Effie

A gentle knight with great strength and devotion. One of Elise's retainers.

Effie is born in the slums of Nohr, where survival is uncertain and strength is a necessity. Her life takes a dramatic turn when the youngest Nohrian princess, Elise, visits the slums in disguise. Despite their vastly different upbringings, the two girls form an immediate and inseparable bond. When guards nearly punish them for their mischief, Elise reveals her identity, saving them both from consequences. Knowing she may never meet her dearest friend again under normal circumstances, Effie resolves to rise from poverty and earn a place at Elise’s side. Through sheer determination, she enlists in the Nohrian army and eventually enters the royal court. Upon seeing her in uniform, Elise wastes no time naming her as a personal retainer—a position Effie accepts with unwavering devotion.

Though she appears petite and composed, Effie harbors monstrous strength beneath her armor. She performs feats most would consider impossible—bench-pressing tree trunks, shattering fruits with a single hand, and overpowering seasoned warriors. Her immense power is no accident; it is the result of a relentless, self-imposed training regimen that borders on obsession. She endures grueling exercises without pause, blocking out all distractions in pursuit of improvement. In her support with Odin, Effie becomes so consumed by her squat training that she fails to notice his repeated attempts to get her attention—until he mentions a technique that might double her strength, which finally piques her interest.

Effie’s hunger for strength is matched only by her hunger for food. Her body’s constant need to recover from extreme training results in a comically insatiable appetite. Her supports frequently depict her unconsciously stealing or hoarding food in order to sate her endless cravings—an amusing but honest reflection of the toll her physical regimen takes on her.

Yet Effie’s tireless pursuit of strength is not for vanity, glory, or personal gain. Her motivation is singular: to protect Elise. She trains her body into a fortress of muscle so she can stand between her liege and any danger that may threaten her. In battle, she unflinchingly throws herself in front of attacks meant for Elise, never hesitating—never afraid. Her loyalty is absolute, and her body becomes both sword and shield in Elise’s name.

That fierce resolve, however, extends beyond just Elise. Effie is willing to protect any ally with the same unwavering courage. In her supports with Azama, she shields him from harm at the cost of serious injury, yet laughs with genuine satisfaction simply for having succeeded in her duty. She even demonstrates compassion toward enemies, as seen when she protects a wounded young bandit who is abandoned by his allies—choosing mercy over vengeance.

She is the most likely to ask for seconds in the entire army.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
