That's a missed subplot opportunity if you ask me. They could've at least hinted that her earrings only serve to help channel latent Mayan powers instead of chalking it up to some power as a side effect from an alien disease. Of all the Macross Zero references, this one comes a bit short.

As it is in the story, her last name is practically fan service, right up there with Bilrer gazing at Minmay's picture. You could have easily given her a different name and the story wouldn't be affected at all.
