What is "CRACKA LACKING"

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Century

Terra Asterius Zala

Recuperating with military food had helped her recover from her seemingly mind-depriving mental fatigue. Terra also had sometime to get herself comfortable in her own cabin and rested. Her mind was focused on recovering for the training upcoming in several hours after all. She was glad that she managed to get herself back up on her feet without the assistance of some leverage. She dressed herself back up to her soldier gear-- lugging her small body to zip the one-piece suit up after fitting the skin-tight leggings on first and sliding her arms along the arm holes. She checked herself to the mirror, her flowing hair covering her face slightly in a sort of bed head. It took her some time to re-straighten and assemble her hair properly-. She clipped her parted fringe and tied her entire hair into a bun. She proceeded to try and fix her sleepy face with a splash of water and reapplying light make up and lip balm before leaving her cabin.

She was earlier than the other soldiers, including officer Meyryth. She looked around a little to help her gather some bearings and even checked the time by her phone. She wasn't mistaken alright-- but where was everyone? Soon enough, other soldiers began to swarm in to the training area's entrance. When they saw Terra being first to arrive they began to make their own comments. "See? I told you she was gonna be here first. It's perhaps in her head that she's gonna be leading us." That comment somewhat got into her nerves, nearly sending fumes out of her system. She pointed at them and shouted.

"HEY! Drop it! No talks about the squad leader or I'll kick your asses!" The entire group was taken by surprise to see the little angry feline scowling at them with her claws. They commented again.

"Watch out! The cat has claws!" Of course, the comment only made her angrier. She approached the commentator and clawed at the man's face, before standing back in line waiting for Officer Meyryth to arrive. The group of soldiers continued to pool in, but they seem to be content in staying away from Terra-- seen from the 'crater' that it was making as people crowded around. She crossed her arms in annoyance, gritting her teeth and shutting her eyes in frustration in an attempt to deal with the others. She waited until the officer had arrived, then she would give it her all to try and best the others in training.

"Good to see no one has lost their sense of scheduling. Here's the situation, right now our best two chances for standing against the Actualiser Threat lies with the Gundams. I'm currently not at privilege to provide you with the odds of success for pulling this off. However it seems you have already determined who will be your best bet in providing security. As you may remember, Private Zala will be leading you when we have a decent force to back ourselves. Right now only she and Yamato will be making missions for AERO and ZAFT will be doing its best to offer support. I do not expect you to perform miracles but I expect you to be soldiers for this mission to Earth. You are expected to perform with ZAFT pilots at optimal efficiency. Meet with the ZAFT squadron and report to PT right after." With the briefing over, they went on inside to meet with the other ZAFT members and begin their training.

Physical endurance training. Thanks to her being well-fed and rested, seems like she was breezing through most of the pressure unscathed. She was able to match everyone and going for the extra mile by doing more than required. Of course, it tired her, but never had she felt so strong and reinvigorated. Next was running, she was able to keep up the same amount of laps as the others, but her short stature made it impossible for her to run for longer. She was simply not cut out for running. After the run, Terra was able to see the numbnut running over to some other woman in the kick-boxing area, chatting her up as she did her routine. "Not only is he an idiot, looks like he's a womaniser..." She said with squinted eyes. "Unbelievable." Second quarter she was able to keep up in hand-to-hand combat, seeing how her smaller stature meant that she could dodge her opponents easily and deliver quick punches to their face or stomach easily. Or maybe the groin if her opponent was a man-- that always works.

The alarm sounded mid-training. She stopped in her tracks and took a look at Officer Meyryth before running to get herself dressed into her Pilot Suit. She latched the helmet on to her head and quickly made her way to the catapult bay where she mounted into the cockpit of the ZETA and started her systems up. Bridge Captain Terzo immediately contacted Terra as she mounted up. "Private Zala, make sure the enemy do not reach our current location. Do everything you can to hold them back!" She runs a check of her systems to see the grappling hook still offline. She pressed several more switches before jolting the ZETA to life.

"Understood Captain. How many targets are we expecting?" She inquired.

"Our radars detect one-- Wait-- That can't be right..." Terzo seemed hesitant with the matter.

