She protected the Eastern Desert as a mage under the command of Grieth, but following his death, she befriended Celica and came to accompany her. As a child, she lived in a monastery peacefully with her older sisters Hestia and Marla, however, because the two sisters were offered up as sacrifices by the hands of her father Jedah, she decided upon revenge and waited on her chance. Now as a young woman, she gives off a calm and relaxed demeanor, however internally the feelings of hatred she hides are violent and tumultuous, and at the time when she faced off with Jedah, she fought against him as though venting her anger and fury. After having fulfilled her revenge, trying to remedy her father’s actions, she set out on a long journey to find a cure for those whose souls were sacrificed…
Deen

A myrmidon who works under Grieth. He is a remarkable swordsman with a mysterious past that he does not speak about. Though he defended the northern side of the desert, he did not have a high opinion of Grieth and overlooked the assault on his fortress. After Celica defeated Grieth, Deen joined her forces with his Brave Sword.
Deen was raised in a provincial Zofian city to a long lineage of soldiers, and underwent his father’s relentless training from a young age. He joined the Zofian Army when he came of age, and became engaged to a feudal lord’s daughter. He would inherit the lord’s peerage, and everything seemed set for a happy ending. However, while he was away for a mission, the mansion was attacked. As he rushed back upon hearing the news, he himself was attacked and lost his left eye. When he reached the mansion, he found his wife, whose form had completely changed. To kill his beloved fiancée and enact revenge on the man who took his eye, he took the lord’s heirloom Brave Sword.
