Kira Yamato
BACKGROUND:
Kira's true parents were Ulen and Via Hibiki, geneticists who are both deceased. He is an Ultimate Coordinator; his fetus was artificially developed outside his mother's womb, and all his genetic enhancements are exactly as they were intended to be. He is the only fetus to be successfully developed using the apparatus. At some time in the future, he is adopted by Caridad Yamato and Haruma Yamato, Via Hibiki's sister and brother-in-law. While growing up, as a child, he became best friends with Athrun Zala who gave him his robotic pet Birdie, before leaving.
PERSONALITY:
Kira was at first a timid and cowardly person. He is very kind and helps those in need whenever he can. When the war struck, he took the initiative to protect the Archangel and it's passengers. Afterwards, due to Flay's manipulation, Kira becomes aggressive when defending the archangel to the point where he could kill a person. After Kira felt hatred towards Athrun for killing Tolle Koenig, he begins to question his motive for fighting. He later realizes killing would never end the hatred for war, and changes his fighting method to disarming opponents.
SKILLS:
While lacking any true form of military training, Kira's fighting prowess has developed much as the series progresses. In the original Gundam SEED series, Kira is shown to be inexperienced with handguns, preferring not to use them. He even has to be reminded by Mu to remove the safety on his gun in episode 44 while in pursuit of Rau on Mendel station. He is shown as a skilled unarmed fighter, however, and is extremely effective with his mobile suit's artillery. In Gundam Seed Destiny, his handgun skills improve dramatically as seen in the second assassination attempt on Lacus Clyne. His implied status as a person with high spatial awareness ability also has an impact on his fighting abilities.
PLOT OVERVIEW:
Kira is living a peaceful life until the war between Naturals and Coordinators is bought to Heliopolis and he takes the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam to protect his friends from the threat. Later survivors are bought onto the Archangel and Kira takes the initiative to defend from enemy attacks until they arrive to Alaska of Earth. On the way there, Kira is defeated by Athrun Zala and is transported by Reverend Malchio to Lacus Clyne's mansion on PLANT. After hearing that ZAFT plans to attack the base his friends are staying at, Lacus gives Kira the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam to use. He then accompanies the Archangel whose goal has changed to ending the war. Athrun joins Kira on his quest on realizing wiping out a group of people will not end the war. Later he fights both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT in order to stop both sides from destroying each other. Later he learns of his past from Rau Le Creuset. Later he stops the Earth Alliance's Nuclear Weapons and ZAFT's GENESIS, super weapons built on genocide. He prevents both sides from destroying each other and a peace contract is signed.
Kira has been living on one of the secluded islands Marshall Islands in Orb territory since the end of the war. He and Lacus have spent the last two years after the war assisting Reverend Malchio and Kira's adoptive mother with his orphanage. The Junius Seven Colony Drop Incident, which triggers the Second Bloody Valentine War forces the group to move in with Murrue Ramius and Andrew Waltfeld at their shared mansion in Orb. Later Lacus is a target of an assassination attempt and thus forces Kira to join the war with the Freedom Gundam. Kira continues his role on disarming both opponents in the war but has his motive questioned by others. Later, the Archangel becomes a target by the Minerva and Freedom is defeated and destroyed by Shinn Asuka. Kira is later given ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom by Lacus. Upon Gilbert Durandal's announcement of his The Destiny Plan, Kira and archangel interfere with his plans. Afterwards, Kira meets Shinn in person at the memorial and promise that they will work for a peaceful future.

Kuran Yuuki
ABOUT CROSS / KURAN YUUKI:
Yuki Cross (黒主 優姫, Kurosu Yūki?) is the female protagonist of Vampire Knight. The adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, Yuki is a first year student and a member of the school's disciplinary committee, which means secretly acting as a Guardian for Cross Academy by monitoring and protecting the Day Class from the Night Class. She is generally a cheerful and comedic character, but has a fear of vampires that means she rarely leaves the Cross Academy grounds on her own. She wields the Artemis Rod, the anti-vampire weapon which later transforms into a scythe.
When Yuki was about five years old, Rido Kuran attacked the Kuran family while seeking to take Yuki, whose existence had been hidden from the world as much as possible. To protect her daughter, Juri sacrificed herself to seal Yuki's vampire side and erased her daughter's memory; Yuki's first memory from that point on was of Kaname saving her from a vampire; she grew up harboring deep feelings for him. The two had a close relationship until she witnesses his vampire nature as he fed on a vampire classmate — as a human, Yuki believed that she had no chance of being with Kaname and began to distance herself out of fear, though maintained her attraction to him. After being adopted by Kaien Cross, Yuki has troubling recurring nightmares until Zero joins their household and she forms a strong attachment to him.
After Yuki discovers that Zero has awakened as a vampire and is struggling with his bloodlust, she allows him to secretly feed on her blood. In order to prevent Zero running away, Yuki promises to be his ally and that she will kill him if he becomes a level E vampire. Though Yuki is aware of Zero's hatred of vampires, she comes to realize he despises himself more than anyone as he slowly succumbs into what he hates most. When Shizuka Hio offers to save Zero at the price of Yuki's humanity, Yuki agrees, though is stopped by Zero.
Troubled by the gap in her memory, Yuki attempts to ask Kaname to reveal what he knows about her past. When he offers to provide her an answer if she becomes his lover, Yuki agrees, but ends up trying to remember her forgotten past on her own when Kaname does not give her an answer. Her recurring nightmares return and Kaname eventually bites Yuki to reawaken her true nature as a pureblood vampire and has her drink his blood to restore her complete memories. She is revealed to be Kaname's sister and intended fiancée. Returning to her vampire self, Yuki exhibits an uncontrolled return of her vampire powers and physical changes. She chooses to break off her friendship with Zero, aware of the new antagonism between them, and begins to sense Rido's dangerous revival. Though Kaname attempts to remove her from danger, she refuses to leave Cross Academy and convinces him to leave and continue his own mission while kissing him and assuring him that she will return to him. Deciding to fight Rido, Yuki's Artemis Rod transforms as it tries to reject her vampire nature,and turns into a scythe.
Upon confronting Rido, Yuki nearly fall prey to his words, saved only by Zero interrupting in his own attempt to kill Rido. Though they are now enemies, Yuki reaffirms her vow to be Zero's ally. As Zero attempts to remove her from the fight, Yuki manages to score the killing blow on her uncle. However, Zero turns on her afterwards, still intending to kill her and all pureblood vampires, before Kaname interupts and leaves Yuki and Zero to bid their farewells. Zero bites and kisses Yuki while confessing his romantic feelings for her, to which she seems to show no reaction, announcing that she desires no one's blood but Kaname's. As they part, Zero tells Yuki to go to Kaname but that he will kill her the next time he sees her; Yuki replies that she will continue running from him, so that he will have a reason to live. After they part, Yuki breaks down in tears and comes to realize her sadness of being Zero's enemy, but knows that her true self is a vampire and conceals her feelings. As she leaves the academy with Kaname, she sees Zero carrying Ichiru's dead body.
