*Commander Kiva Andru is one of the main characters of Megas XLR. She is portrayed as a woman in her mid-twenties who sent a robot to the past in attempt to change the tide between Earth and the Glorft.
Kiva served as a military pilot in the year 3037 for the Earth Coalition and was M.E.G.A.S's test pilot during that time. After being sent back in time only to find M.E.G.A.S was destroyed and ultimately rebuilt (and heavily modified) by Coop, she assaults him and Jamie with two other mechs, attempting to retrieve the robot. After being defeated by Megas at the hands of Coop, and having her robot destoryed as well as witnessing his victory over the Glorft, she reluctantly starts to train Coop to fight in Megas.
Kiva continues to be stuck in the past unable to repair the time flux in Megas. Her deep seeded hatred for the Glorft is apparent in the series and she has shown she can and will do whatever it takes to defeat them. Though she is shown not to like either Coop or Jamie in the beginning of the series, her attitude gradually warms to them over the course of the show (an evidence is seen in the episode Space Booty where Kiva prefers staying with Coop and Jamie than with Warlock and even gives her own roll as Coop does before a fight). Kiva appears not to like anything in the past except slushies and potentially beef jerky (in the episode All I Wanted was a Slushie Coop offers to bring her beef jerky).
She has a no-nonsense personality but adopts a small sense of humor as the series progresses. She is also shown to be very laid-back and easygoing with others whom she confronts, and is seen getting along with her peers. Kiva is extremely skilled at robotics and hand to hand combat. She also tried to train Coop with her skills but does it in different ways. Also Kiva could use Technopathy, Stamina & the Sword fighting (in episode 17). Due to her rank as a Commander, Kiva would be seen piloting a mech while also taking responsibilities of leadership with other units in episode 1 ("Test Drive"). Furthermore, she initially showed indifference or confusion to recreational activities and snacks of Coop's timeline due to her background as a soldier from a war-torn future where majority of resources and time would be placed more on war effort than luxuries. She can also be very vengeful and merciless as seen when she ruthlessly beats up Jamie at the end of episode 5 as punishment for accidentally knocking her out.
Kiva was born on September 15, 3012, according to Darklos based on the database she had on her ("DMV - Department of Megas Violations"). This marks her age at 25 years old due to the series starting in the year 3037. As a result, according to Viva Las Megas, Las Vegas would have been destroyed by Glorft in 2999 if 13 years before her birth was accounted. Furthermore, she would have been present at Battle of Last Stand as she would be 23 years old; however, it is unknown when she started her enlistment in Earth Coalition's military. Kiva can be considered, to minor degree, a cyborg, as she has a plug-like cybernetic implant on the back of her skull. In the first episode, this was used to biomechanically link her to her personal robot, although it is never seen in use again after she becomes trapped in the past.*
