060 Idenn
A dark dragon that was created for fighting.
A dark dragon called “The Dark Maiden.” She was originally a Divine Dragon, but during “The Scouring,” the other dragons sealed her heart –forcing her to transform into a Dark Dragon. She was asleep due to the “Sealed Sword—“a blade that reflects the owner’s heart; but was soon awakened by Zephiel. She pledged allegiance to him, and following the King’s will, created Battle Dragons to strengthen Bern’s army.

Idenn, as a Dark Dragon, had her soul sealed away, and remained in a deep sleep to the point that her purpose of existing was forgotten. Zephiel filled that empty soul by teaching her the “right” path that would “fix” the world, and so she became devoted to him.
Even after Zephiel’s death, she continues to follow those teachings, but Roy used the Sealed Sword to set Idenn’s soul back to a blank slate. Idenn lost her heart once again, and found herself being raised by Fa in Nabata Village. A faint light sparkled in the heart that was lost.
