*[[Johan]] <small>(elder brother)</small>

'''Johalva''' (Japanese: {{hl|ヨハルヴァ|Yoharuva}} ''Johalva'') is the youngest son of Duke [[Danann]] of [[Dozel]]. Along with his elder brother [[Johan]], he served his father in the [[Grannvale]] occupation of [[Isaach]], presiding over Sophara Castle. He came into conflict with his family over the rise of [[Seliph]]'s liberation army in Isaach, or rather over [[Larcei]]/[[Creidne]], one of its warriors.

When [[Seliph]] commenced his fight to liberate Isaach, at first Johalva and his axe warrior unit remained stationed as a defensive perimeter surrounding Sophara Castle; once Ganeishire fell to Seliph, the order came through from Danann for both him and Johan to attack, to which Johalva agreed despite his misgivings about fighting Larcei/Creidne. Upon encountering Larcei/Creidne, he was swayed to side with Seliph's army, provoking Johan; otherwise, when Johan was recruited to Seliph's side, Johalva was provoked by him getting to Larcei/Creidne first, and died in battle with Seliph's army.

Before recruitment, Johalva is the boss of Sophara Castle. He starts the chapter as a neutral unit who doesn't move, and becomes an enemy and launches an attack once Ganeishire Castle has been seized. The player has a choice of recruiting either him or [[Johan]]; the brother not recruited remains a boss and must still be fought. If recruited, Sophara Castle becomes a partner castle, and any surviving members of the Sophara army become partner units.

In contrast to Johan, Johalva is more down-to-earth and straightforward: he presents himself as being rough-hewn and seeks to protect that image, but has no interest in the bullying tactics of his father.<ref>{{Cite|'''Larcei/Creidne:''' Hmph. Johalva, you've got your rough image to protect, but you can't be all that bad. At least, I was relieved that you never hurt any of the women or children.

* In [[Heir of Light|Chapter 6]], [[Larcei]]/[[Creidne]] can talk to Johalva while he is an enemy, recruiting him; this cannot be done if [[Johan]] has already been recruited.
