The Time guardian was calm and deliberate, not given to extreames of any emotion. The Zentraedi was an adrenaline junkie who lived for battle and was still trying to learn how to show softer feelings.
The Haruka of this world had been in the RDF a long time, and while she was an experienced pilot, she had been constantly assigned to piloting shuttles, cargo transports, and occasionally search and rescue. Her many requests to be transfered to a combat position had been denied. She was determined not to lose her chance now that she had it. Assuming she could control the temper which had gotten her demoted many times.
Michiru's family had been wiped out in the Rain of Death, She had joined the RDF partially because she didn't want others to suffer the pain she had, and partly to kill zentraedi.
Both Haruka and Michiru were attemping to reconcile their friendship with Pluto in their old lives, with the hatred of Zentraedi each felt in this life. Additionally, their mindsets in the Robotech world had Michiru as heterosexual and Haruka a bisexual, which clashed with their other memories.
In the old timeline, Makoto had lost her parents in a plane crash when she was young. In the new world, not only did they not die in a crash, their lives had been spared durring the Rain of Death _because_ they had been in a plane. They had been crossing the Atlantic returning home to the USA from a european vacation when the Zents opened fire.
The Zents destroyed every large population center on the planet, the blast craters ranging up to 20 miles in diameter. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing once they reached the coast, (as the planned landing site no longer existed) waiting only to find a safe place to put down.
A few days later a patrol of Veritechs had rescued them from a party of rogue Zentraedi and arranged transport to the newest incarnation of Macross City, rise around the SDF-1 which had came down in Albert, a short ways north of the Montana border after their counterattack destroyed the Zent fleet.
The new world's Makoto had been facinated by the veritechs, especially after seeing one of them transform to battloid mode and open a large can of whoopass on some Zent footsoldiers in hand to hand combat.
