“ | No, I'm staying. There's bound to be more injuries further along. I want to help others in the service of the Lord. | ” | — Adean, to Sigurd |
---|
(Japanese: エーディン Adean) is a nun and noblewoman from Grannvale's Jungby dukedom, a descendant of the Crusader Ulir, the daughter of Lord Ring and the sister of Briggid and Andorey. While the bulk of Grannvale's army was off to war in Isaach, Verdane launched a small-scale invasion, successfully seizing Castle Jungby and kidnapping Adean, with the kingdom's Prince Gandolf taking her back to Verdane. While her childhood friend Sigurd led his few remaining knights into Verdane to rescue her, she was released from their imprisonment by Prince Jamke to travel to meet up with Sigurd's forces, with which she remains throughout Sigurd's troubles with Grannvale until the Battle of Belhalla, which she survived.

Role
Despite their determination to protect Adean when the forces of Verdane surrounded Castle Jungby, Midayle and the other Jungby knights fell to Prince Gandolf and his army. Gandolf took Adean with him back to Jungby, mentioning to his subordinate Gerrard that he intended to marry her. Adean was imprisoned in Castle Marpha, Gandolf's castle, awaiting his attention following the suppression of the invading Chalphy forces; during her imprisonment, she met Deirdre and told her about Sigurd[1]. Prince Jamke came to Marpha to free her, along with the arrested thief Dew at her request; he instructed the two to flee while he returned to the capital to attempt to persuade his father, King Batou, to stop the conflict[2].
Upon reuniting with Sigurd, she refused his request to head back to Jungby, determined to help others with her healing abilities. She mentioned that she was motivated to join the nunnery to help her find her lost twin sister Briggid and give her, the major-blooded descendant of Ulir, the Yewfelle to wield. The two did indeed eventually reunite during the fight with the pirates of Orgahill which Briggid had led until very recently; while Briggid initially disbelieved her, Adean confirmed her identity by giving her the Yewfelle and having her successfully attempt to use it[3].
Adean was one of the few known survivors of the Battle of Belhalla. At some point after the battle, she travelled to Tirnanog, a village in Isaach, and became an abbess at its convent[4]. There, she helped Oifey and Shanan raise Seliph, Larcei, Ulster and Delmud, acting as a surrogate mother to the four; she also had her own children, Lana and Lester.

Adean: Wonderful! You remember! That bow is the holy Yewfelle... It's been handed down through our family for generations.
