Hana

A noble who is skilled with the katana. One of Sakura's retainers.

Hana serves as one of Princess Sakura’s personal retainers, bound to her by both duty and an unshakable friendship forged in childhood. The daughter of a samurai who loyally served King Sumeragi to the bitter end, Hana grew up revering her father's unwavering devotion to the Hoshidan royal family. His legacy of honor and sacrifice left a profound impression on her, inspiring her to follow the same path of service and martial excellence.

Despite being born into a noble line distantly connected to the royal bloodline, Hana rejected the privileges of aristocracy in favor of rigorous, self-imposed training. She was often seen sneaking into military drills meant for enlisted soldiers, or practicing alone in the open fields long after the sun had set. Her dedication was not lost on those around her—especially Sakura, who recognized Hana's tireless spirit and personal courage even before naming her a retainer. On more than one occasion, Hana had leapt to Sakura’s defense, enduring injuries in the process without complaint.

When the ministers of Hoshido opposed the appointment, citing Hana’s impulsiveness and unrefined demeanor, Sakura overruled them without hesitation. Their bond was not one of convenience or duty—it was a deep, genuine friendship rooted in trust, loyalty, and shared hardships.

Hana’s battlefield prowess is renowned across Hoshido. She is considered one of the finest samurai in the kingdom, though she never flaunts her skill. Her sharp swordsmanship and lightning-fast reflexes are the result of unrelenting discipline; she refuses to miss even a single day of training, pushing herself to the point of collapse in pursuit of mastery. Whether hauling crates across vast fields, sparring with Hinata, or struggling to endure Effie’s crushing training regimen, Hana never gives less than her utmost. To her, combat is not simply a craft—it is the vessel by which she honors her lineage and her promise to protect Sakura.

Despite her ferocity on the battlefield and her tomboyish nature, Hana has a soft side she rarely shows. She enjoys cute things in secret, and has a surprising fondness for gifts with delicate or childish charm—something she sheepishly reveals in her interactions with Hayato. Her tastes are peculiar as well; even the bitter flavors of Saizo’s ceremonial manjuu are met with her enthusiastic approval, baffling even the stoic ninja.

Emotionally driven and often lacking in restraint, Hana is quick to act when Sakura is involved. Her protectiveness can border on possessiveness, as seen in her early hostility toward Corrin—whom she holds responsible for Sakura’s sadness following their abduction. Though her heart is in the right place, her temper can cloud her judgment. In time, however, Hana matures, offering a heartfelt apology and recognizing Corrin’s role in ending the strife between Hoshido and Nohr.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

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.

Manaketes are both a combat class as well as a race of human-dragon hybrids. Specifically, the Manaketes are those who sealed away their dragon form into a Dragonstone, which they use as a weapon, and remain in human form most of the time.