"Captain, one or many contacts, I'm not letting them touch this ship. I'm launching now." The mechanical hands of the catapult equipped the ZETA with the BOWA rifle and its arm-mounted nose shield. She waited for the hangar crew to give the green lights for Terra to launch. As soon as the 'whoop' was heard, she placed her hand on the thrusters. "Terra Asterius Zala. ZETA Gundam, launching!" The sliders underneath disengaged the lock and she felt the momentum pushing forward, launching the Gundam into deep space as Terra pushed the thrusters up and commandeered her Gundam towards the location of the enemy. "ZETA to bridge, do you copy? I have visual on a single target..." The radar indicated a generic mass produced mobile armour unit, but something wasn't right. " Actualiser unit approaching! Radar says it's a Mobile Armour. Uploading video feed to bridge now!" She pushed several buttons along the console and provided vision for the bridge to observe the fleshy and organic-like Mobile Suit approaching.

Michelle slipped herself over to the freezer section of the refrigerator and removed a box of three flavoured ice cream, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. Treating herself to some of that snowy cream goodness she took a scoop and set the box down and opened it. She arranged in a small bowl a scoop of each flavour and equipped herself with a spoon, daintily savouring the melting milkiness.

Michelle opened the preheated oven and found it to be nice and hot enough for the cookie doughs to go in. She perked her head up for Shen trying to get her attention if she wasn't so busy with her husband clipping behind her every time. "Ugh, get a room." Zelena said and the first thing that Michelle thought for both Shen and Rihan was exactly the same.

"Shen, the oven's ready! Come on my loves, get your cookie doughs ready on the tray!" She said to all of her kids who was interested in getting their cookies baked and eaten. Michelle then held on to Zelena's shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be just like her with your boyfriend about. And just admit it, a part of you is happy to see Pandora with someone." She leaned in close to Zelena. "Or maybe you like little Caleb?" She whispered to her ear and snickered.

Pandora smiles at her brother and kisses his cheek "you just luke to fall for my tricks" she giggles and rests her head on his shoulder. Zelena should havr been home by now

As soon as Zelena had arrived into the kitchen, Michelle immediately swooned over to her and greeted her warmly and pushed her to Shen and Rihan. "Your Grandmother is baking cookies. Go on and have your bit of cookies cut."

Someone help me identify who is this character?

Genkai said
You could try and image search it and see if anything comes up that way?

I attempted this the other day with no good results. However, I've found similarly looking characters today.

One here.

And this one:

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Century

Terra Asterius Zala

There wasn't any time to recuperate from what she was feeling. For some reason she had felt fatigue across all parts of her body-- and she was perhaps ready to faint. She wasn't going to allow that to happen since the attack of the Actualisers. What was causing this fatigue anyway? All that she had done was shopping, and a bit of running... Then piloting the ZETA. She couldn't see what could've made her feel so tired. It was mysterious. Right now, Terra was trying to keep herself awake and conscious. Fainting in front of everyone would perhaps cause the other personnel to break into sudden panic-- Certainly wouldn't look good in front of her father too. She tried to focus herself back to the meeting at hand. "The mission of AERO is to see that all sides are capable of defending themselves against the threat of war. As of right now we will have to maintain our forces and move forward with our original mission. The Centennial must reach the capital but it is our mission to see that it is made possible." She saw that they were going to go ahead with their original plan. Perhaps that would be the most sensible move. Having more than just the Centennial Gundam as allies would mean better chances against the Actualiser threat.

"Alright defending the package won't be too bad of a deal. Who gets to pilot the Gundam?" A valid question. So far, only that narrow-minded numbnut was the most capable person to pilot the Gundam successfully. Commander Yamato wasn't even able to achieve the same feats the numbnut's had.

"He doesn't know it, but he is probably the most capable pilot we have enlisted thus far. He is the one who was capable of defeating the Actualiser earlier in the battle within the colony and saved my life. Private Sousuke Yamato." Even Terra was surprised that the numbnut was going to be assigned to the Centennial. She disagreed, seeing how he had performed in the field so poorly and couldn't keep a cool head during missions.

Others became restless, obviously unhappy with the fact that a still hormone-phased youngster was going to be the pilot of the only chance we have against the enemy at hand. "Dad, why do I have to be doing this now? Those guys over there look like they'll handle the Centennial a lot better than I will." An idiot could string together a well-thought sentence once after all. Someone else other than him would be a better-off pilot. She paid more attention as more people began to voice their own personal opinions.

"Hey listen to that, the pretty kid even agrees. Come on Commander you know we've got a better chance with a professional behind that thing." Terra's thoughts exactly. Somebody else far more professional-- Like her father, should pilot it. Commander Yamato seem to have made up his mind about it, however.

