Hi there! I'm a huge fan of your fake units, especially the awakening child units! Do you mind telling me more about Arie, Carther and Shi'Yan? That's if you don't mind of course!
Hi there,
Of course I don’t mind. I guess those three and Solana are really the only ones I haven’t talked about that aren’t Robin exclusives(I think?).
As Libra’s daughter, Arie lives and breathes Naga. She is an Oracle who claims to have the secrets of all hidden away to reveal when the time is right. Whether she does or not, I can’t say, but she is insistent that she will be the reason the Shepherds will overcome Grima.
Not only does she say she has knowledge from Naga, but she also seems to know about a woman named Olesia who seems to be the reason Grima can have a demise at all. Arie claims a cloaked figure came and told her all about Olesia and her actions, so when the time to reveal this information comes, Arie will reveal that as well as Naga’s secrets.
So with all this knowledge, she believes she is a very important figure. It’s too bad she’s such a bad mage. She has the potential to be amazing, but she just hasn’t honed her skill enough. Arie thinks she’s rather good at magic, though, and this is due to Libra quietly switching Arie’s results with his own as a child. So after Libra died and her power suddenly disappeared, she believed it was because she was depressed. So after travelling back in time and meeting with her father again, she thinks her power will return. Does it? Well maybe if you train her up.
I kind of like to think of her as the Dessie of Fire Emblem lol
Regardless, no matter what, if she lives, she ends up realizing that she is just a small part of the world and does small things as a Priestess to maintain the balance as much as she can.
Carther is Donnel’s son, so you’d think he’d be a farming boy, right? No. He hates farming. Or at least he hated it when he was a child. After the happenings of Grima, he wishes things could go back to the peaceful times where he was lying in a wheat field, looking up at the clouds. But he knows he can’t be relaxing when there’s a war to be fought, and Carther is a natural born soldier.
He’s not the tallest in the world, he didn’t get any tall genes from Donnel, but he’s strong and motivated. He takes orders and is able to do every task he’s assigned.
But let’s just say he doesn’t handle the stress well. Carther tries his hardest to please everyone but sometimes pleasing everyone isn’t possible and he has a hard time accepting that. He gets angry at himself for not being able to do more and he gets angry at the world for being so hard on him. Soooo I guess you could say he has some anger management issues when it comes down to it. He just calls it being grumpy, though. This kid just needed a good childhood, man.
You better believe he has the southern accent like his dad, though.
Shi’Yan is a smol sword baby.
Um. He’s... Smol. He likes to fight with swords.
Haha, just kidding. Kind of. He looks up to his father and dreams of being the right hand man of the Khan like his father was(and still kind of is, you know). He trains vigorously. His sword is his whole life, pride, and joy. It always has to be clean and sharp and taken care of.
And he’s a prodigy. From when Lon’Qu passed away to when Shi’Yan traveled back in time, he never lost a match. He doesn’t use the same style as his father and instead came up with his own techniques... The only problem is that these techniques are pretty much everything you shouldn’t be doing when sword fighting. It works for him but it’s disgraceful. Shi’Yan’s argument is that he didn’t have a proper teacher for long enough of his life to master proper skills... But back with his father again, he has infinite time to train up right?
His biggest accomplishment is being a boy so Lon’Qu can actually talk to him face to face. If his father was afraid of him, man would this kid be screwed up due to how much he idolizes him.
