028 Fir
A swordswoman of unknown ability who is the niece of the Sword Saint.
A swordswoman from the plains of Sacae. She yearns to be like her mother who was gifted in swords, and so is on a journey to polish her sword arm. She is incredibly innocent, and so ignorant to the ways of the world, making her quite gullible. She was easily tricked by pirates on the Western Isles into going against Roy. However, by chance she met with Noah again, and soon joined the United Lycian Army.
Profile
Gender—————————————Female
Estimated Age———————————Teen
Title———————–Sword Saint’s Successor
Origin——————————————Sacae

Usually the female warriors of Sacae use bows over swords. Despite that, Fir chose the sword and aspires to be like her late mother, as well as her uncle Karel whom she admires deeply.
She eventually reunites with Karel within the United Lycian Army, and continues to train day by day. She still has ways to go before being able to inherit the title “Sword Saint.”
Nevertheless, her father Bartr says she is blessed with the face of her mother.
