Background
Although she only appeared in one episode, Vega was a prominent figure in Amane's life. Originally a minor model, the buxom Vega spared no effort making Amane's life miserable, and only gained supermodel status after Amane retired to become a Galaxy Police officer. By the time Amane's parents coaxed their daughter back to the runways for a Galaxy Police fashion show, Vega couldn't wait to once again get in her digs on her former rival, making snide references to Amane's age. As tempted as Amane was to clobber her, she kept her cool and with Seina (and secretly Kiriko and Ryoko) rooting for her, she was able to upstage her when the fashion show included a live-fire demonstration of new battle gear. Not willing to be outclassed by her old rival, Vega stupidly tried her hand at the same, even though she had no G.P. training to begin with - and as a result failed miserably!
GXP Novels
In the GXP novels, Vega was rather different. Vega was Amane's rival, and was always jealous of her talent and skill as a model. However, she also saw her as a goal to overcome, and was disappointed when Amane left modeling.. Vega was still abrasive and a diva, but actually worked for it. She was angry when Seina saw her naked, and tried to look away, as she thought it meant he found her unattractive, until Amane angrily explained he was modest, which seemed to mollify her somewhat. She trained hard for the combat portion of the fashion show, and made a good showing. At the end, Vega acknowledged to herself her feelings of rivalry and jealousy for Amane, while also having respect for her.