"Sousuke Yamato relinquished his civilian status hours ago. As of right now he has shown the ability to pilot it the Centennial and handle against the enemy. And from what I understand our best pilots are currently assigned to their own respective Gundams." The bickering continues in the ranks, disagreeing with Commander Yamato's decision. It could be seen as favourtism but at a time like this, it would easily be slid under the rug with the current shortage. "Our plan now follows as such. Private Zala will lead our ship squadron and Private Yamato will follow under her orders. Ensign Bitalech, you will maintain your position as operator of squadron operations and ensure the training of our pilots is kept to standard." Terra was nearly caught with her jaws to the floor. She was picked out of everyone else to lead a Squadron of Mobile Suits. On top of that, she has authority over the numbnut. Perhaps everything wasn't all that bad. Yet again, it still concerns her that he would be the one piloting the Centennial. "Our current plans will be to travel to Maius Four for resupply. With our current units AERO is unfortunately at a disadvantage."

One of them shouted; "Even with the Gundams?" Only to be responded with the reminder of who was the other pilot presumably taking a jab at Commander Yamato's decision for choosing his son. Kira Yamato ignored the remarks and continued his speech.

"Which is why one of our squadrons will be escorting the Archangel for the duration of our way to the colony. Our pilots have been selected and shall begin a temporary transfer. All participating are to participate and assist as seen fit." She observed the name in the list, but ignored most of it as it was ZAFT operatives being temporarily transferred. "We are currently making our way from the colony and will be arriving in a matter of days. You are instructed to wait for our arrival at the colony and follow activity to regular protocol. Dismissed." As that concluded his speech, Terra and the remaining soldiers saluted the Commander before making their way out from the bridge, and she tried her best to meet her schedule with her fatigued body.

Athrun Zala

He remained by Kira's side listening to what he had to say to his group of soldiers. When he finally had dismissed the group, Athrun turned to Kira and brought his own concern in front of him. "From what I've seen it seems like Sousuke wasn't prepared to begin his time in the military." He watched, waiting for his friend's reply.

"He wasn't. He's not even old enough to have served a few days in the military and he's serving at my age." The mentioning of their past immediately flooded their weary minds. The conflict between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT. This brought a concern of course-- And Kira should know what that concern should be.

"Are you sure he will be able to answer to the demands of war?" He tried to at least remind him of their past-- But Kira remained firm in his ground.

"If he doesn't then we are going to have a demanding war ahead of us. One that we might not have a chance of winning." Athrun turned his eyes away from him, disappointed of the fact that he had seemed to have forgotten the feelings that he felt when he first got pulled into the war.

"Out of all people Kira, you should understand your son's pain the most." Athrun made his way towards the door of the bridge. "Remember when you were still with the Earth Alliance? You didn't want to be pulled into a war as much as your son didn't want to get pulled into this war. You should at least put his feelings into consideration. Otherwise... People are going to die. They could even be your own son." The bridge door opens and he prepared himself to return to the Izanagi. "I will be returning to my ship. The ORB Union has requested my presence and I will see to their needs. I'll leave my daughter to your hands too, Kira. Your sister and I entrust her to you." Athrun made his exit and make way towards the catapult to enter his Infinity Justice Gundam and return to the Izanagi.

"I'm just making cookies with everyone that's here," Shen told Michelle. She then started to roll out the dough. Once she was done she got out the cookie cutters."Grab a cookie cutter you like and start cutting out cookies," She told the children as she grabbed a bat cookie cutter for herself and began cutting cookies.

The smell of the cookie dough was just pleasing to Michelle's nose. She felt the need to pinch a piece and eat it for herself, but that'd be guilty pleasure wouldn't it? All that Michelle could do was hide a little of her own desires. "I'm going to cut some cookies myself." Michelle took a dog-shaped cutter and printed some cookie doughs in shapes of dogs before setting them aside and watched her children cutting their favourites.

Shen walked over to pantry and grabbed other ingredients.-Flour-Baking Powder-Baking Sodaan a few others she would need. Shen then got out the mixer and put it on the counter.

Michelle followed Pandora into the kitchen where all of her children had gathered to play. How glamorous it was to see a functioning family that she had possessed, even though their origins would either be despised by normal people or even creatures against her Master's will. In her eyes, they're all her fruit. Her precious fruit worthy of absolute love. She walked to each and every one of them to greet them with a kiss on their cheek and "Good morning, my child." Smiling and finally heading over to Shen and watched her trying to make a dough mixture. "Good morning Shen. What a pleasant smell you've made in the morning."
