'''Fjalar''' (Japanese: {{hl|ファラ|Fara}} ''Fala''), dubbed the "Mage Fighter" (Japanese: {{hl|魔法戦士|Mahō-senshi}} ''Mage Fighter''), was a member of the [[Twelve Crusaders]], the original wielder and namesake of [[Valflame]] and the founder of [[Grannvale]]'s House [[Velthomer]].

As with the other Crusaders, Fjalar was a warrior fighting in a revolution against the tyranny of the [[Loptrian Empire]], and was one of the survivors barricaded in [[Dahna]] Fortress when the tide turned against their movement. It was at this fortress that the [[Miracle of Dahna]] occurred, changing the tide of the war: Fjalar was chosen by one of the twelve [[dragon]] gods who descended upon the fortress, and with the dragon underwent a [[Holy Blood|blood pact]], which transformed her into one of the Crusaders. The dragon then bestowed upon Fjalar their power, in the form of the [[Valflame]] tome, sealed to Fjalar's new holy bloodline, to wield in the war.

With the other Crusaders, Fjalar fought in the rest of the [[Holy War]] and contributed to the downfall of the Loptrian Empire. At the war's conclusion, Fjalar and five other Crusaders founded the six duchies of Grannvale, the kingdom founded by their leader Saint [[Heim]], with Fjalar founding Velthomer.
