“No! It's just that... I collapse into a coma when I get too hungry! That's why I've got to accept everyone's generous food offers.” —Ilyana in a support conversation with Zihark

Ilyana (イレース, Irēsu, known as Elaice in Japan) is a thunder mage appearing in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She travels with Muston's merchant caravan across Tellius, and often unwittingly winds up captured by enemy forces. She is always hungry.

Role

Prior to the events of Path of Radiance, Ilyana had been traveling with a merchant caravan, but was separated from it during a Daein invasion. She is then forced into helping the Daein forces fight the mercenaries. When she meets Ike during the ensuing battle, she learns that the mercenaries are guarding the caravan, whereupon she opts to defect to him. Ilyana will then remain with the Greil Mercenaries until the Mad King Ashnard is defeated.

Personality and character

Ilyana's most noticeable trait comes in the form of her unusually voracious metabolism. This often causes her to remain ravenous no matter how much she eats, to the point that she may even be on the verge of collapse, despite having consumed large meals. Ilyana makes a mental note to remember Heather, Zihark, and Gatrie, all of whom have offered her food. When she is first encountered in Radiant Dawn, Ilyana is observed to express her anger over being served inferior-quality food in meagre quantities while in prison, as can be seen in the following comment: "The food here... It was terrible, and...they hardly gave us any... I...will have vengeance." Furthermore, during her support conversations with Mia in Path of Radiance, Ilyana is presented as being so hungry to the point that that she collapses onto the floor, whereupon she begins to nibble Mia's boots. Despite her hunger, she is a good person at heart and she does not like fighting, especially against people she consider friends, this shows that she dislike violence, fitting for her light affinity in the game.

Another conversation that pertains to Ilyana's quirky appetite may be observed in the Info Conversation she shares with Heather, where she comments: "Heather. I'll need to remember her name...Heather. She likes to feed me.", as Heather happily saunters off in search of food sources for her.

Ilyana is once asked by Lucia if she happens to be of the Laguz race. Implying she may be a Branded of the beast tribe, considering the fact the the tribe are well known for their large appetite for food and Physical Strength, a stat which she exels at which is unusual for a person of her class. However, this fact is never explicitly accounted for, as Ilyana herself appears to be genuinely unaware of her own background since she might be a orphan, possibly as a result of being a Branded.

Battle quotes

==Radiant Dawn==

Ilyana: Thank you... And yes, Sothe... I don't want to fight...but I'm glad I'll get to fight alongside you again... Micaiah: Ilyana? If you're not up to it, don't feel pressured to fight. We can handle the soldiers. You look a little woozy. Are you sure you're going to be all right? Aimee: She's fine, Micaiah. She's always like that. Micaiah: But... Ilyana: I can fight... I'm...very angry... The food here... It was terrible, and...they gave us hardly any... I... will have vengeance. Micaiah: This girl takes her food pretty seriously. Interesting.
