Plot[]
Panache was first seen in Pina's flashback to when she made the knight order, she was later seen with Bozes and the rest of the order, riding to Italica's aid. When 3 horseless carriages approached from Italica, Panache decided to question the occupants to learn about the situation in Italica, when the occupant stated that they were from Alnus hill, she and the rest of the order went hostile. Believing the strangers to be enemies, they captured their commander while the rest fled, and tortured the prisoner all the way to Italica. Unbeknownst to Panache and the rest of the order, the strangers in question were the Third Recon team, led by Youji Itami, also known as the men in green, and they had saved Italica and signed a ceasefire treaty with Pina. When Bozes and Panache proudly presented their prisoner to Pina, she threw a goblet at Bozes in a fit of rage, Bozes and Panache later found out that the people they had met were guaranteed safe passage by Pina herself, and that the commander they had captured had played a big part in the battle of Italica. Panache was later ordered to seduce Itami in order to keep him silent, she was to let Bozes offer herself first, then come in afterwards, however Bozes lost her temper upon being ignored and attacked Itami out of anger, thus saving Panache from offering herself to Itami. When Pina declared that she was leaving for Alnus alone, Bozes and Panache argued over who would protect Pina, Pina chose Bozes to be her guard, and left Panache to lead the efforts in Italica's recovery.
Sometime later, Panache and many other knights of the order of the rose was sent to Alnus town, where they took language classes in order to be able to translate "fine art" for Pina. During this time, Panache was shown to have a need for speed, she enjoyed riding Kurata's HMV at high speed, however she then noticed the F4 Phantom flying overhead, and upon hearing from Kurata that the F4 is faster than sound, Panache requested a ride in the F4, to which Colonel Kamicoda(god) was eager to accept, however his co-pilot Kurihama(Baron) objected.
Panache was also seen during Pina's coronation alongside the rest of the Rose order of Knights.
During the Imperial Civil War, Panache sheltered Diabo, allowing him to hide in her room at Alnus, even sharing a bed with him. Though she slept with her leader's rival to the throne, she was still loyal to Pina. She hoped Diabo would rein in his ambitions, under Pina and that they would marry. However after she told him of the situation of the possible closure of the Gate, Diabo took it as a mission to report it to his brother to prevent it.
