IOLE — 24 years old, Female ( cis ), War Cleric

History: Born in New Plegia, but ran away with her mother to escape her father, Askari’s constant abuse. They lived on the streets of Ylisse for a time until a kindly priest named Issak took them in, offering them a place to stay at the monastery where he worked and lived. Iole was reluctant to trust him at first, but quickly came around to him after he comforted her from a nightmare. Issak eventually married her mother, Nura, but she died a few years later due to a prolonged illness. After her mother’s death, Iole dedicated herself to becoming a high-ranked officer just like her mother was, training every single day. Through helping her step-father with his priestly duties and training everyday, she grew into a strong young woman and enlisted as soon as she finished her training. Once enlisted, she quickly raised up the ranks, even being promoted from a recruit to a soldier only 5 months into her training period. Many rumors began to spread about how she achieved such a thing, some believing she did so through less-than-honorable means. Because of this, she had no friends to speak of. She became the captain of her platoon a year after joining and eventually was promoted to be the 23rd platoon’s lieutenant after the departure of their previous lieutenant. She currently works directly for Maxwell, who she also has a rather obvious crush on.

After Lucien’s death, Iole along with her childhood friend, Eion, and Issak left Ylisse to look for Maxwell. Unknown to her, Askari had found her location and tailed her to Valm. 3 weeks passed until he made his move and cornered Iole. He attempted to kill her with his musket, but Issak took the fatal bullet for her, being shot in the chest. Askari unfortunately escaped and Issak died from his wound. Iole refused to return home, insisting upon staying to help Maxwell and Elene. Though, she is currently at an extreme low-point, being severely depressed and reckless.

EION — 21 years old, Male ( trans ), Valkyrie

History: Originally born in Chon’sin to a impoverished young couple, He was left in the care of a monastery in Ylisse by his parents, hoping to give him a better life than they could. Eion preferred to keep to himself, even lashing out at those who attempted to connect with him. Because of this, he became extremely reclusive and often skulked about the monastery. He found himself often watching others from a distance, especially Iole upon her arrival. Eventually, she confronted him and while she was combative towards him at first, they two grew to become rather close as she slowly began to trust others. Along with this, Eion ended up developing feelings for Iole, but was far too scared to act upon them. After she enlisted, he was content with staying at the monastery, but soon came to realize how lonely he was without her around. Iole sending home letters mentioning Maxwell on a frequent basis also seemed to spur him on. Asking Issak to teach him how to wield magic, he became Eion’s mentor. Upon finishing his training, he left the monastery for Ylisstol. After enlisting, he quickly realized that there was little hope that Iole would return his feelings and his feelings soon began to fade. Unfortunately, he developed a crush on Lani soon after.

Currently, Eion is still rather shaken after Issak’s death. His stress and anxiety is only amplified by having to deal with his unrequited feelings for Lani.

During this long period of happiness, she spent most of her days playing and admiring the cultures of the world, but only from a distance. With tensions raising in Archanea, Xane and Vera’s mother, Aine, grew fearful of what could happen to them or their daughter. As a result, they concealed their manakete heritage from the world and lived away from society. Many years passed, the three living through the ruin of war and the prosperity of peace. Upon finding that her sister had gone missing, Aine tearfully said her goodbyes to her family and began her search, leaving Xane to care for Vera alone. For years after, Vera and her father continued to travel, but soon enough, Vera’s curiosity got the best of her. One day, while sneaking away to venture into the city by herself, she was attacked by a group of bandits. They were ready to steal her away to their camp until Xane came to save his daughter. While he was able to scare them away by successfully transforming into his former dragon form, it took a heavy toll of his body. With his last breaths, he told Vera to find Tiki and keep herself safe. She followed her father’s dying request and began to travel throughout Ylisse to find where Lady Tiki was. Eventually learning of her location from a kind fortuneteller, she set of to Valm to meet her father’s dear friend.

She soon gave up after 2 long months of searching and eventually found herself in the ports of Ylisse. She decided to travel to Valm in the hopes of possibly starting over. Learning that the Seven Seas was set to return to Valm that night, but with no money to pay for passage, she resorted to using her usual tactics to find her way onto the ship. Seducing a member of the crew and knocking them out once they were in the lower decks, she quickly hide amongst the cargo, but was quickly caught by Batiste. Instinctively, she shakily held a sword to his throat. While his crew was ready to protect their captain, Batiste stopped them, saying that he “liked her.” This caught Koda off-guard, allowing him to easily disarm her. She feared the worst was about to come, but was surprised when Batiste allowed her to stay on the ship until they arrived in Valm. Confused that he didn’t throw her overboard or harm her, she quickly began to find herself often thinking of Batiste and how strange he seemed to be. The crew was kind to her as well, despite her threatening their captain’s life before. Upon arriving in Valm, she was somewhat sad to leave the ship, but was ready to do so.

Eventually ending up in Rosanne, she tried to find work while looking for her sister, but with little success. Spending a few nights sleeping in the streets, she then met Falcon one night, who offered her a place to stay. She was reluctant to trust him, but was quickly won over by a hot meal and a warm bed to rest in. While she soon began to trust her new caretakers, their habit of sneaking off in the dead of the night made Kanza wonder what they did while they were away from the tavern. Her curiosity got the best of her, eventually following Falcon on one of his missions and finding out about his role in the Beasts. After saving him from a sniper, Falcon agreed to help her impress Lioness enough to get her into the gang.
