2059
Mao does not appear formally in Macross Frontier, but is now well-known as one of the pioneer researchers of the Protoculture.
Along with Ranshe Mei and Grace O'Connor, Mao authored a thesis about the treatment and effects of the V-Type Virus as part of the 117th Long Distance Research Fleet. [1]
The fleet was attacked by the Vajra and it was presumed that she was among those that perished.
Mao's life story was also partially told in the movie "The Bird Human", where she was played by Ranka Lee.[2]
She was later identified as Sheryl Nome's grandmother after a letter addressed to her was found in one of the ruined ships of the ill-fated fleet. Sheryl's treasured earrings once belonged to her.
