Adiane

Adiane the Elegant (アディーネ, Adīne?) is the second of the Spiral King's Four Supreme Generals, and the only female general among their number. She is intensely hot and impulsive, often letting her anger get the better of her and land her in sticky situations or taking out her frustrations out on Viral.

Beastmen War
After Thymilph's death, Adiane is stunned and vows revenge, volunteering to attack the Team Dai-Gurren when given the opportunity by Lordgenome. Though she refused his aid as she blamed him for Thymilph's death, Adiane recruits Viral after he saved her from being crushed by the Dai-Gurren after an attempt to execute Nia once she learns Lordgenome abandoned her. But because of her boasting and staking of her pride on the task, Adiane refuses to return to Teppelin until she destroys Team Dai-Gurren, using the sea to her advantage when the Dai-Gurren crosses it on its way to Teppelin.

With Viral piloting her flagship, Dai-Gunkai, to drag the Dai-Gurren into the cold depths, Adiane engages in personal combat with the Gurren-Lagann in her Sayrune mecha to ensure no interference. But the plan fails, and Adiane attempts to take Nia hostage until Yoko disables the Sayrune's shoulder, leaving it opened to close-range fire from the Dai-Gurren's artillery cannons. Adiane dies instantly in the explosion, lamenting that she failed to avenge Thymilph's death.

Appearance
In Beastman terms, Adiane is almost completely human in appearance, appearing as an attractive woman with blue-green hair. Her long, thick, scorpion tail and snake-like eye are the only physical indications of her true nature. She wears an eye patch over her left eye and dresses in a loose fitting dress and heels.

Power/Abilities

 * Skilled Gunmen pilot: As one of the Four Generals, Adiane is very dangerous in the cockpit of a Gunman. She managed to get the upper hand against five Gunmen attacking simultaneously, and was able to overpower Gurren-Lagann when fighting underwater.


 * Skilled Fighter: In Gurren-Hen, Adiane was shown to be a powerful fighter in her own right, easily overpowering Yoko. However, since it took place in the movie, it isn't known if she can fight in the show (although it is likely that, as a General, she is a formidable warrior in and out of a Gunman's cockpit). In battle, she possesses some degree of superhuman strength and speed, using her sharp fingernails and powerful scorpion tail to her advantage.

Etymology
Adiane's name is based on the DNA chemical adenine and the water elemental, Undine. Her Gunmen, Sayrune, is based on the mythical Azure Dragon, Seiryū.

Trivia

 * Adiane said is good friends with her fellow General, Thymilph, though Guame jokes that they had a closer relationship. She implies this friendship was strong because both Guame and General Cytomander treat her as an inferior because of her gender, while Thymilph respected her as a warrior.
 * Adiane's relationship with Thymilph is most likely related to the relationship between their respective DNA chemicals as thymine and adenine are always bound to one another in a DNA strand.
