Seethia is a strong-willed girl living in a special reconstruction district after a big disaster. The most eye-catching thing about her is her firm spirit and the pain she feels after losing her father. She lashes out at Guel Jeturk when she learns her father has died instead of coming home safely. Seethia’s tragic fate in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury deeply moves fans, making her story unforgettable.
Seethia has brown skin and is usually seen carrying a baby on her back while helping with daily tasks around her camp. She looks young, about the same age as other children in the camp.
Seethia is known for her brave and strong personality.
She does not hide her feelings and quickly shows anger or sadness, especially about her father.
Even while facing hard times, she tries to be helpful, caring for a baby and supporting others.
Seethia is a member of a group of refugees who live in a closed-down school building, which is used as a cover by the Earthian group "Dawn of Fold."
Her father joined this group to fight, but died during an attack on Plant Quetta.
Seethia never saw his body and learned about his death only when Guel Jeturk, a Spacer, was brought in as a prisoner instead of her father returning.
She had a deep bond with her father, always waiting for him to return.
Seethia works with Sedo Wanchek, a boy her age, to take care of Guel Jeturk during his captivity.
She disliked Guel because he came back alive while her father did not, holding him responsible for her loss.
“That’s right! If you had died, my father would have…!”

Guel’s Effort to Save Her
Even though Olcott decides to leave her due to her bad injuries, Guel is moved by Seethia’s pain and tries to rescue her.
He carries her on his back through falling debris, and they get into the cockpit of a crashed machine together.
But her injuries are too much, and she dies on the way.
Burial and Impact
After the battle, Guel buries Seethia’s body in the schoolyard.

Fans online often express their sadness over her death and wish for an alternate ending where Seethia is saved or grows closer to Guel Jeturk.
She is buried next to the grave of a girl admired by the other children.
She died in Guel’s arms, so at least she was not alone in her final moments.
