The deep lore is that Loran was Tomino's 2nd attempt at a girl protagonist and the suits deep-sixed that idea again. What we ended up with's probably better tho.
I was going to steal this Loran concept art from a Moon's Cocoon post (Spoiler Warning - all of Turn A Gundam for that site), but then I started thinking "Damn, what if Loran was originally a girl disguised as a guy in an early draft ":
Show
I like how the one in the bottom-right looks like Sochie.
Anyways, the goofing with gender stuff was definitely planned from the start in Turn A. Such a fantastic show!
