Peri

A cavalier of Nohr who massacres foes with childlike glee. One of Xander's retainers.

Peri is the daughter of a noble family in Nohr and serves as a personal retainer to Prince Xander. On the surface, she appears cheerful, energetic, and overly childish—often speaking in the third person and throwing tantrums like a spoiled child. However, this behavior masks a deeply rooted psychological fracture resulting from a traumatic event in her childhood. When she was young, her beloved mother was brutally murdered by a servant who had become obsessively attached to her. Peri discovered the scene, mistaking the blood for spilled tomato juice before realizing the truth. This moment shattered her emotionally, locking her psyche in a permanently stunted, childlike state and warping her perception of the world around her.

Though her father had the killer executed, he took no meaningful steps to help Peri recover. Instead, he allowed her instability to fester. Convinced that any servant might be another hidden murderer, Peri began executing them for even minor perceived mistakes. Her father, either unwilling or unable to intervene, silently enabled her behavior. Eventually, the household’s dwindling staff led her to leave home. Her talents in combat brought her to the attention of Xander after she placed highly in a nobles' tournament. Seeing potential in her strength and perhaps sensing a loyalty born of raw emotion, Xander recruited her as his vassal.

Beneath her innocent voice and tearful outbursts lies a disturbingly casual attitude toward violence and death. Peri delights in killing, often treating it as a game—especially on the battlefield where such tendencies are tolerated. However, her bloodlust sometimes emerges in civilian contexts as well, where she has been known to kill impulsively over perceived slights. Despite this, she does not lack all self-awareness. In her support conversations with Laslow and others, she occasionally demonstrates glimpses of remorse or confusion about morality. When confronted with the idea of the grief she causes others, she is momentarily shaken, revealing a fractured conscience that is not entirely numb.

Despite her instability, Peri possesses a few redeeming traits. She has a natural talent for cooking, having always prepared her own meals out of paranoia that someone would poison her. She harbors irrational fears—such as an intense hatred for bugs and terror of mummies—but also has softer sides, including a fondness for butterflies and sincere affection for Xander and a small handful of comrades. Still, most attempts to rehabilitate her morality fail or result in others begrudgingly accepting her homicidal impulses as an unchangeable part of who she is.

Her left pauldron and both gauntlets are metallic and asymmetrical, gold with black and white inlays.

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.
