Medina Orthinanos

Medina Orthinanos (メディナ・オルティナノス) is a game-original main character in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris, a game adaptation of the Sword Art Online series. She became the current head of the disgraced Orthinanos noble family after the passing of her father in an accident. Born into an environment where the Orthinanos are labeled as a family of defects (欠陥品), Medina aims to become an Integrity Knight to clear the legacy of the Orthinanos name.

Project Alicization
Medina has short, crimson red hair and green eyes with short, thick eyebrows. She is often seen wearing crimson red armor with white and gold-colored patterns. She also has a narrow cape hanging behind her back and gloves with wide wrists on her hands in the same colour. Below the short skirt of her overalls, black, thigh-high boots with the same crimson, white and golden patterns accompany her outfit. Medina's preferred choice of weaponry is her katana, the Mirage Blade.

During her first year at the Sword Mastery Academy, Medina wore a standard gray uniform and rearranged her hair so that her bangs covered her right eye. After becoming an Elite Swordsman-in-Training and being allowed to customize her uniform color, she wore an orange uniform.

Alicization Lycoris
During her journey to Zakkaria in the 3rd Month of the 378th year of the Human Empire Calendar (HEC), Medina was attacked by a pack of wild beasts. While defending herself from the animals, she encountered two boys named Eugeo and Kirito, who assisted her in dispatching the beasts. After the battle, Medina learnt that the boys were heading for Zakkaria as well and thus reluctantly agreed to let the boys accompany her for the remainder of her journey, despite her irritation that they would interfere with her training.
