History[]
In A.D. 2047, she saves Basara after Poachers rough him up. She treats Basara's wound on his shoulder with teptramiracine, an antibiotic herb that causes temporary muscle weakness, as Zola's atmosphere had become infected with deadly bacteria originating from migrating space whales.
The manga Macross Δ Gaiden: Macross E takes place in A.D. 2062, sixteen years after the OVA, with Elma working as a biologist in cooperation with Chaos' Pipré Branch. She is currently analyzing the Vár-ification of protozoan and other microbiological life. She pilots the "Wind Valkyrie", a green-colored replica of the VF-19 "Fire Valkyrie" and later fires Speaker Pods to help calm rampaging whales on the planet Pipré.
One of her earlier accomplishments were published research papers on the "Galactic Whale Migration and Life". She laments how she once aspired to be a singer as a child but has since moved on.
Relationships[]
